As someone who works in marketing, this is one of the cheapest tricks to sell something: "Our product is so good that it is dangerous and we cannot release it to the world". This translates to "Give us a lot of money for limited, exclusive access, sign this NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) so no one finds out it's not that good until we make enough revenue and can claim we made a less dangerous version for all, but the better version with more risks is established as high-price product." ;)
And of course, in "AI" land, use the established "you are prompting it wrong" when customers complain that they don't see the benefits of paying a lot for something that doesn't deliver ;)
@[email protected] Ich habe ein LLM gebaut, da wird der falsche Prompt eingegeben und die Antwort ist der richtige Prompt.

@[email protected] Prof Wolfgang Wahlster war Gründungsdirektor des "Deutschen Forschungszentrum für künstliche Intelligenz" und hat dieses bis zur Rente geleitet. Er hat das Wort "Industrie 4.0" erfunden und galt jahrezehntelang als die deutsche Autorität für KI. Er hat den Begriff "Overanswering" ("Überbeantworten") geprägt, der kurz gesagt bedeutet: "Diese verflixte KI soll gefälligst tun, was ich meine, nicht das was ich sage!!1!!!" @[email protected]
@Life_is @jwildeboer mir ist der Spruch erstmals Ende der Neunziger begegnet. Und ja, der passt auch auf KI 😂
@jwildeboer "so, where is the documentation on effective and efficient prompting?"
@quinn "Prompting is more an art than a simple process we can document. For $LOTSAMONEY we can get you exclusive sessions with our resident prompt artists. Do note the NDA needed for that and you are only allowed to take notes, no recordings, no followup questions. This is a limited offer." ;)
@jwildeboer @quinn Soooo... Is someone already working on an LLM that will "democratise" prompting?
@jwildeboer We used to call computer instructions "commands" for a reason. Wishes are reserved privileges for sentient beings.

And if it just so happened that you utterly embarrassed yourself by the atrocious quality of work your engineers produced, a little distraction might come in handy.

@jwildeboer Have you tried reading their 245 page long "System Card" for Mythos? I went through the first 46 pages for now and it's painful how much fearmongering and how little actual on topic substance there is.

The 2. chapter is about risk assessment and there's everything but risk assessment, including a table which shows how much faster Mythos can be compared to their other models.

For me it looks like the usual pre-IPO marketing (Reuters and other news agencies suggest late 2026).

it's such a weird kind of religion... faith on an LLM's supposed artificial intelligence, prayers to the supreme beings in the form of prompts, misanswered prayers are the prayer's fault for praying wrong... this all checks out as a religion. but where's the profit?
