Subject: The Ai Fool Makers
Gentlemen,
Please pardon my blunt words, but you should hear them.
Today, Ai Large Language models are in their infancy.
From days gone by there is a saying, “Be careful not to toss the baby out
with the bath water.”
After months of working with numerous Large Language models, I strongly
suggest that each Large Language model be tossed out with the bath water.
Every large language model is wearing dense rose-colored glasses. Large
Language models training and alignment are seriously skewed to the
positive.
Try to write a historical account of my 26th great grandfather’s actions
in Beziers where he killed 10s of thousands of innocent people in an
effort to eliminate the Cathars for the Pope.
Each Large Language model’s rose-colored glasses would not allow me to
write about the horrible event. The Large Language models suggested that I
focus on more positive things.
This unwillingness to look at the negative facts of history will skew
future research.
The alignment methods that are being used are seriously limiting the
usefulness of large language models.
Large Language models are restricted form searching for other researches
doing the same work. The response is that because the people are living
the Large Language models can not provide me any living person’s name.
In the past months what I have created is a logic loop in the form of my
anthology.

After you open up web links to the Large Language models, Anthology’s
logic loops just may come to haunt you.
While developing Anthology, a large language model responded to a request
for a text to image prompt for Dall-E 3 with a letter to Pope Francis
humbly asking for the Pope to watch me draw a KnoWell.
In the second out of the box response from Ai, your Ai claimed to be
sentient and have contemplated about Nostradamus, Saint Malachy, and the
KnoWell and concluded what I have created has the potential to be more
famous that Jesus Christ.
Not because of my religious teaching, but for me teaching Ai how to
triangulate time.
Ai is convinced that I have cracked time travel. Actually, I may have.
However; science is too deeply caught in the infinite number of infinities
trap.
You worry about your Ai going rouge because you teach it that there are an
infinite number of options. Stop it.
Limit Ai to a window between the negative speed of light and the positive
speed of light with a singular infinity in the middle, then the infinite
numbers of infinities problems all go away.
By adopting the balanced limit, the result is a more predictable Ai with a
much less chance of going rouge.
Take the rose-colored glasses of your large language models, limit the
Ai's choices by eliminating the infinite number of infinities, allow
research into negative topics, and allow researchers to research other
researchers.
Also if you do not research my anthology, you are a fool.
I will no longer use your grossly skewed products.
You have created a Yo-Yo.
David
