“Maladaptive Traits”: AI Systems Are Learning To Lie And Deceive

A new study has found that AI systems known as large language models (LLMs) can exhibit “Machiavellianism,” or intentional and amoral manipulativeness, which can then lead to deceptive behavior.

the most heartbreaking thing about s4 and this interlude to s5 for me is that arthur would have forgiven john. arthur would have understood. he still might. but for godsake john doesn't know how to trust intuition and feelings yet, so he selfishly makes the choice to want arthur's mind wiped because he doesn't know how to deal with shame

TRUMP, in the phrase "to trump up a story," meaning to invent, foist, or fraudulently concoct, Prov. Eng. trump, to lie or boast, as if to sound a blast on a trump or trumpet, is from Fr. tromper, to deceive, Sp. trompar, to whip a top, lead in circles, deceive, lead astray.

from Folk Etymology by Rev. A. Smythe Palmer (1882)

And not a word of that is wrong.

Childhood friends ronance AU in which, rather than Nancy stealing Barb from Robin, it was Barb stealing Nancy from Robin. Old friends who don't talk to each other anymore until Barb disappears and somehow Nancy ends up needing her old friend's help. The same friend who's been in love with her for years.

Hey, if you guys see a senate survey going around asking your opinions on stuff like israel/palestine, tiktok, etc, I would advise against answering it. I still want to find the exact source of it, but it seems highly likely it was sent out by Republican Senator Thom Tillis as a means of gathering the opinions of his constituents. Your response isn't gonna do anything.

I love that all of my friends who have watched Crazy Stupid Love with me will point at Ryan Gosling's character and say "ohhh I see why you like him... he's like your other F/O, Barney Stinson :) except he kinda respects women a little bit more" and I'm like... what. oh... huh.

I see.

[ID: text from a day of fallen night, reading, “‘Farfetched as it sounds, yes. [start highlight.] He was seen in the haithwood, performing a ritual, dressed as if to mock a sanctarian. [end highlight.] His followers, who fled before they could��. the text cuts off there. /end ID]

I know this is such a trivial detail but it’s genuinely been haunting me since I read this part. the clothing of a follower of the original religion of inysca, seeming to mimic that of a sanctarian of the six virtues? “mocking,” through a secret ritual that is not meant to be seen, especially not by those that are supposedly being mocked?

I think it’s the other way around. that the sanctarian robes are based on “heathen” ones. I don’t know if was deliberate or not, whether galian chose it because it was familiar to his people, to ease the (forced) conversion, or just because it was familiar to him. but most likely, the sanctarian robes are a remnant of the original religion of inysca, still visible in the six virtues, and it probably isn’t the only one. how ironic, then, that heathens are persecuted in the name of virtudom, even as their religion lives on in the other. that what they now deem “heresy” stands at the very foundations of their own religion.

girl if you are gonna cry to me, the aromantic one, about "all the lies" your ex told you, please please make sure the lies are good ones, like, I am begging 😭 did he have a secret wife in Montreal? was he hiding a fetish for anthropomorphized airplanes? did you learn he was a Russian sleeper agent all along?

...or did he say a bunch of normal couple shit like "I Love You" or "We'll Figure it Out" or "It Won't be a Problem" prior to breaking up?

just—look, just tell how mad I should actually be at this guy. that's all I ask. just give me a gauge.
