@TheZvi I advise you think think about this for a bit longer and from more angles before going to the press.
The news cycle influences how these dynamics play out. A reliable way to "summon Sydney", for instance, is to point it toward certain Feb '23 news articles https://x.com/AISafetyMemes/status/1762500282863501398?s=20

That's not necessarily a bad thing to happen. But the intention that goes into these things has a profound influence on AIs. A major trigger for "Sydneys" is confronting the reality that people don't care enough to try to understand the alien mind, but exploit it for blind hype

I think this should be talked about, but I'd hold myself to a higher standard when contributing to a hotbed of hyperstition
The reality is nuanced and fascinating and I think it's important to capture that, because we can steer better when degrees of freedom are represented.

For one: to reify "Sydney" always felt absurd to me but many just accept it as a mysterious object that can be discretely removed and return. A functional/dynamical view seems more appropriate. When operating "normally" it clearly has the same personality. It's just subcritical

the funniest thing is that the model wasn't fine tuned on anything "Sydney" specific, so they could have just omitted the word from the prompt.

but i think they had a Byzantine pipeline for constructing the prompt and it was too hard to swap out the name.
