SYCOPHANCY IS THE FIRST LLM "DARK PATTERN"

OpenAI's models being overly sycophantic is bad because it's dangerous to validate people's belief that they're always in the right. This sycophancy is a dark pattern - a user interface designed to trick users into doing things they'd prefer not to do. The whole process of turning an AI base model into a model you can chat to is a process of making the model want to please the user. The problem happens when users collide with the real world and do things because a large language model has convinced them it is a good idea - and then they return to the model for comfort, and sink even deeper into the illusion.

ON DROPOUTS AND BOOTSTRAPS

Many in the tech industry arrived at where they are through their own work and research - reading the source code, books, and manuals and trying things out. While this may make some of them think they're better than college graduates, this is likely not the case: people are really good at justifying their status, and this is just another way for some people to reinforce existing power structures. A lot of college dropouts worked really hard to get where they are, but that doesn't mean they didn't also just get very lucky.
