Hmm, interesting theory. However:
We know this is an issue with language models, it happens all the time with weaker ones - so there is an alternative explanation.
LLMs are running at a loss right now, the company would lose more money than they gain from you - so there is no motive.
it was proposed less as a hypothesis about reality than as virtue signalling (in the original sense)
No, it wasn't a virtue signal, you fucking dingdongs.
Capitalism is rife with undercooked products, because getting a product out there starts the income flowing sooner. They don't have to be making a profit for a revenue stream to make sense.
Fuck, it's like all you idiots can do is project your lack of understanding on others...
Of course there's a technical reason for it, but they have incentive to try and sell even a shitty product.
I don't think this really addresses my second point.
How does it not? This isn't a fucking debate. How would artificially bloating the number of tokens they sell not help their bottom line?
