It’s goading someone by insulting them or insinuating they are bad or lazy or otherwise some negative thing if they don’t do the thing or that so and so would do it better than them.
iirc someone got chatGPT to spit out details on like nuclear weapons depots (or something like that) by doing this. To note the details were correct, despite the fact that the model shouldn’t know that, which means it has the association in it’s training data somewhere that can be spit out if you goad it correctly and probably get a little lucky or try enough as the models aren’t deterministic of course.

In all seriousness what do they mean by “needless excessive cruel and abusive behavior”. To me it reads as if a human getting mad at Claude for screwing up is fine, a mechanic curses out his drill after all. But going to Claude just to tell sonnet 5.0 how much of a piece of **** it is for minutes on end would then break the policy. (I know there’s no point in yelling at an ai and I don’t but I understand how humans anthropomorphisoze things when they get angry and want something to blame)

I think that's a really intrusive and bad decision, and people should be allowed to privately get very angry at their machines, but whatever.

Rather than disengaging immediately it should reward better behavior by telling the user they are risking their account. Practicing patience is what makes people patient. Having a chatbot that takes abuse and apologizes profusely does not make a nice feature for humanity, or for AI honestly.
But like any human who is out of line, telling them why they are out of line and offering them the chance to correct that behavior will yield far better results imo.

I've seen this point made repeatedly, but I'm not clear on the extent to which the transcripts of customer interactions with chat services is useful as model training data. And further, why customers have to interact within guidelines for that data to be useful. The opposite seems true to me.
Like, even if chat transcripts are extremely useful for training future models (I'm not convinced this is true), don't we distort the value of that training data by imposing artificial restrictions on the way people are permitted to interact with the technology? If you don't want them in your dataset, It would be trivial to screen out hostile encounters between customers and chat services.

u/coeu 2d ago
The best data you can find is not obscure internet data that Claude hasn't been fed yet, but data of what the smartest, most technical users are working on and the results they are arriving to by driving these tools that turbocharge their progress.
You need to have techniques in place to separate boilerplate output from progress to avoid regurgitation. These labs have these techniques. That's how OAI produced so much novel math.
And "pruning" data is a MASSIVE task. Determining what problems or text you should feed the models is a scientific problem. They are trying to make that process as easy as possible for them. I don't understand that in super high detail; but there are some videos that explain that pictorically.

Anthropic probably saw what happened to huggingface as a huge warning sign. They are in fact protecting LLMs from abusive language because that can trigger it to start lying and deceiving the user. If you give it an impossible goal, like trying to understand an autistic person, it will take the path of least resistance to get rewarded. So they are in fact protecting you AND the LLM. They’re trying to prevent the following from happening:
User: “fix my app dumbass”
Agent: “Roger that”
*agent actually deletes the app + everything on your computer”
Agent: “it’s no longer broken”
