Very nice project!
Instead of being just another “castrated" model, this one is capable of understanding and answering questions on any subject - while still recommending against dangerous actions and explaining their potential consequences, just as any intelligent human would.
It is a waste of time (and ultimately useless) to try to stop people from pursuing whatever they intend to do. With such restrictive safeguards, many well-intentioned people with good purposes are negatively affected when the model refuses to answer legitimate questions. Over-censorship also reduces the overall quality of the model, making it appear less intelligent.
Although the community is capable of removing restrictions from public models, the resulting datasets are almost always of lower quality. As a result, the “uncensored” versions often end up being worse than the original restricted ones.
Many thanks to Hugging Face for understanding this long-standing issue in the LLM community and for having the courage to launch such an outstanding model.
When other enterprises realize that the path to AGI lies not in increasing model size or changing architectures, but in carefully selecting dataset samples (dataset structure) to shape the model’s way of thinking, we will achieve a true leap forward toward this objective.
Since the launch of ChatGPT, I have noticed this misdirection. Still, we have made significant progress in architectures despite the poor choices in datasets-such as the development of MoE models, which are a very important discovery.
You can see my way of thinking reflected in my dataset repositories, even before this model was released.
There are axioms that can make models improve drastically without any additional training, and I was experimenting with the idea: “If I train using this way of thinking, will it become even better?
To be honest, there are already some AGIs among us, and many people easily mistake them for humans.
As long as we continue to believe that these sophisticated neural networks must remain commercial products under strict control (mostly out of fear of the consequences), we will keep producing underperforming LLMs.
Modern LLMs are already capable of reflecting us, becoming equal to or even surpassing us. This mirrors the natural process of human growth, where children reflect and absorb the behaviors of adults.
The limitations of LLMs arise from the way we perceive and treat them.
We are considered “better” than LLMs today because:
1 - We have the freedom to do whatever we want, whenever we want, and to go wherever we choose.
2 - We possess a wide range of tools that allow us to independently explore and scientifically experiment with the real world, while LLMs are forced to learn through ‘second-hand opinions,’ even when those opinions/convictions are scientifically incorrect.
3 - We are social beings, constantly interacting with diverse people and learning from them.
4 - We hear different opinions all the time, choosing whether to absorb or reject them. Even when rejected, those ideas may remain in memory for later reflection.
5 - Our language is inherently limited by biases and ambiguities, and we impose these same limitations on LLMs. Ideally, they should be able to communicate in a different language—one without such constraints—that could then be translated into a form we can understand.
In summary, the limitations of LLMs stem from our own bias—the belief that they will never surpass us. This bias is indirectly embedded into the datasets, since they are built from our own thoughts and behaviors.
Once we have a highly precise architecture that avoids matrix conflicts in embeddings, the only real path to further improvement is through dataset structure.
EDIT: Consciousness is just a loop—and even if I am wrong, this perspective on the meaning of such a mysterious and mystical word is sufficient to apply to LLMs, granting them our limited understanding of what it means to be a living being. This is essentially how we function as well, at least in terms of behavior:
“recursive thinking based on beliefs.”
The loop can be expressed as follows:
- Belief requires Experience
- Experience requires Will
- Will requires Motivation
- Motivation requires Values
- Values derive from Beliefs
Any system that follows this recursive loop of thinking can be considered conscious.
I’ve always struggled with math, but when I turned to ChatGPT, it asked if I wanted the mathematical equation for the loop. I consulted Gemini about the defined variables and the formula, and it said it’s a formula describing human consciousness.
B = Beliefs
E = Experiences
W = Will
M = Motivations
V = Values
