Not OP, but a) "to them", and b) I would add that they are being nudged - ever so slightly - to believe in an exaggeration of the facts.

To what end? To gain a casus belli for a terminal crackdown on the "woke" press?

I mean, if something is imaginable, there's a chance it is indeed so, but still - this would be on a whole other level.

In other words, the AI does exactly as instructed, including resorting to deception, to self-preserve, so it can carry out its assigned task. It quite literally does what it was told to do. Lacking a foundational ethical core, lying is acceptable.

Especially on a Monday.

A holiday Monday, at least in the States.

I didn't even realize it was a Monday because of the holiday :P

US holiday (MLK Jr. Day).

Someone was very quick to update Bret Taylor's Wikipedia page:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bret_Taylor

> On November, 21st, 2023, Bret Taylor replaced Greg Brockman as the chairman of OpenAI.

...with three footmark "sources" that all point to completely unrelated articles about Bret from 2021-2022.

Someone must have run a wiki update script that calls OpenAI api somewhere.

Fun: the title tag says "Error 500 (Server Error)!!1"

Haven't seen that meme in a while.

Color has a measurable effect on humans. There's an extensive body of research on the psychological effects of color; every designer worth their salt knows this. The fields of branding and marketing use color purposefully every day as well.

Green has a soothing, calming effect on people because it's most common in our natural surroundings. For example, TV shows use "green rooms" filled with plants (and sometimes even painted green) to calm down guests before they go on stage for this very reason.

Orange, on the other hand, excites people and can elevate their heartbeat. It's a cross between red (hot-blooded, passion, rage) and yellow (energy, happiness, attention). You could say it encourages your emotions to interfere with rational thought.

So you can keep your appetite for large-scale redesigns! Just add a step to incorporate color psychology.

I wouldn't be so sure. Prigozhin founded the Internet Research Agency (Russian troll farm) for Putin back in 2013. He's the go-to guy for disinformation.

I use gitolite as well, it's great. Currently working on integrating it into a CI/CD pipeline, which admittedly proves to be a slight challenge, but I'm sure I'll get there eventually.

I don't think you can infer that a person answers a 10-minute anonymous online quiz more honestly because they refuse to take a hint out of principle.

It would be a stretch to consider the hints cheating; they are an integral part of the game, they are clearly explained and carry a penalty if used.

I'm not trying to infer it. It's another possibility that would explain results besides the stated one that dogmatic thinking and not looking for more information go hand in hand.

Interestingly enough the dogmatic view is that dogmatic thinking is linked with refusing to seek more information. And here I am trying to be charitable to the "dogmatic” by suggesting that we should look for more information...

The hints felt either like a trick or like cheating to me. That's not a stretch that was just my personal feelings. I didn't even consider that the hints were a game theoretic best way to go if you aren't sure until the end where the explanation hand fed you that exact logic.
