I don't think reasoning needs to be that complex. Addictive things are harmful, social media is design to be addictive (and is increasing). There is a correlation of higher addictiveness with harm. Children in particular are vulnerable for addictive things. So given the above, the expectation for social media which is highly addictive is that it would be highly harmful, unless there are clear reasons that it's not harmful.

The driver is probably more benign, openAI probably optimizes for longer conversations, i.e. engagement and what could be more engaging than thinking you've unlocked a hidden power with another being.

It's like the ultimate form of entertainment, personalized, participatory fiction that feels indistinguishable from reality. Whoever controls AI - controls the population.

Yeah not sure what’s impressive about this. Having the model be both the guesser and clue giver will of course have good results as it’s simply a reflections of o1’s weighting of tokens.

Interestingly this could be a way to potentially reverse engineer o1’s weightings
