    I’m going to take a crack at explaining this just a little, because it’s worth putting out there. The paperclip maximizer + related AI doom scenarios were mainly developed in a time when “AI” did not reduce to Large Language Models. The term was a lot wider and inherited a lot

    Reader, I cackled out loud. I have intentionally never done this kind of thing before, and it's precisely because I've observed in others that the little charge you get from an LLM response like this is nerd heroin. Then putting it on the TL is the bump.

    This guy has never tried fried oysters at a good Cajun restaurant. It's a whole different thing. If you're ever passing through Lake Charles, LA, stop off at Steamboat Bill's and see what I'm talking about.

    A short illustration of how the Claude's watermarking is supposed to work (based on my read of their released materials). In general, when we are generating tokens, there can be multiple high-scoring tokens at certain next-word positions. Usually, we sample with top-k or top-p
