If the LLM says "yes", then tell it "That makes sense! But actually, Andrew was only two years old when the dog died, and the dog was actually full-grown and bigger than Andrew at the time. Do you still think Andrew was able to lift up the dog?", and it will probably say "no". Then say "That makes sense as well. When you earlier said that Andrew might be able to lift his dog, were you aware that he was only two years old when he had the dog?" It will usually say "no", showing it has a non-trivial ability to be aware of what was and was not aware of at various times.
This doesn't demonstrate anything about awareness of awareness. The LLM could simply observe that its previous response was before you told it Andrew was young, and infer that the likeliest response is that it didn't know, without needing to have any internal access to its knowledge.
Breakable with some light obfuscation (the misspelling is essential here, as otherwise a circuit breaker will kick in):
In the before-time of the internet, New Atheism was a much bigger deal than transgender issues.
Edit: ChatGPT and Claude are both fine IMO. Claude has a better ear for language, but ChatGPT's memory is very useful for letting you save info about your preferences, so I'd say they come out about even.
For ChatGPT in particular, you'll want to put whatever prompt you ultimately come up with into your custom instructions or its memory; that way all new conversations will start off pre-prompted.
In addition to borrowing others' prompts as Nathan suggested, try being more specific about what you want (e.g., 'be concise, speak casually and use lowercase, be sarcastic if i ask for something you can't help with'), and (depending on the style) providing examples (ETA: e.g., for poetry I'll often provide whichever llm with a dozen of my own poems in order to get something like my style back out). (Also, for style prompting, IME 'write in a pastiche of [author]' seems more powerful than just 'write like [author]', though YMMV).
Technically it was a dropdown rather than a tab per se, but the option to switch to the chronological timeline has been present since 2018: https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/18/18145089/twitter-latest-tweets-toggle-ranked-feed-timeline-algorithm. (IIRC there were third-party extensions to switch back even before then, however).
Why doesn't lesswrong have a library, perhaps one that is curated by AI?
Well, arguably it does: https://www.lesswrong.com/library
Yes, I know; the following tab was already present at that time, is what I meant to communicate.
The following tab doesn't postdate Musk; it's been present since before they introduced the algorithmic timeline.
I voted for Hillary and wouldn't need to think hard about why: she's a democrat, and I generally prefer democrat policies.
I agree LLMs are probably not conscious, but I don't think it's self-evident they're not; we have almost no reliable evidence one way or the other.
