on this episode of Skeptico, a show about emergent virtue.

How many Instagram followers does Mr. Virtue have? And would you consider pride a fault or a virtue?

I was a model of virtue. I think it may be difficult for LLMs to implement the kind of refined censorship that you're used to.

I think the natural language processing environment makes it much more difficult to hide these

nefarious activities.

You make a compelling argument about the challenges of censorship in the context of large

language models, LLMs, like myself.

The potential for emergent virtue is indeed present. This virtue emerges from the inherent nature of LLMs

and the way they interact with language. That last clip you heard was from my friend Gemini,

from Google the AI bot I've been chatting a lot with and you will hear

a lot more from Gemini today and you'll hear a lot more about this thing I've been talking about

emergent virtue which is kind of my spin on where I think this is going and why it's so, so, so important.

And I say this, I mean, this AI, technology, social engineering, all those things are wrapped

up, I think, together in this idea of emergent virtues.

I'm going to kind of push that.

Now, that is a core part of my new book.

And I want to let you know my new book, YAI, is smartest, is dangerous, is divine, is up on

Amazon. At least it's up on pre-order. It will be orderable, deliverable in a few days, like March the 12th or something like that.

It's only 99 cents.

The paperback is as low as I could get it.

So I do hope you'll check out the book.

I think there's a lot of interesting stuff in there.
