Everything is based on deep learning, and the main distinguishing factor is the choice of training data. So, the question is: what is the right data?
Figure 1: Data differentiates alignment from capabilities. Deep learning involves three basic inputs: (1) the architecture (+ loss function), (2) the optimizer, and (3) the training data. Of these, the training data is the main variable that distinguishes alignment from capabilities.Alignment is data engineering. Alignment training data specifies [...]
