Analysis

This article offers a fascinating perspective on Large Language Model (LLM) development, using Buddhist psychology to analyze the process of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF). By framing RLHF through concepts like "craving" and "aversion," the article provides a unique framework for understanding the potential unintended consequences of safety measures in AI.
