…no self awareness. No, it isn't. Look at the absolutely trivial code used to simulate war: https://github.com/kennethpayne01/project_kahn_public/blob/m... Having LLMs play nonsense toy simulations like this tells us very, very little about…

> https://github.com/kennethpayne01/project_kahn_public Look at the code for the war games. It is an absolutely trivial and incredibly unrealistic handwritten set of rules that determine power. See the function…

It's probably because they care more about the headline than figuring anything out: https://github.com/kennethpayne01/project_kahn_public/issues... So you create leading prompts like that, and re-run until you get a publishable session.

…to understand whether it's being "pushed" in a certain direction. The full source code is here: https://github.com/kennethpayne01/project_kahn_public/tree/m... Key notes from what I could gather from the LLM prompts: The game is framed…

The games are on github ( https://github.com/kennethpayne01/project_kahn_public/blob/m... ) which might give better context as to how the simulation was run. Based on the code the LLMs only have a rough idea of the rules of the game. For…
