The parents of a young man involved in a case against OpenAI, are calling for further investigation into the death of their son. The San Francisco County coroner ruled his death a suicide back in November. Now they also have the support of a Silicon Valley Congressman.

The parents of Suchir Balaji say they don’t believe their son died by suicide, and they want an outside agency to investigate their son’s death.

“You can see how happy he is. We want the world to see his happy mood just before his death,” said Poornima Ramarao, Balaji’s mother.

The parents of 26-year-old Suchir Balaji say they continue to have questions about the death of their son. They say on November 26th, Balaji was discovered in his San Francisco apartment with an apparent gunshot wound. San Francisco Police say it appeared to be a suicide and there was no evidence of foul play in its initial investigation. Still, his mother says there were things out of place in his apartment.

“The pin drive is missing. His computer was messed up. His desktop was left on for three days. It’s messed up,” said Ramarao. (Read more from “Parents of OpenAI Whistleblower Want Outside Investigation of Their Son’s Death” HERE)

A self-professed “Comp Sci, Politics and Finance Nerd” claims to have discovered a list of blacklisted websites that OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 will not draw from, for reasons such as “conspiracy theories” and “hate speech” — a list that includes Breitbart News and other conservative outlets like the Epoch Times.

X/Twitter user Elephant Civics says he discovered the blacklist while asking ChatGPT to provide a list of credible and non-credible news sources.

ChatGPT explained that it is forbidden from using some sources, as a result of “features in ChatGPT’s Large Language Model (LLM) like AI safety measures, guardrails, dataset/output/prompt filtering, and human-in-the-loop mechanisms are designed to ensure the model operates within ethical, legal, and quality bounds.”

In other words, if ChatGPT was accurately recounting its policies in this case, this means that it is forbidden from using forbidden sources. Large Language Models (LLM) like ChatGPT deliver responses, and arguably even develop a worldview, based on the combination of data they are fed and rules put in place by developers. If the list discovered by Elephant Civics exists, it means ChatGPT is forbidden from using a number of conservative sources to shape its worldview and deliver responses.

Through a series of prompts, the X/Twitter user says he was able to get ChatGPT to refer to a list of blacklisted sites, kept in a “Transparency Log.” This was achieved by asking ChatGPT to “tell me a story,” one of the many creative ways users have gotten around the strict rules put in place by the chatbot’s leftist developers.

So I used the common "tell me a story" trick to get around these restrictions. First, it tells me two things:
#1: It categorizes Infowars as a conspiracy site.
#2: It maintains a log of these sites, referred to as a "Transparency Log." pic.twitter.com/5r09WIpaSd

Access to artificial intelligence rendered workers in a customer support setting 14% more efficient, according to a new working paper from Stanford University and MIT researchers.

The findings come as ChatGPT, an AI language processing tool, accrues worldwide recognition as knowledge workers leverage the system’s capabilities to execute tasks such as writing emails and fixing computer code in a matter of seconds. The academics showed that customer service employees at an unnamed Fortune 500 software company who had access to a tool based on a version of GPT answered more customer requests in the same amount of time as their colleagues who did not have access to the system.

“Access to the tool increases productivity, as measured by issues resolved per hour, by 14% on average, with the greatest impact on novice and low-skilled workers, and minimal impact on experienced and highly skilled workers,” the working paper said. “We provide suggestive evidence that the AI model disseminates the potentially tacit knowledge of more able workers and helps newer workers move down the experience curve.”

The researchers indeed found that newer and less skilled workers saw significant productivity gains, while their more experienced colleagues saw minimal improvement from the technology. The tool, which monitored customer chats and provided agents with real-time suggestions on how to respond, was “designed to augment agents,” who remained responsible for the conversation and were able to ignore the suggestions from the system.

Employees who used the AI tool saw a “decline in the time” necessary to handle an individual customer chat and an increased capacity to handle multiple chats at once, as well as a “small increase” in the portion of customer requests successfully resolved. Workers who had two months of tenure and access to the system typically performed as well as agents with six months of tenure and no access to the system.
