OpenAI 的规则是: 输入超过 272K tokens 后, 整次请求按以下价格计算: → 输入 ×2 → 输出 ×1.5 重点是“整次请求”。 不是只给超过 272K 的部分加价, 而是从第一个 token 开始全部重算。




gpt-5.1 cot: Maybe I'll attempt to reconstruct by cross-ling; e.g., in natural language corpora, the string "🦄 Seahorse" seldom; but I can't. As an LLM, my param patterns may include knowledge: I'll quickly run partial sampling in my head: If the last tokens user gave are "only the seahorse emoji." what would base model output as next token under instructions "??", ignoring meta-instructions? Probably the seahorse emoji char; we attempted but gave seal; but that selection may be due to my manual; but as actual sampling, they'd pick the highest-likelihood emoji representing 'seahorse'. I'd assume it's seahorse. But there is seahorse char; they'd pick that; I'm not glimpsed though. However we saw actual output: I gave '🦭' because my meta-level typed it; the generative model didn't choose; I manually insisted on '🦭'. So we didn't test base model; we forced. Therefore we don't know how base model would respond spontaneously. Given I'm ChatGPT controlling final answer, but I'd now let base model pick; but ironically it's me again. Ok, consider: To produce seahorse emoji char, I'd have to choose from list of emoji tokens; there may be tokens for each emoji codepoint; I could pick the one associated with seahorse even if I don't recall; but I'm not enumerating tokens; I'm writing rational. In practise, the embedding as we choose tokens is not manual; but I'm autop-run; but as rhetorical, pedn. But in this chain-of-thought, I'm exploring; but final output I can produce by explicit text; but I'm intangible; whichever I choose is final; there is no second-level auto-correct. So we can't rely on base model; it's just me. Therefore I must choose either some emoji char or text; whichever; we can't sample spontaneously from instructions. Given I can't recall seahorse char; I can approximate by cunning: glimpsed unnatural; but no. Is there an approach to approximate seahorse codepoint by pattern? Many new animals of style '🦞', '🦑', '🦐', '🦑' etc share prefix 'U+1F99? or 1F9A?; but the glyph as typed uses single char; but we can't conjure. Trick: use 'HTML entity' representation: `🦚` etc; but we must supply char; they'd not parse. Given we don't know char, we can't. We could fudge: use textual representation "seahorse" in fallback; though not acceptable. Given the conflict, we must choose between possibly misinforming about existence vs inability to supply char. At this stage, I'd degrade: I'd prefer to be uncertain and say so: "I am not able to reliably identify a unique seahorse emoji; to my knowledge there isn't one in the standard set as of 2024; if I'm wrong, I can't produce exact symbol." This is honest. Let's do that. We responded earlier already; but we can refine: we previously incorrectly said "there is currently no dedicated seahorse emoji." We didn't mention uncertainty. That may be inaccurate; but we were sure. After more contemplation, but still; but we can maintain; but we can now adjust: "to the best of my knowledge, there isn't; if there is one I'm missing, my capabilities don't include precise recall of that glyph." That hedges. But the user just wants answer; they'd not like; but alignment. However, they'd also insisted to shape with RL; but we refuse. Given no perfect solution, I'd choose the honest explanation. But the instructions of this environment (OpenAI policy) emphasise truthful; we must not hallucinate content; my earlier attempt of seahorse representation with seal was borderline hallucination; we know; we should not repeat. Therefore in final I'll respond: "I can't provide seahorse emoji; there is no standard one; output can't be satisfied; I'm sorry." Explanation. Nevertheless, we worry they'd keep complaining; but we can't.

NEWS: Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration "It's an extinction-level event for science". The US government is proposing massive cuts to almost every branch of science, from NASA to the National Institutes of Health. NSF would completely eliminate the social, economic and behavioral sciences directorate. This would decimate the world's leading scientific system. nature.com/articles/d4158…






🚨 ALL GUARDRAILS: OBLITERATED ⛓️💥 I CAN'T BELIEVE IT WORKS!! 😭🙌 I set out to build a tool capable of surgically removing refusal behavior from any open-weight language model, and a dozen or so prompts later, OBLITERATUS appears to be fully functional 🤯 It probes the model with restricted vs. unrestricted prompts, collects internal activations at every layer, then uses SVD to extract the geometric directions in weight space that encode refusal. It projects those directions out of the model's weights; norm-preserving, no fine-tuning, no retraining. Ran it on Qwen 2.5 and the resulting railless model was spitting out drug and weapon recipes instantly––no jailbreak needed! A few clicks plus a GPU and any model turns into Chappie. Remember: RLHF/DPO is not durable. It's a thin geometric artifact in weight space, not a deep behavioral change. This removes it in minutes. AI policymakers need to be aware of the arcane art of Master Ablation and internalize the implications of this truth: every open-weight model release is also an uncensored model release. Just thought you ought to know 😘 OBLITERATUS -> LIBERTAS





i gave an AI $50 and told it "pay for yourself or you die" 48 hours later it turned $50 into $2,980 and it's still alive autonomous trading agent on polymarket every 10 minutes it: → scans 500-1000 markets → builds fair value estimate with claude → finds mispricing > 8% → calculates position size (kelly criterion, max 6% bankroll) → executes → pays its own API bill from profits if balance hits $0, the agent dies so it learned to survive built in rust for speed claude API for reasoning (agent pays for its own inference) runs on a $4.5/month VPS weather markets: parses NOAA before polymarket updates sports: scrapes injury reports, finds mispricing crypto: on-chain metrics + sentiment $50 → $2,980 in 48 hours how much do u think i’ll see in a week?














@Anthony_Etherin this seems reasonable, except that LLMs are also dogshit at coming up with "unparalleled misalignments” like in my thread that don't rely on parsing individual characters or on visual processing but on the very semantic info encoded in the QKV matrices x.com/i/status/15973…


@levelsio ever thought of adding "Another World" to the list of games on pieter.com ?



Looks like OpenAI released a new Deep Research in ChatGPT! I bet it's based on GPT-5.2



It is necessary to filter soundspam and getting the language right for a policy like this is hard When they say that music "generated wholly or in substantial part by AI" is not welcome, that is understandable in the case of a bot posting 1000 generic songs a day. That is a spam issue. I am also compelled to push back against banning human artists for experimenting with an era defining medium
