jd_pressman on Prime Intellect's hardest-to-please character Caroline
jd_pressman · x · 2026-11-14
jdpressman discusses Caroline from Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect: a distinct kind of person who feels that having a god cheaply satisfy all desires cheapens life and devalues everything she did before Prime Intellect existed. He notes the biggest way LLMs help with such alignment questions is raw grunt work and enumeration — Caroline being the character whose preferences are hardest for Prime Intellect to satisfy.
