alt Hacker NewsNo, newer models talk to themselves in this degenerated form of English all the time. It's a known problem that deep frying transformers with RL reduces CoT legibility, and the only known way around it is the Most Forbidden Technique - grading chains of thought.

There's Most Forbiddenish and there's Most Forbiddener. We already apply length penalties to CoT in RL, for instance.
Sometimes I worry that the framing around CoT grading prevents research into necessary and useful safety techniques that edge up against it, but what do I know I'm just a guy, c'mon n downvote me LW bros
Do you know where can I learn more about this known "deep frying" issue?
