      This really is a great post from @natolambert on ethics, data, and RLHF in tech companies. I wish I could share it with you all, but tweets w links are now demoted. Does this work? Change the ‘x’ to ‘w’, and the - to ‘.’ . xxx-interconnects-ai/p/operationalizing-responsible-rlhf

      I was curious how search engines would perform with this as the query.

      I do not think this is necessarily very telling about the broader capabilities of a search system. But, maybe for some (dealing with mangled URLs) this would be a key value-add.
