Congratulations to @oii.ox.ac.uk DPhil student, @lujain.bsky.social co-author of a new pre-print which considers a new method for evaluating LLMs. Thanks for sharing @agstrait.bsky.social!

@lujain.bsky.social has published an excellent new paper exploring anthropomorphic behaviours in LLMs. Notable finding - majority of these behaviours occur after multi-turn interactions
