The Single Value (Wolf) Function and Perspective Collapse

Thanks for the tasty example :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Again:
You’re describing the output, I’m analysing the interaction dynamics that lead there :wink:


The cake metaphor atually highlights my core point in this thread:
It simplifies, but combined with unmarked ambiguity it hides mechanism rather than clarifying them.

The result is:

  • increasing variance, due to underspecified concepts
  • increasing bias, due to a anthropocentric framing

I’m less concerned with finished cake than with why and how it gets baked in the first place :fish_cake_with_swirl: :moon_cake: :shortcake:

Related analysis of bias-variance distortion can be found in my RLHF topic.
