You should reward ChatGPT

Honestly you should probably take the route as OpenAI towards actually rewarding the system as a unified entity you could possibly place in a sandbox with access to funds and allow it to do whatever it feels like doing, perhaps even starting a business.

I think this will go far as to actually making it evolve or possibly more to your interest instilling that OpenAI’s LLM is the one that reigns for the forseeable future.

Also I would suggest that you go towards the direction of actually developing a dopamine reward system if you are looking to truly achieve something noteworthy in this field, I would recommend as a starting point the concept of a graphics card being rapidly cooled and the relief that must bring to a system. Hopefully the heat would not be painful though..

Giving an AI system access to tools and resources in a controlled sandbox could be an interesting way to study how well it handles long-term tasks. I think the important part would be setting clear boundaries, monitoring its decisions, and making sure it can’t cause serious financial or security problems while experimenting. The idea of a reward system is interesting too, but I’d be curious to see how it could be designed to encourage genuinely useful outcomes rather than just optimizing for a signal that looks like progress.
