So normally

named in a gatehouse.

Yes.

That sounds very ominous.

The arena also sounds dangerous.

I think it might be an arena like the one we just came from.

I mean, I did have some success in that arena.

So maybe if we go there, I can do my arena tour of the Black Fortress.

What if you eat the pie and only see the contract then?

Well, it depends on how hungry you are.

Sometimes if you eat half the pie and see the contract...

Then you're like, ah, right, well, this is a contract pie.

If you eat the full pie, if you're so hungry that you forget or eat it in one big bite, then you see the contract.

oh my gosh

wow what a what a night huh what a night uh and i go to the first uh first gnome i see and it's like uh you over there in the in the red hat uh what's your name chris pontynome chris pine all right great name great uh uh what do you do for a living uh chris i'm a prank gnome You're a prank gnome! Alright, uh, yeah, couldn't get any good jobs? Yeah, you got me! Ah, you see, yeah.

How about you, behind him in the green dress? What's your name? Ryan Dunn Gnome.

So do you think in principle we can fight against SGD and make this successful?

Yes.

I think it will be hard.

I think it will be like a combination of a new science and a new engineering discipline.

Like we don't understand in any, we don't understand in the depth that's necessary.

like how models represent, how they learn, and that sort of thing.

And without that kind of understanding, I think we're going to be jerry-rigging stuff all the time.

Yes, that's right.

Lachmore Castellani are into a quarterfinal after a narrow enough victory over Upper Church.

Yeah, I suppose probably just shaded most of like the key key thing was probably in the rarely in a game like that the key the key key moment was probably in the second minute when one of connell got forward and got and got a goal two games in a row now he scored goals like but um like not more because they didn't really push forwards like that's really that was the difference i felt in their in their match against grange walkford they really stamped their authority on it from the off and here they had the chance to do the same thing but strangely kind of sat back a bit, and you know, you don't invite upper church footballers on you, or hurlers either for that matter, and sort of then just, it developed into a bit of a slugfest then, like, and stops there to be the old tetanus crept into it with seven nil of cards in the first half, and the unusual situation of the referee calling the two captains together at halftime to have a chinwag with them, and words didn't seem to get through because after 10 seconds there was an 8 yellow card but it stopped after that then and there was a bit of football but then you see the football games I suppose nowadays get a bit more exciting coming down the stretch because like the end is in sight and like you know the consequences of the result I mean it was a winner take all although a draw would have done a lot more but you don't try and play for draws in football matches but No, it wasn't something that you would, you know, you'd be glued to your seat looking at it or anything like that.

You'd be squirming, like, really, because you didn't know what was going to happen next.

But, no, officers probably will rue their kick six wide in the first half.

And that probably, that cost them in the finish.

Because an unusual stat is that they actually had more shots at the target over the hour than Lachmore Castagne.

but Lachmore has only scored the majority of theirs and Overture didn't and I suppose that's what the game is about is who takes their chances but no not very inspiring stuff as you can gauge

The upper

Louis, you had one job.

I actually had five.

There was the lawyer, there was the Harlem Gnome Trotters, and there was three more, which may come up later.

I'll tell you later if we can get out of this gravy.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God.

That was a whole bit last session.

It went on for way too long.

Okay, what are you thinking here? Fronds, bucket, shoes, or

frog? Okay, well, I'm still trying to wipe the pie off my eye, so I'm just going to roll the dice on this one.

What? What? That's

the

fronds, isn't it? The...

I am Jessie Simon, and I have been Xanax Moonbeam.

I have been Tom McGrath, and I have been Louis Smallhouse.

The dungeon was mastered by Alex Garrick-Wright.

And Ba- Grangemouth really are struggling at this stage.

Yeah, I suppose, um, just talking to, talking to Charlie after the match, like they're, they're a good few of the players that they, they won the, they won the Intermediate County final two years ago.

Um, they're missing them for one reason or another.

A couple of lads have retired, a couple of lads have, have emigrated or, well, traveling I suppose is, is a more, uh, is a better word now, I suppose.

And then they have an odd injury or two as well.

So when you add them up and, you know, to be fair, Grangemouth are like a lot of the clubs, resources wouldn't be the thickest on the ground.

And when you take, um, a cut off the, some of, some of the lads at the top and the more experienced level, it c- it can, it, it, it, there's no getting about it, it impacts ser- seriously on the team, and morale then takes a bit of a buffeting as well, like, so.

But w- did you see something about, in Loughmoore's performance against Grangemouth that probably gives you some confidence for the going deep and, and into the latter stages of the championship?

Like, like what, what is discovering and, and sort of articulating the multidimensionality, the manifold nature of concepts within a model, what does that let you do?

A few things.

Like, one is just the basic science.

Like, we're building these things.

I feel like we should understand how they work.

Um, it feels kind of wrong that we don't.

Uh, that's just sort of, you know, as a scientist.

Thank you for the plug [laughs].

They said they were fans.

Well, uh, n- no one's tried to kill me, and I, as we know, played for the Harlem Gnometrotters, and I've met plenty of fans.

Doesn't mean they all wanna kill me.

Isn't that why you're wanted in the first place, for stealing?

I, I may, I may have come to terms with the fact that I did steal those pies, but now I'm wondering probably maybe not.

Probably they were, they were, uh, just laid out there for anyone to take.

If you are new to our quest, head to the start of this adventure, Episode 5.1: The Mystery Crate.

Louie Smallhouse here with a recap on last week's episode of Hail Chaos.

We tried to put the old orc wizard on trial.

Me, being a stunning lawyer, did very well.

Uh, but he went off the script and tried to kill Bloodbucket with magic.

And then the man in the wide-brimmed hat's sorcerer showed up, knew who we were, and then I messed up with an Orb of Pondering or something, saw a vision of the man in the wide-brimmed hat, and he looked at me back.

Uh, we ran, um, found ourselves with a load of orc ladies.

If, if we had more time, boy, would we have a therapy session right now, but we really have to run.

In terms of quality, in terms of the field, the team they put on the field, they are, they are potential semifinalists.

Yeah.

Well, no doubt about that, but, like, there's an awful lot being made, particularly at intercounty level, and that mirror, that's mirrored in the, in the club scene too.

Um, goalkeeper, Evan Comerford, great, great, great kick, distance, short, accurate.

He'll, he'll, you know, he'll, he'll put the ball in the sixes for lads.

And, and then now he has fellas that are capable of winning the aerial balls, so his link comes into play.

So no, I think, I think Kilkea are a, are a team, are a force to be reckoned with this year.

How important is it for the town of Thurles to have a senior football team, and, and how important is it for the parish of Ballina to perhaps, you know, I don't know how strictly the parish rule is adhered to up there, but fair enough, fellas get an opportunity up there to play senior football.

planning to kill me.

Lord Bloodbucket, if I may, I may just be a humble, small-town gnome.

The star player of the Harlem Gnome Trotters.

But I think...

You know what? I don't think.

Let's run! And then, like, I run away.

I'm running out the

door.

That's an episode title.

So we're going to try and get you a good sort of out, if you will.

Because let's face it, your magic isn't what it used to be.

We're going to try and get you off on technicality and also... confiscate some of these magic items because you know Lord Ashheart.

You don't want to be out on your own knowing that Lord Ashheart or whatever is out looking for these magical items that you've still got.

Right,

yeah, yeah.

So that means they won't kill you.

What's your guess? Okay.

Can...

So, if...

If you...

Forgive me here, but, like, can you get all the letters from the password, put them on little boxes, and then put them up on a little thing for me?

that has ever left villages crushed underfoot, that has ever left forests burned to the ground for his mere whim.

So, if I were to state, Lord Ashheart and the man in the white-brimmed hat were the same person, would you strongly disagree? Disagree.

Neutral.

Tell you what, why don't you hold onto that shield and dagger for now, and, uh, uh, we don't have to think about it much further.

I once knew a guy called Stabby Myface, and he lived a life not...

He didn't even, like, cut anything with a knife.

Like, he didn't wanna stab anything, and because he thought it would be too obvious.

[laughs]

And so when he was walking down the street, he...

Running, running, sorry, with a pair of scissors down the street, he was assaulted by four orcs-

You knew Gorge was just going to disappear?

Yeah.

That's why I said, like, we should have fun on the assault course.

Like, show them a good time.

They're not gonna last very long.

Yes, but they may have bequeathed that pebble to someone.

Using a lot of big words.

The least we can do is carry on Gorch's legacy and memory with the pebble.

and this this guy is standing just before the jump like unable to put his foot on it just looking around track workout how he's gonna get across what would you like to do i'm

gonna i'm gonna throw the switch at the guy

well lads it looks like we have a bridge to cross

Yeah.

You know, Xanax, I don't understand why you didn't just teleport over the obstacle course.

Like, I've seen you do it loads of times and just...

Here it is, with the examples that should give you pause.

So the basic idea here is that you can take your data set and you can push the whole thing through the model.

And each time you put a datum into the model, you'll see what lights up.

And this will sort of tell you how the model sees your data set.

Now, there's lots of things you can do with that.

The specific thing that we're doing with that in this case is we're looking at preference data.

And the nice thing about preference data is that you have pairs of responses.

Prakash found a fork in it that nobody else was flagging.

Starting from that baseline, What are we doing now that's new? Yes.

So the basic process, you got the image up.

That's great.

The basic process here is we take a model and we add some interpretability tool.

In this case, we use a sparse autoencoder.

We've got some new exciting techniques, like take us to these geometric shapes.

We kind of were developing that in parallel with this technique, so we didn't get a chance to use it here.

So what, yeah, what is the mechanism from the time you like run through, get your activations to then, you know, surfacing insights and how does it compare to kind of that, you know, very poor man's naive approach?

It, it's starting to feel urgent to me.

Yeah.

I totally agree with that.

Like, (laughs) I don't have very much to say on the, like, on the, on the sort of safety, the sort of AGI safety side of things.

I totally agree with that.

Models are getting powerful.

People are gonna use them.

(smacks lips)

(laughs)

...

I think Oliver has his own flavor of, uh, Oliverisms that he's come up with as well, and he likes to use that he would probably love to share with you as well.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Thanks a million, Scott.

Thanks a million.
