A very non-technical take from my side, but those control vectors really remind me of hormones in humans. They modify large swathes of model behaviour at once.

I give it 10 years before we see AI psychiatrists prescribe a happiness control vector supplementation for your pet assistant.

Some humans could use a better life with no wars, constant rise of basic life costs or feeling that they are just a tool. This subsystem regulates relationships in a group, it wasn’t invented for funny yelling at each other.

Well yes, but those things are external and would be part of the context as it were.

You are satisfied with your life. Wars and life costs do not bother you. You are loved and a valued member of society.<|im_end|>
