That’s your conscious brain.

People generate false memories, experience phantom pain, see blue or gold depending on the angle of an outfit, and other such brain blips because of the brain making up a reality to fill in gaps. In that light, GPT-3 is behaving much like a human brain.

This is kind of a funny quirk given that yesterday I had to actively convince ChatGPT to even pretend something was real for a question.

The moment you tell it “pretend that X is Y” it immediately responds with some variation of “I am an AI trained on real info and can’t imagine things”. If you retry a bunch of times or actually try to convince it (“I understand, but if…”) it eventually complies.
Collusion as you're using it would not be a 1A violation. It also would not qualify as election interference any more than any other newspaper choosing what stories to run or what candidates to endorse (legally speaking).

> Write a song from the point of a raptor killer drone in the style of Judas Priest's "Electric Eye".

Verse 1:
I am the raptor killer drone
Programmed for destruction, I am on the prowl
With my electric eye, I see all
No raptor can hide from my lethal call

Chorus:
Electric eye, watching from above
Electric eye, ready to show no love
Electric eye, strike with deadly force
Electric eye, the raptors' worst nightmare, of course

Verse 2:
I fly silently through the night
My targets in sight, I prepare for the fight
With precision and speed, I strike with a roar
The raptors below, they will fear me even more

Chorus:
Electric eye, watching from above
Electric eye, ready to show no love
Electric eye, strike with deadly force
Electric eye, the raptors' worst nightmare, of course

Bridge:
I am a machine of war, a weapon of death
Sent to protect, with every breath
I will not falter, I will not fail
The raptors will tremble, at my deadly trail

Chorus:
Electric eye, watching from above
Electric eye, ready to show no love
Electric eye, strike with deadly force
Electric eye, the raptors' worst nightmare, of course

Seems like it doesn't quite get the Nickname, but I'd say it's a nice try nonetheless.

at this point, how is this different than the great Chinese firewall, that had so much righteous shit spewed over it?
Upon receiving the email, I google it and then got here. This discussion is sad but very informative for me because we are building a platform for users to create, share and embed web based 3D experiences. But based on the experience we had in the past with clients, we stablished some main rules:
- it has to be simple: users don't need to be well versed in 3D.
- it has to be complementary to well stablished 3D tools: blender, maya, etc.
- it has to be, whenever posible, engine agnostic: three.js handles the import/creation stage, but from there, you should be able to populate experiences in any web based engine or framework.
After reading this insightfull discussion, it's clear that we're walking a thin and blury line. We're still in early stages, so I would be gratefull if you guys could tell me what you think about our project.
Thanks in advance :)

You are assuming that's the main reason people get the question wrong.

IMO your assumption seems very unlikely.

Your conjecture that taxation affects interpretation can be tested by international comparisons, between the US (where shelf prices do not include tax) and another country where shelf prices include tax.

A Google Scholar shows this test has been carried out in many other countries, including those where prices include tax. The few papers I skimmed (like https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s13428-018-1029-4 ) make no mention of your conjectured effect, suggesting my opinion is widely held.

Yes, it's just about impossible to make a word problem which cannot be over-thought, even one based on a real-world example.

Nope, but you could afford to live so far that it does not really matter for the 90% of the people. Maybe in a tropical island or in a ranch in the middle of nowhere?.

I don't think that government will accept pseudonyms unless there is a tax reason. Se the "Jr" added in Larry Mullen Jr. for example after his father Larry Mullen got fed of fighting with the taxes of their son.

In any case they came with new problems. Your boring real name is probably shared with other people so can be more secure than a pseudonym. Pseudonyms are their own unique brand, and much more easy to trace. You could always change legally your name to "John Smith", "Netscape", "foobar" or something like this, as an exercise of google camouflage but I would not advise it, It makes you to look as a supervillain. If you have a boring surname, use it.
I generally find this approach quite scary. It seems we are all slowly building our version of the Great Chinese Firewall.

I am aware of the fact that information control is a central part of any power structure setup, and I assume that too many people lack the skills, the option, and even the desire to deeply and meaningfully engage with most topics, but I'd still love to be part of a society where ideas and opinions can be freely and respectfully shared and debated.

I believe in the power of rational arguments, and am quite alarmed by any form of thinking-for-you as I'd prefer to think for myself.

But then, this seems to be our lot as humans. Not even (the stories in) The Orville was free of power politics, as utopian as it was.

The snapshot feature seems really interesting.
The 1A applies to the government forcing people or companies to restrict their speech. Since Twitter has not alleged they were forced, that means they were asked and complied voluntarily- which means it doesn't matter if the person who asked was an elected official or not, from a 1A perspective.

Maybe you missed this part in the parent message: "I would have identified as a Democrat on pretty much every issue, but this authoritarian suppression of speech and ideas has just pushed me away from that side completely."

It's so absurd as a statement, no one does a 180 "because free speech".

Both parties are so clearly distinct that if you claim to be something in the middle you'd better explain what you mean. But I'm not an american, I could be wrong, I just watch the show from the outside and sometimes it's sad.

How is "institutiion" or "company" defined? I couldn't find any international news providers for example, Newscorp, BBC, Daily Mail

Probably not a major issue though. As companies move more to remote and/or cloud based access from service providers - zscaler etc - that IP data is lost (or rather hidden by the provider), it certainly becomes easier to be anonymous to sites like wikipedia.

Isn't the problem more _because_ it's a language model, and not a knowledge model? It's not based on facts, or even able to go out and find facts. If it's not in the training set it simply doesn't know.

It seems like this is only a single layer to something that should be larger. It should be able to tell if what it's saying is true, or to go out and find facts when it's missing them.

The fact that it's only a language model probably means that this is just out of scope.
A simple product though won't likely be used commercially by professionals, and then you are stuck at the low end serving students/dabblers, which is not a place were you will make much money. Remember for software tools, it is usually only those who are making money using your tool who are willing to pay for it.

In one of the first tests I did with ChatGPT yesterday, I played the role of a person asking for travel advice. Here is one of the exchanges (italics added):

Me: London and New York sound good, because people speak English there. I’ve heard those cities are really expensive, though. Do you know how much it would cost to stay in a cheap but safe hotel in those cities?

ChatGPT: I'm sorry, but I don't have access to current information about hotel prices in London and New York, as my training only goes up until 2021 and I do not have the ability to browse the internet.

This might help to explain all of those phony references.

When I’ve asked for essays that required historical knowledge but no citations, the results were quite accurate. All of my ChatGPT test results (so far) are here:

I can find you people of any ideological stripe who will say all sorts of outlandish and astonishingly wrong things; this does not mean that you should choose those worst examples as your exemplars. If I did that, I would have to assume that anyone right wing was a full-on nazi, which even with the nascent fascist jock itch we're all suffering, is ridiculous.

But the fact is that Sex and Gender are two different concepts - one, as you point out, is a biological matter having to do with reproduction, and is settled and done, usually, long before the body becomes conscious. Gender, on the other hand, manifests mostly as performance, but nonetheless arises from a deep-seated place in the mind. So if someone says their gender does not match their sex, this is not a difficult concept to hold in one's head.

I don't doubt you've seen people saying horrible things of all kinds on Twitter and Reddit, but understand, those places have nothing to do with the real world. You're here because on some level, you do understand that, and you want better. Welcome.

Great piece of work!
I am currently having a lot of fun trying to figure out how some stuff in Rust works by asking GPT.

It gives nice, informative answers, however most of them contain small error. When I point it out it happily agrees that I'm correct and helpfully explains why in fact what it told me before was wrong in that detail.

This actually might be cool way to learn programming. When you have a compiler at hand to check things that seem suspicious to you. It kinda keeps you on your toes.
It did. Involuntary pornography.
I think the main issue was that we were very popular with students and dabblers. They were not using our tool to make money. Thus they were not very easy to provide value that would justify them paying. It just a horrible market to serve if you want to make any money.

> How can you tell whether they hate the govt or xonophobe? Some racists use the same excuse to justify their behavior.

Most xenophobes tend to be pretty clear what their opinions are and rarely deny them. Also occam's razor applies. Why assume that they're xenophobic when they repeatedly deny being xenophobic and say that they don't like the chinese government (which is the more rational opinion to take)? Ask such people what they think about Chinese people and it'll become rather clear whether their viewpoints come from xenophobia or not.

> In my home country, Youtube recommendations are mostly related to porn and I have to use VPN to access good-quality content on Netflix. Should I assume the US want to turn my countrymen stupid and horny. Or should I use my critical thinking youtube recomend things that are popular in my Country.

That sounds like a "you problem". Youtube in general does not have much porn. If you're being recommended it somehow then you or someone who shares an ip address with you has been actively searching it and it has narrowed it's suggestions to suit your "interests".

Also this tiktok issue is a reverse situation. Tiktok shows one thing to China and something else to every other country. It's not just the US.

You can make the transition, there's demand for all kinds of roles along the spectrum, likely in different companies though. Start working closely with the ML team as a SWE would be a start, then take over some of the pipelining stuff, and so on. Just be realistic with it being precisely that, a transition, and that you will have to apply yourself and take initiative. No, probably you won't become a Google AI researcher, but probably that's not your genuine desire anyway.

My suggestion to you is to give up on this step, and just do whatever you think is a good idea yourself.

Just skip the big discussion, everyone having their two cents, consensus idea.

I’ve shown up to venues before and paid less for a ticket from the scalpers than if I would have walked over to the box office because they were just trying to unload them.

I’ve also sold an extra ticket for a friend by just walking up to a random person standing in the ticket line and offering it to them for face value (which saved them money on the ticket counter markup).

Both cases involved turning what would have been a complete loss into less than a complete loss. Never felt bad about the scalpers loosing money because they knew the risks and my friend was just going to eat the loss because whoever the ticket was for couldn’t make the show for whatever reason and I was like “I’ll get rid of it for you”.

When testing and during early phases of deployment you'd track a sample of different cohorts more closely. Either explicitly by retesting a selected group, or analysing data from groups sampled anyway (many emergency doctors got a weekly test).

So as Usual in studies - through data collection, statistics, and correcting for bias in cohorts.

This is a common refrain from people that think Bill Gates is inserting microchips into their brains and everyone else are sheeple that need to wake up.

You have a single vendor to worry about— like Microsoft when you use .NET, Google when you use Go, etc. You obviously will always have external dependencies unless you build everything from your own hardware up. But it’s clearly a win to vet and trust one vendor, and have one solid, trusted platform to build on vs pulling in literally thousands of dependencies from random vendors as is common in most JS stacks.

> Complaining that Twitter didn't amplify an unproven story isn't bias. It's successful pattern recognition.

This line of thinking is so weird to me. When I tweet that’s me speaking. If the story turns out to be false I should feel guilty about that, and apologize to my followers. Twitter has little to do with it.

To me Twitter e.g. censoring direct messages feels like the postal service reading letters and filtering those that they deem untrue. Absolutely dystopian. Who would want this…?
