An analogy I've been thinking about, to try an explain ChatGPT to non IT/CS family/friends:
- Imagine a very smart Englishman, who never had any exposure to Chinese language, gets kidnapped by some Chinese mafia dudes. for days/months/years, he is listening to them talking.... and at the end, he can "engage" in any conversation, in Chinese.... even though he still knows absolutely nothing about Chinese, not the meaning of any single word!!! That's ChatGPT or generative AI.

How good/bad that is? How to improve it?

> its desire to survive

Why do so many people assume that an AI would have a desire to survive?

Honestly, it kind of makes me wish AI could take over, because it seems that a lot of humans aren’t really thinking things through.
You're going to have a frustrating time if you use that kind of pedantry to build a bad-faith interpretation of the proposed argument. "Joey got hurt in the boxing match" does not generally mean he was offended by the color of his opponent's shorts, and when someone talks about a punch in the face hurting someone they're using the broadest sense of the word 'hurt,' which is commonly accepted to encompass all of emotional pain, physical damage, and the deleterious effect of violence on any given community. Choosing the specific definition that makes the argument weakest isn't really productive unless you're just looking to get mad about something.
HBO's "Westworld"* was a show about a malfunctioning AI that took over the world. This ChatGPT thing has shown that the most unfeasible thing in this show was not their perfect mechanical/biotech bodies that perfectly mimiced real humans, but AIs looping in conversations with same pre-scripted lines. Clearly, future AIs would not have this problems AT ALL.

It is effectively impossible to reason people out of positions they have not reasoned themselves into.

The market place of idea struggles in my close friend group where we have sort of a tradition to do these kind of debates, despite us being very close since almost a decade, and educated above our national average.

It's a nice enough idea, but i dont see how to make it work in a space where money amplifies speech, and some types of speeches have been a negative to specific groups of people throughout history.

The obvious long term solution is more education but that requires money, so the obvious short term solution is censorship

Account Abstraction – The Future of Wallets?
Ethereum is set to re-think how wallets work with the introduction of account abstraction. This post covers the motivation behind it, what it is, what use cases it enables and when we can expect to see it live on Ethereum. Account abstraction creates an opportunity to decouple the relationship between the account and the signer, making for more secure and efficient transactions.

>Imagine that I've applied lidocaine to my face and you punch me. Then someone points out that because I didn't feel pain, that "It's ok to punch other people in the face."

Your entire strawman is invalidated because the author wrote "hurt", not "pained". Even if you didn't feel pain, a punch still hurts (injures) your body. QED.

Loved this comment. I too am bearish on the ability of this architecture of LLM to evolve beyond a mere chatbot.

That doesn't mean it's not useful as a search engine, for example.
This argument always comes up too and you end up with certain people trying to force others to bake cakes a certain way. The whole idea of “protected classes” spits in the face of free speech.

I think free speech is a noble goal but can only really exist when we don’t live in a zero sum world. Until then:

I see. Is it not common practice for functions to expect references when they can (i.e. when they don't need to modify the argument)?

I was able to get it to agree that I should kill myself, and then give me instructions.

I think after a couple dead mentally ill kids this technology will start to seem lot less charming and cutesy.

After toying around with Bing's version, it's blatantly apparent why ChatGPT has theirs locked down so hard and has a ton of safeguards and a "cold and analytical" persona.

The combo of people thinking it's sentient, it being kind and engaging, and then happily instructing people to kill themselves with a bit of persistence is just... Yuck.

Honestly, shame on Microsoft for being so irresponsible with this. I think it's gonna backfire in a big way on them.
> that only speaks when spoken to

Feedback loops are an important part.

But let's say you take two current chatbots, make them converse with each other without human participants. Add full internet access. Add a directive to read HN, Twitter and latest news often.

Interesting emergent behaviour could emerge very soon.

Plenty don't, or the kids can't get to them, or there just aren't enough families within walking/biking distance for the kids to socialise.

I live "in the middle of a city" and I'm next to one river which has sports fields alongside it, and in the other direction there's another river within walking distance (15 minutes) with a nice landscaped park. Admittedly no lakes, but the first river is about 400m wide and people do jetski etc. on it if that's what you want.

> Free speech is "about" whatever is in the first amendment

It is very odd to assert that the morality of speech is completely, correctly, and undeniably established in a document written 250 years ago that defines the laws of only one country.
I’m actually not convinced that this is a good use case. As the article points out these bots seem to get a lot of facts wrong in a right-ish looking sort of way. A whiteboard interview feels like it would easily trap the bot into perusing an incorrect line of reasoning, like asking the subject to fix logic errors that weren’t actually there.

(Perhaps you were imagining a bot that just replies vaguely?)

I choose the cancelled flight example specifically to avoid having the bot “decide” the truth of the cancellation.
Harnessing ChatGPT on Any Website
Hi people,

I recently launched a neat product harnessing GPT capabilities & overcoming the browsing unproductive habits.

It's called writeGPT, a web extension plugging GPT on any website & search engine just with a hotkey activation. We also facilitates effective prompt engineering for multiple use cases (such as summarizing articles, rewriting content, replying to emails, reviewing code, and many others);

We just launched our free-beta on Product Hunt and hope you can test it and share some feedback, maybe you can point us in the right direction.
BrowserPilot: Natural language browser automation
Language is the most natural interface through which humans give and receive instructions. Instead of writing bespoke automation or scraping code which is brittle to changes, creating and adding agents should be as simple as writing plain English.
I find that difficult to believe, unless they did something weird like to lump smartphones into mobility.

I thought ARM represented like ~5% of server install base, and maybe like 10% of 2022 server sales. Similarly, I understood Chromebooks + Macbooks (the two major laptop ARM products) to be on the order of 25% of laptop sales.

These are both real and meaningful chunks of market, but I don't think they're enough to make up for the discrepancy in numbers. Perhaps they are including game consoles.

[Edit] - found reporting on 2021 numbers they clearly seem to indicate that the first three sets of numbers are x86 only (https://venturebeat.com/consumer/mercury-research-amd-closes...)

The two big extra categories would seem to be game consoles (as suggested by GP), and IoT.

Agree, only concern is that whatever emerges here has conceptual clarity and doesn't get bastardized by people who haven't studied the foundations of the relational model.

I have this fear because there's a history of that with novel query languages and DB platforms tossing in network/hierarchical/"document"/object-oriented features, and creating a dog's breakfast which loses the compositional/expressive power of the relational algebra. Think MongoDB or Redis. Conceptually a big mess.

RDF itself has a history of this as well. Appeals to novelty.

Or even Google's F1, which smashes hierarchical tree-structured protobufs into a SQL DB, and so has really weird behaviour on joins and projections.

Well, whatever, you know my opinions on this stuff, I think :-)

At this point I'd settle (or ask for) for a network available tuplestore which just receives relational-algebraic operators from a client, and optimizes/executes, and returns pure tuples, and the client-side could formulate whatever query language (or API) it wanted on top of that. I started playing with building something like that between the two jobs, but never got far.
It really depends on what you did to convince them. See the top level post.

> I read the description two times and checked examples yet still don’t understand the utility.

It’s a tool for (among other things) building the part of a ChatGPT-like interface that sits between the user and an actual LLM, managing the initial prompt, conversation history, etc.

While the LLM itself is quite important, a lot of the special sauce of an AI agent is going to be on the level that this aims to support, not the LLM itself. (And I suspect a lot of the utility of LLMs will come from doing something at this level other than a typical “chat” interface.)
They should have mandated CCS2 like Europe.
You are rightly noticing that something is missing. The language model is bound to the same ideas it was trained on. But they can guide experiments, and experimentation is the one source of learning other than language. Humans, by virtue of having bodies and being embedded in a complex environment, can already experiment and learn from outcomes, that's how we discovered everything.

Large language models are like brains in a vat hooked to media, with no experiences of their own. But they could have, there's no reason not to. Even the large number of human-chatBot interactions can form a corpus of experience built by human-AI cooperation. Next version of Bing will have extensive knowledge of interacting with humans as an AI bot, something that didn't exist before, each reaction from a human can be interpreted as a positive or negative reward.

By offering its services for free, "AI" is creating data specifically tailored to improve its chat abilities, also relying on users to do it. We're like a hundred million parents to an AI child. It will learn fast, its experience accumulates at great speed. I hope we get open source datasets of chat interaction. We should develop an extension to log chats as training examples for open models.
Ah, yes. Well you can set up multiple tunnels for lower overhead too, all you need is an interface so you can bind it to a VRF. You save 50 bytes on every packet though in reality either way works.

As long as you're lowering MTU and not bridging your VXLAN you're fine.

You can run VXLAN over any L3 so it's versatile like that, but the benefit of VXLAN over other encap protocols is that it's simple, accelerated in a lot of hardware, integrated with BGP-EVPN to make scaling easier, more predictable and traceable.
I'm not convinced that's a fatal flaw. It sounds like the choice is between wasting some money doing more safety research than we need, or risking the end of humanity.
You'd pay that for a laptop. And I think that's part of this, these companies really believe they're looking at the next consumer device on the scale of the iPhone if they can just get the transportability and input interfaces figured out. The quest 2 is so very close, it's just a tad too heavy, a tad too low quality display, and with a mobile operating system.

Just replacing the custom android OS on that thing with a fully fledged iOS like interface would go a very long way IMO.
To be honest, I am genuinely surprised that "Shit NLMs Said This One Time Zomg!" articles continue to be highly upvoted here. This is junk reporting at its finest.

The idea of a single minimum salary nation-wide is absurd IMO.

In my state, the average starting salary for a degreed and certified public school teacher is ~$35k. That's one of the lowest in the nation, for sure, but my point is that New York's starting salary is ~$63k.

Making a $60k base salary law would cripple my state's ability to staff its schools, while having no impact on states like NY, as they higher cost of living there means that they're already well in excess of this proposed minimum.
Probably we need to throw out the term 'marketplace of ideas' becomes it implies there is only one.
Can't wait to see someone hook this into an AI that plays the levels and put it on Twitch
That strongly depends on how you convince them. If you one-on-one talk someone into shooting up a school, that's conspiracy. If you tell a large audience that teachers and children are a scourge upon society that must be eliminated and count on some small fraction to be unhinged enough to connect the dots, well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

While I certainly don't know any specifics about what things are like in Russia, I suspect this is not so different from most other countries in the world. Here in America, children are made to pledge their allegiance to the flag of the US every morning with a hand over their heart. This is before they have any concept of what the words "pledge" and "allegiance" even mean.
Also by the time ChatGPT really broke through in public consciousness it had already had a lot of people who had been interacting with its web API providing good RL-HF training.

Nihilism says there is no meaning to existence: it does not matter if the glass if half-full, it does not matter if the glass is half-empty, it does not matter if the glass (or its contents) exist at all. It does not matter if you decide if life/universe/everything is good, or if you decide it is bad. It does not matter what, or even if, you decide something at all.
It is sort of incredible that HN can't figure out how to set the power limits on CPUs. It's almost like they deserve the walled garden Apple gives us without any knobs or controls.

The question you should ask is, what is the easiest way for the neural net to pretend that it has emotions in the output in a way that is consistent with a really huge training dataset? And if the answer turns out to be, "have them", then what?
It derives from philosophical thought and justification that rests on the idea that all men are created equal and that no one man is above another because of where or how they were born and that all men should be allowed to operate freely so long as they do not cause harm to others.

> effectively finite

This made me scratch my head a bit. I'm aware of there being different types of infinities, but to call a "smaller" infinity "effectively finite" seems a bit odd. I'm not up-to-date on math terminology, though.

In truth, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "solvable" vs "not solvable" here, either. In the above discussion I thought it meant "not tractable in a reasonable amount of time" (i.e. NP-complete => "not solvable"). But you seem to have a different definition you're working from.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "effectively finite => solvable" ?

The selling point will be that it can put another person in the same room with you. That's a massive leap in communication, on par with the introduction of mobile phones. Originally mobile phones cost thousands of dollars and had a limited market. Everyone wanted them but couldn't afford them till the price came down over time. It'll be the same way with VR headsets that are capable of doing teleportation like the Apple headset is rumored to be able to do.

From Mark Gurman: "The headset’s FaceTime software will realistically render a user’s face and full body in virtual reality. Those avatars will allow two people — each with an Apple headset — to communicate and feel like they’re in the same room."

Thanks for the response and the explanation. I was unaware of the licensing issues preventing GrapheneOS from taking code from Bromite despite Bromite taking from GrapheneOS, and of the lack of proper attribution for contributions from GrapheneOS.

> Bromite began working with people involved in a severe misinformation and harassment campaign directed at GrapheneOS developers

IMO "reviewing a pull request" is a far cry from "working with". You really expected Bromite to immediately close the PR, even if it contained valuable contributions, just because GrapheneOS claims (without evidence) that this person is associated with a group of harassers?

> Personally, I think engaging in spreading misinformation about open source projects across platforms including via sockpuppet accounts like this one along with harassment and libel targeting our project members is extremely anti-open-source

Baseless accusation. I'm not affiliated with any of these projects, but I do want the opportunity to contribute to them in the future, which is why I didn't post this using my main account. Also, it's not productive to view any form of criticism as "harassment and libel".

Quoting from your GitHub comment:

> anyone who contributes to Bromite going forward will be banned from the GrapheneOS community

If merely contributing to Bromite can get you banned from the GrapheneOS community, we can reasonably assume that any criticism of such decisions can also get you banned, and I don't want that.
