EXCLUSIVE: ChatGPT Responds to Noam Chomsky

“It’s ironic that this person - who doesn’t follow me, who I’ve never met, and who is not actively researching in this field - would react so strongly and try to put moral responsibility for 200,000 deaths on my hands. It was this reaction that tipped me off to “

Nowadays I trust YT more than any doctor around.

I find doctors on YT more credible actually. Because they actually serve their viewers, actually addressing their particular conditions, explaing in details. As well as those who fixed their own problems after long struggle.

When you watch enough (this mean enough to make you feel older) to understand who you watch, compare opposite views enough and didn't stick to any pharma fakes you find knowledge worth more than efforts put.

And later you actually learn reading technical research yourself and differentiating epidemiological crap from actual sound knowledge.

If you even aren't sure if you get it completely ( and you obviously should not be sure) thats your starting point to find people (it's plural) who actually understand it.

That's how you scale up your way to truth.
Or to a cult if you stop too early, you probably shouldn't ever stop, we learn whole life.

All for free, except your time.
That's the world we live in now.
What a beautiful world it would be without all imposed intermediaries payed for wasting our time and keeping us sick.

But you learn, so you save on drugs, funding incompetent "experts" and probably premature death.

And then you save your family and get mentally and physically healthier children (except if you stop at becoming vegan, then it's opposite of that, and probably you end up in hell, for sure should)
Yeah, so we used it and built some custom solutions at Stitch Fix. Reach out to my co-founder Stefan (also in YC '23) -- he'll have some insight for you.
I'm not that cynical. They could just drop E2EE from their product and call it a day. It wouldn't make much of a difference for them.
One of the great things about Second is that uses GitHub as the handoff of code between bot to human. This means you can run your own CI against the code changes that the bot generates, triggered by GitHub actions.
ChatGPT will out and out make up products that don't exist, pricing that isn't based on anything, and reviews and evaluations that never happened. Similarly, it will rely on programming behaviors and even libraries and functions that are hallucinated.
Yes! I don't care if it doesn't type as well as mechanical or rubber keyboard. The cool factor is enough for me to buy one!
That doesn’t sound right either, what’s the difference in acceleration for an apple in atmosphere vs an apple in vacuum over 4ft of drop?
Switching to a tented split keyboard (UHK v1) effectively saved my productivity from a really bad case of forearm tendonitis a couple of years ago. Was still typing with coldpacks on my wrists, but it was doable in a way continuing on the laptop keyboard every day all day was not.

We have an FAQ about Operators here: https://github.com/cloud-ark/kubeplus/blob/master/Operator-F...

It should be helpful if you are new to the Operator concept.

Operators are generally useful for handling domain-specific actions - for example, performing database backups, installing plugins on Moodle/Wordpress, etc. If you are looking for application deployment then a Helm chart should be sufficient.
are your friends using Pro? or is the free version still sufficient?
Scala is not cool in any way, shape or form. It’s an unsuccessful, niche language, that has implemented probably every possible feature ever done in a programming language, including some really backwards ones (like putting XML in the middle of your code). Having all those features makes Scala harder to learn and understand. Programming language features aren’t “stolen”, since they aren’t really “owned” by any given language.
How did you get ChatGPT to reflect on the content of that article?
Roughly half the people alive today exist because of cheap energy. If you take that away, it will be more than inconvenient.
"What's the best market to buy X" often doesn't change every year, but can be very hard to learn due to SEO and ads that it is relatively unaffected by.

Will they stop screwing around and actually release Bing Ai to the masses?, or do they want to keep the hype train going for as long as possible?
An unrealistic number of fingers, that's for sure.
I agree. I think if it continues to grow it will pay dividends back in development hours saved.
I've found it particularly good at translating from one language to another. It will even recognize limitations and dependencies. For example, I asked it to translate some Javascript code (with a UI) into Julia. It said something to the effect of "You can't manipulate the DOM directly in Julia, but we can use GTK.jl to create a GUI". The resulting code needed some work (I'd be surprised if it didn't) but for the most part the structure was there and it provided a pretty decent frame on which to build.
>I found this contribution substantive and thought provoking and almost missed sseing it because it had been unfairly flagged.

You found it agreeable, let's be honest. Someone that characterizes a response as "LMMAAAOOOO" isn't really adding anything to a discussion.
Yeah, that’s very similar. Thanks for the link.

It’s got the difference though that they are using (mostly) strings to write the method bodies and my approach builds those up with the lispy DSL. The class/method/field definitions are basically the same. (ferocity contains three languages, one of expression trees, one of class definitions, another of compound statements that doesn't exist yet)

Mine can also run ‘lispy Java’ in an interpreted mode (as well as writing code that goes through javac) and I discovered the interpreter has a type system which is a little richer than the Java type system, namely I discovered (not invented) ‘quote’ and ‘eval’ so that expressions are a first class data type that can be manipulated…. I have to define some set of operators to make it easy to traverse and work on expressions which would make it easy to metaprogramming, probably taking back some of the verbosity that comes with the lispy java-in-java embedding.
It's not the same. The medical profession is highly credentialized and regulated with several moats giving them insane bargaining power on who gets to decide what.

Pretty sure radiologists have their jobs secured for life regardless of the progress of AI image recognition. At least in Europe.

Most likely AI will be used as a tool, but the radiologist will have to sign off on the final verdict/diagnosis.
Great way to break down responses. I always dislike seeing B in the wild.

I feel like I often see it in more "doomer" communities or users.

A Tribute to OpenSOC
How do you know I understand X and Y and not just apply some mechanistic rules for producing this text? Even in the Chinese Room, to make it reasonably efficient, you'd need some shortcuts, some organization, some algorithm to do it. How is that different from some kind of understanding?
Then in other words I wish Chomsky's Op Ed to the public nipped off the low hanging fruit of unjustified, thoughtless nonsequiturs. There's value in that.

The number of people who understand Chomsky's argument is not very many in the world. I think the reason is because a computational background is necessary. To the extent that an Op Ed is a great opportunity to educate people, he could've had the article especially the first part written so that more regular people could find the argument accessible. And yes that means anticipating typical objections even if you or I mind find them superficial or wrong.
Fun technical challenge that many people will be grateful for.
I feel like saying the human mind doesn't operate on huge amounts of data is somewhat misleading - every waking moment of our lives we are consuming quite a large stream of data. If you put a human in a box and only gave it the training data chatGPT gets I dont think you'd get a functional human out of it.
There are people who literally had pet rocks.

Humans can project feelings onto cars never mind something that can communicate with us!

Just look at Replika.

I'm not surprised people are projecting sentience onto these things. I am worried about the fall out though.

Yes, most books are crap. But Sturgeon's Law is a thing, so that should not be surprising. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law

It took me years to get past the first 100 pages of both Dune and Stars in my Pocket like Grains of Sand but once I did, both turned out to be excellent. The only reason I kept trying is that I'd heard they were both good and I couldn't figure out what I was missing until I found it.

IME, the only way to know if you're likely to enjoy a book is if it's recommended by someone who knows your taste very well. Or if you have a favorite author. Other than that, it's a crapshoot. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you waste a few hours.

One of the nice things about brick & mortar bookstores and libraries is being able to browse around until you find something good.
That's basically exactly what is happening, What's app just hides if from you. But you can verify each others keys in Whatsapp.

If you use Signal, you can do it basically. Same for Matrix.

Its just that these systems try to make it so people don't have to know anything about this to use it securely.
What prevents you from ALSO having glibc?
However, to be fair to Lemoine, we don't know whether Lamda is just an LLM like GPT or something else, it might have been a different architecture, which actually could learn from human conversations, and have experience, thus gain consciousness.
I might have to borrow that! Very clever
Agree 100%! I need to make a new video that shows pulling down the code locally, compiling, and running. I also want to create a temp hosting service so people can run the code as well to see what they are getting.

Lol about music - I get it! I'll tone it down next time. Fun fact – the first version of the song was actually more energetic! I'll fix this. Maybe some lo-fi.
This paragraph addresses that question:

The human mind is not, like ChatGPT and its ilk, a lumbering statistical engine for pattern matching, gorging on hundreds of terabytes of data and extrapolating the most likely conversational response or most probable answer to a scientific question. On the contrary, the human mind is a surprisingly efficient and even elegant system that operates with small amounts of information; it seeks not to infer brute correlations among data points but to create explanations.

It is not. Heating and cooking with wood is absolutely deadly, particularly because by definition it’s done, on average, by the poorest households in structures without proper ventilation.
I wonder about the parallax effect, since the display is a significant distance from the key tops. You can kinda see it in the short typing demonstration a third down the page. Though I never liked self-illuminating keyboards anyway.
For is interesting because as an employee I can see different job dynamics being played out and learn from that for the next position.

For instance: this is a big topic for folks that wants to join late stage scale-ups because since they are issuing RSUs instead options to be attractive for future employees it comes with a very risky dynamic that is the company let those RSUs expire, or worse: folks overhang in some financial obligations in some not liquid instrument.
I'm not a SME on modeling, but it's a profession in which women (and men too) have been traditionally exploited. It may not be a bad thing for it to go away.

For those who think they've got nothing to hide:

Your bank communications are encrypted, why not also protect your conversations with friends family and others? You never know when you or they might need to share things you wouldn't want used as blackmail (information ransom).
Have you ever been tempted to build a giant cyberpunk style magnifying glass into the computer to make the screen bigger?
What "indefinite license"? They can, and do, take content off at any time...
But I think nobody is arguing that all of it should be illegal, but there is a big difference between legality and whats socially acceptable.

That's often conflated, and actually the point I have been trying to make; you can say a lot of wild stuff legally, but you can not expect others to just accept it, not react to it, and not change their opinion of you.

There are also things that should be illegal, as example do you think death treats are fine? Or is that what you are referring to in my comment?
Eventually, yes.

But somehow regulations will also rise that will require a very crude and explicit marking of what is genuinely human/natural from what is computer-generated (with taxes amply applied to it to make up for the performance gap in favor of machines [or rather, machines' owners]).

It's already happening on food labeling (for nutritional & health impact) and many other certification types. Will happen for AIs too, it's just a small matter of time.
Thanks! Let me know if you need anything, always happy to help fellow founders in anyway that I can
Sorry for the click bait title but I posted this because I've been thinking about how much more self-awareness I have now that I am older than I did when I was younger and how many people don't seem to have much self-awareness at all. The article is interesting because it asks questions about how you know if you have self-awareness, which I think is a good thing to ask.
Not a lawyer, but Gandi is based in France, and I don’t think they recognize mandatory arbitration (or choice of law) clauses in consumer contracts there.
In rust moves are just copies that guarantee that no outstanding references to the old location can be held anywhere and thus the compiler is allowed to optimize away the copy. The same thing can be done by C/C++ compilers under some circumstances.
> A model of power consumption by autonomous vehicles predicts that once widely adopted, they will consume as much power worldwide as data centers do.

It's referring to the energy to power the brains of self-driving, not to move the vehicle.

But that seems... fine? I can't tell if the article wants us to think that's a lot.

Data centers and networks account for something like 1% of global electricity use.

If autonomous driving saves a ton of lives then an extra 1% is well worth it. Just from productivity increases alone it may also be well worth it. But also, the "brains" will presumably become more energy-efficient over time (as electronics have generally), and the share of renewables is increasing.

I don't really see a problem here.
Landing Pages should get straight to the point – Webhooks as a Service
Too many landing pages do not communicate what the product is about and instead beat around the bush which is why I made one which looks like this.
Maybe maybe eventually? And perhaps it can be marketed as macropad-like? I'm hopeful but realistically there isn't much of a market for us folk.
Things like art, writing, and modeling have value beyond the output. The value is in the doing, in the communication, in the internalization and practice of skill, and in the social aspect and the parties where the designers come together for Paris fashion week. We still play Chess even though computers can do it better, we should think of doing art, writing, and modeling the same way and continue to value them.
As an industry we have amnesia. Many developers, including programming language designers, are simply unaware of what was done decades ago and thus end up reinventing the wheel.

Before jumping into writing new code we should develop the discipline to start by researching what has been done before in similar domains. Even if the old code isn't reusable we can often apply the same design patterns or at least avoid making the same mistakes.
Well yeah, that's what people mean though. Its the same thing with the visual models where people insist the models are "being creative"
> Surely the joke wasn’t that difficult to understand…

It started as a joke, and then became something that people actually believed.

You can test this out by simply asking progressives if they think that private social media companies should be regulated in what they are allowed to moderate, or if instead they should be allowed to censor or moderate however they want, or is instead "A private company, it can do what it wants!".
Ocean Surface Tipping Point Could Accelerate Climate Change
You could try another experiment: see how responsive the authorities are by doing fake terrorist plotting, laying out all your plans with time-frames, weapons to be used, etc See how long it takes them to discover the plot. Then you can see what communication platforms have been tapped by the intel agencies. Upon arrest, state you were running an experiment.
It's probably more complexity to exclude certain content than to treat everything the same.
I'm in that situation, I've made more money on investing in technology companies than working at them. Unfortunately the skillsets are somewhat orthogonal so I was unable to get a job at Google, but was able to buy in at the IPO.
I wonder if GPT-4’s release was pushed forward to ride the hype that ChatGPT/LLMs have been getting in popular media.

But then again, GPT-3 is almost three years old now, plenty of time to improve upon and train a new model.
Sound great!!! Congratz
Aren't we inherently projecting feelings onto anything that isn't inside our own direct experience? There is no way to confirm any alleged sentience outside of your own "feelings" is not an automaton, including other humans.
The human mind is not a statiatical engine for sure, but most jobs are granulated enough for statiatical engines.
> like laymen are trying to science without getting their hands dirty and while trying to sound fancy. I know that's the wrong take, but I can't get over it.

It's actually the reverse—multiple sciences started out as subfields of philosophy, that got useful enough on their own that they were peeled out into their own thing. It would be more useful to think of as philosophy as a soup of proto-sciences that are developing, that some might prove useful, and some might die out.

That's not really all philosophy is, but at least it's a more historically accurate way to look at it.
The point is that we know many things as facts that we cannot explain. We may be looking for the explanation but, as of yet, we don't know why many things are as they are (as in the example above).

Actually, LLMs are also a good example. We don't know why chatGPT generates apparently cogent text and answers. What we know is that, if we train it this way and do a bunch of optimizations we get a machine that appears to be thinking or, at least, we can have a decent conversation with it. There are many efforts to explain it (I remember reading recently a paper analysing the GPT3 neuron that determines 'an' vs 'a' in English)

Finally, all science is falsifiable by definition, so, what we think we know now may be be disproven tomorrow.
This is missing the point so badly I suspect this comment was generated by AI :D
Great team great product - congratz
Not just property. Imagine the car owner has an emergency and needs to go or transport his family to the hospital. They will have blood on their hands.
This is very true, but regulation/moats can’t stop progress indefinitely, and I think deep down even medical professionals understand this, which is why he reacted the way he did.

I could tell he was personally offended by the fact that some young computer nerd who knows nothing about medicine, can even suggest the idea that his decades worth of experience aren’t as good as a computer program.
I am not missing your point. I am asserting that your point is incorrect. Show me where in a law/regulation where anything like that is stipulated.

IIRC all that is stipulated in the EU regs, for instance, WRT cookies and other tracking tech is the ability to opt-out should be as easy as the ability to opt in, it should not be auto-opt-in, you can opt-out later if you do opt-in, and you should be properly informed about what you are opting into.

The bad UX patterns making it time-consuming, confusing, or otherwise unpleasant, to opt-out are actually against the spirit of the law (perhaps even the letter of the law) but unfortunately it is not proving really practical to enforce.
Yeah, I was making a general point. I used to use Gandi some time ago. I forget why I drifted away from them. I think I only had one domain there, which I then let lapse rather than renewing. Given what I remember of their rep I'm surprised about this news, but I guess that's the constant churn of "creative" destruction. Enjoy the reasonable vendors you've figured out this year, because next year your own reliance will be an asset to be sold and arbitraged away.
End of the abstract from that Swedish study at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01602... :

> Finally, comparisons of trends in cognitive performance and in standing height show that the gains in cognitive performance over the years from 1980 to 1993 occurred in the absence of overall gains in height, which speaks against nutrition as the cause of the Flynn effects.

Thing is, you can point to all sorts of changes. Perhaps it's more screen time, or any other pet peeve.

From my cursory reading of those papers, there's no clear reason for the Flynn effect, nor its (putative) reversal despite lots of correlation studies.
ChatGPT "lies" like crazy, but that's what we asked it to do. It's hard to generate fresh and innovative content without also inventing facts from time to time; it's not too dissimilar from the imaginative play that kids engage in. Kids aren't always overly concerned about sticking to the facts!

ChatGPT lacks an inherent sense of truth. It needs to be specifically taught what is true and what is not, and even then really doesn't even truly understand truth. Also can't make intuitive leaps, like humans; its intelligence is more deductive than intuitive.

Use it for what it's good at. It is a good tool for refining your ideas, but don't expect it to be accurate. As soon as people play with it for a few days, they start to realize when it's lying and when it's not.

(Personally, I tend to hope that it continues to aggressively lie, so that people don't get lulled into a false sense of security. Better to know that AI can confidently lie to you, so that you're not as easily fooled.)
