For centuries, people have advocated for systems where workers keep the fruits of their labors rather than have them appropriated by those with the ownership. They're called "communists" and "socialists".
I believe it already is. Someone I know pretty closely created an m&p for the team using chatGPT. So right off the bat there is someone's job that is being dictated by AI. Someone is legally obliged (for sake of employment) to follow an m&p generated by AI.
Me too, probably, which is why I specifically mentioned patient consent in my example. I can however imagine other situations where I would be inclined to forgive the doctor, such as if I were in the operating theatre and for some reason there was an urgent need to ascertain something from my history to save my life.

Of course, this is illegal, so the ethics are moot; even if such technology would save my life, there is no way the hospital would accept the liability.
seems you're getting unnecessarily hung up on the "how" of it.

planes fly but not like birds. does it matter from an "object moved from point A to B through the air" point of view? not really.

LLMs are kind of the same. it's obvious from even the most cursory examination that they're doing something quite different to statistical word mashing. is it being achieved in the same way as your gray matter? no.

in a black box sense, does it matter? also no.
Been waiting for this. Super excitingSaid it somewhere else but AI is a feature, not a product in most cases and this is the perfect place for it.
LOL! I think I bought my car (used), and (I at-least want to believe) the Nikon D40x with TexasHoldem Ads. ;-)
Your average person has no idea what an IDE or compiler is. Many more people already know what ChatGPT is right now than will probably ever know what either of those two words mean.
Am I right that it claims a battery life of only 4 hours? Might as well not have a battery at all! I'd take an even less beefy cpu / gpu for a 12 hour battery on a device like this
It definitely implies one of these, and at face value, they're both terrible. A single IP being used somewhere makes sense to go to the ISP and ask "hey who was this IP assigned to at this time?".

It does not make sense that the police should be able to get a warrant for data from every single website in the western world based only on a single IP. But Snowden already proved that PRISM is a thing.

Also why stop at Facebook/Twitter/Discord? Should police also get warrants for AshleyMadison.com, Tryst.link, UnitedNuclear.com, DonateToPoliticalParty.org, INeedAnAbortion.org, etc etc? "Hey did anyone with this IP perform a transaction on your site and can you give us their name?"

The counter for nukes is nobody should have nukes. Anybody trying to build nuclear weapons should be stopped from doing so, because they're obviously one of the most catastrophically dangerous things ever.

At least with ai you can cut the power, for now anyway.

Apologies if I'm missing something, is this discussing the new Bank Term Funding Program or some other guarantee?

(edit: I see the phrasing "fully protected by the FDIC" -- this might be the general idea that depositors won't lose anything, but not literally that FDIC is officially extending insurance, I think?)

Anyway, for the BTFP, I think it is generally available to all banks. Seems to allow borrowing against underwater assets at par value, at roughly 4.6% interest.

FWIW this is similar to Apple's "sparse image bundle" feature, where you can create a disk image that internally is stored in 1MB chunks (the chunk size is probably only customizable via the command line `hdiutil` not the UI). You can encrypt it and put a filesystem on top of it.

I think we vastly underestimate how much bespoke, physical labor and bespoke, tedious engineering goes into the high tech equipment that drives forward innovation.

> No human (*) will forget in such a short problem statement that a vegan wolf cannot be left alone with a cabbage;

Two humans in this thread just read the solution and thought it was correct. Me being one of them.

Another further down in the thread manually wrote up a solution making the exact same mistake.

I think you want things to be different, but they're not. Your answering how you'd think humans would respond, not how people actually respond.

Does it mean everyone made that same mistake? No, but I bet a bunch did.
What Motivates the RAM Model?
Answered in the comment you’re replying to:

“Alternatively, you could run the massive carbon capture plants on solar energy instead of nuclear, and still ship these “completely clean conventionals” worldwide. It would mean building 3x as many plants for the same output since they could only run during bright daylight hours. You could bring this 3x number down by instead building (once again commensurately massive) energy storage plants as an intermediary”
That's another discussion though. The topic at hand is someone who has a country and had an opportunity to work in another country is complaining that they have to go back to their home country because the work visa is not a permanent residence visa.
I imagine this will lead to people speaking foreign languages with bot influences.

It will probably be similar to how people speak when they have a low number of co-speakers. For example, my (Romanian) sister moved to China and has a son now, but since he only talks to her in Romanian, he sometimes uses feminine words when talking about himself since that's now my sister talks.
AI will certainly come up with some jobs for us to enjoy.

It doesn’t matter who writes the laws. It’s on whose behalf they are being written. And that’s already a tiny minority of extremely wealthy people with the power to manipulate public opinion and bribe politicians.
I really admire what you all are doing.

I am building a house and I just spent countless hours obsessing over the best way to approach HVAC. It's a bewildering topic, thick on opinion, heuristic, and wisdom that's of questionable recency.

What I want is almost exactly what you describe. A system that holistically optimizes for upfront cost, operating cost, sustainability, temperature, humidity, room-to-room preference/utilization patterns, exhaust of indoor pollution, filtration of outdoor pollution, and ease of maintenance. In the process, I realized that:

- Most professionals pick equipment that operates on these things independently, and hope for the best, based on experience.

- The ability to comparison shop or get definitive answers on things is very limited.

- All the tax incentives don't seem to offset the upfront cost of the machinery that qualifies for incentives.

- A lot of professionals are not up to date on their knowledge. I love my general contractor dearly...but he's old school and I had to teach him what an HRV was.

After all of that research, I ended up opting for a very conventional ducted gas furnace + A/C, with an HRV.

So you're really speaking my language with what you are describing. Some of the objections people have raised are things I've come across in my own research. But it sounds like you're trying to build something that attacks the whole problem at once, probably understanding that piecemeal solutions will get you stuck having to work within confines of the status quo.

But, if you succeed, you might stake out a novel model, like Tesla or direct-to-consumer insurance. Sounds very risky, but I wish you all the best.
> The complete disregard for intellectual property rights

Those "rights" should not even exist to begin with. Nobody is interested in bending over backwards just to appease a bunch of aging monopolists. We want to explore the full potential of technology, not see it crippled by artificial limitations due to "concerns" over imaginary property.
Yeh I hadn't noticed the other page where everything submitted is published!

I was upscaling old family photos on replicate.com the other night, and paused to wonder if the photos I put there will end up somewhere else. I'm still not clear about the fate of either the original uploaded, or the resulting image.
I certainly agree that there are people (you seem to be one of them) who will throw their hands up in the air and say "fuck all of this".

I think we are mostly in agreement actually. Just that you are indicating this will amount to the majority of creators and I and the sibling commenter are seeing the world as it is, not as it should be. Realistically? I mean come on - think about it. Hustlers will hustle, sure. But artistic expression and creation doesn't _only_ happen because of money - it happens because some people would rather die than do anything else.

This is what I'm talking about, and what the sibling comment is talking about. I put all of my code on GitHub. These are my creations. If I wanted to be compensated for them, I wouldn't have posted it online. I use permissive licenses and don't need any credit for my work. This is humility - there is nothing special about my work per se. I mean, sure, maybe there is - but it isn't anything that I am the only in the world to pull off. Further, by putting the code online and giving it away - you are democratizing a creation that shouldn't really by _owned_ by anyone, in my opinion.

I gather you don't share that view - but you should know there are a lot of us out there. It's called having passion; and I don't know of any other way to accomplish things at work or for free.
Not gonna lie, I feel like I've been reading this like a Rudin book, going back and over each paragraph again.

This is probably the companion report to have on hand while reading: https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/quarterly-banking-profile/qbp/...

In particular

* Chart 8. Number and Assets of Banks on the "Problem Bank List"

* (Chart 13.) Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Investment Securities

Sadly, "Results are published approximately 55 days after the end of each quarter (i.e., 55 days after March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31)." So there's nothing super new. Bit it strikes me that Chart 13 is going bonkers on unrealized losses, but Chart 8 isn't quite matching the same (assets in problem banks, and # of problem banks is going down since rate hikes??).

Really wanna see that number for 2023Q1. But the quote

> about a quarter of all equity in the banking sector has been vaporized by one line item.

Struck me as pretty wild.
I created this(https://plaihn.vercel.app/) for myself specifically for mobile viewing as I wanted something decluttered compared to all the IOS apps that I’ve used before. Not saying they’re any less but I personally wanted something very simple. I wish to create a comment section within that as well in the future.
>Putting synthetic gasoline in a gas station is essentially an over-the-air upgrade to any conventional ICE vehicle making it guaranteed zero emissions.

Prometheus (a startup) promises to deliver exactly on that. I believe something commercially viable should be coming in a year or so.

I like this overall idea of synthesizing coal and fuels out of atmospheric carbon instead of just burying it somewhere. This could be the easiest and even ROI-able way to implement carbon capture globally, without causing much technological friction and disruption to economies in developing countries.
The Langlands Program, by ChatGPT [pdf]
I will continually push back at the concept of 'Artificial Intelligence'. It's a science fiction conceit, a fantasy, and I don't think it is ever possible to achieve (creation of an actual artificial intelligence). And people who do think tat are, imo, fantasists.

That being said, in the field of machine learning there are significant things being achieved. I was wowed by DeepMind's AlphaZero and its achievements in 'teaching itself' and playing Go, at a level never seen before. I'm impressed by what Tesla is doing with self-driving. I'm less impressed by OpenAI's GPT-x because I don't think it's very useful technology (despite all the, imo, foolish talk of it doing away with all sorts of knowledge jobs and being able to 'tutor' ppl) but I do recognise that it also marks a step up in machine learning in the area of LLMs. None of this is 'Artificial Intelligence' however, and it is both silly and dangerous to conceptualise it as such.
Considering the argument is irrationally applying human rights and rights of living beings to these computers running mildly complicated software, yes the "How" does matter a lot.
How IT workers behave badly and how to deal with them (2017)
I always thought a good addendum to 174 is that the ai will be compelled to generate extremely effective propaganda to convince the non elite that this situation is good.
> GPT never understood any of the steps. GPT just continued our story with the most obvious conclusion; and we made certain that conclusion would be correct.

Perhaps the earlier or current variations of GPT, for most games? But the idea that LLMs can never make anything novel, that it will never "generalise out of distribution" (if that's the correct term here) seems to be just an assertion, not backed by any theory with great evidence behind it.

The "goal" of an LLM is to predict the next token. And the best way to do that is not brute force memorisation or regurgitating training data in various combinations, but to have a world model inside of it that will allow it to predict both the moves a bad player might make, and moves that a grandmaster might make.
What that really means is:

* they may be HIPAA-compliant (ie: they fulfill the requirements),
* they haven't gone through a HIPAA-certification (no third-party cert),
* they aren't using services that aren't HIPAA-certifiable

The latter point is important, because there are some services (ie: firebase) that apparently won't be HIPAA compliant. Some services are HIPAA-compliant if configured correctly. AWS has a list. I believe google does too.

There are a bunch of HIPAA guides out there.

So as a demo, it's not a big deal. But if they start selling this they need at least to be HIPAA-compliant with certification on the roadmap.

If you are working for a wage, someone is already stealing time from you, they're just paying you nominal amount for it.
Google's wounds were self-inflicted and totally public: introduce a product, let in linger for 2 years, kill it, over and over again, dozens of cycles of this.

No political explanation needed, just very obvious senior level mismanagement.
> Just months ago we saw in research out of Harvard that even a very simplistic GPT model builds internalized abstract world representations from the training data within its NN.

I've seen this asserted without citation numerous times recently, but I am quite suspicious. Not that there exists a study that claims this, but that it is well supported.

There is no mechanism for directly assessing this, and I'd be suspicious that there is any good proxy for assessing it in AIs, either. research on this type of cognition in animals tends to be contentious, and proxies for them should be easier to construct than for AIs.

> the wrong side of the Dunning-Kreuger curve

the relationship between confidence and perception in the D-K paper, as I recall, is a line, and its roughly “on average, people of all competency levels see themselves slightly closer to the 70th percentile than they actually are.” So, I guess the “wrong side” is the side anywhere under the 70th percentile in the skill in question?
> Well, even a very popular scientific theory, that supported by the whole consensus of academic society at its time, could be proved wrong decades later.

Oddly enough that's usually only the case for big theories, but not for everything. You'd hard pressed to prove wrong our understanding on how to build bridges, for example.

Would you live in the skyscraper designed by chatgpt?
Alarmism is a perfectly valid stance to alarming developments.

Technology-driven mass calamity, as you put it, follows no rule or law that causes it to play out slow, and frankly, I can think of half a dozen examples where it in fact did. Most notably, nuclear weapon proliferation became a crisis within a few years of the invention of nuclear weapons (and required enormous capital inputs to reproduce, whereas I already have a copy of LLaMA.) Other examples include: the arrival of firearms; the invention of crack cocaine; and the radio, which, we must be at pains to recall, was one of the key tools used by the National Socialists to weaponize the latent hatreds of 1920s Germany.

Given that with minimal effort I've thought of several plausible counterexamples, and you self-report as beginning from your feels about alarmism, it seems to me like you're operating from general dislike of alarms -- "just unalarmism", I could say. A good, solid pragmatic stance that is simple, straightforward, and, given the technology in question, probably wrong.

I'd love to keep the conversation focused on facts, rather than feelings, and predictable, inferrable consequences, rather than on historical rules-of-thumb. (Unnamed and uncited, at that.)

I had a "OMG, we live in the future!" moment reading this headline, isn't this what computers in sci-fi movies do (ok admittedly there aren't a lot of sci-fi movies where office work is the plot): you ask it to do something like yo would an assistant, and it delivers you the results. Something like "Computer, scan planet for lifeforms" on Star Trek.

Maybe someone should build a KITT from Knight Rider using ChatGPT (just for his sass, leave out the self-driving part, that's Elon's department (/s)).
It is well-known that Google had world-class researchers working on AI for a long time now, and that they pioneered a lot of techniques used in the recent AI craze.
It has actually become less brazen because now people have phones and record everything. It's just that you have social media and you get to see it more now compared to the past.
If the revealed preference of everyone is short, terse speech, why isn't business writing optimizing for that?
Ignorance may not be an excuse, but it sure is bliss.
They somewhat address that point by just saying they will figure it out later.

>Some will say that this narrows the kind of roles that we can hire for. In particular, different roles can have very different comp models (sales often has a significant commission component in exchange for a lower base, for example). There is truth to this too – but for the moment we’re going to put this in the "but-this-can’t-scale" bucket.
I just ran a test of latest ChatGPT against Bing where I set it to be precise in its responses. I asked it to create a gRPC service in Go.

The code that Bing produced was missing the protocol buffer definition.

ChatGPT provide correct code.
Idk about that. The jump from 0 to 1 may be a whole lot harder than 1 to 45.

These blogs (kottke.org , memex 1.1) offer daily-ish roundups of links and articles they find interesting, with a short (50-100 words) intro as to why the reader may also be interested. I don't like using email newsletters (my inbox is flooded enough), and long lists of urls is off-putting.
Are there any other blogs that do something similar?
Perhaps. But the point is that some prompt will coax it into giving good answers that really make it win the game, if it has a good "world model" of how the game works. And there's no reason to think a language model cannot have such a world model. What exactly that prompt might be, the prompt engineers know best.

It is intended mostly for training purposes. I think it looks pretty neat for a start. We'll see where the community takes it over the next couple of years.
Tech companies have done a lot of aggressive hiring expecting a rise in business, but with the economic downturn coming, the business opportunity is dwindling .so they have to cut cost. And ofcourse as the corporate logic goes, instead of reducing pay or withholding certain benefits of the top paid executives, it's the lower paid employees who are Expendables and hence on the firing line first.
