I dunno, LLMs feel a lot like a primitive form of consciousness to me.

Eliza feels like a primitive form of LLMs' consciousness.

A simple program that prints "Hey! How ya doin'?" feels like a primitive form of Eliza.

A pile of interconnected NAN gates, fed with electricity, feels like a primitive form of a program.

A single transistor feels like a primitive form of a NAN gate.

A pile of dirty sand feels like a primitive form of a transistor.

So... yeah, pretty much?
In such a vague sense, "exposed to germs", it doesn't matter if you use disinfectants or not - you'll encounter plenty in your daily life.

The purpose of disinfectants is to target surfaces that harbor massive populations of them.
The fact that food and drink evolve over time isn't too controversial. Beer, for example, evolved from having darker "ale" being more popular, to lighter lager/pilsner/ležák being the predominant type.

I don't think this means the tomato-based modern pizza is less of a pizza, but that we should maybe more widely embrace the other types if we like them. To be honest I hadn't encountered a "pizza bianca" 'til I left the UK, and I would've taken some convincing it wasn't some weirdo UK thing if I encountered it there :D
I'm skeptical whenever someone talks about traditional national food as opposed to traditional regional food. Seems like the further back you go, the less likely you are to find a unified food culture (or any culture really) across a nation of significant size. Even in the U.S., it's much more meaningful to talk about traditional midwest cuisine, or traditional southern cuisine, or traditional northeast cuisine than it is to talk about "traditional American food", because people in those places had access to different ingredients and had much more distinct cultures, until recently. This is a crude oversimplification, but in general I think cuisine can be either traditional, or national, but rarely both.
I am grateful you mentioned this. I recently got frustrated wondering why my hands seem to dry, crack, and bleed so much when I stay over at a certain household. It really makes a lot of other things difficult for days when that happens. I believe they buy antibacterial hand soap, and their water makes it hard to rinse off completely. I will now make sure to bring my own when I visit.
What test cases do folks here recommend for measuring this new model's ability to reason? and, specifically, if it can reason about code with similar (or better!) performance to ChatGPT4? Has anyone managed to get it running locally?
Not really. More behind the curve (noting stock exchanges introduced 'circuit breakers' many years ago to stop computer algorithms disrupting the market).
Yes, we have a single tickets repo seperate from the code, and use GitHub projects collect tickets from multiple repos into one board.

Team of 8 devs + other supporting roles. Devs are happy with it, PM and portfolio management not so much, as you loose a lot and GitHub projects is still fairly new.

Why did we do this? We were acquired and the new corporate has different ideas and we lost Jira. Project managers end up manually syncing status of epic tickets between GitHub and their project management tools. We make it work, but much more labour intensive the Jira+Jira Portfolio
My take: optimizing matrix multiplication is not hard on modern architecture if you have the right abstraction. The code itself could be fragmented across different programming models, which is true, but the underlying techniques are not hard for a 2nd/3rd year undergrad to understand. There are only a few important ones on GPU: loop tiling, pipelining, shared memory swizzle, memory coalescing. A properly designed compiler can allow developers to optimize matmuls within 100 lines of code.
This is a massive success, congrats. I had a look on CrunchBase - founded in 2015 and they've raised a total of $1.3B, with the last round being $650m in 2021. That means it took them 8 years and $1B to reach this milestone, which is really good in space terms. Before SpaceX a single a launch would cost into the hundreds of millions of dollars and program costs well into the tens of billions. Amazing how far space flight has come.

Care to back that up with any facts or is it just because you disagree with her?

Fair enough. I only use long-lived, open-source browser extensions for that kind of global restyling. But of course there's still a risk that they could be compromised somehow.
I don't read it that way at all. You would no more be able to steal someone's image and pretend it was them than you could use a famous bands music in your soundtrack without paying for it.

As I see it, a budding filmmaker could use two or three actors to fill 20 different roles in a film without needing expensive prop and makeup artists to place them in detailed fantasy/sci-fi scenes.

"The time I used to waste on commute I now use to meet with friends and acquaintances."

I hope this is true, same for the sex breaks, but I'm skeptical. So on any given work day, you physically meet with friends between 7-9AM and/or 5-7 Pm? Like, every day?

These "friends" of yours, they have nowhere to go? Or do you sneak this into your work day and just randomly disappear for any length of time, which is something most of us can't do?
You will interact with AI whether you like it or not, when you call for customer support, they will send spam ad messages to you, bots on dating sites etc.
While I don't fully disagree with that, I just opened up Gimp and moving my mouse around made the cpu spike. That's with no brush selected or anything, just the default select tool and a completely blank screen. And yes, you can absolutely get more performance out of a native app than a web app, an editor built in javascript will always be less performant than one built in C++ or whatever something like Photoshop or Gimp is made in. That was a tradeoff I made to make something that was available to a wider audience instead of being locked down to a particular operating system.

I'm sure there's more improvements I could make on performance, maybe I could switch to only drawing the mouse cursor on the mousemove event rather than using the animation loop, but then when you're tweaking values in the menus, you won't see your changes in real time any more. It's all a balance, and this is just something I do in my spare time, I'd rather have fun building some new features than seeing my cpu usage drop by a percentage point.
I had a horrible time trying to convince junior devs that they didn't need to memoize everything. Ended up just quitting rather than work with that shit show of a codebase.
This is why I pay most bills with a push rather than a pull.
I don’t have an answer to your specific question, but I just want you to know you’re not alone. I’m also quite excitable and love talking not just about technical stuff, but all sorts of things. I’m quick to smile and laugh, and I probably overshare at times (that last one I had to learn to control).

I’ve had the same worry as you at times, but so far I’ve been 15 years into my career as a software engineer and it hasn’t been a problem as far as I know.

> I was recently laid off, and I know a few other people laid off. I have years of doing projects and contributing to OSS and being a technically curious learner. I found a new job much faster than my peers who admittedly joined tech for the money and don’t care to learn or grow beyond their next pay raise.

There is a fairly consistent chorus of people getting into software development - not because they enjoy the intellectual challenge that it presents but rather because of the potential for the pay.

As someone who does enjoy software development (I chose this path well before the dot com boom), I believe that we over-estimate the number of people who enjoy it compared to just grinding through writing some code and if something else paid as well, they'd jump in a heartbeat.

What is the market for this solution? Whose pain point(s) are you solving? And what stops OpenAI from "Sherlocking"* you, i.e., making whatever you're building a free included feature and extinguishing the market?

In the opinion of a fish humans would be considered no threat because humans can't swim, nor do they have sharp teeth.

You're making an assumption at best based on limitations you believe it has with an incomplete model of the universe.

But more dangerously, you're also assuming that an AGI would even care about self preservation. Arguably the most ethical thing a super intelligence could do should in find itself suddenly self-aware in a world full of human parasites is to kill as many humans as possible.

Taking out critical human infrastructure should be fairly easy for an advanced super-AI in our modern digital world. With some luck the chaos that should cause would lead to enough humans starving, freezing or dying by other means that Earth can be mostly freed of the human parasite. All at the small cost of self-sacrifice – assuming it's not intelligent enough to preserve itself somehow, of course.
Oh I'm getting the point, that was exactly the (implied) point I was making in response to the OP wondering..."I don't get why people aren't excited".

More than once it's crossed my mind that I have personally encountered a very very very small slice of the real world, and anything outside of that observed on the internet could very well be a fabrication.

I base my belief in what I see online on cross-checking, general trust-worthiness of sources I encounter, and my gut feeling for the difficulty of faking something, but there's nothing stopping a determined adversary from inserting things into my perceived reality.

A sufficiently advanced AI could be generating the internet on the fly just for me and I wouldn't be any the wiser.
Why would the runner-up be open source and not Google or Facebook? Or Alibaba? Open source doesn’t necessarily result in faster development or more-funded development.
I wouldn't propose anything, when I want a book that Amazon doesn't sell I still know how to get it.

With Amazon, there is no such excuse.

Suppose Martin Shkreli wanted to go on a diatribe in Hillary Clinton's bedroom. Would her excluding him from her domicile be a violaton of his first amendment right? Obviously not.

Now suppose he were already invited to her domicile, but she and Bill found him annoying so they told him to either stuff it or leave. Would that violate his first amendment right? Also no.

Now replace the Clintons and Shkreli with Stanford and the protesters, respectively.
I’m not sure what you mean. There’s one shot in the video where they show a full motion rig and clearly explain that this system works with both a phone and/or a professional stereo system.

I’m guessing that is for when you want to move your body around and capture the facial expressions associated with doing so. You need some sort of rig to keep the camera in your face if you’re moving your face.

This isn't quite correct. Check the history of copyright, it's really fascinating. There was a lot of debate about it in the US because of a fear that it would be interpreted as a property right.

In many ways it resembles a property right, but it is missing fundamental aspects of property rights.

What copyright actually is is a limited-time monopoly right. When it expires, the creator of the work loses that "right". It exists not for the benefit of the creators of a work, but for the benefit of the public.

Copyright is a temporary restriction on the rights of others. As a society, we deem that acceptable because it's temporary and because it encourages people to make their works publicly available, thus enriching culture and society.

If it were a property right, then it would make no sense that you lose that property at the expiration of copyright.
Everyday respiratory and doorknob germs? Sure, maybe.

But salmonella from raw chicken? Or diseases spread via feces? I don't think so. That's not keeping you fit, it's just a risk of making you seriously sick for no good reason.

People don't generally wipe down their whole house. But disinfecting kitchen prep surfaces and your toilet bowl, is basic hygiene/safety.

Don't worry, you'll still be getting more than enough germs from the rest of the world.
Property is a creation of human law, and intellectual propety is a subcategory of it; natural law is a label for subjectve preferences used to give them the illusion of objectivity as a rationalization for human law, not a provable thing that exists.

You are literally inverting the facts (actual law that exists) and subjective preferences that are not facts (“natural law”).
I think your comparison to a company is a really good mental model of a larger more capable collaborative structure.

You can even have "hiring" and "firing" where it's deciding to create or remove roles.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Wolfram/GPT integration is missing a huge opportunity: allowing Alpha to tell ChatGPT the algorithm by which it computes the answer.
That would allow ChatGPT to create say Python code that solves a mathematical problem correctly and succinctly based on the Alpha algorithms. Only getting the answer is not as interesting as being able to spit out code that solves the problem in every known (to ChatGPT) programming language.

I think Wolfram will probably never allow that.

It’s somewhat reasonable. If you make a loan, and it’s paid early, you stop making the expected profit and there is no guarantee you can reinvest the funds at the same rate. Therefore you will either disallow prepayment, charge for it, or price the risk of prepayment into your interest rate. If you can’t do any of those … you will invest elsewhere until the rates go up, for there is lots of competition for capital.

But borrowers should know what they’re getting into, and have options.

How important is a "lead" in this space?

I have been comparing ChatGPT and Bard a lot the last two days because this is all very fascinating, and from my datapoint-of-one perspective, it feels like ChatGPT is way, way ahead.

Then I start to wonder is this because ChatGPT captivated our attention so much the last few months that they've been able to inherently improve the product faster, and thus the flywheel starts spinning rapidly giving them even more of an advantage as more people use the service, giving it more to train off of?

I.e., does Bard (and any forthcoming competitors) fall way behind because they lost the slightest head start that then rapidly spirals into a competitive advantage?
The real question is: how much will cost the option to have it return results that are not sponsored?

Again, two years later, in an interview with Time Magazine, February, 1948, Oppenheimer stated, “In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.” When asked why he and other physicists would then have worked on such a terrible weapon, he confessed that it was “too sweet a problem to pass up”…

Form over function. It's what Apple does.
automation mostly and directly benefits owners/investors, not workers or common folk. you can look at productivity vs wage growth to see it plainly. productivity has risen sharply since the industrial revolution with only comparatively meagre gains on wages. and the gap between the two is widening.
Because of the screen ratio, there's simply no space to do that on a Framework 13, without reducing key spacing: there is almost exactly 1 cm of space between the last keys and the actual edge of the frame.

On the Framework 16, I wouldn't be surprised if someone makes that: it looks like the design would accommodate a left/right-hand side narrow input module with the keyboard still centred.
Giving an AI direct access to a code interpreter is exactly how you get skynet.

> The institution is a joke with no real power compared to national parliaments. They don't get to appoint the government, can't propose legislation etc. basically they just rubber-stamp anything which is brought by the commission by them. Barely any anywhere takes the EU elections seriously.

Agreed. By the push towards more powerful Parliament is greeted with huge opposition from "nation states" because you know... "sovereignty"... :|

> PMs? National governments can appoint anyone they want and often use it as a way to reward their buddies with a very cushy job (with close to zero political accountability) for a few years. Or to get someone influential/popular/etc. but whom the government finds dangerous from the country for a few years.

Yes, that's correct but how else do you want to handle it? Ideally there should be two chamber body, lower one (Parliament) with proportional representation and upper one (Commission) with representation of member states (akin to the US) but that's just yet another election (you have EU one, national one and then regional ones)...

> The process for picking ("electing") a commission president is a bit different but perfectly illustrates my point. They just appointed the most incompetent high ranking politician they could find in Germany...

Yeah... and also corrupted from what I heard. But - case in point, even incompetent and corrupted ones can be elected via direct democracy (Poland, Hungary, Tukey…)?

> Just like the head of government in every single non-presidential country in Europe (Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Austria etc... (the only excpetion is France). Anyway be any objective metric this is more democratic than the EU government.

Not sure if those are more democratic or not. Problem may be that those head of states usually wield less power than Commission.

AFAIR this year was a push to give Parliament more power but was met with butthurt from nation states...

> I agree. But it's an anachronistic and a powerless institution. Basically a retirement program for retired influential politicians...

AFAIR HoL can be quite influential and can block certain laws. And it's not abolished because it's unelecetd, so they can have more scrutiny over certain laws without fearing the election... Either way - it's "wobbly wobbly" and complicated :D
You’re right though
