How does a 22 year old get the funding to start something like this?
The really fun thing is that they are reasonably sure that GPT-4 can’t do any of those things and that there’s nothing to worry about, silly.

So let’s keep building out this platform and expanding its API access until it’s threaded through everything. Then once GPT-5 passes the standard ethical review test, proceed with the model brain swap.

…what do you mean it figured out how to cheat on the standard ethical review test? Wait, are those air raid sirens?

One could think about it as consulting, but productized, on top of a service. Something like AWS is mind numbingly complicated. Amazon has solutions engineers but there's also a big 3rd party market. And some part of that market doesn't need fully bespoke solutions but can be well served by a SaaS that sits on top (of course entailing risk, but it's all risky).

OpenAI isn't there yet, personally I'm bearish on generative AI and openAIs dominance, but they're the major player, and there's a version of the future where they dominate the landscape with a complex enterprise offering like AWS that leaves room for intermediaries. So it's not a bad idea to include bets on people who are building these intermediary products as part of a vc portfolio.

> Not sure I follow this distinction.

When you see it, you'll know it.

> Who are all the people companies like Meta, Alphabet, Amazon are firing?

A lot of them were in "tech-adjacent" positions. PM, tech recruiters or evangelists, community managers, DEI folks... At one point one layoff announcement had "returning to a healthy ratio of engineers to non-engineers" as a goal.

> Are you talking about civil engineers?

No. Software engineers.

This coming on the heels of the super underwhelming Bard release makes me actually wonder for the first time if Google has the ability to keep up. Not because I doubt their technical capabilities, but because they're just getting out-launched by a big factor.
> The only think that scares me a little bit is that we are letting these LLMs write and execute code on our machines.

Composable pre-defined components, and keeping a human in the loop, seems like the safer way to go here. Have a company like Expedia offer the ability for an AI system to pull the trigger on booking a trip, but only do so by executing plugin code released/tested by Expedia, and only after getting human confirmation about the data it's going to feed into that plugin.

If there was a standard interface for these plugins and the permissions model was such that the AI could only pass data in such a way that a human gets to verify it, this seems relatively safe and still very useful.

If the only way for the AI to send data to the plugin executable is via the exact data being displayed to the user, it should prevent a malicious AI from presenting confirmation to do the right thing and then passing the wrong data (for whatever nefarious reasons) on the backend.
Long term, you're right. But if you approach the ChatGPT plugin opportunity as an inherently time-limited opportunity (like arbitrage in finance), then you you can still make some short-term money and learn about AI in the process. Not a bad route for aspiring entrepreneurs who are currently in college or are looking for a side gig business experiment.

And who knows. If a plugin is successful enough, you might even swap out the OpenAI backend for an open source alternative before OpenAI clones you.
The back is where the expansion bay/eGPU expansion goes. The eGPUs jut out for cooling, and the expansion bay itself is modular and the design is open-sourced, so I'll be curious if there isn't a port bay.
There’s nothing stopping any LLM-backed chatbot from using plugins; the ReAct pattern discussed recently on HN is a general pattern for incorporating them.

The main limits are that unless they are integral and trained-in (which is less flexible), each takes space in the prompt, and in any case the interaction also takes token space, all of which reduces the token space available to the main conversation.
That's just some weird moral compass.

It's almost totally irrelevant if people own up to bring wrong, particularly about predictions.

I can't think of a benefit, really. You can learn from mistakes without owning up to them, and I think that's the best use of mistakes.

The wan show cannot be stopped
Legislators here are unsurprisingly really dumb.

The CCP can just make their own bulk copy of data covertly using botnets posing as users, as is tradition.

Also all the GPS logging metadata and behavioral training data any adversary could ever want are there for the scraping too with any number of potential exploits.

More than that though, companies like Oracle have never done any published work on supply chain attacks to my knowledge and stopping them is really hard. Are they reveiwing all the hundreds of third party dependencies too? Doubtful. Even if they are, you can review source code all day long but that will not stop a few bits being shifted at compile time to make the randomness in the TLS connections not so random, and easier to sniff for a party in the know. You could even shift them at runtime if you happen to be in charge of CPU manufacturing for most phones, which the CCP is.

The CCP has demonstrated itself to be quite sophisticated with supply chain attacks.

Nothing short of fully open sourcing TikTok and offering reproducible builds can even begin to protect users from covert surveillance and manipulation by a central party.

What I haven't seen mentioned yet, and what greatly interests me, is the creation of semi-sentient messenger constructs. I don't have a better term for it, but although unsexy that covers it pretty well.

GPT-4 sure shows signs of sentience. Once fine tuning to a specific task becomes commonplace, you could conceivably finetune a LLM also to your own personality. Loaded up with specific knowledge+personality, this can then allow you to send people interactive messages.

A pseudo-intelligent construct that conveys your message, which the receiver can interrogate. And not just text. As this article shows it could well be a multi-modal talking head, to tickle the social centers of your brain and give things more (perceived) personality.

No longer spouting your requirements to the team over a boring video call; everyone gets your opinion as an interactive avatar, to query at will. I hope someone is working on this..!
I haven't played with this (on the waiting list) but from playing with GPT-3.5 and langchain I almost never saw it hallucinate answers. I would imagine this will be better than that.

> I think she has blame for NOT TAKING action against the hecklers. But you seem to be suggesting she actively did things I don't believe that she did.

There's a ~10 minute video of it. He tries to give his speech, but the students continue to disrupt it. The school's policy allows protests, but not disruption. He asks for an administrator, and she starts her (obviously prepared) 6 minute speech. The crowd quiets so she can speak. He tries to talk, but she tells him to let her talk and puts her hand up in a "stop" signal (so that she can give a speech about how she's not going to stop him from talking).

Your quote comes from that speech, but doesn't convey the overall message. A key point is that she worded it, "it is my job to say you are welcome in this space", preceding that with how this was a reason she was uncomfortable. And then she follows it by saying, "and again I ask is the juice worth the squeeze?" She then talks about how she hopes he can listen to the protestors and learn from them. She finishes by saying she's glad this is going on here, to applause.

> What the New York Times thinks will happen: Enhanced labeling and regulation of dangerous chemicals in household cleaners leads to a safer world for all.

This is a lifestyle piece providing basic safety information for common household goods. It's quite a stretch to imply any intention of a regulatory outcome for that, let alone one that somehow bans common cooking ingredients.

Not to mention that the only mention of vinegar is as an aside, a (correct) warning that two common cleaning materials should not be used simultaneously.

I am not at all surprised that your name seems to be Russian. Before anyone accuses me of racism, I too am from the same region, and my mother is ethnically Russian.

Your mentality is typical of people from low-trust societies - "lol those naive Westerners" (lokhi[0] in Russian). But while individuals in high-trust societies can indeed be lokhi, everyone in a low-trust society is, collectively. They are giving up on the social development and institutions that only work well when trust in people you don't know is a societal value. They are defective at best, and nonexistent at worst, in a society where everyone treats each other with scepticism, disdain and distrust by default, until proven otherwise.

So, most of these "DAOs" aren't actually decentralied. You can build these things so they are decentralized in nature--where random users can vote on even something as critical as what code is running at any given moment--but there are inherent limitations then to what can actually be done by the organization. If you even just think through "who owns our (centralized) domain name?" the DAO often rapidly decloaks and you see a handful of people are running the show and have merely promised to do what everyone asked them to... and like, that's exactly what a normal centralized corporation is with shareholders, which we have chosen as a society (for better or worse) to classify as a security.

All are welcome to discuss how the future DAO should work, as well as how the current governance model works, by participating on our forums and in the #governance channel of our Discord server.

This is, thereby, not decentralized and autonomous. This is a system where a small handful of people are sitting on a giant pile of cash--one which, AFAIK, is being funded by fees charged on the operating platform--that they promise they are managing on behalf of and at the direction of people who have received what amounts to a share in their organization as part of what is almost certainly an unregistered security offering. That they promise to use direct shareholder voting for as many decisions as possible and have an extremely liquid market for their shares doesn't change this analysis.

Which, to be clear, is entirely different from the situation with, say, Tornado Cash, or any other decentralized system. I'm seeing a number of people here saying "how would they even shut it down?! it's decentralized!"... but, no: the thing this DAO is isn't merely some decentralized contracts. (Hell: I haven't looked yet, but it wouldn't surprise me one iota if there were an obvious kill-switch in even the supposedly-decentralized part of the system that can be tickled by that Operations Multisig.)

Why Is Wealth White?
Literally 6 months ago you couldn't get ChatGPT to call up details from a webpage or send any dat to a 3rd party API connected to the web in any way.

Today you can.

I don't think it is a stretch to think that in another 6 months there could be financial institutions giving API access to other institutions through ChatGPT, and all it takes it a stupid access control hole or bug and my above sentence could ring true.

Look how simple and exploitable various access token breaches in various APIs have been in the last few years, or even simple stupid things like the aCropalypse "bug" (it wasn't even a bug, just someone making a bad change in the function call and thus misuse spreading without notice) from last week.

Corporations, religions, governments etc are just an amalgam of human values and behavior that results in the effects we perceive. Yet, AI researchers most grand theory of successful alignment relies on simply applying our values to the AI such that it will be aligned.

You can look at any human organized entity simply as another form of power and how our values become interpreted when given power. Your observation could simply be seen as further evidence of how alignment is a flawed concept.

If you take a single individual and have them fully illicit their values and principles you will find they are in conflict with themselves. Two values that are almost universal and individually positive, liberty and safety, are also the very values that also cause much of our own conflict. So yes, we are all unaligned with each other and even minor misalignment causes conflict. However, add power to the misalignment and then you have significant harm as the result.

FYI, I've written a lot specifically on the alignment issues in the event you might be interested further - https://dakara.substack.com/p/ai-singularity-the-hubris-trap
Microsoft freaks out users with Windows 11 warning: 'LSA protection is off'
Of course there certainly arguments in both directions but as I understand it this and some other passages are intended to subvert ideas of and normalize the same-sex relationships that developed in the then entirely male seafaring world.

It's like, when Ishmael bunks with Queequeg and they are spooning, well why shouldn't a couple guys cuddle, sure, that emphasizes platonic intimacy between men in a way you didn't often see in the literature of the time.

But then you have this passage. Like of all the things to discuss closeness with the other men, it's a bunch of sperm they're gently squeezing and caressing and becoming close with one another, breaking down boundaries between the globules and each other... "let us all squeeze ourselves into each other" - yes it could be referring to platonic affection but my feeling is Melville knew exactly what he was doing here and it's massively and happily gay. As far as who might be "canonically" gay in the book that's all down to interpretation but I think it's hard to argue against the erotic tone of the sperm squeeze.

The usage rates are vastly different. What do people in an office building use water for? Coffee, dishwashing, toilet flushing. Those will be somewhat dispersed through the day. Compared to a residential building where half of the building is having a shower in the space of an hour or so in the morning. So you need to get more water in and more water out, both of which probably need the pipes replaced, and more space to hold them (even more at the lower levels of the building). Similar problem with electricity if that's what's being used for cooking.

Though I knew exactly what it was, I was also confused by it. The title implied that what was previously hidden was going to be revealed. Then, a large chunk of what happened continuing to be entirely obscured was disorienting.

I thought there'd at least be more, eg a second camera where the part during the flash would be revealed, as I'd have expected if someone set up to film lightning in slo-mo they'd have set a sensible exposure for the purpose.

They put up this really long line - 537 m - and it seems like it was burned off by "lightning", but I think this happens by such static build-up and no proper lightning will be seen. The voltage difference between the mountainsides rises and is enough to cut the line, far earlier than any lightning strikes?

In the video they show the burned line at around the 6:20 mark.
Or another way to look at it is: it's not worth learning if you're just doing it once or twice. By the 10th time you've asked ChatGPT I presume some learning/remembering will take place.
