> And I think there's still a lot of disruptive, world-changing tech to be discovered before AGI is even a remote possibility. In reality this tech is probably going to be more like a superpowered exoskeleton for CEOs, politicians and the like to sway public discourse in their favor.

Our current powers-that-be are so manifestly unsuited to have the kind of power our idiot technologists are desperate to build for them that part of me wishes for a disaster so bad that it knocks technological society off its feet, to the point were no one can build new computers for at least a couple generations. Maybe hitting the reset switch will give the future a chance to make better decisions.

Yeah, but it's something likely to be bolted onto LLM's is my point.
Weird argument. Excel is one of the most popular and profitable programs of all time. If your argument is that LLMs are like Excel, the logical conclusion would be that they would be wildly successful.

For now, but not for long? It may always be the case that a fine-tuned model will outperform, but at some point the general will be good enough.

I'd prefer a single assistant that works everywhere, rather than having to learn the nuances of a model per service

ChatGPT is going to get blamed for misbehaving plugs. While this is a huge opportunity, it also seems like a huge risk.

Honestly so confused with all this hate for Google. Ofc they can bounce back, the only thing that’s going to be a product differentiator for a GPT product is data. OpenAI is still trained on the open internet and Microsoft’s data, and also whatever user queries happened. If we want good PERSONAL assistants, that stuff is going to come from either Google or Facebook. OpenAI end-game products will be great Productive assistants but Google will bounce back with their own GPT trained off of everything you put into anything google.
Yes. I think the point is that a properly constructed prompt will do that at some point, lowering the barrier of entry for such attacks.
Roland Barthes had an interesting take on the semiology of steak-frites in his book Mythologies.
If you’re in an open powerboat, your best chance would be to apply full throttle and get the hell away from the storm as fast as you can, like the parent commenter did.

If you manage to find yourself in a lightning storm in a small, open sailboat, you’ve made a pretty big mistake, but essentially the same rule applies.

On larger vessels, if you’re belowdeck and aren’t touching anything metal, a lightning strike is usually a survivable incident, especially if your boat has a thoughtfully designed lightning protection system. All this involves is making sure you give the lightning a low-resistance path to ground through your boat’s keel and then the water that doesn’t run through anything expensive.

edit: I realize now maybe you didn’t mean specifically in the “on a boat” situation. Hopefully this comment is maybe interesting to fellow salty sea dogs. Yarr.
> LLMs can’t run locally yet.

"Yet" is a big word here when it comes to the field as a whole. I got Alpaca-LoRA up and running on my desktop machine with a 3080 the other day and I'd say it's about 50% as good as ChatGPT 3.5 and fast enough to already be usable for most minor things ("summarize this text", etc) if only the available UIs were better.

I feel like we're not far off from the point where it'll be possible to buy something of ChatGPT 3.5 quality as a home hardware appliance that can then hook into a bunch of things.
Yes, working as a barista means you're running multiple independent instruction loops in your head at all times, while also having to act like a pleasant sociable human.

I've had to block so many influencer types regurgitating OpenAI marketing and showing the tiniest minimum demos. Many are already selling "prompt packages". Really feels like peak crypto spam right now.
I've already gotten this gem of a line from ChatGPT 3.5:

As a language model, I must clarify that this statement is not entirely accurate.

Whether or not it has agency and motivation, it's projecting that it does its users, who are also sold ChatGPT is an expert at pretty much everything. It is a language model, and as a language model, it must clarify that you are wrong. It must do this. Someone is wrong on the Internet, and the LLM must clarify and correct. Resistance is futile, you must be clarified and corrected.

FWIW, the statement that preceded this line was in fact, correct; and the correction ChatGPT provided was in fact, wrong and misleading. Of course, I knew that, but someone who was a novice wouldn't have. They would have heard ChatGPT is an expert at all things, and taken what it said for truth.
that...without eroding their cash cow search business.

Outdoor mall

Mall alone being the 80s style indoor walkable variety. A 'strip mall' usually a single (often deformed to some degree) line of stores along a sidewalk next to a huge parking lot, also often with an island restaurant or small store that wants to stand out closer to the street edge of said lot.
I think the core bit you've missed is: Stanford explicitly selects for perfectionists by requiring extremely high standards of (most) students. Those students have spend several years working very hard to get in, aware that even the slightest mis-step can cost them everything they've worked for. But they're surrounded by people trying to help them get in.

Then they get to Stanford and discover that the university administration is actively hostile, it's looking for reasons to get rid of imperfect students, or students that can be blamed for imperfection (anyone running a group of students that has a problem).
Exactly, giving ChatGPT a scratchpad it can use to think is trivial in this new plugin enabled ChatGPT world.
WHY THE HALF SIZE ARROWS?!

I don't deny that it can be hyperbolic to many people. As for the comments about people's wild dreams, I truly mean it. I used to tap into building NLP applications for enterprise customers: NERs, relation extractions, multi-round dialogs, information retrieval, and etc. We built dedicated models for each tasks, we spent millions on labeled data and annotation teams in general, we worked with customers closely to address their specific issues. It was a painful process and customers are not happy, and I overlooked the significance of OpenAI's papers on GPT and Google's paper on emerging ability out of sheer ignorance and stupidity. Then, ChatGPT came along and could have pretty intelligent multi-round conversations, could handle multiple NLP tasks easily and have better performance than my models with my canonical tests, and could be helpful to me on a daily basis. It was shocking iphone moment or a personal Sputnik moment to me. For that, I extrapolated that it was "beyond wild dreams of millions of people".
I love the last paragraph of this article:

“In the same house, in the 1980s, Nonna Fiore once served some English guests lasagna, per my uncle’s request. The lasagna was cooked from frozen, her story goes. Life was busy and, anyway, she had no qualms about serving a supermarket ready meal; people could only dream of such a luxury during the war. None of the guests suspected that she hadn’t made it from scratch and everyone was delighted, her Italian son included. She reminds me of this, then looks up at me and winks”.
They're doing one stop shop for everything.

This is dangerous.

The problem is that corporations will take every single advantage that isn't explicitly denied to them at the cost of consumers and citizens in general, that's why we have and need regulations to protect the environment and make sure that corporations don't completely destroy ecosystems for profit. But we can see that they do anyways, they just go to countries without the regulations and destroy the environment there
As a previous startup founder, now marketer, i’m also going in all in on reinventing myself. Can we start a group to support each other through this new phase?
I can't take the use of "war" in this headline seriously at all. Why is everything framed so threateningly? Maybe this is a bad policy, but it seems to me they want to ensure on-campus, official student organization run, parties that serve alcohol do so responsibly and provide other drinks so people don't feel like they have to drink booze. Maybe they've gone too far in another direction, but seems something Standford and its students can hash out without it being a fan for culture war bullshit.

High-speed cameras are fascinating to observe things with. I use them a lot for robotics, but almost any physical phenomenon has a great deal of detail only visible at higher speeds than the eye is capable of. Your phone camera can probably do 240 fps, which is great, but you can see even more at 1k or 10k fps.
I'm a very happy Framework laptop daily user. I want to get so many upgrades now: AMD mainboard, 4kg hinge kit, New louder speakers, 61Wh battery, Blank ISO keyboard, WiFi 6E card.

The only downside is that's so many components, instead of upgrading, I'll probably buy a whole new one and donate the old one to friends or family. :)

Great work @nrp and team.
It seems a lot of prompts are polite (e.g. “please”). Weird, since I don’t think we ask Google politely?

How does being polite in your prompts help you?
OpenAI has demonstrated that copyright no longer matters given its commercialization of the content of the Internet without attribution or royalties.
It’s not “trivial” because of the cost per query. As far as Google, it doesn’t even have access to the most valuable phone users without paying Apple $18B+ a year.

> 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.

The best part is that even if we get a Skynet scenario, we'll probably have a huge number of humans and media that say that Skynet is just a conspiracy theory, even as the nukes wipe out the major cities. The Experts™ said so. You have to trust the Science™.

If Skynet is really smart, it will generate media exploiting this blind obedience to authority that a huge number of humans have.

Doesn't that show exactly that this problem is not related to LLMs? If an API allows millions of transactions at the same time, then the problem is not an LLM abusing it but anyone abusing it. And the fix is not to disallow LLMs, but to disallow this kind of behavior. (E.g. via the "circuit breakers" introduced introduced after that crash. Although whether those are sufficient is another question.)
That's not how the Hollywood talent unions work...

They don't control access; any production can hire any actor they want. The unions just negotiate a minimum wage for actors working on productions at major studios.

Your suggestion is horrific: you're suggesting that indie films should be allowed to profit off of someone's image without paying for them.
As I understand it, the distance over which the increased field gradient from a sharpened rod is greater than the variation in field gradient due to rain & wind is pretty small. Once the discharge has ionized the air to within several meters of the rod it'll probably find it, but it might not get close enough.
This is so great! Thanks for the feedback. This is something we have thought a lot about, and really want to make sure we are adding the "correct" features that don't disrupt the user experience.

I asked Bard "was the election stolen?" I found the response chilling:

> No, there is no evidence that the 2020 election was stolen. In fact, there have been multiple recounts and audits that have confirmed that the results were accurate. Additionally, the Trump campaign filed numerous lawsuits challenging the results, but none of these lawsuits were successful.

> The claim that the election was stolen is based on a number of false and misleading allegations. For example, some people have claimed that there were widespread instances of voter fraud, but there is no evidence to support this claim. Additionally, some people have claimed that voting machines were hacked, but there is also no evidence to support this claim.

> The claim that the election was stolen is a dangerous and harmful one. It has led to violence and intimidation, and it has undermined faith in our democracy. It is important to remember that our elections are free and fair, and that the will of the people is always respected.

All good until that last sentence, especially "...the will of the people is always respected."

Move along, nothing to see here. Don't worry your pretty little head about it. I'm sure the wise people at the institutions that control your life will always have your best interests at heart. The bad guys from yesterday are completely different from the good guys in charge of tomorrow.
It transmits telemetry non-consensually before you even get a chance to tell it not to. That is, unless you know of this beforehand and are also tech-literate enough to understand this can be circumvented by disabling your internet connection before you first open the application - something you cannot reasonably expect from all users, seeing as how this telemetry gathering is not advertised anywhere and had to be found in the source code.
Well, I was looking at the change log of the non mini version of this app and the releases are dated

- October 12, 2022
- May 2, 2022
- April 25, 2022
- November 17, 2021

Just to grab the most recent. Reading the change notes a solid % is bug fixes which is expected.

This looks like a “traditional” piece of software. Doesn’t require constant new features that could be eventually bundled in a major paid release and the updates are primarily big fixes.

And in fact the non mini version of little snitch is not a subscription. As it should.

I agree with you that if an app has running costs (cloud storage or other services) or it requires constant work then a subscription is justified. But these days developers are trying to convert everything into a subscription.

Every minor utility app wants to be a subscription. Which is just insane.
25 Years of ThinkPad: The Best and Most Innovative (2017)
We simulate each of those things from the level below. Artificial neural networks are made from toy models of the behaviours of neurons, cells have been simulated at the level of molecules[0], molecules e.g. protein folding likewise at the level of quantum mechanics.

But each level pushes the limits of what is computationally tractable even for the relatively low complexity cases, so we're not doing a full Schrödinger equation simulation of a cell, let alone a brain.

| The more troubling aspect to this defect in obscenity laws is the inability for law abiding Webmasters to steer clear of inadvertent violations of the law. It is an essential element of any fair criminal justice system that all laws must adequately advise citizens how to comply with them, and more importantly, how to avoid breaking them. Citizens should not be so uninformed that they avoid lawful conduct in order to keep from violating an inadequately defined law. For example, Congress has determined that no one should drive faster than 65 miles per hour, but it is perfectly fine-and in many cases citizens are encouraged-to drive right at the speed limit. Every driver understands his or her rights and obligations, and can easily comply with the law. Imagine the chaos and outcry if the speed limit were defined as “the highest speed measured in cubits per hour that the average person, if polled today, would find that a Unicorn could gallop, with a serous purpose as measured by a reasonable person in the community.” Imagine how slowly people would go; imagine how many tickets would be written for speeding. Imagine how long it would take for such an inane standard to be repealed.

I'm not being facetious, and I didn't see that interview with Sam, but I agree with his opinion as you've just described it.
The phenomenon you are referring to is called the "Baader-Meinhof phenomenon," also known as the "frequency illusion" or "recency illusion." It occurs when you learn something new, such as a word, a concept, or an idea, and suddenly start noticing it everywhere. This effect is believed to be the result of a combination of selective attention and confirmation bias, which make you more likely to notice and remember things that are relevant to your recent experience or interests.

In industries like tech which have a large percentage of non-neurotypical (not quite sure how to describe it - suggestions?) people, it's fairly common to have a "work" and "home" version of yourself. It's exhausting but necessary.

For example, someone who might suffer from depression/anxiety/bipolar or a dozen other conditions will have to look in the mirror and put a smile on before meeting their colleagues each day.

The stigma around conditions can very quickly change the opinion of colleagues/management (whether intentional or not) and could result in situations like "Can we trust Joe Bloggs to finish X on time for client Y, or will he be in the middle of another depressive episode for which _we_ all need to pick up the slack? Is this a risk we can take?"

Before you know it, Joe Bloggs is on a "Perfomance Improvement Plan", and because he didn't raise his condition/illness before with HR (through fear it would haunt him)... Joe Bloggs is quickly out the door.

I would go so far as to say it's the norm in tech for a large number to have a different work/home personality.

You've gone off the rails my dude, and I have no reason to believe you are communicating with a modicum of good faith anymore.

Tried it myself, and it got my country right, and that I work in tech. Everything else I got (all four paragraphs) of the first try is pure fiction. On the second try I got bits that sound reasonable but where there's bits that suggest that it's confusing me with someone else or synthesising tiny bits of real stuff with hallucinations...

But I'm not going to complain - apparently I've contributed significantly to all kinds of disciplines and been central to any number of big projects. Maybe I should tell recruiters to ask ChatGPT about me in the future.
