What makes a feeling different or unapproachable by sophisticated mimicry? GPT models with bad guardrails already generate dramatic/emotional text because they internalized human narratives and propensity for drama from the training data (cf. the "Bing got upset" type articles from a month ago).

Unless you mean to say it's not the same as the model having qualia. It's not clear to me whether we would know when that emerged in the algorithm, as it wouldn't necessarily be outwardly distinguishable from mimicry.
> Clearly set theorists worldwide find nothing* wrong with the current definition.

Are you saying that popularity defines reality? If enough people agree on something that’s the truth and we shouldn’t question thing anymore?

About the two points:

1) the definition of what a set is vague, so math has determines that set is an atomic concept that through formality should conform to our expectations of what a set is. So instead of dormally defining what a set is, they formally define a description for a certain set (https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1452425/what-is-the...)

2) not sure what you mean. All symbols are finite. Think of a symbol as a tag for something else. In the case of infinity, what’s happening here is that the label for infinity is being equated with actual infinity, and then used to determine other stuff.

Yes, I want this to mean something real. Because if we are just going to make stuff up, let’s just use a different language instead of co-opting concepts from natural language.

Cantors proof doesn’t prove that reals are uncountable, they prove that he couldn’t come up with a system to count them, if he had already counted the naturals and paired them up. But you cannot do that, it just doesn’t make sense.

Similarly, saying that the cardinality of the naturals is the label aleph-null, might be useful to perform operations. But whatever you conclude, will be based on the wrong assumption that you can finish counting infinity.
To cut down on hits to the GPT API, the library should write the code required to parse the data on the first time it hits a page, then for all instances of that page, it can use the code instead of hitting the GPT API.
I hope so... I really do. Looking at HN, and I understand nobody knows what the future holds, but to get to those flowers a lot of pain is going to come I think. For me, for other people... to me the most disgusting comments I've seen on HN has been SV people who say that I should have saved up enough as a buffer. That isn't the case for us SWEs who live abroad. Not all of us make SV salary. I could go on and on about this. I really just hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel for us in the short term, because if it is coming for our jobs in 5 years or less, many of us in society will be left for rot.
Humans learn language and concepts through sentences, and in most cases semantic understanding can be built up just fine this way. It doesn't work quite the same way for math. When I look at the numbers in the example, I have no idea if they are prime or factors because they themselves don't have much semantic content. In order to understand whether they are those things or not actually requires to stop and perform some specific analysis on them learned through internalizing sets of rules that were acquired through a specialized learning process. Humans themselves don't learn math by just talking to one another about it, rather they actually have to do it in order to internalize it.

In other words, mathematics or arithmetic is not highly encoded in language. It's not that nobody can think of these tests, it's that they don't say what you imagine they do. A poor understanding of math is simply that...a poor understanding of math. General understanding is not binary. You can understand some things well and not understand others.

That is one. 2, people really need to start doing these gotcha tests on GPT-4. It's just much better across the board. And has a much better understanding of arithmetic than chatGPT.
Perhaps I'm missing something but for a text-only interface, why do you need javescript? I always disable it in my browser and your site shows very little without it. Ran it in a VM to allow JS see what it did and got "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred (see the browser console for more information)."
Just like sister comment said, people are showing videos of driving around Mariupol.

If should be clear to see how the incentives of Ukrainians and Russians are polar opposite, yet they will both use truth as a weapon of war. I.e. the Russian equivalent of this website shows rebuilt, functioning cities.
It’s explicitly allowed to create new based on photographs, assuming the resulting work is not similar with the original

> For example: if they base their painting on an oft photographed or painted location, generic subject matter, or an image that has been taken by numerous photographers they would likely not be violating copyright law.

> However: if they create their painting, illustration or other work of art from a specific photograph or if your photography is known for a particular unique style, and their images are readily identifiable with you as the photographer, and an artist copies one of your photographic compositions or incorporates your photographic style into their painting or illustration they may be liable for copyright infringement.

Because AI rarely recreates images 1:1 it is unlikely the violate any copyrights.
>Apparently OpenAI has some excellent developer relations and marketing people too.

I've been repeating this for a while now, I think OpenAI is 50% marketing, and a part of the rest is product.

Yes, insofar as we know exactly how the adder and shift registers are implemented we can safely say a calculator "understands" the math its limited button set can be asked to perform. We could certainly replace those circuits with a GPT-like set of internals that would be unreliable as Stallman means, perhaps more reliable than text generation, but fundamentally just as untrustable.
If we look at when this "emergence" takes place you'll see it's an illusion. Namely, predictions (text output) are good-looking when sampling from data which are similar to the prompts; and they're bad-looking when not.

So, when do models go from being "not intelligent" to "intelligent", well no surprise: when their data includes everything ever written. Is this emergence? No, it's just sampling from *data with the relevant properties*.

How does data acquire those properties? Well when people produce it.

What "emerges" from AI is not from AI; its from the properties of the data its using. The data here is produced by intelligent agents, and it is light of their intelligence which shines thru' GPTs like a prism.
Before responding: please note that I do not believe Ukraine bombed itself, or that I diminish the suffering and casualties that have happened since the war.

This site allows you to select a number of streets and see a before/after picture. The site does not allow you to select the many streets that are entirely unchanged, or of which the changes are minimal or even positive (if those even exist).

Propaganda exists in every war, and comes from both sides. The intelligence test isn't to chose which side is right, it is to discern which bit of information is taken out of context, blown out of proportion, or factually incorrect. Is Russia wrong for starting a war? Yes. Is it completely its fault and totally unprovoked? Probably not. Is the Ukraine completely free of sin? Also probably not.

War sucks.

The answer you're obviously looking to get is "the same", and indeed, I probably wouldn't enjoy working in a place that can't be bothered to have a human read invited human-submitted text.
You can get the semantics of coroutines and no parallelism by setting GOMAXPROCS=1, either via environment variable or set in the program initialization.
Eliza is the apt analogy. It's transparently just some if statements substituting phrases into the input, but laypeople that don't understand how it works read into it way more deeply.

Chatgpt is literally just a scaled up version of this. And there's been some kind of eternal September of people who don't understand how a computer works believing all sorts of stuff about it.
I've asked in another language and it just returns the exact same blocking phrases but translated to that language. The model translates between languages seamlessly so this is as expected.
you are right. so it is the savefileandoverwriteexisting() api, with a bug. I stand corrected.

Does the Game of Life QR code example have a real seed? The rendered GIF looks fake, because the cells in the top left suddenly decide to become a QR code with no outside input (gliders, etc). Given that GPT-4 is a world-renowned snake oil salesman, I'd love to see the proof.

I started a new side project this weekend and began by explaining what I wanted to GPT4 and having it write the code, then I'd assemble it, fix a few bugs and it all basically worked.

I created 2 main components:

- Login with Github flow that saved the users username + organizations to a Google Sheet

- Signing a message and verifying the signature is correct.

Both I'd estimate would have taken me ~10 hours to implement (20 hours total, I'd never done either task before). With the help of GPT4 it took ~4 hours, so a 5x speed improvement.

The code it gives is pretty similar to what you'd find reading a tutorial or stack overflow questions, it just tailors it more to my use case.
Thats assuming modern humans, I was talking about ancient humans, before civilisation. You could argue thats where the creative mind shows up most, as there are very few humans to imitate.
Passionate people can cut corners because they want to see results.

If you want everything done "by the book", you want a pedantic anal retentive asshole. Unfortunately I never see that in job descriptions.
The problem is that most tasks require general intelligence at some point. So the question is more: given that in the vast majority of cases, weak-AI cannot go from "0 to 100%" how much should we care?

The whole "the sky is falling" schtick i think requires weak-AI systems to be getting very near 100%s reliably across industries. Anything even 90% and we're talking more about assisting and empowering users than replacing them.

> I’m having such a hard time finding a consistent ideology among conservatives

I'm having a hard time figuring out why you would expect to find one. The people who "vote conservative" do so for numerous different sorts of reasons, conservationism is not their root ideology, it is downstream of other disparate ideologies. A conservative voter who is Mormon has different motivations than a conservative voter who is a secular small business owner, and both have a different root ideology from an old school Catholic or an anti-communist Cuban-American.

Knowing this as I'm sure you do, why would you expect "conservatism", aka "voting for republicans", to be a consistent ideology? The people who do so were never all coming from the same ideological position in the first place.

Btw, the group of people who vote for democratic candidates also do so for a wide array of reasons, and don't all share much of a common and consistent ideology either. Welcome to the two-party system, in which innumerable ideologies get pigeonholed into two bins.
By not giving them any examples of language. I would expect humans to come up with a language, if not vocal, without guidance. I doubt GPT would do anything without training data to imitate.

Industrial revolution cities were famously a meat grinder though. Disease, poor quality accomodation, reckless safety considerations in early factories meant a lot of those displaced from rural artisan jobs to work in the cities literally died as a result.

Many of the new jobs' employees were from population growth, people that lived in the countryside thanks to the growth in food production that otherwise wouldn't have, then moved to the cities, etc, as sanitation improved a general fall in the death rate prior to the fall in the birth rate (but later than the initial migration to cities).

Nor was the city standard of living equivalent as people move from rural households (admittedly often multi generational ones, so more crowded than modern ones) to overcrowded tenements.

So the story people gloss over is that all the rural cobblers went to the city and became factory workers and everything is fine. But while it might be a reassuring story that _society_ survives and evolves, it's not at all clear that individuals did as well.

All I stated was that there's no reason for the issue of trade with China to be treated with kid gloves. That made sense 25-30 years ago when a vast majority of China was still in poverty and clearly still a developing country.

Now, China has several billionaires, globally-recognized companies, a growing military footprint, some of the top academic institutions on the planet, a billion+ people lifted out of poverty, etc. It's economy has the ability to stand on its own feet without the support of the USA.

China can play the protectionist card all they want to, but when they claim that their goal is to surpass the USA and EU , then both the US and EU need to play the same card in their backyard, too.
These are different statements.

Bing AI Chat actually searched for "are there cow eggs" before coming up with its answer: https://sl.bing.net/eDjeoPK4N76

> There is no such thing as cow eggs. Cows do not lay eggs. Chickens lay eggs that are commonly consumed by humans. The main difference between chicken eggs and other types of eggs is the way the chicken has been raised, treated, and fed. Different farming practices can affect the nutritional content of eggs12.
No, people just assume that they don't have one due to no RSS icon. `/feed` slug is standard for finding feeds these days.

After opening it, the first thing it does is to offer to opt-out of telemetry. That's good enough.

That said, after I denied it, when I go to Settings it says Telemetry: Enabled, even though the checkbox to enable it is unchecked. I have no idea which reflects my current settings.

Furthermore, after I selected to "Initialize Podman", the switcher is still in the "off" position. If I click it again, it says the VM already exists. I'm not sure how to stop it, or if it's even actually running.

Exactly. The ramifications of this tech will brake the current system for sure. Why someone will spend 15 years of his/her life studying medicine if by that time AI will replace him/her?

The more we keep going down the rabbit hole, the more we can see there's no utopia at the end of the tunnel. This is no hyperbole, we don't know what to expect if you automate everything.

Just look for some answers here:
- "Blue collar jobs are safe". Really? What happens when everyone is an electrician, plumber, taxi driver, etc...?

- "I use it to amplify my productivity". What happens when AI is so good that it can literally swap you

- "Just create a business around it". There's no competitive edge anymore. Everyone can do "everything" and won't need any expertise at all when AI gets "there".

I'm a SWE but I'm trying to purchase land and invest in things that AI can't replace, like food production, hehe. Agriculture will make a strong comeback this decade. Forget airbnb, a farm is where the $$$$$ is going to be, if not, ask Gates why is he buying land and becoming the biggest "farmer" in the US.

> What you describe as pausing and thinking is exactly letting your circuits run for longer - which again - is a decision made by said circuits who then informed your internal time keeper that "you" made said decision.

Yup, and it feels like ChatGPT might be able to approximate this by giving the model a "think longer" output that feeds the output back into itself. I'm actually curious if immediately prompting the model "are you sure" or something else a few times could get you a similar effect right now.
> That doesn't follow. If ZFC is trivially inconsistent then someone would probably have noticed by now and proved P && !P for some P and brought it crashing down.

Ahh, the classic economic argument, “that’s not a $100 bill on the sidewalk, because if it was, someone else would have picked it up already”.

That’s a great way of accepting everything blindly to justify not questioning things.

It also means you are using popularity as a measure of truth.

It’s fine if mathematicians don’t care if naturals are “actually infinite”, but then what’s the point in reasoning about infinity through math if technically you are not really saying anything, but you’re going in circles around your own definitions instead?
