The rumor that FDR had his head frozen and has been brought back as chatGTP must be true:)
Those LLMs have an incredible ability to echo knowledge from their learning set that people can't find otherwise.

So, if you keep asking really superficial questions, you will probably get most answers either correct or wrong by some obvious inversion or single change that can be verified easily.

don't get me wrong, a chatbox is absolutely the worst interface for that kind of interaction. Search would be much better. But the big search companies seem to use all of their resources to make search worse, while investing heavily on good chatboxes, so we got here.
I did Philosophy at uni; one of the textbooks was Anarchy, State and Utopia, by Robert Nozick.

At the time I thought it was satire, or at least tongue-in-cheek. But it's nowadays treated very seriously by neo-liberal nutters. I guess I was wrong.
In a concurrent environment Go is not guaranteed memory safe, leaving you exposed to silent errors of value ... which for Fintech is just suicidal.
Presumably most viewers have chosen that echo chamber, so it really isn’t the same to compare it.

Also Fox News has only a few million viewers each night e.g. “Fox News Channel coasted to an easy win in prime time Monday night, delivering an average total audience of 2.351 million viewers”.
No, it was mostly so cautious it only worked under very strict conditions (ie https and www had to be present or only certain domains) to the point of being useless. Others got quite a lot wrong such as reddit regularly cutting off valid links that left you having to manually copy the entire link anyways.

The same exact security issues that are present here with .zip are also possible with unintended links.
GPT is a marvel and as far as I can see those who are working with it are all in awe and I don’t think Simon himself has ever said otherwise, unless I misread you and you meant other people. That would be understandable though as it is easy to misunderstand and misalign GPT and family’s unbounded potential.

The concern is that people building people-facing or people-handling automation will end up putting their abstractions on the road before inventing seatbelts — and waiting for a Volvo to pop up out of mushrooms isn’t going to be enough in case haste leads to nuclear waste.

It is a policy issue as much as it is an experience issue. What we don’t want is policymakers breaking the hammers galvanized by such an event. And with Hinton and colleagues strongly in favor of pauses and whatnot, we absolutely don’t want to give them another argument.
The last time I had to participate in a RHEL install, the installer would do ext4 if <16TB, xfs if >16TB.

I find this size unusually arbitrary, but I suspect Red Hat found unwanted behavior in some ext related code. This was after the known issue in e2fsprogs that was fixed around a decade ago preventing fscking of >16TB; RHEL of a decade ago was either "xfs by default" or "xfs if >2TB" or similar, and the installer clearly changed since then.

Casual Googling also says my experience with "RHEL says XFS > 16TB" is out of date, and its now "XFS > 100TB". And like, look, if you're doing 100TB, use ZFS, stop fucking around and do it right.
Every group believes they hold the moral high ground. Mortality is subjective and perception flawed.
I should have worded it better - one mistake is not low quality indeed. What i had in my mind at the time is that if we do have some low quality teachers it means we should improve the system not adopt a known to be wrong tool.

Back in the day when the internet was becoming popular there were loads of similar stories (likely openai’s marketing team is familiar with these) about people using the internet to learn.

Recent times are proof that that was a mistake for many.
The numerous delayed vehicle launches and removed executives over an inability to effectively deliver software solutions, combined with the unending stream of software related recalls, provides some potential counterpoints.

It's quite possible to develop in Rust for Windows without using Windows.

Try my open source "ui-mock".[1] This is a test of the cross-platform stack. Just get the repository with "git clone", and make sure you have Rust installed for target "x86_64-pc-windows-gnu". See the Cargo.toml file for build instructions.

This is a game-type user interface. It's just some menus and a 3D cube. It doesn't do much, but it exercises all the lower levels. This allows debugging cross-platform problems in a simple environment. The main crates used are winit (cross-plaform window event handling), wgpu (cross-plaform GPU handling), rfd (cross-platform file dialogs), keychain (cross-platform password storage), egui (Rust-native menus and dialogs), and rend3 (safe interface to wgpu). For graphics, it uses Vulkan, so it will run on Windows back to the last release of Windows 7. Not Windows 95, though; it's 64-bit. It will also run under Wine, so you don't even need a Windows system to test.

My metaverse client uses the same stack. It's compiled on Linux, and runs on both Linux and Windows. So I'm building a high-performance 3D graphics program for Windows without even owning a Windows system or using any Microsoft software.

In 1610, Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei first observed the features through a telescope, although he didn’t know what they were. (Galileo’s original drawings make the rings look a bit like the handles on a water jug).

They are made mostly of ice, which I didn't know, and may be raining down onto the planet. They could disappear in 100 million years.

From the article:

> This is crucially important. This is not an attack against the AI models themselves. This is an attack against the stuff which developers like us are building on top of them.

That seems more like a community service, really. If you're building on the platform it's probably a relief to know somebody's working on this stuff before it impacts your customers.
It matters somewhat. I had a coworker who used to avoid parens any time it was possible which I found incredibly annoying:

"foo bar"
.split(" ")
.map(&:capitalize)
.join " "

There is really no advantage to not putting parens for the `join` call. Meanwhile, it makes modification a pain as well as makes for some ugly diffs.

But as a sibling comment mentioned: just use a linter.
You signed the contract. You agreed to it, it doesn’t matter how one sided it was. You could sign a contract to eat shit for a dollar. You’re correct in that some countries restrict consent between individuals.
>Why cant the workers pool their available capital, [...] Tech workers are considered to be highly paid,

The highly-paid workers can pool capital... if we're speaking in hypotheticals. The hypothetical tech workers can hypothetically pool their capital together to form a 100% worker-owned co-operative.

On the other hand, my comments are explaining what real people have been doing in the real world. E.g. ex-Google employee Kevin Systrom didn't form Instagram as a workers co-op. And ex-Yahoo employees Jan Kuom and Brian Acton also didn't form WhatsApp as a workers co-op. They could have -- hypothetically -- but they didn't. (Those startups did have Incentive Stock Options but that's not the workers ownership people are thinking about when speaking of "workers co-op".)

We can see that most ex-employees with access to money do not form co-ops. Why? The ex-employees-now-the-founders see no financial incentive to do so.

The workers who actually _want_ co-ops are not the ones out there creating new companies.
I don't recall it being snappy and I also recall it being crashy. But it was a lot better than what came before it. Given the hibernation Apple was in at the time, it was the best alternative. Between the 95 launch and OS X 10.3 was the only time I used Windows as my daily driver.
This is a lesson in combining poor user behaviour with warped incentives.

Low-end cartridge printers are often sold at cost or a loss. Why? Because they make the money back on cartridges. That's why you see silly things like this because third-party ink and cartridges destroys that business model. But that business model only exists because users make decisions based on sticker price for the printer. Running costs rarely enter the picture.

I saw once a camera store owner said he might sometimes make $1 selling a DSLR and then $10 on a $17 UV filter to go with it. Fast food burger places suffer from this too. McDonalds sells burgers at cost pretty much. They make all their money on the drinks and fries. The so-called "value" in meal deals is pretty much pure profit.

If you print any kind of volume, never ever buy a cartridge inkjet printer. Buy a tank printer instead.

As an aside, this issue isn't as simple as people make it out to be. The issue comes up with (for example) iPhone accessories. You can't justify Apple's prices but it's also not true that all third-party products are produced equal. Anker, in general, makes excellent products but some third-party chargers have killed people [1].

I'm sure most third-party cartridges are fine but that's not necessarily true either. Third-party manufacturers are incentivized to make things as cheap as possible. Will that ink print as well? Will it degrade printer performance over time? Who knows? It's another thing you have to worry about and that's also why these companies don't like third-party products because if poor ink clogs up a printer, who is going to get blamed?

Obviously though it's mostly the greed thing though.

I'm using a ~$100 Amazon Fire 8 right now. Is it speedy? Is the hardware amazing? Hell no but it's good enough, cheap enough and feels like it's built out of old Game Boys so I have no problem tossing it around. And it even runs Emacs unlike my old far more expensive and powerful iPad Pro.
It could have to do with the massive usage of JavaScript.

But, I only see this happening in the JavaScript space.

There seems to be something intrinsically wrong with JavaScript and NodeJS that a lot of the tools used to manipulate the language is written in other languages.
I've had my Brother laser printer for 10 years, only changed the toner cartridge once, and it immediately starts printing when you need it to. One of the best purchases I ever made!
This assumption is a good indication that relying on chatgpt for learning is perhaps not the best way forward.
I think I can objectively say no. If I'm unfamiliar with a term used in a domain, and ChatGPT tells me what the term is, then I've learned something. If I google it and read a page of stack overflow answers that tells me the same thing just completely out the context in which the information was originally presented then I've also learned something, it just took me a lot longer.

The idea that everything the chat bot is saying is wrong is just... well, wrong. You should take it with the same skepticism you would anything else you read on the internet, but I've found ChatGPT4 is still a very valuable tool to have.
I get it. This topic understandably elicits strong emotions!
The problem of Spain is intense anthropogenic land (mis-)use including deforestation and mining, which led to the desertification especially in the south in the first place; this has been happening since pre-historic times. So, no, there shouldn't be deserts in Spain right now, and they are for the most part not natural. Read further here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00346...

My dream job would be to get hired directly by higher ups (board, VPs, etc.) and be given authority to hunt down and fix idiotic stuff like this.

It is a fantasy because seemingly stupid stuff often has relatively good reasons to exist, but boy would I have a field day at most big tech companies.

There was a DoJ decision to be slow and steady on the classified information litigation probe [0]. Going fast can cause mistakes to arise, which can cause cases to be thrown out due to technicalities.

How do we get rid of it?

Can you get rid of it? No. Doing so would result in the loss of many important rights and have unintended consequences. Not even China can get rid of this. BUT that doesn't mean you can't put regulations and limitations on them.

As one example, we may want to make laws that ensure that ads are easily recognizable as ads. I'm referencing Native Advertising. I want to use an example from the NYT[0] that is marked, to give an example of how nefarious this can actually be. The article itself only mentions the show once, in the middle, and mostly discusses women's lives in prison. It would not be surprising to believe that this is not an ad but actually a news story. It is both, but that's why it is nefarious. Is this ad easily recognizable? Even with the notice?

We can talk about dark patterns (native advertising might be one), and prevent many of them. Not allowing for bait and switches. Ensuring that options are easily conveyed. I don't think it matters which side of the political spectrum you're on or many of your philosophical ideals, but tricking people into buying things they don't want or need is not ethical. We live in a specialized world and one person can't be an expert in everything. If the game is supercomputers and teams of psychologists and lawyers against individuals then I think we all know this is an unfair game. We have to talk about how to level this playing field if we want to preserve individual freedoms and safety.

So I know this doesn't really answer your question, and the truth is that I don't have a good answer. I think the topic itself is surprisingly complicated and we need to think carefully about it. The path we're going down clearly isn't acceptable to most people. But overreacting will also be similarly bad. We need to have a tough social conversation and figure out what we want together. We have to learn, a lot, because this is nuanced. We have to be open to being wrong, with a focus on learning and improving rather than asserting our positions (because they are all wrong in some form or another). Which that might be the hardest thing of all, but if we can do this then we can solve a lot more problems. Maybe this is the great filter?

A Chatbot could create fake scientific papers, right?
On the other hand, this is one aspect that makes those ligatures typographically jarring to me. It replaces one compromise with another bad compromise.
If you sell unique, valuable items way below their value then all you’re doing is creating a secondary market for scalpers/squatters to thrive, which is terrible for everyone. Having premium domains means they can be priced correctly, killing squatting, bringing more revenue to the registrar, and actually lowering prices for users that are not using automated bots at scale. Domain squatting is rent-seeking, this reduces that activity.

> Why would I go and try to break my hammer when I need it to actually put the nails in?

You're confusing prompt injection with jailbreaking. The danger of prompt injection is that when your GPT tool processes 3rd-party text, someone else reprograms its instructions and causes it to attack you or abuse the privileges you've given it in some way.

> spreading basically FUD around GPT

My impression is that Simon is extremely bullish on GPT and regularly writes positively about it. The one negative that Simon (very correctly) points out is that GPT is vulnerable to prompt injection and that this is a very serious problem with no known solution that limits applications.

If that counts as FUD, then... I don't know what to say to that.

If anything, prompt injection isn't getting hammered hard enough. Look at the replies to this article; they're filled with people asking the same questions that have been answered over and over again, even questions that are answered in the linked presentation itself. People don't understand the risks, and they don't understand the scope of the problem, and given that we're seeing LLMs wired up to military applications now, it seems worthwhile to try and educate people in the tech sector about the risks.
I used to love Opinionated Monothlic. I still do but I used to too.

Using YouTube in Safari with AdGuard works. Not sure if it’s possible to block ads in the YouTube app.
I see it as more there are degrees of "consciousness" (whatever it is). Human consciousness varies in a single human over time (sleeping, tired, alert, drunk etc) and the range appears to vary (let alone across species, I'd grant dogs a possible overlap, having been outstarted by them more than once).
They couldn't use it as a distraction if they did that.
If the last decade has taught us anything, it is that a lot of people will not "yell bullshit at the TV".
Exploring ChatGPT vs. open-source models on slightly harder tasks
While I generally agree, there's something more immediate. All of us having this view can refuse to ever buy or even use HP products, and explain to anyone and everyone at every opportunity exactly why this is.

Boycotts can be immensely powerful, and strike fear into the hearts of those who would exploit us.

Personally, I will never buy an HP product again. Absolute, permanent blacklist.

It's simply way too disgusting to me that they would even consider doing this, let alone actually carry it out.

What must they think of their customers? It's unforgivable.
Is there anything HP has made in the last 20 years that was actually good? It seems like their MO in recent history is to make flimsy, garbage products, heavily market them, and build in restrictions to force you to buy more of their crap. They're worse than Canon, since at least Canon still makes fairly decent cameras.
Implying that Black culture promotes murder and rape is quite literally racism.
I'm going to go out on a limb here with the way you've consistently dodged whether you think this is acceptable behavior and say that even if I brought up another example, Yoel Roth, you still would have a way of doing gymnastics around it.
It’s basically a vacuum for any and all data that categorizes and raises relevant insights to the end user while making it “easy” to find what one is looking for. Fairly straightforward. I think the value add is that this isn’t really available on government networks to this scale. I know lots of people who love their software, and many who dislike it.

Every part of the government, particularly defense, is made of closed-off enclaves with their own unique integration or deployment constraints, which leads to needing “forward deployed engineers” to integrate their platform for each program. This is part of the scale issue, another part is that there are only so many customers. This isn’t really like infosys at all because these engineers are not only paid very well, but they’re not straight up staff augmentation (though they can be to some degree, sometimes, especially during the training phase of getting the users to understand the platform).

Everything you said in this comment is way off I think.
"In 2021, Neely was arrested after punching a 67-year-old woman in the head, severely injuring her and landing him in Rikers Island, New York City’s notorious jail, on charges of second-degree assault. A judge released him in February, as part of a plea deal requiring him to stay at an intensive inpatient treatment center for 15 months.

But he walked out after 13 days and disappeared. Less than three months later, Jordan Neely was dead."

>Corporate fines just end up being passed on to workers who had nothing to do with the decision. "We had to (lay off 10% of our workforce|cut worker pay by 10%|etc.) because of these unfair fines."

This is like "if you raise the minimum wage we'll only have to lay people off" which is equally self serving and utterly, completely wrong.

Employees dont pay. Shareholders pay. If they could have fired 1 employee and collected a bit of extra profit they would already have done so.

That's a good point. I don't know of any other gaming franchise which tries to reinvent itself basically every time. (Maybe Final Fantasy is similar, though I haven't played any of those games.)
I think most people would say that when you don't experience time passing, you're not conscious at that time. (For example, when you're asleep and not dreaming.) It's pretty clear that a chatbot cannot experience time as we do.

Also, it actually is the case that ChatGPT API calls are stateless. This means it can't have any extra short-term memory other than what's written down in the chat session. It doesn't forget what it wrote in a few minutes, for forgets it immediately.

That means that you ask it why it wrote what it did, it's starting from scratch, the same way a different writer would.

I'm not sure what we should conclude from people who have severe memory problems? I've read about them, but I have hardly any direct experience. How about you?
