> but wasn’t sure how they could make money given how many artists were on the service

I don't see how everyone being the would be negative :)

It might be the niches I like and it may be a bit self-selecting, but about 90% of artists (or more?) I really like are on there.
That's not accurate. They "acquire" it all, then "collect" it later from their databases upon request. So-called "incidental collection" is totally fair game for exploitation, defrauding courts, and perverting the course of justice.

For US citizens abroad, any filtering is obviously insufficient, as they couldn't generally know your foreign phone number or residential IP address belong to a US citizen. That doesn't even get into the government's claimed authorities under EO12333, or exactly what "communication facilities" they have obtained secret bulk collection FISA warrants for (likely VPNs, US Tor exits, etc.), or data received about US persons from collaborating foreign intelligence agencies.

I wasn't referring to the Federal Aviation Administration, and you'd know that if you were seriously engaged with this issue. It's not Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA), it's Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 Amendments Act of 2008 (FAA).

It's also important to note the distinction between the seizure of communications, which happens at massive scale without individualized suspicion, and the search of those communications when they "request" it, as you put it. The Constitution prohibits both unreasonable searches and seizures.

Considering Sen. Wyden has long sat on the SSCI, I assume his warning yesterday was about a new, different secret interpretation than the few court documents that were made public by Snowden et al. a decade ago.
I'm curious if TikTok will eventually attempt to give content about PRISM an algorithm boost to try and show that US companies are not better in terms of government data access. Might help keep users on their side.

What kind of developer is writing the sort of software that enables Amazon to do this? I can't help but feel these people are total garbage. We have so many opportunities. There's no excuse for writing software that tortures people the way they do at Amazon. Even if the developers didn't know that was the purpose for the software - then quit, stop maintaining it once you figure it out.

If you make this software for Amazon, then I hope you'll end up on the floor in the warehouse yourself. You deserve it.
The detailed description of the technique claims that the mode must be the high res page 1 for it to work. But it seems it should be possible to have a mirror of the code that works when page 2 is being shown.

It seems like it would be useful for basic page flipping (no split effects). Draw something on the off-page, and then poll for those vapor sequence to appear; flip the page and repeat.

Is this one of those situations where you need to threaten it with killing someone before it’s suddenly able to follow the instruction?
Right. I should have emphasized it more. But it is the closest thing people can try now without violating copyright laws.

Genera has an advanced command system and tools like Document Examiner, but the general experience is very close.
The apparent shallowness IMO is due to the lack of long term memory and limited context. In terms of depth, the depth of the human mind is fairly limited. Put any average human to task on any creative endeavor and it's surely a regurgitation of things they've seen. The high standard of true creativity that people hold LLM's to is only a capability of a small minority of humans.

I'd wager it's far more likely 5 years than 50 LLMs get to the full depths all humans are capable of. Simply compare the state of LLMs today vs 2018.
The easiest way is to let the RIAA, MPAA, and other such organizations tell you: https://lumendatabase.org/

Counterpoint: intentionally neutering a superior product lets you control how you react to competitors in the space. Judging by how obsessed this site is with OpenAI, I'd wager their strategy is working as-intended.

Are you saying that people who created ChatGPT don't understand how it works? Or that we the rest of people don't?
Nuclear bombs have also never caused anything to go extinct. That's no reason not to be cautious.

The path is pretty clear to me. An AI that can recreate an improved version of itself will cause an intelligence explosion. That is a mathematical tautology though it could turn out that it would plateau at some point due to physical limitations or whatever. And the situation then becomes: at some point, this AI will be smarter than us. And so, if it decides that we are in the way for one reason or another, it can decide to get rid of us and we would have as much chance of stopping it as chimpanzees would of stopping us if we decided to kill them off.

We do not, I think, have such a thing at this point but it doesn't feel far off with the coding capabilities that GPT4 has.
Finally, someone looked into a question that's been on my mind for my whole life.
Well not in the field he's a professional clickbaiter targeting a specific, well defined eco chamber.
Thank you. As I'm new to this field, I have been grappling with some concepts like GGML vs GPTQ models, etc. It seems the GPTQ models only run on Linux, so your suggestion is right to use llama.cpp as that works with GGML and is compatible with M1 Macs as well.

I had trouble running oobabooga on M1 Mac, something about Python arm64 vs x86_64...

I didn't know about GPT4-x-Vicuna that you mentioned. Interesting to see that it's uncensored. I knew about Wizard-Vicuna-uncensored though. It seems like GPT4-x-Vicuna is similar.
Or was that one of the training samples provided to gpt 3.5?

It is going to be increasingly harder to divide between what it was in the training set and what is creative thinking going forward.

Like, at the very minimum, all the publicly known reasoning samples that were used to probe gpt version 3.5 downward are going to be unreliable for knowing what gpt4 reasoning abilities are
Btw I think you're not correct about the 8 digit multiplication. I tried:

please could you multiply 12345678 by 87654321. Give your answer in steps. Each step should calculate one column at a time from right to left remembering to carry any digits which overflowed in a previous step. At the end add a final step adding the values up.

And it gave me the following, which I believe to be correct:

Sure, I'll be doing a long multiplication here, step by step, column by column from right to left. For brevity, I'll write the numbers to be multiplied as:

A: 12345678
B: 87654321

Step 1: Multiply the 1st digit of B by A:

1 * 12345678 = 12345678

Step 2: Multiply the 2nd digit of B by A, remember to shift one position to the left:

2 * 12345678 = 24691356 (shift one position to the left, i.e., append a 0 at the end)

Step 3: Multiply the 3rd digit of B by A, remember to shift two positions to the left:

... skip some of the answer because you get the gist....

7 * 12345678 = 86419746 (shift six positions to the left, i.e., append six 0s at the end)

Step 8: Multiply the 8th digit of B by A, remember to shift seven positions to the left:

8 * 12345678 = 98765424 (shift seven positions to the left, i.e., append seven 0s at the end)

Now, the last step is to add all these results together:

12345678

246913560
3703703400
49382712000
617283900000
7407406800000
86419746000000
987654240000000

= 1082152022374638

So, the result of 12345678 multiplied by 87654321 is 1082152022374638.
"And I think what they say, interestingly, is how much of our language is very much rote."

I've been saying that for a while. Large language model systems have made it painfully clear that much of what humans thought was intelligent behavior is rather banal.
The scary thing is that a sizable fraction of white-collar work is banal enough to be done by such systems.
If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?).

There was such a thing round 2007-2010. People on forums were opening free email accounts, then a desktop app was splitting files into chunks of predefined size and uploading them as emails. Individually each chunk was an encrypted chuink of 7z or zip archive, so it made no sense on its own, but the client was building a repository of email account and email IDs. This index was then shared with other people on a forum and you could download Shrek.

You could ask me a difficult scientific question which I wouldn't even understand. But I could google and find a scientific paper which I would pass to you. You could say fantastic answer, thanks. But I would have no clue as to whether it is or is not. Now if I could just do that fast enough to serve all the people all the time, you would call me a sensation. I think this is what's happening with LLMs.
You can get 1 bit transparency with 24 bit colour by simply picking a colour and using it as a mask - back in the day, I'd usually use pink - 255,0,255.

The fog could be done via greyscale, with something like:

col = 0,0,0,clamp(inp.r + sin(time) * 0.5,0,1)

The glow worm additive sprite could just be distance based in the shader.

(I didn't look at the code itself if it's available, so this is just my impression based on the supplied screenshot gif).
Yes, but you're not going to like the answer. Despite many industry professionals on this site, there is a large number who, by most definitions, never had a real job. Nothing wrong with that, but they're real loud, and they like to put down proven reliable solutions because they cost too much, and then slap on random terms like "zfs" that magically fix all problems.

The equivalent is in short "look at what the enterprise storage vendors are putting in their arrays, at 10x markup. (No, shiny things like Pure/Rubrik/Cohesity are not enterprise storage).

It all depends what you're putting on things. If you buy 5 drives from Newegg for your house and double-parity them or do zfs checksums, etc., you're going to have a bad time when a bunch fail at around the same time because it's an issue with the drive. Yet you do kinda want all the same/alike drives, because the stripe is only as fast as the slowest drive.

So look at what all the vendors picked after they tested the crap out thousands of them all. Me, I personally just mirror everything between two machines with different brand drives, and hope they won't fail at the same time. Once a year I dump an image of everything on an offline big-ass drive - the cheapest spinning big rust that I can buy - and call that my "airgapped vault."

It's interesting. The answer shows some reasoning about weight and pressure but not curvature. In response to

Here we have a book, an egg, a laptop, a bottle and a nail. Please tell me how to stack them onto each other in a stable manner.

GPT-4 gives me:

Arranging objects in a stable stack depends on their size, shape, and weight. In general, you want to place the largest, heaviest and most stable objects at the bottom and then move to the smallest, lightest, and least stable at the top. Here's one way to stack the objects you listed:

Laptop: Start with the laptop at the bottom. It's likely the largest object and it has a flat, stable surface.

Book: Next, put the book on top of the laptop. Books are generally flat and heavy, which makes them a good choice for the base of your stack.

Bottle: The bottle goes next, as it should have a flat bottom to sit securely on the book. Just make sure it's closed tight and won't roll away!

Egg: The egg is delicate, so it should be towards the top to avoid pressure. However, it's not flat, so it should not be at the very top.

Nail: Finally, the nail goes on top. It's the smallest and lightest, so it won't add much pressure to the egg.

Remember that this is just one possible way to stack these items and it could depend on the specific characteristics of the items you have. For example, if the bottle is much larger and heavier than the book or laptop, you'd need to adjust accordingly. Safety should always be your first priority when stacking items, especially if they are delicate or valuable.

The "make sure it's closed tight and won't roll away" comment makes no sense obviously. Most people would place the bottle standing on its end so neither of those is a concern. The response also doesn't show an understanding of the fact that the nail won't sit on top of the egg although it's interestingly concerned with pressure breaking the egg.

Genera also had S-Graphics (a suite of 2d and 3d graphics software and a bunch of hardware for it), which was used in the graphics demo linked above. The software and the computers to run it were commercially sold and used in TV and animation studios. A lot of the early 2d and 3d animation in commercials on TV were done with S-Graphics. There is no comparable thing in the MIT software.

For example S-Graphics was used for this Apple introductory video for the Macintosh IIfx (1990).

In that scenario, I believe a current LLM would "understand" chess. It would know how to play the game, it would know what being a grandmaster means, and it would know the heuristics and algorithms for evaluating a given game state. But it would not be able to implement an optimized solver to actually play the game efficiently. To do that would require it to also have all the knowledge about computer science.

Hence the dream of singularity. Can you teach ChatGPT to build AlphaZero?
Not the poster, but for me it comes down to a mix of clarity and permanence.

I teach both verbally (interactive question/answer) and I've also written text books.

Verbally by language is "loose". I'll say class when I mean object, unicode when I mean utf-8 and so on. Sentences are not all well formed, and sometimes change mid-thought. It's very "real time"

Writing is a lot more deliberate. I have to be sure of each fact I state. I often re-test things I'm only 95% sure about. I edit, restructure, remove, add, until I'm happy.

Of course all communication falls on a spectrum. Think phone call at one end, text book on the other. When I do a verbal lecture I'm usually careful with my speech, and when I post on hacker-news less rigorous.

Language covers all of it. Text skews to the more deliberate side. Cunningly the language models are trained using (mostly) text, not speech. That will have an impact on them.
That program is too far gone.
