The problem here is to equate AI speech with human speech. The AI doesn't "speak", only humans speak. The real slippery slope for me is this tendency of treating ChatGPT as some kind of proto-human entity. If people are willing to do that, then we're screwed either way (whether the AI is outputting racist content or excessively PI content). If you take the output of the AI and post it somewhere, it's on you, not the AI. You're saying it; it doesn't matter where it came from.
If you've used it a lot this year for coding like many people, you'll have found that you develop the ability to know when it doesn't know what it talks about.

Perhaps you're one of the people who think they're above it, and hence haven't developed that ability?
From my observations it's genetic. Just like people have different hair color, eye color, height, etc. I'm a morning person. I function well on 7.5hrs sleep. Within reason I can go to bed anytime and wake up less than 8hrs later. My wife is the typical owl. She sleeps till 10 and is barely functioning even after coffee until the early afternoon.

In my experience, it is easier to not fight your natural circadian cycle. Just organize your day to match your changing aptitudes.

Totally agree, GPT should be trained to spout adds and develop dark pattern behaviour.
To talk about OpenAi, Ilya Sutskever and Andrej Karpathy are much more known than Sam Altman.

I'm sure that if Ilya had been removed from his role, the revolt movement would have been similar.

I've started to like Sam only when he was removed from his position.
This is the only correct answer, if you don't like the boss of a social media company, you should just cut all ties with everyone on there. Then lock yourself into your room, never go outside again, and complain about it on HN.
The board never gave a believable explanation to justify firing Altman. So the staff simply made the sensible choice of following Altman. This isn't about critical thinking because there was nothing to think about.
> There is no real reason OSes get more shitty with every version

The reason is that there’s profit to be squeezed out with all the additional bloat.
Microsoft needs more Sam than Sam needs Microsoft. For sure.

Microsoft can lose a fortune if OpenAI disappears or becomes irrelevant. Sam is the key point. With Sam, Microsoft is safer.
"The public" is at best a distant observer. And they seem quite content with "big, shiny, and sounds cool" wastes of $billions, such as the Senate Launch System.

And which private interests? Much of what companies give to universities is status marker stuff, where research outcomes don't much matter. And in cases where some WidgetCo supports specific research, which is of practical interest to them - WidgetCo wants honest results for their research, and doesn't much care about fraud at other universities, or in other fields of study.
The politics are all that are left; it's impossible to use Twitter and not participate on some level.

For example, Twitter is now called X. Surely they noticed that.
Cafe discussions are not about „serious intellectual position“ though. And I've a feeling that lots of regular Westerners still believe in this myth. Or at least want to believe.

All-in-all, I think the most important part is to keep talking about what is in one's head. Pushing people to just get over it and change what is in their heads does not exactly work.
a hot pile of garbage at the very least.

why not use matrix bridges until EU DMA gets implemented at which point it should work out of the box
Obviously I know it is not the same person (you). It is still a straw man to the point of the discussion, you are still adding to the straw man and making strange claims, which at this points make me suspect that you simply do not understand it despite the explanation or are too blinded by ideological bias. Either way, that's a 'bye' from me because there is discussion possible ("we all know this" was a big red flag).

Lasty, his comment was indeed not factual because what he wrote about sidewalks in Europe is plainly BS (an I am an European).

There will always be misuse, less sexy, or downright illegal use cases leveraging any AI product these days - just as is the nature of the internet itself.
But still, during the time of Windows 95/98 I could hardly play even a 128kbps MP3 with WinAmp in my Pentium 133MHz with 12MB of Ram where I had got rid of lots of bloatware. At the same time I could play it smoothly in Linux with a full blown desktop environment (Window Maker) running. So it was a bad performer in comparison even back then.

Would you trust someone who doesn't believe in responsible governance for themselves, to apply responsible governance elsewhere?
Too many carbs at lunch tends to bring on a drowsy hour or so in the afternoon. It has to do with the glucose spike and absorption cycle. Coffee only marginally helps.
You're right, it must be shut down by law.

That should be much better.

I do not know exactly what they plan to do. But here's my thought...

Using a near-AGI to help align an ASI, then use the ASI to help prevent the development of unaligned AGI/ASI could be a means to a safer world.
As a teenager (70s) I was into, among other things, assembling balsa wood model airplanes. Does anyone even do that any more ?

It took some patience and some trust in own abilities w.r.t. a long-term goal.
So if you really wanted to get rid of the prior board & structure, it couldn’t have worked out better
Under long term heavy duty, I've routinely seen cheap modern platter outperform cheap brand name NVME.

There's some cost cutting somewhere. The NVMEs can't seem to sustain throughput.

It's been pretty disappointing to move I/O bound workloads over and not see notable improvements. The magnitude of data I'm talking about is 500-~3000GB

I've only got two NVME machines for what I'm doing so I'll gladly accept that it's coincidentally flaky bus hardware on two machines, but I haven't been impressed except for the first few seconds.

I know Everyone says otherwise which is why I brought it up. Someone tell me why I'm crazy

Edit: no, I'm not crazy. https://htwingnut.com/2022/03/06/review-leven-2tb-2-5-sata-s... this is similar to what I'm seeing with Crucial and Adata hardware, almost binary performance

[video] IDP-Z3: A truly declarative approach to programming
Following a HN post on the IDP-Z3 knowledge base system yesterday, you might be interested in a talk I gave at Fosdem earlier this year.
This is not particularly well written or enlightening. It’s almost ChatGPT-esque in its wandering tone and flowery prose. Makes the post-script chatGPT section even more strange.

This position more or less presumes he's "solved" how to develop it responsibly, just to be clear, as his desired pace is... accelerating.
That's obviously not what is meant by 'con', though. It's just composed of first gaining the trust of someone and then defrauding them. Forcing has nothing to do with it and would likely rule out the application of the term, since trust is an integral part of all cons. There has been no fraud yet proven, so it can't conclusively be called a con. On the other hand FTX can be called a con, as there was fraud. This is just running an overly unregulated exchange, which is still a crime but isn't fraud. This doesn't end the investigations though, there is an SEC probe into fraud by Binance still going on so while it currently can't be called a con, really, it's also the case that it could be in the future. Also, it can technically be said that Binance has taken commission and largely made its money from cons of other people that they simply enabled and took fees on, which wouldn't necessarily be incorrect. Whether that's illegal depends on whether there was conspiracy – you wouldn't indict BoA for wire fraud just because someone else used them to do wire fraud.

I tried XP on a PII 333 MHz laptop with 96 MB of RAM. This laptop came with Windows 95 or 98. It still works by the way.

It ran, but it was quite slow. Windows 2000 managed better. Windows 98 even more, but internet on Windows 98, maybe not the best thing to do. Linux even more.

I can't see 233 MHz and 64 MB being reasonable minima, more like very bare minima as in "it boots".

(of course, this does not contradict anything essential from your comment)
And he's also responsible for accelerating LLMs into the public domain. Something Google tried to cover up. Looks like the exact opposite of fear.

It could be as he says that he's accelerating it because it's going to happen anyway?? But the reasoning gets vague from here.

Anyway seems he's not entirely clear about his own stance or not entirely honest. But this isn't anything abnormal. Not even elon is.
Hate to be that pragmatic engineer...but wouldn't a decent balance between range and fast charging be nicer? I'd like to see the graph for capacity vs charging time for these cells.

I'm sure like any battery the charging gets slower over time as the battery warms up, so finding the sweet spot would be nice.

I'd quite like to buy an electric car and select an appropriate power bank based on this.

Also, why do the packs have to be permanent? Why not have the ability to add or remove modular cells as and when needed? Just add the capacity when you need it. Plug the unused cells into your solar array when you aren't using them.

That opens up a few options. Firstly, you can choose to power your house or your car, or of you need to get to work and you forgot to charge, you take the dead cells out and swap a fully charged set in. Leave the dead ones charging at home.

Have a modular system where battery swapping is possible doesnt seem to be a system that EV manufacturers have considered for some reason.
My mom had a quick fix for this. If we were spending too much time in front of the TV on a nice day, she'd simply come in the room and shut off the TV and tell us to go outside. Now!

Problem solved.

Can't this (admittedly blunt) technique translate to contemporary situations ?
What I'd want to say about Larry is that he is definitely not going to care about the whole-society non-profit shtick of the company to any degree comparable with the previous board members, so he won't constraint Sam/MS in any way
Fix everything that makes Mastodon a terrible user experience, get me and all the people I want to reach an invite to Bluesky or persuade people to start using Threads, and I'll happily switch.
For a second there, I genuinely thought you had a very smart dog!
Persuaded by whom? This whole saga has been opaque to pretty much everyone outside the handful of individuals directly negotiating with each other. This never was about a battle for OpenAI's mission or else the share of employees siding with Sam wouldn't have been that high.
I miss Mercurial, thankfully ToirtoiseGit is similar experience to the Mercurial and SVN clients, and like a large majority I just fix git issues by cloning from scratch as the famous xkcd comic.
Folding for pressure and group think is different things imo. You can be very aware you are folding for pressure, but doing it because it's the right/easy thing to do. While group think is more a phenomenon you are not aware of at all.
Nice, first thing I tried was to defrag the C: drive. Feeling well-groomed again.
I think the narrative that this was driven by safety concerns is pretty much bunk.
I usually love C and C language families, that's because they offer a familiar syntax and let you side-jump according to your curiosity and desire to learn.
This is where C3 completely fails, however. It feels like a dyslexic cross between C and Rust (the most dyslexic language ever. They felt the need to mangle/shorten every single keyword for "reasons").

fn void Stack.push() ? really? why did anyone thing "fn" in front of a procedure/function makes sense in a C language family?

Like saying Hi-hello, sir
You would expect the company that owns 49% of the shares to have some input in firing the CEO, why is that disappointing? If they had more control this shitshow would never have happened.
Still a conflict of interest. If D’Angelo has financial incentive to want OpenAI to fail, then this at odds with his duty to follow the OpenAI charter. It’s exactly why two of the previous board members left earlier this year.
You have some stuff to worth through, and I wish you the best with that.
Shortly followed by ‘thoughts and prayers’.

Most other countries probably have far less legal and/or ethically grey surveillance at their fingertips, and still dont have this problem.

Same here. I use TortoiseHg daily and propose the occasional contribution when something breaks/can be improved. It is really a project that has been chugging away for more than 15 years now.

There is no inconsistency here. You can believe that AI has serious risks while also believing it is overall worthwhile to develop and create it.

I'd rather have someone like Altman leading the charge on bringing AI to market as it is at least clear he has thought about and understands the risks. A lot of people who are criticising him appear it be in the "Don't pursue AI at all" camp which is the wrong call imo as it looks to be an enormous productivity and technology enhancer with the potential for clear benefits (already visible in things like personalised tutoring).
This.

The internet has become sort of a "third place", but since it has no precedent, none of us knew how to leverage it as such, so we have people glued to screens.

I have hope for the generation after gen Z though - my toddler knows exactly when I'm looking at my phone instead of giving her attention and in such instances proposes that I put it away.

It's very much like my generation annoyed at their parents who watch TV all day instead of interacting.
I don't understand how, with the dearth of information we currently have, anyone can see this as "higher values" vs "money".

No doubt people are motivated by money but it's not like the board is some infallible arbiter of AI ethics and safety. They made a hugely impactful decision without credible evidence that it was justified.

Is it really a failure of critical thinking? The employees know what position is popular, so even people who are mostly against the go-fast strategy can see that they get to work on this groundbreaking thing only if they toe the line.

It's also not surprising that people who are near the SV culture will think that AGI needs money to get developed, and that money in general is useful for the kind of business they are running. And that it's a business, not a charity.

I mean if OpenAI had been born in the Soviet Union or Scandinavia, maybe people would have somewhat different values, it's hard to know. But a thing that is founded by the posterboys for modern SV, it's gotta lean towards "money is mostly good".
I think you have a bit of a misunderstanding of what insulation is supposed to achieve.

If your home is meaningfully affected by the outdoor temperature it is very much not "well insulated".
There are still very distinct groups of people, some of whom are more worried about the "Skynet" type of safety, and some of who are more worried about the "political correctness" type of safety. (To use your terms, I disagree with the characterization of both of these.)
Bonus points for including sheep.exe. That was a welcome trip down memory lane.
its those kinds of examples that make it hard to cleave a measurement of success.

Based on those kinds of results an LLM should, in theory, be able to plan, analyze and suggest improvements, without the need for human intervention.

You will see rudimentary success for this as well - however, when you push the tool further, it will stop being... "logical".

I'd refine the point to saying that you will get some low hanging fruit in terms of syntactic prediction and semantic analysis.

But when you lean ON semantic ability, the model is no longer leaning on its syntactic data set, and it fails to generalize.
April Fools? If you run a monotonic stack and summation kinda algorithm on 11/21 you'd get 4/1 :-)
Can't be much harder than Calor gas cylinders.

The whole battery replacement situation is why EVs depreciate so much.

If swapping batteries in a modular system became a thing, the depreciation problem might shrink...it would also make EVs a lot more appealing to a significant number of people.
I don’t understand this comment. I’m quoting from this thread, from the post that I was responding to. What do you think I was talking about?
They can just work somewhere else with relative ease. Some OpenAI employees on Twitter said they were being bombarded by recruiters throughout until tonight's resolution. People have left OpenAI before and they are doing just fine.
Actually Haystack is very focused on RAG lately, just have a look at the latest blog articles: https://haystack.deepset.ai/blog

Yet again monetary selfishness wins over principle.

Maybe you should stay on Twitter.

Edit: Based on your website, who exactly are you trying to reach? Prospective clients? On Twitter?

You say "users of your app", but it seems like that isn't a huge volume of people, and were you to move to Bluesky, they would almost certainly follow... Unless it's not worth it for them?
Because veterans, children, people with illnesses or disabilities, people with or without children, religious denominations and ethnic groups, people over the age of 40, people with non-standard gender or sexual orientation, and a couple of other categories that I'm sure I haven't mentioned tend to have a history of being discriminated against in various arenas, and having fewer resources to address that discrimination.
It is a shame that we lost the ability to hold such companies to account (for now). But given the range of possibilities laid out before us, this is the better outcome. GPT-4 has increased my knowledge, my confidence, and my pleasure in learning and hacking. And perhaps it's relatives will fuel a revolution.

Reminds me of a quote: "A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery.

Let's not exaggerate: Winamp .mp3 playback was just fine on any Pentium running Windows 9x - though I concede that even my Pentium 75 had 16 MB RAM and I have never seen a Pentium with less than that.

On the other hand, extracting a CD and compressing it's .wav to .mp3 was a whole day of computing, and sending the files as attachments through SMTP was enough to elicit flowery vehement objections from my university's sysadmins and my friend's small ISP alike...
The most authoritative form of documentation that part of a system is considered a serious design flaw and should not be used in new code, is on xitter?

I hate these comments that potray as if every expert/scientist is just good at one thing and aren't particularly great at critical thinking/corporate politics.

Heck, there are 700 of them. All different humans, good at something, bad at some other things. But they are smart. And of course a good chunk of them would be good at corporate politics too.
Yes, but on the other hand, this whole thing has shown that OpenAI is not running smooth anymore, and probably never will again. You can't cut the head of the snake then attach it back later and expect it to move on slithering. Even if Sam stays, he won't be able to just do whatever he wants because in an organization as complex as OpenAI, there are thousands of unwritten rules and relationships and hidden processes that need to go smooth without the CEO's direct intervention (the CEO cannot be everywhere all the time). So, what this says to me (Sam being re-hired) is that the future OpenAI is now a watered-down, mere shadow of its former self.

I personally think it's weird if he really settles back in, especially given the other guys who resigned after the fact. There must be lots of other super exciting new things for him to do out there, and some pretty amazing leadership job offers from other companies. I'm not saying OpenAI will die out or anything, but surely it has shown a weak side.
That are three changes. Every arrow is one.
Come on, it was just a preparation for the upcoming IPO. Free ads in all news and TV.
She probably wants both companies to be successful. Board members are not super villains.
Despite having 14 years of experience with Git, I still can't use it without Stackoverflow for any non-daily task. And I've read the internals back in 2008 and understand this, but it doesn't make it any clear how merges, conflict resolution, or amendments to commits work. Absolutely confusing. In Mecrurial a lot more stuff is clear and easy to remember.

Example: I tried rebasing or merging, and got merge conflicts. Started resolving them, git-added some of files, but got stuck, and want to get back to the last commit. git-reset doesn't work. How do I get there? No idea. How does the knowledge of commit hashes, branches and staging area help me? It doesn't.
