  1. Yes, but how is it defined and measured?

  2. Except the only thing that's "public" is the user interface. OpenAI should be more aptly called ClosedAI.

  3. It's mind boggling

  4. The fun thing is we now have a new hype with ChatGPT. People are just easily excited with shiny objects. The funny thing is that people are jumping on GPT for generating text like mad. But generating text is really a very small subset of the use of AI in businesses.

  5. OMG 😮

  6. The real challenge is not some sort of group who controls everything. The real challenge are the vast number of people who have made up their minds that such a group exists against all logical reason and evidence. See comments below.

  7. And wrong - the cruft has since built to whole layers of sticky ugly molds.

  8. Well that's a naive way of looking at politicians' motivation. Some may start out that way and even hold on to this idea of altruistic policy making on behalf of their voters. Reality speaks a different language, and it talks money.

  9. On replication, fascinating thoughts. The interesting thing is that we are not generally aware of the layers upon layers of things that must fall in place for nature to create. And it's a miracle that it works so flawlessly almost everytime.

  10. I think Lex sincerely disregards the role of aerosols and mutants in the danger of corona virus. He should require himself and his guests to wear masks when interviewing people inside for hours on end. Or rather he should do it online or outside.

  11. You can't just calculate some stuff and call that "proof", absent of any actual evidence.

  12. Have these guys ever spoken to a business person? No way they will ever build a technical system, not in English not in anything else.

  13. He doesn't know

  14. "Do humans have an impact on climate change?" - Probably yes. "Is the climate primarily influenced by human burning of fossile fuel?" - Probably no. It hasn't for the last 13000 years, yet it has been warming and there has been significant sea level rise. Sure there is more of both now as far as we can tell, though the numbers (net CO2 volume by humans) make it unlikely that humans are the major (key) driver of change.

  15. Lex. Nobody can be their best version of themsleves all the time.

  16. It's just formulae. Maths + data. Nothing else. If you think GPT is conscious then by the same argument, any machine must be too.

  17.  @scottlong1552  why these days disagreement is often expressed using a personal slur? So totally unnecessary.

  18. Why would he do that?

  19. Same here. And for the same reason I work as a single consultant only, or in a team of single consultants.

  20. Even if everyone had different passwords everywhere, we still need 2FA. Reason being simple passwords are just not safe.

  21. He is totally on point about debuggers. It boggles my mind that so few people know how to use a debugger efficiently. Also tests. Write more tests people.

  22. This! 👆 thank you

  23.  @n4rzul  these models only work by using what is there already. The human mind is capable of conceiving completely new ideas that have no basis whatsoever in reality. These models can't. Also the human mind is capable of logic and mathematical thinking. These models cannot do that. All they do is predict the most likely next word that appears probably right, given all the input the model has previously seen.

  24. "Open mind" means to accept facts despite belief. It does not mean to accept beliefs in absence of facts, which is what UFO fans seem to think.

  25. Perhaps some power used bioengineering on us to make us from Neanderthals?

  26.  @daanisch  we KNOW how these models work. There is nothing in these models that takes decisions other than mapping floating point values to words.

  27. I'm sure there are applications for this, but meetings are not one of them, unless its become much less intrusive and more emersive. For example the goggles must go away and be integrated in bog standard glasses, or lenses, or implants.

  28. It has always been difficult. Meet them in RL and be nice.

  29. Humans are probably the robotic ("artificial") life form created by some ancient civizilation that came to earth to exploit it, and humans were dedicated to doing the grunt work. Why they have, if they did, we might never know.

  30. Unit tests?

  31. Lex has a new studio / background? Nice

  33. "We are always in ketchup mode" - that pretty much sums it up (pun intended).

  34. GPT does not understand anything. Like nothing, nada, zero, silch. All it does is generate one word after another subject to the probability distribution of word sequences it knows from training, conditioned on a users prompt. That's it. Just math.

  35. The West will not be blackmailed by a perceived lack of energy.

  36. I think his definition of intelligence lacks a crucial aspect, namely self motivation. AI technology does not have any self motivation, they are tools at our command. Very different. With his definition dish washers would be intelligent: it solves a problem (lack of time) and attains a goal (have clean dishes).

  37. All ML models, including GPT-n are machines. There is no conciousness. For starters there is no self. Also next token prediction is not intelligence. It's just statistics. Personally I fear not the machines but the people who think they are entitled to rule the world.

  38. My ability to compartmentalize ChatGPT the service from OpenAI the company and his CEO is amazing.

  40. You can't teach an LLM to say "I don't know". LLMs don't know anything so they can't know when they don't. LLMs are just huge math formulae.

  41. No it's not

  42. Better as in ?

  43. It is still no question that being vaccinated against COVID is better than not to be. The science is clearly in favor of being vaccinated, regardless of perceived personal risk. The truth is that nobody knows who is vulnerable. Regardless, don't get infected is still the best protection against all risk.

  44.  @cotch40  the same as you do, except I know the science and you choose to ignore it

  45. Governments haven't even tried to stop bitcoin. Wait till they do, it will go to zero in literally minutes. The annoncement will go something like this: "Central banks have outlawed all crypotcurrency as of <date>. Anyone trading in crypto will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law". Once that happened, FOLE will kick in (fear of losing everything), price will dwindle to zero. Peter Thiel is a private investor. He does not attain government power. His arguments are very much like what lead to the first internet boom bubble. It didn't end well. IMHO this guy is just too young to appreciate what's relevant and what's not. Bitcoin is not. Sorry to spoil the party.

  46. That is funny, but also literally not true.

  47. Computer Networking was invented in the 1960ies, if not earlier

  49. Lex you realize that we are trading performance for precision again right?
