I think it's fine to work on and release these models, where things fall apart is in how some large companies market them.

- aww_dang 4y agoThere are people who believe explicit works of fiction. Marvel movies come to mind. I'll know we've arrived when super hero films begin with a disclaimer. The runtime of the podcast was 1:34:27
- bradrn 4y ago> I'll know we've arrived when super hero films begin with a disclaimer. That kind of thing has already been happening for quite a while, though. Books have long had disclaimers along the lines of ‘the following events and characters are entirely fictional and are not based on any people from the real world’ — I recall seeing them in e.g. Wodehouse’s books from the 1940s, so it’s not like it’s a new thing.
- musingsole 4y agoThose warnings are more a protection for libel lawsuits than they are about warning that the contained fictional story is fictional.
- m_ke 4y agoWeird, it shows up as 1:40 long for me. It's the last 5 minutes of the episode, where they claim GPT-3 is an all knowing machine that will generate factual responses to any question in a way that's superior to google search.
- HDThoreaun 4y agoMy dad is a doctor who oversees residents. Seems like half the time they call him for advice he just puts their question into gpt-3 and regurgitates it’s answer, so bill isn’t the only one.

- imtringued 4y agoIt sounds like someone is making fun of their dad for sounding like a robot.
- trompetenaccoun 4y agoReligion comes to mind as well. It's not a new development, many simply follow what they're told by authorities or thought leaders.
