So ChatGPT can’t do basic maths or can I get it to write functional code most of the time, but we’re going to have it control expensive pieces of hardware ? I don’t get it ? I wish I did…

This is the first year of general purpose language AIs broadly available to the public. The best way to improve it quick is to throw complex things at it.

  It also says later in the video a roboticist will check the code instead of naively relying on ChatGPTs generated code. So it’s probably not dissimilar to people trying to code with ChatGPT today.

I think "get it to write functional code most of the time" severely discounts the value of the code produced by ChatGPT. Knowing zero Swift (but being an SDE), I was able to build an audio plugin for Logic Pro X in a day, by leveraging ChatGPT. I'd previously tried this twice, and gave up because of the learning curve and my lack of free time. It's the most insane 0% to 80% tool I've ever seen.

  That’s cool. I’m personally looking forward to when I can use a ChatGPT yo build my own ChatGPT and make tons of money out of it too ! It’s pretty interesting because soon absolutely No business will be safe. All tech, most apps, everything can just be stolen as fast as ChatGPT can write it. I’d go as far to say as ChatGPT itself is vulnerable to this ? Am I wrong ? I’ve been working on a startup and I’m actually really evaluating if it’s worth the time now. I mean it could be stolen pretty fast. Not sure how to reconcile it all yet. Make my an app which is functionally the same as Netflix, then write the deployment code so it runs on AWS. Ha. Microsoft and Open AI will may benefit a lot from ChatGPT, but it might eat itself too.

    You can already ask it to put together various PyTorch scripts for ML stuff. Thinking about it as businesses or jobs "not being safe" is the wrong tack though. This technology is going to 10x everything it touches, yes it'll be messy while we figure things out but in the end everyone is going to be a lot more productive.

    I think your worries are very valid, and I agree that this could be a level step change in the consolidation of power that we already see among a few extremely powerful entities. Another observation worth noting is that SDEs who embrace this technology immediately are going to absolutely smoke past those who ignore it, and the gap will continue to widen as time wears on. Imagine having a slightly dumbed down SDE 1 or 2 (eventually 3) slave that can work 24/7. It will completely redefine what "entry level" means for software engineers.

      How do you suggest people embrace this technology for coding ? Turn on Copilot?

I think they're trying to capitalize the hype around it before Trough of Disillusionment (hype cycle).

  I’m honestly starting to think the same thing. Obviously it’s cool tech and it feels like we’re in the verge of the singularity at times, then at other times it all feels like bullshit. Some very smart people I work with said they’ve gone off using it because it’s really not that useful and the novelty has warn off. Ultimately, OpenAI can’t keep control of this tech alone, forever. Fundamentally they must know this. If a LLM can make anything, it can replace OpenAI and Microsoft too. It’s a double edge sword. Probably wise to milk the hell out of it.

Small animal brains can’t write any code at all, but they’re great a moving around the real world. It’s almost like code and locomotion are two separate problems, and failure in one doesn’t say anything about the difficulty of the other.

We seem to be going through a similar phase which reinforcement learning went through at the peak of its hype. Test on literally anything and everything and see how far you can run with it. Next up, chatGPT plays League of Legends.

  Your comment is actually pretty funny given that the thing that makes ChatGPT so much more successful than GPT-3 is the application of reinforcement learning. [0] [0] https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/how-chatgpt-actually-works/ https://www.assemblyai.com/blog/how-chatgpt-actually-works/

    I'm aware, not that it makes a difference to my comment.

... have you met the average person with a driver's license?
