Very curious, have you looked at transformer models in depth?
- chatmasta 4y agoI'm gonna pay sama for GPT-4 tomorrow, but for now my experience is limited to GPT-3.5. So far, my assessment is that human intelligence is much less interesting than we thought.
- neximo64 4y agoIm wondering whether your opinion is from using the product or delving into transformers. It seems like the former and you should probably spend some more time in the latter.
- chatmasta 4y agoI'm intentionally taking it slow with transformers. I'm still struggling with whether consciousness is a totally emergent property from a shared language.
- neximo64 4y agoWouldn't you be able the say the same thing with single cells, the biological kind.
- cjbprime 4y agoI don't expect that language is required. Using input frames of video (or any other complex sensory input) instead of words might work too. Transformers are a tool for building representations from high-dimensional data sources. Also, I don't think GPT-4 is conscious. If you ask it whether it is, it will say no. It does not appear to exhibit preferences or anything like suffering.
- ShamelessC 4y agoCan somebody explain that nickname “sama” - how is that supposed to be pronounced? If it’s “like Sam A.”, then that’s a terrible nickname. If it’s “like sam-uh” - what gives? That’s not how Sam Altman sounds? I realize it’s a little absurd to be upset over a nickname but it somehow like really triggers me to see “sama” (lowercase, too!) so many times in one weekend.

- ShamelessC 4y agoThank you. Sanity restored.
