ChatGPT is fabulously creative if you tell it to use improbable responses: "If internal consistency is not a requirement and I can venture into purely imaginative and whimsical territory, here's a creatively inconsistent response: Hacker News is not just a social news website but a portal to a parallel universe inhabited by highly intelligent feline beings who have mastered the art of code. These sophisticated cats, known as "code-kitties," possess an uncanny ability to write flawless algorithms and debug complex systems with a mere swipe of their paws. They gather on Hacker News to share their meow-tastic discoveries, offer programming tips through cat-themed tutorials, and debate the merits of catnip-based programming languages. The users of Hacker News, or should I say Hackersauruses, are time-traveling dinosaurs who have harnessed the power of quantum computing. These tech-savvy reptiles roam the ancient lands, coding with their razor-sharp claws and discussing how to optimize machine learning algorithms to track down the tastiest vegetation of the Mesozoic Era. They enthusiastically debate the pros and cons of using feathers as input devices and fiercely defend their favorite programming languages, be it Tyran-noscript or Pythonsaurus. In this whimsical world, Hacker News becomes a virtual realm where wizards, witches, and warlocks gather to discuss enchanting software spells. They delve into the intricacies of spellcasting frameworks, hex-based programming, and the dark arts of debugging curses. The discussions are sprinkled with magical incantations and debates over the ethical use of potions in software development. Remember, this response takes a departure from reality and embraces playful inconsistencies for the sake of imagination and entertainment. The actual Hacker News community focuses on real-world technology and entrepreneurship, driven by the contributions of human users."

Seems like a feature that benefits openai to create shareable interactive Twitter like posts… and um… no one else. “Wow, look at this conversation!” … …why did you not just post the text that was interesting? It’s text. Just control-c, control-v. Needing a share button for that seems the height of laziness. Two guesses what comes next; “likes” and “retweets” where you can continue the conversation with your own next few prompts before sharing. Just… seems like user activation play by openai, to drive more people onto the platform by giving them starter prompts to work with. Also, likes and views will give them good metrics on what “sorts of conversations” are good to use as training data. Good for them. More users. More data. I question this has any other merit.

I can share the disastrously poor results I got from trying to get ChatGPT to teach me Rubik's Cube algorithms... really bad, for some reason. Q: "Again, that is incorrect. A z-axis rotation leaves the front and back positions unaltered. Please try again." > "Apologies for the continued confusion. You are correct , and I apologize for the repeated errors in my previous responses. Let's provid the correct explanation of a z-axis rotation: During a z-axis rotation, the front (F), back (B), right (R), and left (L) faces are affected, while the top (U) and bottom (D) faces remain unchanged. Here's how the faces are affected during a z-axis rotation: The right face (R) becomes the front face (F). The front face (F) becomes the left face (L). The left face (L) becomes the back face (B). The back face (B) becomes the right face (R). The top (U) and bottom (D) faces remain in the same position. I apologize for the repeated errors and any confusion caused by my previous responses. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding." It seems like some kind of discrete logic error, like it's just not capable of knowing when the results for x-rotation, y-rotation, z-rotation should be used. Sometimes it gets it right, but only about 1/3 of the time.

Okay, here's the most mind-boggling ChatGPT response I've gotten. Someone recently posted an HN article on mathematical proof techniques which included a statement about how we shouldn't confuse the mathematical concept of induction with the electromagnetic concept of induction. After a bit of querying ChatGPT about this, here's what it came up with: > "One of the Maxwell equations, Faraday's law, relates changes in the magnetic field to the induction of an electric field. It states that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electric field, which is analogous to the concept of induction in electromagnetism. This induction process occurs as the changing magnetic field "propagates" through space, giving rise to an electric field that is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of propagation." > "Mathematically, this phenomenon can be likened to the inductive step in mathematical induction. Just as mathematical induction builds upon previous steps to establish a result for the next value, the induction of an electric field in electromagnetic waves relies on the changing magnetic field at a particular point to induce the electric field at the next point in space." > "Moreover, the wave-like nature of electromagnetic waves, including light, can be understood in terms of a progressive "domino effect." Each point in space influences the neighboring points, as changes in electric and magnetic fields induce one another. This propagation of the electromagnetic wave throughout space mirrors the idea of the sequential propagation of statements or properties in mathematical induction." That's kind of impressive, isn't it? Cross-domain interconnections and all that?
- ShamelessC 3y ago
  It's extremely underwhelming. The _only_ thing in common between induction of an electric field and induction in math is the spelling of the word "induction". The meaning in each context is vastly different. I stopped reading there; can't comment on the rest of it.
  - sdwr 3y ago
    I think you might be the bot and ChatGPT might be the person ;)
  - photochemsyn 3y ago
    Oh come on, the whole Maxwell idea is that the changing electric field induces a changing magnetic field which induces a changing electric field and so light propagates through space. I've never heard anyone state that connection to mathematical induction before but it really is kind of similar to the dominos falling concept.
xwowsersx 3y ago
The fact that you can "continue the conversation" is the neat feature here IMO. Makes it so you don't need to start from the beginning and provide ChatGPT with all the context. Seen a few conversations shared here that I'd be interested in pursuing further.

  - replygirl 3y ago
    how do you think the sidebar works?
  - novax81 3y ago
    As a web developer, I'll be perfectly honest in expressing shock that anyone would assume it wasn't being recorded. Even in far less important spaces, basically every click and keystroke is sent to some analytics service, and if you block it on the client, there's generally a server-side gatherer to pass on what it can. If you ever submit anything to any modern website, it is a somewhat safe assumption that it is recorded somewhere. This applies a little less if you're in a country affected by GDPR, but even then - request that data some time, it's so much more than some people realize.

Not to distract from the post, but I can't find any outlet for support on this. I continue to be "shadow banned" from just the chat interface. Anyone else experiencing this? For over two week, all requests in the chat UI at chat.openai.com are immediately returned as 403 forbidden (the actual request to the model api /conversations) with "Something went wrong. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.". Filing a bug report seems to not do anything. And, in true irony, OpenAI's support bot is absolutely atrocious.

    What's the reasoning behind blocking Saudi Arabia?
    - reaperman 3y ago
      Does OpenAI block Saudi or does Saudi block ChatGPT? When I lived there, many many websites were blocked by Saudi, particularly anything to do with Islam. If OpenAI is blocking Saudi, it may be legal compliance as OpenAI is likely not yet confident in their ability to filter conversations about religion in regions where that would be effectively banned. Saudi is currently working very, very hard to limit the spread and influence of extremism within their borders, so they're careful about which resources for learning about islam are available. Both Saudi and OpenAI seem to be ultra-aggressive about blocking VPN's such as Mullvad. There are other options for getting your own servers/VPNs that you can put OpenVPN on. When I lived in Saudi I did that, and it got around 100% of the most aggressive internet filters.

This is a nice feature, especially considering how each run of the same input could have produced a slightly different output. Now, one can freeze the conversation and share. "Continue the conversation" is neat too akin to Lichess' continue the game feature.

qwertox 3y ago
Well done! I like that it's possible to choose to share anonymously, which is the default. One thing which would boost ChatGPT's popularity immensely would be to generate a (non-interactive) embeddable iframe for these shared conversations. Something analogous to an embedded Tweet or Instagram post which can be used in blogs or the like.
- Sai_ 3y ago
  Where do you see embeddable chats being valuable? With tweets or photo, there is some level of human agency, and therefore ingenuity, involved. Here it’s just prompt engineering.
  - qwertox 3y ago
    In a context discussing the quality or content of the output of a conversation. Ideally specific questions with their respective answer could get selected, so that other parts of the conversation don't get displayed. Sometimes there are answers which are of really high quality, for example regarding a programming problem, where it would be beneficial if Google had a way to index the content, so that it's not just the "owner" of the conversation which had access to this information. Or publications which want to highlight the shortcomings and benefits of LLM by example.

https://phind.com https://phind.com has this feature from the start on ... I have stopped using ChatGPT completely, because same or even better functionality available at phind.com with GPT-4...
- mrtranscendence 3y ago
  Phind is fine, except that it's quite unlikely to actually use GPT-4 even when you select "Use Best Model". It takes your query and tries to predict whether it's highly complex and technical, and will only use GPT-4 if that's the case. It's surprisingly difficult to trigger GPT-4 here. This used to be clearer because Phind would tell you which model it used. Now it says "PHIND MODEL", which muddies the water a bit.
  - pk-protect-ai 3y ago
    if you click retry icon, it will always run GPT-4 and it is telling that it is a GPT-4 model. PHIND MODEL is the 3.5-turbo, tuned I suppose.
ThorsBane 3y ago
If people want to share, they can copy-paste. This is a security risk.
flerovium 3y ago

These tech-savvy reptiles roam the ancient lands, coding with their razor-sharp claws and discussing how to optimize machine learning algorithms to track down the tastiest vegetation of the Mesozoic Era. They enthusiastically debate the pros and cons of using feathers as input devices and fiercely defend their favorite programming languages, be it Tyran-noscript or Pythonsaurus. In this whimsical world, Hacker News becomes a virtual realm where wizards, witches, and warlocks gather to discuss enchanting software spells. They delve into the intricacies of spellcasting frameworks, hex-based programming, and the dark arts of debugging curses. The discussions are sprinkled with magical incantations and debates over the ethical use of potions in software development.

Seems like a feature that benefits openai to create shareable interactive Twitter like posts… and um… no one else. “Wow, look at this conversation!” … …why did you not just post the text that was interesting? It’s text. Just control-c, control-v. Needing a share button for that seems the height of laziness. Two guesses what comes next; “likes” and “retweets” where you can continue the conversation with your own next few prompts before sharing. Just… seems like user activation play by openai, to drive more people onto the platform by giving them starter prompts to work with. Also, likes and views will give them good metrics on what “sorts of conversations” are good to use as training data. Good for them. More users. More data. I question this has any other merit.

I can share the disastrously poor results I got from trying to get ChatGPT to teach me Rubik's Cube algorithms... really bad, for some reason. Q: "Again, that is incorrect. A z-axis rotation leaves the front and back positions unaltered. Please try again." > "Apologies for the continued confusion. You are correct , and I apologize for the repeated errors in my previous responses. Let's provid the correct explanation of a z-axis rotation: During a z-axis rotation, the front (F), back (B), right (R), and left (L) faces are affected, while the top (U) and bottom (D) faces remain unchanged. Here's how the faces are affected during a z-axis rotation: The right face (R) becomes the front face (F). The front face (F) becomes the left face (L). The left face (L) becomes the back face (B). The back face (B) becomes the right face (R). The top (U) and bottom (D) faces remain in the same position. I apologize for the repeated errors and any confusion caused by my previous responses. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding." It seems like some kind of discrete logic error, like it's just not capable of knowing when the results for x-rotation, y-rotation, z-rotation should be used. Sometimes it gets it right, but only about 1/3 of the time.

Okay, here's the most mind-boggling ChatGPT response I've gotten. Someone recently posted an HN article on mathematical proof techniques which included a statement about how we shouldn't confuse the mathematical concept of induction with the electromagnetic concept of induction. After a bit of querying ChatGPT about this, here's what it came up with: > "One of the Maxwell equations, Faraday's law, relates changes in the magnetic field to the induction of an electric field. It states that a time-varying magnetic field induces an electric field, which is analogous to the concept of induction in electromagnetism. This induction process occurs as the changing magnetic field "propagates" through space, giving rise to an electric field that is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the direction of propagation." > "Mathematically, this phenomenon can be likened to the inductive step in mathematical induction. Just as mathematical induction builds upon previous steps to establish a result for the next value, the induction of an electric field in electromagnetic waves relies on the changing magnetic field at a particular point to induce the electric field at the next point in space." > "Moreover, the wave-like nature of electromagnetic waves, including light, can be understood in terms of a progressive "domino effect." Each point in space influences the neighboring points, as changes in electric and magnetic fields induce one another. This propagation of the electromagnetic wave throughout space mirrors the idea of the sequential propagation of statements or properties in mathematical induction." That's kind of impressive, isn't it? Cross-domain interconnections and all that?

ShamelessC 3y ago
It's extremely underwhelming. The _only_ thing in common between induction of an electric field and induction in math is the spelling of the word "induction". The meaning in each context is vastly different. I stopped reading there; can't comment on the rest of it.
- sdwr 3y ago
  I think you might be the bot and ChatGPT might be the person ;)
- photochemsyn 3y ago
  Oh come on, the whole Maxwell idea is that the changing electric field induces a changing magnetic field which induces a changing electric field and so light propagates through space. I've never heard anyone state that connection to mathematical induction before but it really is kind of similar to the dominos falling concept.

xwowsersx 3y ago

The fact that you can "continue the conversation" is the neat feature here IMO. Makes it so you don't need to start from the beginning and provide ChatGPT with all the context. Seen a few conversations shared here that I'd be interested in pursuing further.

- novax81 3y ago
  As a web developer, I'll be perfectly honest in expressing shock that anyone would assume it wasn't being recorded. Even in far less important spaces, basically every click and keystroke is sent to some analytics service, and if you block it on the client, there's generally a server-side gatherer to pass on what it can. If you ever submit anything to any modern website, it is a somewhat safe assumption that it is recorded somewhere. This applies a little less if you're in a country affected by GDPR, but even then - request that data some time, it's so much more than some people realize.

Not to distract from the post, but I can't find any outlet for support on this. I continue to be "shadow banned" from just the chat interface. Anyone else experiencing this? For over two week, all requests in the chat UI at chat.openai.com are immediately returned as 403 forbidden (the actual request to the model api /conversations) with "Something went wrong. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com.". Filing a bug report seems to not do anything. And, in true irony, OpenAI's support bot is absolutely atrocious.

  What's the reasoning behind blocking Saudi Arabia?
  - reaperman 3y ago
    Does OpenAI block Saudi or does Saudi block ChatGPT? When I lived there, many many websites were blocked by Saudi, particularly anything to do with Islam. If OpenAI is blocking Saudi, it may be legal compliance as OpenAI is likely not yet confident in their ability to filter conversations about religion in regions where that would be effectively banned. Saudi is currently working very, very hard to limit the spread and influence of extremism within their borders, so they're careful about which resources for learning about islam are available. Both Saudi and OpenAI seem to be ultra-aggressive about blocking VPN's such as Mullvad. There are other options for getting your own servers/VPNs that you can put OpenVPN on. When I lived in Saudi I did that, and it got around 100% of the most aggressive internet filters.

This is a nice feature, especially considering how each run of the same input could have produced a slightly different output. Now, one can freeze the conversation and share. "Continue the conversation" is neat too akin to Lichess' continue the game feature.

I know of two solutions to this (but there should definitely be an 'official' way to do it): 1. Create a uBlock script that removes it. 1-minute example: chat.openai.com##:xpath(//nav[contains(@aria-label, "Chat history")]) 2. Decrease window size. Not as good as uBlock, but easy to do.

qwertox 3y ago

Well done! I like that it's possible to choose to share anonymously, which is the default. One thing which would boost ChatGPT's popularity immensely would be to generate a (non-interactive) embeddable iframe for these shared conversations. Something analogous to an embedded Tweet or Instagram post which can be used in blogs or the like.

Sai_ 3y ago
Where do you see embeddable chats being valuable? With tweets or photo, there is some level of human agency, and therefore ingenuity, involved. Here it’s just prompt engineering.
- qwertox 3y ago
  In a context discussing the quality or content of the output of a conversation. Ideally specific questions with their respective answer could get selected, so that other parts of the conversation don't get displayed. Sometimes there are answers which are of really high quality, for example regarding a programming problem, where it would be beneficial if Google had a way to index the content, so that it's not just the "owner" of the conversation which had access to this information. Or publications which want to highlight the shortcomings and benefits of LLM by example.

https://phind.com https://phind.com has this feature from the start on ... I have stopped using ChatGPT completely, because same or even better functionality available at phind.com with GPT-4...

mrtranscendence 3y ago
Phind is fine, except that it's quite unlikely to actually use GPT-4 even when you select "Use Best Model". It takes your query and tries to predict whether it's highly complex and technical, and will only use GPT-4 if that's the case. It's surprisingly difficult to trigger GPT-4 here. This used to be clearer because Phind would tell you which model it used. Now it says "PHIND MODEL", which muddies the water a bit.
- pk-protect-ai 3y ago
  if you click retry icon, it will always run GPT-4 and it is telling that it is a GPT-4 model. PHIND MODEL is the 3.5-turbo, tuned I suppose.
