So you're suggesting we should blindly trust him? Whereas everyone else would need to bring in the data, to you know, actually substantiate the claims ?
- JimDabell 1y agoTheir reason for claiming he’s lying appears to be based upon external estimates about GPT-3 from years ago. Yes, it’s entirely reasonable to believe Altman over them.
- hansmayer 1y agoI don't think that's the only reason, and it's not the only time he gave out some, mildly put, unverified information.
- kingstnap 1y agoBeing a first-party source and reliability are orthogonal concepts. But yes, he doesn't need to bring receipts; he is the receipt. He can take the number of queries they ran and divide it by the amount of electricity they bought. Or maybe his dashboard already shows energy cost per query. His source is obviously knowing the actual figure. The arXiv paper needs to justify its guesswork. The reliability can be increased by getting an independent audit. But an audit doesn't change the source being Sam himself.
