(1) This is not knowledge distillation, which requires knowing the logits and not just the output text. (2) "Training a smaller model off davinci using the logits" would have been vastly more expensive than what they did, which

This, indeed, is a mistake many humans also make. But it's a sharper and more beautiful illustration in AI format - that as soon as the AI outputs an answer, the intelligence of that answer is fixed in place, and no rationalizing outp

I know some of the people involved. I expect that they are honest in saying that this never happened and that Johnson lied. Johnson himself later retracted the statements and his retraction said that he had no direct observation or eviden

Then where would sensible words come from, for the first time, in hominid history?

"Queen of Angels" is one of few books that made me cry in two separate parts, for two different reasons, and I think it may have been the point at which I reflected and understood explicitly the rule for taking expected darkness a

I'd guess this is just false.

This exchange ought to be a post in its own right. It seems to me that malice, hate, Warp contamination, whatever you want to call it, is very much a large part of the modern problem; and also it's a true and deep statement that you

It's amazing to me how Steve Jobs was never able to replace himself, to find somebody who could serve the role he did at Apple, despite having an entire planet to draw upon with compensation that couldn't be matched anywhere else

Don't worry. They are not saying any such thing.

Assuming it worked as intended, you would not expect copyright to decrease the price of books, but to increase their number and quality.

If your goal is safety, you shouldn't be pushing capabilities or general availability of capabilities.

That's a very cheerful take about people's ability to update about politics after a law fails to give them a promised result. I wish I lived in the territory corresponding to your map.

Don't burn the capabilities commons. You probably don't have anything, in which case, why bother people? If you do have something, that advances AI capabilities and shortens the time before AGI; and while nobody actually has any

Okay but is that still true if you use batch normalization and does it beat SOTA

This is the most incredible exploit I've ever heard of that didn't directly corrupt hardware.

> Curious edit history. This pile of garbage originally used "vaxtard", "sin", and "purebloods". You really shouldn't take anything seriously from a source that uses those trigger phrases. There's

I learned to program on a ZX81. What else is there to say?

I learned to program in hypertalk as a kid, and I am so glad that it never took off.

Nobody tell him about GPT-3, I guess…? How do you write this in 2021 and not specifically confront the evidence of what modern ML systems can do and have already done?

Interesting how much the people with boots on the ground and no PR departments to filter them actually do seem… pretty aware of how much we’re all going to die? Or at least they seem aware the probability of igniting the atmosphere is over

Joke technology sure has improved in 4000 years and with a vastly larger population with more leisure time!

Sad to hear the savings are so trivial.

People underestimate how much of an honest, plausible mistake this can be if you've lived through World War 1 but not World War 2.

This seems like a case where some prompt engineering (starting out with three good pickup lines) could improve the output a lot, or so I'd predict. Remember that tests like these do not upper-bound GPT-3's competence ; they somet

What could've ended the pandemic around 6 months ago was human challenge trials on vaccines, and paying much more for earlier supplies of vaccines including those donated to other countries. (What counts as an impossible supply challe

I can rarely remember seeing a title that made me so quickly and confidently say "Will Not Replicate". I mean, I say that often, but this made me say it louder .

Golly, that wasn't the second paragraph I was expecting to read. Still feels a bit surreal when it happens to me.
