In my personal testing, I throw some sophisticated use cases at LLMs - particularly chain of thought reasoning. None of the models out there are able to do this this well, except for the OG GPT-3 Davinci-003. Even the newer turbo models are

I wonder when someone is going to plug GPT-4 into a REPL that can call into apis over the internet to a chess engine. Can’t be that hard no?

Organizational gaslighting? I personally hate the term “gaslighting”, but it could be apt here.

For this to happen, it must have a low-enough potential energy to begin with. Otherwise, it will just shoot out the other side of the orbit. In that case, most likely a meteor was already in orbit, and we just didn't know about it.

How much longer till it can get its own wallet, spin up some alt-coin miners and pay for itself while it does other things on the side?

Honestly, I would prefer it if it were OpenAI. As someone looking to build AI features into my application, I definitely want to avoid this kind of jailbreaks in my app. Right now, there is no good way to guard against this other than remov

While my experience has lined up with the content of this post, I also think the conclusions only apply to a narrow set of organizations and products. There are a lot of products, especially in enterprise or B2B where the customer is not so

Business is different from technology. This is a business post masquerading as a post about technical innovation. My take home from this is that IBM is probably going to have a competitive AI cloud offering.

Yeah this post seems like it will not stand the rest of time. The fundamental conceptual shift is the emergent behaviors displayed by these models. And that is highly unforeseeable. We’re not working with machines that do what they’re built

This is more like extrapolation rather than interpolation. Seems a bit scary to me if used without caveats.

+1 I think this trend comes in waves/cycles. Where I work, product designers are constantly switching between "ok" and other unnecessary complex sentences. The problem is that they lead to all sorts of consistency issues depe

It’s not generating images. This looks like an LLM like GPT-3. It’s (probably) generating text in some encoding that represents a view hierarchy along with basic layout attributes (alignment etc) Probably fine-tuned some on human-created ex

It’s things like this where I feel like we’re entering a different era. Maybe it’s not going to invent quantum gravity just yet, or even be factually correct. But this kind of regular everyday advice is what the current generation of LLMs c

Nice to see some mitigations around prompt injection. I wonder if this can be better as a browser extension where you can select some text and ask to ELI5.

This is a very useful way to retire old laptops. I have a dell business laptop that is rocking an Ivy-bridge quad core. It’s over 10 years now and it’s still running a few low power VMs - pihole and home assistant. But more recently I’ve be

100% Agree. When it comes to SeriousBusiness™, chat bots don't have sufficient constraints to extract specific input from free-form text. Applications are ultimately delivering value in a specific set of use-cases. Only some of those u

Goes back to the George Carlin skit where he more accurately points out that human factors around “damage” to the Earth really only damages humans. We may cause some extinctions and such, but overall, the Earth and life will go on with or w

This is a great tutorial for embedding. So many things with AI are a mystery to me. Articles like this help a lot.

Basically it's a drawing program that takes as input letters and then moves a cursor different distances and rotations based on which letter is next. So people are having fun coming up with letter permutations that draw something inste

It works well if you continously provide progress to the user. In my specific use case, the data generated is progressively displayed to the user, and refined in many further chain steps. They see the evolution of this. So it feels like it&

This is highly useful. I am prototyping new features where I work, on top of GPT3. To get it beyond fancy demos and actually delivering customer utility, you need a LOT of work to build in robustness and correctness. Prompt chains is where

The question of whether it's "worth it" really boils down to you and your specific requirements. Even within the same project, there are times when I don't want typechecking - when I am prototyping something out and want

Yeah I am not buying the source for this prediction. If this was something from the USGS, then maybe. But it can never hurt to be prepared. Maybe just to look over your checklists etc.

UWP failed and continues to fail because Microsoft themselves are not invested into it. Most of the apps that come out of Microsoft use something else. Eg: Vscode, Teams etc, Office etc. It’s not the case with Apple at least from what I can

Tesla’s Autopilot or FSD has all the anxiety-inducing aspects of supervising a teenager driving your car. You’re constantly worried it’s going to do something wrong and you have to take over. It’s FAR more stressful than just doing it yours

I don’t think he was anywhere close to angry. It seems to me by his affect that he regards the audience member as simply not knowing any better about the big picture and what needed to be done to turn Apple around from its darkest days.

The value is the approach that sales and product are integrated so much it comes from the mind of a single person. Remember that this is the early days of technology products. While most of the industry was working from the tech and finding

You can already do that with all kinds of boards. You don’t necessarily need it to run Linux.

I don’t think you’d need to be alone in solving the AGI problem. Carmack is an engineer at heart. I am sure there are some yet undiscovered technical blockers in that space that he will solve.

So he didn't cash out. Didn't pay cap-gains on those. Yet, generated cashflow from the shares. As a common person, I've been looking into this myself with my RSUs and option grants. But there aren't credit lines that ban
