I think this tech is super cool, but why is the API priced with subscription tiers rather than just some per-word rate? It would make it easier to develop with and budget for if the cost was based on actual usage (like the OpenAI API is, fo

The image AIs are much more capable too, and I find it interesting that every technically inclined person used to always make fun of those “enhance” moments in TV shows and movies where they would zoom into some area of a photograph or secu

He doesn’t need to supply the API, GPT already knows the API from its training data. I’ve written a similar tool for Unity and it works the same way. Any program that allows scripting/plugins (and has a sizeable community posting code

yeah there’s also AICommand for Unity that uses a similar technique: https://github.com/keijiro/AICommand

Just to be clear, the word has already been used for at least 11 years in the game industry. (ex see https://youtu.be/Fy0aCDmgnxg ), and it is very frequently used. There is absolutely no sense in which it is the “not the ri

Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

Really? Because there are about 20 comments under their original post with the tone of “um actually many of us didn’t grow up that young”.

I listen to maybe half the podcasts that Lex releases these days. He has some views that I disagree with and some traits that I find annoying, but overall I still enjoy the podcasts. There are some great guests and he allows them to speak a

I usually work as a game dev, but I made a juicy app for the Blackberry Playbook (lol) a long time ago: https://youtu.be/sXqXpwyBI1k

These are nice! I’d recommend making the animations even faster. You only need a couple frames of animation to give the feeling of moment, otherwise the UI starts to feel sluggish.

The name comes from wanting to make things “juicy”.

Not yet. All of that stuff will come (and it will eventually be open source), but in these early stages they’re keeping it focused on a single use case.

Gaming now is much better than the early 2000s. There were some great games back then, but these days there is more quality and variety in every dimension and in nearly every genre (except RTS games which got split into MOBAs and factory ga

Agreed completely, the parent comment is completely out of touch with the actual state of the game industry.

There is a fundamental difference between a human taking time to learn a thing and a machine that gobbles up everything it can find in order to replicate it.

No they are not the same. An artist taking time and effort to study and learn a new art style is not the same as an company writing a program that gobbles up every image on the internet. There is a fundamental difference between when a huma

I could be wrong but it seems likely his first tweet was about Epic integrating NFTs into their own games, and the second was about allowing them on the EGS? I don’t really see the NFT stuff as relating to open platforms anyway. Certain kin

That is not how it works, at least not for any conventional meaning of “remix”. It doesn’t store a copy of all the text it has been trained on, and it doesn’t just mix existing phrases together. The easiest way to see that is to ask GPT-4 t

Not sure what you mean by “calculate things”, but it’s fairly easy to see how language models can at least come up with new combinations of existing things that have never existed.

Tim Sweeney has been a big proponent of open platforms for over a decade. See also: the whole Apple vs Epic thing which was definitely not a good business decision at all. I think it’s possible this isn’t really about “incentives” and is ju

They might not do it right away if it’s slower and more expensive to run. ChatGPT has undergone a lot of efforts to optimize it.

by MattRix 4y ago
It is a big deal because the major version numbers usually represent a new model trained from scratch, vs just a base model that has been given extra training (which is what happened from GPT 3.0 -> 3.5)

minor correction: The original davinci is GPT 3 but davinci-003 is GPT 3.5

A minor correction: a token is 3/4 of a word. ie. it’s slightly smaller than a word, not larger.

It’s not the wrong track, it’s just very early and specialized. As you get more multi-modal models with better ability to learn/remember on the fly, they will require less and less data to train.

It’s a very confusingly written sentence, but I believe the “it” is meant to refer to “German Rail” and not the Deutschlandticket.

Yes, lots of people do. Not as much long story based games, but more arcadey/casual games. This is especially common for kids using computers at school. Just think about all the old Flash games, that style of game is still popular.

“The reason why humidity isn’t included in cars, or most HVAC systems, is that it is not possible for most of us to attach a specific value to the humidity level.” I would argue that humidity control is included in cars by the air-recircu
