Same difference. Point is they are wrong. Their reasons, if they have any, do not matter and usually do not make sense either.

Emergent properties are never "real". They just are and you can see them happening, but "underneath" it's nothing. Edit: I meant to say I don't need access to training. By experimenting with in/outputs you

That's fair, but it is a negative take that disregards all emergent properties. If you strip all emergent properties from it, there is nothing left. The same thing is true of all biological systems. Why bother being "human".

The "construction dudes" would be developers, not "compute".

If someone says "stochastic parrot" as an argument I know they have no idea what they are talking about. That's calling a human a bunch of cells. It's true, but you are losing track of the (astronomical amount of) emerge

If you just use enough tape you can save money on all those pesky construction dudes. If you just pull teeth instead of fixing them you need less dentists. Everybody wins. Why bother with foundations if you can just tape together whatever w

It is writing a book. You need to set the stage properly so “asking questions” will become part of its story. Roleplay. It is not a being, there is no feedback loop, no motivation. If it is said to want something I think you can say it want

Your 5yo does not understand 1+1. You yourself do not understand it. Entire careers were spent trying to pin it down. It is basically its own branch of mathematics. I understand your point, but I am struggling to see why it matters. This se

True and it’s good money. Better money would be tech money.

I meant “I don’t want them to stop farming, personally”. It is not up to me. It’s not personal.

Thanks for this. HN is great to burst my bubble a bit sometimes.

I argued the degree of difference did not matter, because it was in the same ballpark as other types of already available materials. That the difference didn’t matter is my opinion and that is just disagreement. Determining what ballpark so

Oh right. I didn’t mean to say I think it needs regulation. I meant to say that I can imagine conservative people feeling threatened by this. Not saying they should, because I agree. It is limited and the real uses of GPT are quite a bit mo

The first car was slow too. The first computers were awful and nothing like today. There's countless examples like this. Lots of people are showing disturbing levels of lack of vision.

This could also be this era's equivalent of: - "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." - "Television won’t be able to hold on to any market [..] People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood

Verifying by asking? .. I understand it's important, but I hate bureaucratic "solutions" that are technically correct but don't actually fix the issue.

This is fair and I agree. GPT is way too fast. My point was more about stuff happening in timespans measured in decades that they still think is too fast.

by SanderNL 4y ago
That's right and then they go and find stuff that is not appropriate. This is not about what they are given, it's about what they have access to.

To be fair I think being a good politician requires a lot of competency. Way more than we have available. Not unlike software, the field is riddled with people that do a minimally-OK job, but couldn't actually care less about what they

ChatGPT is an internet service. It's easy to block. I disagree it's easy to block the internet in general, but I get the point (I think).

I agree. I guess I should have said "mentality" or "culture". It's deeper than living in "rural areas" indeed.

I don't care, but a few decades ago we signed some papers at the EU level that said we should stop doing them in the way we do them. I know it sucks, but the Dutch are fast at pointing out other countries' misbehaviour so it'

I have a unpopular opinion about this, but IMO it is the population that causes this. Vast swaths of Europe are rural especially in the south. Very, very averse to any kind of change. I'm in the Netherlands as you can tell and 'ev

It would be really sad to shut down one of the most influential pieces of tech in modern history because they didn't implement the "consent dialog" just right.

True, but my point was directed towards toxins I cannot know about. Chemicals added to food and medicines and such. There is loads I - as a layperson - cannot know about safety. My guess is the same is true for "internet stuff". S

Your point is GPT is way more dangerous? I guess I can be nonchalant about this topic. For me personally I cannot imagine something worse than either books or anything you can already access on the internet. To me it is not an assault rifle

That is kind of interesting actually. Thanks for sharing.

In this AI age I'm seeing it coming to fruition. Fullstacks have (IMO) more potential now than narrow specialists because they can now get away with high-level remarks and letting the AI fill in the details.
