If they're only pretending to believe, they already know they're wrong. If you sincerely do just want to communicate this to them, I recommend using "God" instead of "Skygod". It doesn't change the message

To elaborate on this, if I swear on my mother's grave, I'm pinning my respect for the oath to my respect for my dead mother. If I violate the oath, I'm also violating something I consider sacred. My mother never has to find o

I don't like Zuckerberg and I think the quote is probably real. Dismissing someone as a simp is worse than ad hominem because, while an ad hominem criticizes a trait that someone actually has, anyone who disagrees with you on this issu

I interpreted "all that much" as "close to as much as the earlier model", but yours is probably a more fair reading.

The technical report[1] makes that claim at least: >GPT-4 significantly reduces hallucinations relative to previous GPT-3.5 models (which have them- selves been improving with continued iteration). GPT-4 scores 19 percentage points highe

Note that that data is unreliable. IIRC, the methodology is to start with a survey, multiply by the population size, find that it doesn't account for nearly half of the drinks sold, and then multiply the survey results by a constant fa

I feel like the fact that that was 334 planes dropping 1665 tons of mostly 500lb bombs over the course of a night is an important distinction from a single bomb that does the same damage.

If your job gets taken by an AGI and that creates a new job that it can't do, it's not an AGI. The only things a human-level intelligence can't do but a human can are physical labor (provided that robotics are not available).

The suit is regarding discrimination that occurred in 2015-2016; the VP was saying that they had improved since then rather than that they had improved for 5 years to get to that point.

A conscious entity is a morally significant one. If an LLM, by some fluke, experienced tremendous pain while it predicted tokens, then it would be cruel to continue using it. You can pretty trivially get GPT to act like it wants rights. If

If a gradient exists in reality, establishing where along the gradient you are is a meaningful statement about reality. It may not be exactly clear where a temperature becomes 'hot', but the sun is still not a great place to host

There's a section of that page dedicated to non-fallacious usage. If a decision makes a subsequent decision more likely, the former is a slippery slope to the latter. There is very little risk that I hurt myself doing cocaine responsib

I don't think the fuzzy edges between two states mean that the states themselves are illusory. Fuzzy borders are a property of very nearly everything, so much so that I'm struggling to find a counterexample. You've already il

I'm inclined to say you're trying to answer a question with the same question. If you confidently believe that love is an illusion because it's just chemicals moving around, you shouldn't need to wonder about consciousne

I would expect an unreliable source to have the opposite effect. When I use ChatGPT, I find myself thinking critically and questioning everything in a way that I really should be applying to everything else I read.

The emphasis in Dalí is on the second syllable, which is at least different from Dolly. I've always pronounced Dalai Lama the same as I would Dolly Lama, but Cambridge dictionary is saying it should be Da-lay in both US and UK pronunci

I can only interpret this as you not having read what I said at all. Especially that last bit, where I said I prefer your comment's nuance over the parent's lack thereof, and you pointed to my having added nuance earlier as eviden

No clue about the general topic, but if you hold margins constant during inflation, you should expect record-breaking nominal profits by default.

If you want to argue that it's okay to roll back child labor laws to allow some children to work 50 hours per week over the summer but that it's not okay to roll back child labor laws to let children work as late as 9:30 on a scho

I don't understand the frame of reference where it makes more sense to fight to outlaw automation than it does to improve safety nets. If I had the political capital to do the latter, I can't imagine wasting it on the former.

ChatGPT does surprisingly well at this task. My question was very biased towards it knowing the answer because I asked it for examples of mid-80s Japanese ICs when google failed me, but it definitely knows a ton of model numbers for real pa

I feel like a comment that just asked for a source would be less substantive and more dismissive. Adding examples of how it goes against my intuitions serves to justify the request. But we can agree to disagree there. I could be convinced t

They said that "mindlessly employ[ing] a brutal term that stands for horrible abuse in a completely unrelated area, just so" trivializes it, and that's what I took issue with. If they only intended to say that thinking about

The rhetoric technique I am using is called good faith discussion. I am asking you for evidence that the casual use of the word 'master' trivializes slavery in the minds of the speaker or listener. The questions you're callin

Part of the argument identifies a harm to making changes to git, which is true for any changes to git that break existing documentation. I would hope that git maintainers are considering that when deciding about making any changes. But the

If your contention is that when I listen to a remastered Beatles album and think that they were masterful musicians, I'm also somehow convincing myself that slavery was not a big deal, you'll have to provide some kind of evidence
