I don’t because those experiences are usually frustrating. Website chat bots give you a link to the support docs and leave you to find your answer there and company voice chat is famously limited (“agent” “Agent” “AGENT” 0 0 0 0) Seems like

I wonder what the best output language for an LLM is? The one that has the most training examples? Or something that has other properties that make it easier to generate? I’d guess that the languages with the fewest implicit behaviors (so n

It’s happening now with closed AI models. The era of open computing may be ending. The models are essentially a new type of computer and they will remain fundamentally closed, accessible only through an API.

Did engineers really design the touch screens on Dragon? I feel like those were in the first mock-ups that came out. I assumed that it was just a “concept car” type detail and they would have MFDs in the real spacecraft. Touchscreens seem l

Sure, because it's tuned to be a corporate drone. You can easily tune it to respond using whatever tone you want. If it dropped the f bomb and mispelled things it would probably pass the Turing test with most people.

Let’s play a game of “conservative impacts of AI on the labor force” - the Bureau of Labor Statistics thinks we should have 15% more software engineers in 10 years. What if we had 10% fewer? -800k project managers - how about 650k in 10 yea

Who is going to spend $1B+ on training and release an open model? That’s where we’re headed, with estimates of $250M for training GPT-4’s successor.

I agree with your point about how to best use it today. We have seen that each new model generation both improves the prior tasks and unlocks new ones through emergent behavior. That’s the fascinating/scary part of this development. An
