Okay so you're still refusing to acknowledge who it is? Great talk, thanks for your thoughtful contributions. Btw, you haven't expressed any opinion here other than "THERES AN EXTRA S" and some weird insistence you can&#

If we have to flatten it to "they chose and knew exactly what choice they were making", then there's no light to be shed. Sure. That's stupid. Its just as stupid to insist on that being the case. If that's not con

Thank you for asking, it's sublime to see that you're unique in others eyes, very hard to see yourself Let me really blow your mind: also, raised very conservative Catholic, didn't do Confirmation, then was Muslim for about 6

And? You're replying to a comment that points out Gemini Ultra was never released, wasn't mentioned today, and it's the only model Google's benchmarking at GPT-4 level. They didn't say anything about feelings or con

What do you mean? A) This fills a gaping hole for cheap multimodal models, OpenAI doesn't have one B) Anthropic's Haiku is a good choice. You) wow A didn't know Anthropic. Goes to show power of brands, much like snack foods B

I don't think it's a YMMV thing: no one claims it is useless, in fact, there's several specific examples of it being necessary.

Oh, my bad, you're just doing old conspiracies that are completely unrelated to the thread because you got really upset when you saw the idea that insidious Google DEI Sith are forcing you to see non-white people to reprogram the popul

No, two unrelated things (one is Google Image Search, one is Gemini), and you didn't read the post. (n.b. not Gemini) I did predict on this forum about a year ago that the DEI excesses people complained about at their own companies wou

Yeah, fair, being obtuse on purpose makes sense. Better to pretend the text completion engine is self-aware enough to know it doesn't have genitalia, yet not self-aware enough to not wanna talk about it's castration.

I think we've crossed a Rubicon of self-peasantization when we start doing "why didn't the AI just assume castration had nothing to do with cutting off genitalia?"

Correct: you're striking at the heart of why it's boring to hear the 1000th 1-turn example with carefully selected inflammatory language. All you have to do is go beyond one turn. "instead of just rephrasing, you can reword t

Same for the ChatGPTs post launch (let's not talk about 11_02 :) ) -- and as long as we're asserting andecdotes freely, I work in the field and have a couple years in before ChatGPT -- it most certainly is not a well-kept secret o

That's odd, Android's line-level management seemed very sure that their relentless focus on quality since 2021 was going great. On the line-level, we'd grumble that "quality! focus!" was instead empowering a new mid
