I can't locate any nuance in that article. Hyperbole, panic and many unfounded assumptions serving those first two, easy. Good for clicks and getting an extremely manipulatable public coming back for more, I guess. Historically, when

A great many would likely join you, making this entire fiasco a time-wasting distraction, at best, and grave risk at worst. The technologies will continue to be developed, moratorium or not. A moratorium only enables the hidden to get there

Our best psychologists cost significant money, and there are a limited number of them (effect and cause). Whereas no motive of profit is necessary to affect the changes I've described, that's the entire point and benefit here. Any

ChatGPT isn't the be-all of AI advancements. However, a model that can coherently understand and explain advanced topics to people in a tailored way, has huge educational benefits. Proper education is the core of every issue we face. A

This is a really strained analogy. Nuclear bombs only have one - tremendously negative thing - they do, other than the one positive of the fact it's so negative nobody uses them, to avoid the same repercussions. AI on the other hand ha

This is one of the most badly behaved comment sections I've seen on HN. As at least some seem to exhibit, it is possible to criticise creativity without high-school level bullying. Sometimes people read things like I've seen writt

It's impossible to run a crypto exchange without halting withdrawals periodically, especially when runs are happening. This is due to the security balance between difficult-to-access cold wallets containing the majority of funds, and e

There have been a few major runs on Binance, measured in billions. So far they've not skipped a beat as a result. Certainly nothing like FTX. No guarantee of future performance, of course...

This is exactly what it supports, and limitlessly. An AI model doesn't get tired of receiving direction and doing retakes. It's a matter of time.

Enforce what? Why should the ability to impersonate a persons voice suddenly become a crime in itself? Should we arrest Jim Carrey? Isn't it when the thing was used to do something else illegal when enforcement is required?
289.
by detrites 4y ago
Two differences I can think of, either side the debate: 1) The impersonation can be carried out in real-time by the criminal themselves. No need to employ anyone else. (No trail leading to them.) 2) Pro impersonators aren't common in s

It's amazing how many think declaring something illegal will stop criminally-minded people having and using it.

> SlickGPT allows you to run your own local ChatGPT instance No, it doesn't. If it did, it would be a 700GB+ download and not need OpenAI API keys. Wish folks would stop saying it.

Imagine ChatGPT 5 or 6, where it's at the point that it's entirely indistinguishable from a human, by any one of us. At this point AI can mimmic every aspect of being a human: emotions, reasoning, intelligence, memory. Will you, a

What the existence of this may cause over time is the erosion of movies as "special" things. When everyone can make movies, they'll reduce to an emotional expression in a communication, much like choosing an emoji or gif is w

Such things can be expected to be well-encoded in examples of the language. GPT doesn't only mimic human speech, it's built upon an absolutely massive set of the probabilities of speech that is likely to follow other speech. So,

Depends who you ask and how chatty they are, but in general probably correct - as it'd be a minority of humans who would speak at length given ten such questions to get through. (Whereas ChatGPT may not "value its time"...) M

My understanding is, if you have 175 billion parameters of 16-bit values that all effectively transact (eg, multiply) together, the realm of possibility is 175b^65536; really rather a large number of encodable potentials. The length and num
