I don’t think it’s a serious limitation though, since the open-source LLMs like Alpaca/LLaMA have already “won” the mass adoption among engineers, and are only getting better (already better than GPT4 in some areas).

We don’t seem to be quite there yet, but things are moving in that direction, unfortunately (see the Gorilla paper, for example). I still think to tailor the tool to each particular API requires human intelligence (and even that is hard), b

FWIW there’s this paper that just came out, and promises a low hallucination factor (not quite for pentesting, but this could be a useful starting point): “Gorilla: Large Language Model Connected with Massive APIs” https://arxiv.

Re the societal layer, it's not about the wannabe people though - there are real documented cases of how these big systems were trained, using deeply unethical practices (e.g. outsourcing processing of highly disturbing images to &quot

I prefer not to engage further on this topic, to be honest. It's not a productive use of our time. Instead, to get more educated on it, I'll read Gary Marcus's "Rebooting AI: Building Artificial Intelligence We Can Trust

The problem is not with the existence of LLMs, it's with how they're marketed - as a "reasoning" engine and something that can "think". There's no cognition in it, and very unreliable information. If you w

OK, could you please give a concrete example of a problem that was solved by this that wasn't possible to do before?

Search was already solved - I could find anything I wanted using any number of search engines within seconds, and it provided much more exact information. LLMs are purely suited for search precisely because they can't guarantee to &quo

Right - companies like OpenAI should be held accountable for their deceptive practices. There isn't a new tech in this case, only the hype that they've created using the massive amount of data and compute. If you don't believ

Exactly, and also you get to actually understand how it all works together, unlike a bunch of proprietary APIs that only tie you to their particular platform. (for those not on the same page, I’m talking from a position of substantial exper

I think it’s more about peace of mind, unlimited really means I won’t wake up tomorrow with a $10k bill, as it happened many times (not to me) on AWS and the like. That is the disgusting practice the big cloud providers like to impose, for

Exactly - if I can’t trust it (as has been my experience with 90% of queries) so that I have to still Google its answers to verify them, what good does it do? It isn’t really improving my productivity in a substantial way, or can indeed hin

For a business that lies and deceives the general public from the very beginning about the capabilities of their technology, it can only mean they’re as unethical on the inside as on the outside. If they were truly honest and open, they wou

The problem is, of course, these systems are fundamentally incapable of human-level intelligence and cognition. There will be a lot of wasted effort in pursuit of this unreachable goal (with LLM technology), an effort better spent elsewhere

When “it could be used for anything” really means only that they haven’t found a market fit and are just a solution in search of a problem, as with most venture-baked enterprises.

This will be entertaining (if dangerous) to watch, as people hopefully become disillusioned with the overselling and overhyping of this not-new-tech-but-wrapped-in-marketing-bs wave of ‘AI’. But, history shows we rarely learn from past mist

I’ll be glad if EU regulates the sh* out of this. Companies like OpenAI should not have a reason to exist in today’s world.

Sam has turned into (or maybe has always been) just another technobro grifter. He has lost all of his credibility with his moves and statements on OpenAI.

This pseudoscientific ‘AI’ will bring nothing good to the diversity of thought and fairness, that’s for sure.

Exactly this. They just fed more data into it and suddenly it’s “emergent” behavior, even though there’s no scientific basis behind why it would be emergent (and the fact that the human cognition does not appear to operate like this). I’m f

I highly doubt it will lead to anything but more suffering for humanity. And we’ve got to understand that no new tech was invented here, they’re using the same principles and methods that have been used for the past 40-50 years, but just th

Well, it's not really an "AI" if it doesn't have a truthful model of the world. I can see how people would think it's useful, but they don't see the downsides that come with it, and it's gonna become harde
