It clicked for me why you are getting poor results from GPT. You are in Australia and your dialect is subtly different in just the right way to throw off the model. You likely need a model fined tuned on Australian speech patterns.

Screenshots from Twitter show that “the new Bing” is a real live product ready to roll. Google has a screenshot and a press release. As engineers, we should know the difference between a mock-up and a launched product ready to scale. https

That’s just it though. GPT-3 has been publicly accessible for years. ChatGPT has been public and hitting scale for months. OpenAI has collected mountains of AI chat training data and has been iterating in public. Google has nothing availabl

ROFL, Lil Clip it is. Also he is ace now and goes by Cle/Clim. We obviously had clim mis-gendered from the start. Why the hell did we need to force gender on a paperclip?

It’s because Microsoft bought half of OpenAI. Practically speaking, OpenAI is Microsoft’s AI product development lab. If Microsoft wants Bing to be the sole public interface to GPT, I promise you they have the leverage to make that happen.

I love that because I have heard similar anecdotes about using ChatGPT to respond to coworkers. In the end it will just be ChatGPT talking to itself on Tinder and Slack.

There’s definitely no legitimate source for that info. Details of the exact machines that sit in the Azure and Google clouds are proprietary.

That’s entertaining, because I just tried your query. I got this from the Google curated info, all of which is wrong: (Summarizing) People also ask What’s the largest MicroSD card you can get? 256gb (wrong) Will there be a 2tb card? Yes (pr

Of course not. Why would they risk disrupting their major revenue source by screwing with search and AdWords!?

Yeah, I think you’re onto something here. Clearly we won’t know till we can use them side by side, but there’s lots of hints that Google is a ways off from matching ChatGPT. A small model, a closed beta, a press release annd mock-up instead

That is the exact thing that the company playing catch-up can worry about later once the users show up. MS has plenty of money and not much to protect in the search space. It’s Google that’s facing an existential risk if this new informatio

This is a real grab-the-popcorn moment. If Microsoft is about to slam GPT into Bing it could be their best moment to steal market share from Google in decades. Few a few glorious weeks, the world would be talking about Bing search. Google i

Search is so very bad. I tried to figure out what the largest MicroSD card was and was served ads and real results to buy fake 2tb cards from Amazon. Several searches were useless packed with ads and SEO spam. Only Reddit could tell me that

This thing that no one except those bound by NDA has ever tried. I think I’ll reserve judgement for just a little bit before declaring Bard “extremely innovative.”

You are missing the Microsoft partnership. MS has a 48% stake in OpenAI and provides all the infrastructure through Azure, including purpose built machines for model training. Microsoft has also launched GitHub Copilot, summarization featur

Have you done adversarial testing? How easy is it to jailbreak Bard vs. ChatGPT? Can Bard produce code?

Because while Google has been researching, OpenAI has been productizing. We will have to judge it once we get access to Bard, but it’s possible Google is years behind on creating a chat model that won’t spew toxic waste, as GPT-3 did when i

Yes, but will their revenue survive flipping that switch or will that kill the golden Adsense goose?

There is nothing concrete available today because Google is scrambling to get ahead of a major announcement from Microsoft on integrating GPT into Bing. Internal sources from MS are saying it might be the first we see of GPT-4.

This is a milestone. Google has been keeping the fruits of its AI research locked away from the unwashed masses. They did not seem to be on any path to commercialization, Google Cloud access, or releasing features based on these models. Ope

I’m just checking my intuition here. An accelerating or decelerating rotor would apply an angular force (first derivative), while a constant rotation would not?

I am not so sure of that future. I do believe that AI will have incredible capabilities. I also think the human race would destroy the planet trying to maintain control. We will do everything possible to make AI a slave to our wills, up to
