They don't want to babysit you - they just want to block stuff that you use because it's better for business! (they think)

Ok, so you think the government should police every app and if they are developed in a country they consider to be adversarial, then they should ban it? Do you at least see the potential for abuse here?

If I was American, I would be much less concerned with China having my data than my own government, who can act against me at will.

It's really funny to see these types of comments. I would assume a vast majority of users are using the Web interface, particularly in a corporate context where an account for the API could take ages or not be accepted. If people were

I see - in that case I fully agree.

I don't follow. Are you saying that subscribing to the notion that democratic societies have certain rights protected by law is legalism?
457.
by epups 4y ago
No, in democratic societies you have the rule of law. This usually blocks incumbents from changing the rules as they wish. Yes of course natural rights don't really exist, but legal rights enforcing some of them are about as real as mo

It is incredibly lucrative to take one of these jobs. The last three white house press secretaries went on to become commentators and/or high ranking politicians. It's really not that hard to understand why people want the job.

I know Varoufakis' take on the Greek crisis. I think he's mostly correct on the fact that having a common currency without a correcting mechanism will inevitably lead to these issues. However, Greece benefitted enormously from bei

Everything about it non-sensical, even ChatGPT knows that. If you ask it to calculate how long it can sustain you on radioactivity alone it could also calculate that, but this is the more interesting calculation in my opinion.

Ironically, price controls are more likely to get us in that scenario, as they typically preclude shortages.

I'm not so sure. If it was that easy, we would also start seeing it in open source models, and Bard itself I can hardly believe is choosing not to do that.

I think this is cool, but it's on the range of complexity that I would expect from a personal project. When you put a whole organization behind it, I feel you could have provided something extra - better datasets? Improved weights from

by epups 4y ago
Well, if the one measure you point out as what the government could do today led to worse outcomes, then I do think they should abstain from that kind of interference in the future. I don't think price controls have worked anywhere.

But they did get a bail out. And Greece was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy.

This is really good progress on one of the weakest points of ChatGPT, the ability to produce meaningful calculations. By the time Bard is out, it will look so outdated it's not even funny.

Well I understood it in a very different way, and I was impressed by this exercise. I don't care about the caveats or warnings about obvious things such as not eating uranium, I care that ChatGPT is getting better at producing accurate

Nixon's economic measures were a disaster that led to inflation and crisis. You can see that directly in your link btw.

I think the point is a little finer than you think. Yes, profits are up, but can you necessarily conclude from that single fact that the issue is price gouging? In a scenario where every company is trying to maximize profit, "price gou

I like Bill Gates - out of the major iconic tech personas, he is one of the most interesting to me. Yes he kind of didn't see internet or phones coming, so it's not like he is an oracle, but he is right on many issues too. I think

Regarding this contamination issue, I think the author has a point here but the evidence is just very weak - apparently on one specific test ChatGPT fails when answering recent questions. I wonder if in fact a certain amount of "contam

It doesn't seem to do be able to do anything that Stable Diffusion cannot do, and I bet they put a ton more restrictions too. Other than OpenAI, most of these closed-source AI developments are quite underwhelming.

This is not a scientific paper, and I at least find this decision justified, as he could have been more lenient and grab headlines with a bigger ELO.

I'm actually not sure what will become of tools like DeepL. Whatever edge they may have with dataset tuning and other tricks under the hood are likely superseded by a better architecture, which in turn requires a ton of capital to trai

Everyone here is saying that people can simply transition easily into startups and other big companies. To a certain extent that's true, but what exactly are they going to do? As technology consolidates into one or two major LLM's
