I don't think this kind of prompt leakage really matters from a strategy perspective. Pretty much every breakout internet biz in the past 20 years has been like "an HN comment poster can build that prototype". So what really

That paper is interesting but it doesn't necessarily work better. I have OpenAI vectors for about 250k podcast episode descriptions and just searching "pyramids" works about the same as asking GPT to write 500 words about pyr

I think this pattern is how perplexity.ai is probably citing sources, ie. it gets the relevant text from webpages in the prompt then asks GPT to answer the question In general this kind of prompt context is probably the more 'advanced&

Yeah that's the distinction I was making--the hobbyists have gone to social media, and the people registering domains and using a self-hosted CMS are trying to make a biz out of it Although Substack seems to be causing a little renaiss

This is interesting but I don't think it's what "broke the web". What really broke it is that those 20-30 million people who would have made hobbyist blogs or posted to forums are now part of the 200million (twitter) or

I think embeddings are actually low-'resolution' representations. Like GPT's ability to parse and calculate the structure of the sentence "Hello, how are you?" is not represented in the embedding for the sentence. T

Ah interesting, thanks. I had seen an example where someone had made a bot to talk with her younger self based on diary entries but looks like she put the old diary quotes in a prompt https://twitter.com/michellehuang42&#x2F

I'm not sure of the mechanics but I think GPT can be fine tuned to get something more in line with the actual texts https://beta.openai.com/docs/guides/fine-tuning While we're here, does anybody know? Ap

You're right that this raises questions about the nature of "first principles thinking". For Elon at Twitter, this seems to mean just applying hunches from Y2k era tech memories rather than understanding things like if you cu

I think the speed and low-fees required in (some types of) financial trading just can't happen fully on chain. So that's another reason for centralization in exchanges Also it's interesting to note that in regular finance, ex

Snowden said these kinds of pics were passed around at the NSA too.. And here's a case of how California Highway Patrol officers used to pass around pictures from phones they scanned https://www.sfgate.com/crime/ar

I think the trick with some of these debates is just stepping back from the media cycle. I really noticed this with Captain Marvel where for a few months any criticism was suddenly seized-upon as evidence of the person undermining the futur

One odd aspect is that all these 'recommendations' adopted en masse (low salt, low cholesterol, low fat) are based on the goal of avoiding heart problems. I guess it makes sense as a goal but not sure it makes sense to go in rever

Oh my mistake. Still stuff like 'return a || b' is the kind of thing I see in JS way more than in PHP codebases

Actually this type of over-usage of ternary operators is not a PHP thing.. it's very prevalent in the JavaScript world

Well in this case the link between NFTs and AI art wasn't made by me, I'm just observing the overlap between the same online influencers/groups doing the same type of activism against two different phenomena. Sure I think the

by firasd 4y ago
I think the communities involved here like digital artists, furries etc got a lot of attention hating on NFTs last year, so they are doubling down with the anti-art-generator movement. But I don't think this one will be so successful.

Seems as far as an ambient computing approach, heads-up displays (or in the future, google-glass type interfaces) make more sense cause you can update the visuals easily If you're just projecting onto surfaces seems like it will be slo

Bollywood movies aren't really musicals. The way I would put it is that musicals are a genre, and Bollywood movies are all sorts of genres with songs interspersed. So you could literally edit out (or more practically, forward through)

Yeah I have some mixed feelings. It's good that an Indian movie is breaking over to such significant consciousness in the US but a lot of the interest is like gawking. Like: 'OMG a tiger is jumping out of a truck with the hero, I&

A proposed technical explanation: "it's understandable why there would be some image that tends to soak up negative-prompt queries." https://twitter.com/mattskala/status/1567300206969982979

An interesting example: a few months ago I dropped something on my toenail and it turned black. Wading through WebMD etc (which is where google was sending me) was not helpful, especially in between the popups and autoplay videos I finally

I'm not sure this whole drive towards 'original content' makes sense. It encourages people to make long rambling pages that don't get to the point In fact it seems like Google worked better when wikipedia was almost alwa

Yeah on Android interfaces there is a common concept of a 'hamburger icon' on screens. It may not be the best UX but at least if a dev doesn't know how to expose a certain feature in the UI they can put it in the menu that ex

Looking at discussion around this incident made me realize: pondering 'can a machine think' leads to vague debates because we don't know how to define thinking or consciousness even in humans. But a more pressing risk than se
