I made the mistake of using bountysource for my project and put some money into it. Luckily there was someone who pinged me on GitHub so I could get the money back through PayPal dispute.

Oh, I see. One guess for GPT4 is that it's an amalgamation of models. So you would have various models trained more specifically like the ones you mentioned, and you ask them all to start answering the query, then you choose which one

Well, while training AI we make sure that we include enough training for them to pass some evaluation, but then test them on things that were not in the training data to make sure that they are not "over fitted".

The best thing from research like this is that they allow new models to be built, or improvements on the existing ones that can lead them to pass these evaluations.

The board here are more like advisors. If Altman takes all of the good engineers and researchers with him, OpenAI is no more. So the board can be the boss of nothing, sure, without the ability to do anything - leading the organisation, rais

I'm not OP, but, reverse engineer all things. You can learn how they are made, you can learn reverse engineering in general, you can make mods, hacks, cheats, spinoffs.

So... I follow Buddhism. The best thing is to be at peace with yourself, and accept that no matter what happens, everything is okay. Including death, loss of all material things, loss of sanity, imprisonment, and so on. This goes for yourse

That is correct, and it's wrong, but as a regular citizen, it's safer to assume that this is the world we live in now, and prepare accordingly, than to assume otherwise and get caught by surprise.

Let's say the public is against you (both in opinion and legally) and you need to organise your people to try to change their mind. What I'm saying is that it's wise to assume that if you have enemies, they will know a lot ab

So we should try to fix that, for us and everyone else. I know it's hard, but some things are hard. Preventing cameras etc is harder I think, because they can use "think of the children", except maybe in some parts of Europe
