Possibly, but nobody should get to decide. If it turns out these groups want their own echo chamber models, then they should be able to make them. It’s pretty simple. (Fwiw, I don’t think this scenario will occur, the author was just making

Everything in a free society is debatable. I was using that sense of the word.

Certainly it's debatable if doctors should be able to deny treatments they think aren't harmful but they see as religiously offensive. But the root disagreement here is primarily about harm, and we already have agreed as a society

No, engaging with good faith isn't a mistake, but the person you were replying to admitted in the sentence before their question that they already had decided what the answer was. This is a common communication pattern I try avoiding e

I only recommend people blocking things that they can't handle. If you can't handle opposing viewpoints, that's a big problem, but telling you that you can solve that problem by forcing yourself to be exposed to them is mista

I'm referring to scenarios where the nonsense is affecting your psychological well being. If you're in a situation where you see nonsense, see a way to refute or diffuse it, and without it causing an emotional response in that mom

What? You're jumping to so many conclusions here, it's absurd. You're going to have to go into research for a few years if you want to get anywhere on proving that the capability of the current systems is somehow determined b

Yes, we all get frustrated when we see nonsense online, but usually the best thing to do is “block and move on”

I’ve been programming for two decades and you’re just plain wrong here. It’s useful throughout the dev process for many things, the worst part right now is just how slow GPT-4 is to run inference. You’re probably not using it right, aren’t

You're making the mistake of thinking the person you were replying to was actually wondering why they would do this - and not just jumping to their own cynical conclusions (which they did before "asking" their question) and c

GPT-4 got me through porting a near SoTA image segmenter to the browser and building a prototype UX that uses the webcam to grab decals from the real world in a few hours that prob would have taken me at least 5x longer.

Why did it take almost four years to learn this?

It will.

They expect it to turn out differently because they’re building something in the style of how the web was built.

Mastodon is filling a niche, because it has to. Bluesky is designed to one day swallow Twitter.

Ok. Now someone fine tune llama on this and then you’ll be able to understand how you’ll have a custom social user agent that shields you from toxic people and moderates on your behalf.

The problem is there does seem to be a selection bias problem, where Mick gets a lot of distribution on these kinds of thing, and people do not hear the subsequent refutations from true experts about flaws in his analysis. He speaks very au

Mick West is perhaps the most popular UFO debunker, he is good faith but has a pretty large conflict of interest he has developed now given the stakes of any of these phenomena being shown to be non human created technology. That said, this

Reduction in working memory for sparse models seems pretty huge.

I really hope this is the outcome. An unlimited number of agents with Einstein level IQ. Enough to solve most any problem we have without any of the messy business of having to plunge into the unknown depths of existing alongside a hyper in

It's not funny, it's called a smart rollout strategy by people who actually know how to build a decentralized social network that stands a chance of beating twitter.

Of course this is possible but usually criticizing a dismissal like this as being wrong comes after it has been proven wrong.

yeah it worked for me. CF is now basically a bad dream.

by gfodor 3y ago
You’re probably not using GPT-4, the internet is being flooded with takes about GPT-3.5’s quality like this simply because the author doesn’t know there is a meaningful difference with the new model.

I’ve been interested in learning how to design PCBs, I wonder if this tech helps constrain the set of things one ought to focus on learning, with the assumption that AI can fill in other areas.

As someone with CF, I remember hearing about gene therapy as a kid as far back as the late 80s. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait for it for many CF patients to have their respiratory issues much improved or even resolved with CFTR modulat

Immediately checked the date - if you published this in March 2023 it's hilarious because the author can refute many of the claims here by simply paying $20 and adjusting a dropdown to "GPT-4"

An indictment doesn’t say much about if this is an example of the law applying to a political leader.
