Millions of Americans watched the Capitol insurrection play out live on tv. That has an impact on the national psyche that's very similar to a terrorist attack. People aren't going to forget about it because we all witnessed it to

We have that now, it's called googling. you could easily hire 100 people to do that job, but you'd have to pay them at least $15/hr now on the US. Say equivalent gpt-3 servers cost a fraction of that. How do you make money wi

"More speculatively, being able to use natural language to supervise or give feedback to automated systems that have little to do with NLP seems very very useful." I agree with this, and it isn't entirely speculative. One of

In my experience, the output from GPT-3, DALL-E, et al is similar to what you get from googling the prompt and stitching together snippets from the top results. These transformers are trained on "what was visible to google", which

why does this matter? the internet is filled with millions of very low quality human generated discussions right now. There might not be much of a difference between thousands of humans generating comment spam and thousands of gpt-3 instanc

No product can solve the problem of self-discipline. The problems you're describing are an aspect of human nature. At some point, users will become particularly busy with something for days or weeks. After which they will dread seeing

facial recognition tools and Clearview AI existed on Wednesday, when people invaded the capitol and then stood around taking selfies for an hour. It's possible that most of them had never heard of facial recognition or didn't real

People say that censorship is wrong because good ideas should beat out bad ideas in the public discourse. Truthful and science based thought has won this battle. That's it, there isn't a rematch. At the end of a sports contest, on

Tell the trump supporters you know that this is about imminent threat. trump's words just started a historic riot, and it looks like he may say more things that spark unrest in the immediate future. This isn't about both sides or

Parler is (or was) the #1 downloaded app on the App Store, according to some metrics. You don't need an algorithm to see that. It's a PR nightmare, and this is the common sense thing for any global brand to do

People express themselves politically through voting. These people in particular had every form of expression available to them. They discussed whatever they wanted, and I can provide you with links where you can see those discussions

What you'll get is the same thing as GPT-3: the equivalent of googling the prompt. You can google "implement a scientific calculator" and get multiple tutorials right now. You'll still need humans to make anything novel

If I recall correctly, Viglink does affiliate marketing. Essentially they are setting an affiliate cookie to make money from anything you purchase on Amazon, Walmart.com, Ebay, etc. This cookie will override any other that was already set.

to follow up on your good points, any app or device that limits phone use is like telling an alcoholic to hide liquor from themselves. It obviously won't work because addiction is very powerful. There aren't any devices or particu

People are the problem, not Facebook. Conspiracy theories, FOMO and interpersonal toxicity existed long before social media, in roughly the same proportions. FB can prevent overt scammers and bad actors from using their platform, but that&#

grandparent comment is saying that you _have_ to be able to apply the data and training techniques to a use case. what you're describing is the nocode fantasy where non-developers will be able to name complex apps, but applied to ml

This is a bold prediction. It sounds plausible, but I would doubt the ability of the federal government to do this effectively. what constitutes "social media"? further, shutting down websites at random or just specific domains wo

The sociopath thing is just text classification, you could do that now without gpt-3. Video data would be significantly more difficult to model because it doesn't follow a simple set of rules like written language does

Think of how difficult it would be to identify or classify anything at the data scale of "all of google". You can parse that into tokens and calculate aggregate relationships, but that's about it. You can use gpt-2/3 to

all of search isn't question/fact based. I'd love to see the real numbers, but I'd think that less than a third of all searches are suited for a factual question answer system. Google search is still largely based on hum

one of the rules of modern warfare is "don't use a drone when a bomb would do". I'm certainly not worried about collateral damage to trees. if my target is in a forest, just blow the whole thing up
