Won't this just make everyone much more reliant on these technologies since they cannot to any task without asking the "omniscient chatbot"?

Just wanted to say thank you for all the incredible work and resources you publish. I've lost track of all the different skills I've learned from you, from computer vision, RNNs, minGPT, even speedcubing :D

I would love to see a minInstructGPT or a minRetro, or maybe something that combines instruction and retrieval into a readable codebase!

A 5 page PDF report has X amount of bits of information, whereas a paragraph has ~X/25 (5 paragraphs per page) amount of bits. Its an impossible task to retain the same information. But it might be interesting to create an Autoencoder

Very nice! I've never played Zork, but if someone is able to solve for scene continuity, I can imagine this opening up a whole new way of playing games. Either way, there's going to be a whole new field to adapt these generative m

Interesting how two camps are emerging for LLMs. This one is about how GPT actually learns something, the other one represented by Chomsky and Gary Marcus represent how GPT has learned nothing ( https://news.ycombinator.com/i

I agree that society has been designed to make things more and more convenient in the name of progress and that we haven't made the nutritious food convenient yet. Stated another way, poor nutrition is the default choice in most of the

I agree that we have incredible waste on both sides, but there is an even greater culprit: people are lacking true meaning and purpose in their lives and are indulging in these foods to distract themselves from their inner emptiness.

I guess the question is: what is the maximum number of pages from these books one can realistically digest and internalize in a year and how do sort on those pages for the most valuable ones

Very cool. It looks like you train your transformer model as normal and then fine tune it some more with a reward model

I studied math for several years and got honors and everything in it so I thought I would be among the top math students at my university. Then I took the Putnam and signed up for PhD level classes which quickly changed my view. Still, prog

For the majority of your time only look at content that fills gaps in your knowledge tree that is beneficial for you. You will retain this information naturally since it will be supported by previous knowledge and reinforced with future con

chatGPT is simply a GPT model fine-tuned in an instruction oriented way to align with human-rated helpfulness, truthfulness, and harmlessness as a reward signal. The diagram on the chatGPT blogpost is literally the same diagram in the March

These LLMs will make the text-based internet unusable eventually. Unless someone solves the problem of verified identities on the internet, sites will be flooded with confident AI-generated prose that is completely wrong.

chatGPT is awesome, but until we can deploy our own chatGPTs cheaply and easily, AI will remain in the domain of large monopolistic corporations

Its so interesting seeing how these txt2img models represent text. Its sort of like how someone who doesn't know how to read might represent language, as shapes instead of characters and words. That said, it would be a fun experiment t

100% agree. Too often we hype up technologies and try to force fit problems to them.

Without a specific example its hard to pin point why your conversations are like this, but what works for me is giving the other person a "conversational framework" in which to fill out information, and giving reasons why that inf

I like this tour of pi, however 2 pi i being a period of the exp() function seems quite related to circles to me. Either way, that last bit about the gaussian distribution minimizing entropy and convolving with itself was really amazing. So

The highest leverage is not which books, but who to meet. Find people you can discuss these topics with and that will push you're thinking the most. For this forum, I'm assuming you are looking for math / science books (other
