Definitely. GPT4o has a voice that sounds like Scarlett Johannson? They'd probably get away with it, I'm sure there are a lot of people that sound like her. Tweeting a reference to a movie she was in - a bit more murky because it&

You can't compare VC behaviour when interest rates are low to when they're high, because when they're low they're handing out money to anyone with a pulse, and when they're high they're checking if pitches say

There's a lot of this with current AI - someone will write a piece titled something like "LLMs are not suitable for brainstorming" or "GPT4 is useless for programmers" or "AI image generation has no use cases&q

Because facts aren't copyrightable. I think it's good that Google Search is getting shaken up. There's too much useless blogspam put together by "SEO experts" that nobody actually reads or wants to read, and if it&#

It actually depends on "is-number", which is a very useful package containing num => typeof num === "number" No joke.

Could the US implement something like Australia’s superannuation? Every year, x% of your wage is put into a fund you choose, which invests according to your choice of strategy. You’re not allowed to access it until retirement age, and you g

I don't think this is likely, because we don't run into advanced AI civilisations either. The paper says it's because the AI would have different goals like improving efficiency, but you can only increase processing power by

This is very cool, I really like how seamless each tile is. Are they generated new for each user or do they get cached for everyone?

I'm not so sure about "all publicity is good publicity" - it's true that it works if nobody has heard of your product. Sales-wise, it's better that a million people hear about it and 70% have a negative view of your

There's nothing special about a chatbot giving you false information if you specifically go in and try to jailbreak it so that it does that. You can go into the Coca-Cola website and use inspect element so that it says that Coke gives

They only got $9000 each? That seems like a very small amount of money for a lot of work, and it's probably not getting divided up equally either. What's their motivation to get into this kind of scam? Spain's GDP per capita

Sounds like they were inspired by the "Boar on the Floor" episode of Succession, playing a kind of dominance ritual over the prospective employee in the guise of "a bit of fun".

The commentators there are saying it’s a coverup because it can’t actually get a list of male artists, but that’s a very trivial job for an LLM - try asking ChatGPT to tell you which of a list of names are male. What I think is more likely

GPT models tend toward purple prose - "an elegy to the intangible plague that had unmade the certainty of their intertwined tomorrows" is very showy, which is good when you're trying to prove that your model knows how to put

It could be a nice-to-have to feed the database schema into an LLM to allow it to generate queries (would of course need a step to double check in case it hallucinations a query that drops your tables, or limit it to SELECT), then run the L

There's a jump in Covid times but you can see on the graph that it started around 2011, which is about the same time US life expectancy started stagnating. It's interesting that Australia has a life expectancy of 83 years, 7 years

I think it's outrageous that my government seems to think they have the right to censor, worldwide, anything that originates from Australia. Say something happens in the West Bank that Israel doesn't like anyone seeing, do they ge

Australia shouldn't have rights over content worldwide simply because it was filmed within Australian borders - what if Russia, or China or Israel used this same reasoning? They would be able to block Westerners from seeing anything ha

Are its outputs in the "ChatGPT style" due to fine-tuning? It does seem to use a specific style that would be relatively uncommon in the data it was trained on, but it might be overrepresented in fine-tuning data.

It's less the individual words and more the structure of the text. Normal people say delve sometimes, but ChatGPT tends to use a particular structure. You know it when you see it. It seems overly excited, it uses more words than it nee

'Relative to' rather than 'faster than', as in the speed of light being 20x slower or human perception and reflexes being 20x faster, or some mix of the two. If people were thinking way faster then the lag would be unbea

Do we need to rethink the idea of global social media platforms? Maybe even the idea of a global internet. If countries like Brazil or India want to have everything censored then perhaps western companies should simply withdraw their main p
