IANA mathematician, but I read "axiomatic system" broadly as including not just the axioms but also the logic in which they are based. My understanding is that a common interpretation is that ZFC axioms are a list of 10 strings of

I think the most telling thing is that there is never any evidence given for these claims, especially given that there is a ton of data available. Which is pretty suggestive that the data doesn't support this, because if it did then we

Couple corrections: - They absolutely do have to serialize, usually via pickle. I'm pretty sure objects are not sharable between subinterpreters and there is not a plan for that. The main reason people think subinterpreters are good (&

You should check out the new nogil project by Sam Gross, which is what's being talked about these days -- he actually successfully removed the gil, but yes with the tradeoffs that you mention. The other projects were, by comparison, &q

Assuming those numbers are realized it would mean bankruptcy, essentially, and questions like this are pretty standard and well-thought-about there. IANAL but I think this is why Chapter 11 bankruptcy exists (where you keep the company goin

My understanding is that most of the safeguards are inside the model, but there are some safeguards that are outside the model. In particular if you ask the API to generate copyrighted data it will, but then the connection will mysteriously

Not disagreeing, but a fascinating thing they did (as a one-off fine-tune?) was teach ChatGPT about the openai python client library, including the features that were added after the cutoff date.

"copying" != "copyright infringement": I'm just saying that the LLMs are copying, and I'm not getting into the legal/societal question of whether we want that to be illegal or not. We as a society have det

Not trying to express an opinion on the legal matter, but as a technical matter it's pretty obvious that LLMs create copies of (some of) their training data. Here's GPT-3.5 reciting the Declaration of Independence: https:/&#

I'm saying `A => B` (something should be illegal if it's primarily for crime) and you're saying `-A` (LLMs are not primarily for crime), which is not really a disagreement. My point is disagreeing with the GGP who argued t

This is the "guns don't kill people, people do" argument. Not saying that that proves things one way or another, just that assigning responsibility is not really a cut and dry question and many people think that it's imp

Sorry that this is a bit of a pet peeve of mine, but I think it'd be helpful if you described what your product is: I agree it's a good idea to list its features and targeted use cases, but those are descriptive properties that do

fwiw OpenAI uses different models for ChatGPT GPT-4 and API GPT-4 (the latest one, not talking about the pinned 0314 one). In the past I noticed the API model was newer than the ChatGPT model, but in general it seems like they are willing t

"1% false positive rate => 99% confidence about a positive signal" is a really intuitive step to take, but you should be careful because it turns out to be horribly wrong in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wik

I think the term of interest here is non-computable: irrational numbers can have finite kolmogorov complexity. You're kind of "begging the question" here, where you're assuming that non-computable numbers exist and then

IANAMathematician, but it's "true" in the sense that we primarily use a set of axioms (ZF/ZFC) which produce this result. But in a sense one of the axioms is that these things exist (powerset axiom), so this result is a

OpenAI's data privacy policy is... worrying. Even when they say they don't look at your data, they leave a carve-out that they will look at it if they are "concerned" about it. I hope things like this help pressure them
