Perhaps the first safety standard OpenAI can implement itself is a warning or blog post or something about how ChatGPT is completely incapable of detecting ChatGPT-written text (there is no reliable method currently; GPTZero is borderline f

This is the thing that reddit should have done years ago. Great product.

Agreed. My heuristic is that GPT-4 is good for compile time tasks but bad for runtime tasks for both cost and speed reasons.

The fundamental problem seems to be that it's still slightly sub-GPT-3.5-quality, and even a long context window can't fix that. It will remember things from many many tokens ago, but it still doesn't reliably produce passabl

If you read it, a big part of the secret sauce is "actually be thoughtful and informative". Like they drop everything to investigate something and surface useful information and insights as part of the process. Seems like the oppo

I think you are misinterpreting that line as being the literally true expectation of the author, rather than the author saying what they have to say to minimize repeating of the prompt, which is not really useful output. Just because that l

>It’s that it didn’t obey what it was told. I find you basically have to stop thinking of LLMs as software and start thinking of them as unpredictable animals. If you issue a command and expect strict obedience every time, you've al

Honestly that seems so low priority. Who cares if the prompt leaks? Really, what harm was done exactly? In what way is the tool at risk?

Two dollars spent over and over would still take a while to equal a software engineer's salary, and if the end result is "produce a fully functional codebase in minutes" the premium might be worth it even if it exceeds that m

So what's the right way to do a wider-ranging analysis? Chunk into segments, ask about each one, then do a second pass to review all answers together?

It's a lot better than Mastodon, where you simply lose everything. The author totally glosses over that and scoffs at it being a real problem both in the thread linked and here in the comments, yet real people have experienced the extr

Never really understood what draws people to Cory Doctorow. Over-the-top polemics aren't really good for much except making you angrier about something you're already angry about.

That fourth point is a great one. One of the most frustrating things in software engineering is eyeballing a decision (i.e. naming a table with a plural) and just gut-level knowing it's the wrong decision, but not quite being able to

I'm flabbergasted that OpenAI does not yet offer an API that reliably returns JSON based on some schema you feed it. It's sort of possible to force it to do this but not really to a production-ready degree.

I don't like Reddit's UI for browsing subreddits that are mostly/entirely images, and I don't really like their gallery viewer either. I've always wanted something ultra-simple; just a grid of images and nothing els

Skimming has been a valid alternative to traditional reading under certain circumstances since the dawn of the written word; I don't see why this is any more offensive.

Very cool! Demo doesn't seem to work with PDFs though; that would be a useful feature.

Ghostwriter is notably worse than GPT-4, so while it may be true in a sense that "Training a custom model allows us to tailor it to our specific needs and requirements", the reality is they'd be getting better results just us

Couldn't you argue that "prevent attacks" is a functionality? Certainly it isn't "squatting" in the typical sense of "prevent someone else from using a valuable name".

It will absolutely, 100%, be in place as a fallback very soon, and be ubiquitous in that role. Just as AI is now for radiology. That's different from replacing the team of doctors and nurses, though.

by koboll 3y ago
Hospitals would love to fire all radiologists and replace them with software. They've already done it with outsourcing; a large chunk of what used to be done entirely in-house has been contracted out to remote overseas doctors.
