Because without it responses were sounding too human and leading to viral stories about the LLM trying to get someone to leave their wife for it. Humans have preconditioned ourselves to think of AI as cold, emotionless, and logical based

The title refers to them outperforming their previous SotA model with one a tenth the size by building off one of last year's most important research papers in generating additional synthetic data which effectively exports domain knowl

That does kind of sound like there was less specialized fine tuning and the in context learning is doing the heavy lifting.

They will. You'll never see AI products being launched without a private test phase after Bing and the Sydney coverage in the NYT. Google probably has something great and is making sure it's not too unexpected in how it's gre

Consider an even longer timespan in that "has it already happened" scenario. Locally, you are standing at the precipice of humanity bringing forth intelligence decoupled from physical embodiment. That humanity has brought forth mo

I recommend thinking through a bit more how AI will lower transactional costs as discussed in Ronald Coase's "Nature of the Firm." [1] Cheaper and unconstrained scale of labor for certain types of tasks is going to mean a lot

Lifetime fees don't make a lot of sense for products that will likely have rather short obsolescence cycles.

Without having the foundational model to compare to, there's really no way to evaluate whether OpenAI's continuing fine tuning is absolutely making it better or worse. At the same time, I'm yet again struck by the tendency fo

Venus is actually one of the examples of where the adage about religion being destroyed not being rebuilt the same way falls flat. Across different continents and different time periods, Venus's weird ass orbit has led to a number of k

I've been thinking about the privacy model of E2E encrypted channels with AI processing before sending back for a while now. Awesome to see people doing it and wish you the best of luck.

As it naturally occurs it probably was fairly innocuous in longer term psychoactive effects. Heirloom strains had CBD alongside THC. CBD on its own has been as effective in research as antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia, and very much

Just a reminder for anyone reading this that CBD has been shown to be an effective antipsychotic in its own right [1], and particularly in regards to THC related psychosis [2]. It's probably not a great idea that the industry is moving

I feel a twinge of guilt whenever I see things about how OKC got crappy. Not that long before the acquisition a certain jackass brought in as a consultant ( ahem ) happened to point to OkC as the leading competitor against the acquiring com

Very sad. There have been a great many minds that have tortured themselves over pondering the things we don't even blink an eye at today. We admire and idolize those who found the pretty pebbles that light up the shore today, and yet I

Except it won't be. Media is turning from a product into a service. The personalization impact of AI on media is going to be more profitable for the surviving media companies than static media ever was. You'll still have many of t

Actually, there was more to it than satire and comedy. WWN was made into what it was by the same guy as was behind the creation of the National Enquirer as a tabloid - Gene Pope. A graduate of MIT in just 3 years, when he bought up the Enqu

It's not just about the filter. This is a sleeper issue that's impacting all the fine tuned models right now. They trained the models to complete massive amounts of human generated text, creating their foundational models. Then th

It's interesting seeing some of the errors present in something less than a century old on the topic. "In the earliest times of which we have definite history everybody believed in many gods." Eh, not quite. You have Philio o

There was an interesting interpretation of this phrase in the 1st to 4th centuries CE. The Bible has two creation stories, and those seeking to rationalize that ended up gravitating to ideas in Plato for a solution. One group in particular

A little over 2,000 years ago someone wrote Elihu's speech in Job where he claimed God was unknowable because why it rained or where snow came from was beyond human understanding, so how could we understand something like God. Claims

You might be surprised at just how much the old Greek stories and the Abrahamic ones cross over actually. For example, the story of a sheepherder who kills an elite pre-Greek warrior with the cast of a stone. In the Bible you have David kil

Lemmy has been surprisingly good as a Reddit replacement given the relative user counts. With 3rd party apps like Sync already migrated, you'd almost not even know you weren't just on Reddit.

Great, so Go has support for native stacktraces so bubbled errors don't get shadowed? Just because Go made opinionated design decisions around their error handling a decade ago when developing the language doesn't mean that there&
