I’d say reading is fine tuning. It changes your weights. That’s the whole point of doing it.

Nobody is copying their model parameters or inference code. What people “suck out” of their API are the general ideas. And they do it specifically so they can reassemble them in their own way. It’s like reading all the Jack Reacher novels a

OpenAI is taking the position similar to that if you sell a cook book, people are not allowed to teach the recipes to their kids, or make better versions of them. That is absurd. Copyright law is designed to strike a balance between two iss

I’d be interested in hearing more about how to “abuse” compression algorithms to detect outliers in datasets or to filter out repetitions. For example, LLMs or Whisper sometimes get stuck in a loop, repeating a word, a group of words, or wh

Good question. When BF Skinner used to train his pigeons, he’d initially reinforce any tiny movement that at least went in the right direction. For the exact reasons you mentioned. For example, instead of waiting for the pigeon to peck the

The whole point of RLHF is to make up for the fact that there is no loss function for a good answer in terms of token ids or their order. A good answer can come in many different forms and shapes. That’s why all those models fine tuned on (

If by LLM you mean embeddings I agree. Though you can often get away with using much smaller models for that. I was talking about people who actually make a call to a completion endpoint and then have the LLM repeat the input text token for

There are AI bros that will call an LLM to do what you could do with a regex. I’ve seen people do the chunking for RAG using an LLM…

iOS Voice Dream Reader. First app I install on a new iPhone since 2010 I believe. I will even cut and scan physical books just so I can read them in the app. The story of the guy who made it is also interesting!

It seems to me that you have no idea what the word fraud means. It’s a legal term. It has nothing to do with whether you like or agree with something.

Good point with the HTML in the training data. I always found the “structured output feature” thing odd. LLMs will follow any structure present in the prompt. So with a few few-shot examples, you have always been able to make them do anythi

I also find the conclusions odd. Could it be that for the rich people, Wikipedia is just entertainment, whereas people in poorer countries actually seek to understand a topic in order to solve a problem?

Context: We do pay ~0.20 Euros of taxes per kWh. You have to add that to the actual power price. (And we do pay tax on income before we use that income to pay for power to our homes.)
