Okay? I specifically responded to your comment that the parent comment implied "if you make a mistake and say sorry you are also a psychopath", which clearly wasn’t the case. I don’t get what your response has to do with that.

I think the point of comparison (whether I agree with it or not) is someone (or something) that is unable to feel remorse saying “I’m sorry” because they recognize that’s what you’re supposed to do in that situation, regardless of their int

But this sounds like an ideal setup, doesn't it? Tim is fantastic at execution, but he does need a shot of big-picture vision every now and then. Tim as CEO with Steve as Chairman, steering the broader direction, feels like it could ha

I think you misunderstood what people are taking issue with. You explain that this matter is complicated and non-trivial - and yes, that’s exactly the point! People don’t have a problem with real-time communication via audio or video in gen

There is a big leap between them not being the sole person responsible for technical decisions and them not even necessarily having a seat at the table for technology direction. The former is understandable. Later - quite surprising.

That’s like saying Volodymyr Zelenskyy supports Trump. Foreign politicians operate outside of U.S. domestic politics - they don’t get to choose other countries’ leaders. Their job is to use diplomacy to navigate international politics in wh

20 million unique users is not that much. I don't understand the claim that this constitutes 9% of all IP addresses. It doesn't. There are about 4 billion public IPv4 address. 9% of that would be closer to 300 million.

I don’t see a claim that anyone with a negative attitude toward AI shouldn’t be listened to because it automatically means that they formed their opinion on older models. The claim was simply that there’s a large cohort of people who unde

Turns out what constitutes "claiming" an IP on the site is nothing like you’d expect. You don’t need to prove you control the IP. All it takes is embedding a transparent 1x1 tracking pixel on a website, and every IP that loads the

Why train the model to know how to use very specific tools which can change and are very specific only to ChatGPT (the website)? The model itself is used in many other, vastly different contexts.

It is used here as the default for cases when the user doesn't know or care about the technological details and is only interested in the end result. It is preferred because it integrates well with the built-in preview tool.

There is "performance" as in "speed and cost" and performance as in "the model returning quality responses, without getting lost in the weeds". Caching only helps with the former.

No, it's because that's what ChatGPT users internally to calculate things, manipulate data, display graphs etc. That's what its "python" tool is all about. The use cases usually have nothing to do with programming

No. It is for saving information in a bank of facts about the user - i.e., their biography. Things that are intended for "the human" directly are outputed directly, without any additional tools.

My guess: if given multiple examples of using ALl CAPS for emphasis, it would start doing it back to the user - and humans tend to not like that.

Why? The explanation given to the LLM seems truthful: this is a string that is directly displayed to the user (as we know it is), so including json in it will result in a broken visual experience for the user.

I don't think they mean "knowledge" when they talk about "intelligence." LLMs are definitely not knowledge bases. They can transform information given to them in impressive ways, but asking a raw (non-RAG-enabled) L
