Did you read the linked article? The context of this discussion is VP of Ads (Jerry Dischler) explaining on the stand what this Ad process of making changes look like, in his exec-level lingo, and news reporting on it adding another layer o

It's very simple. If it is not a refactoring, a UI/UX redesign, or a wholly new ad product, then most likely it affects average prices of running ad campaings. Even if you think it does not, maybe you slipped in a coding bug. So b

Yeah, ad campaigns have budgets, and in order to spread traffic evenly during a day, a randomized ad suppression occurs. So sometimes it is the second place bidder who will win

While folks participating in this discourse last year dog days meant all kind of things, Lemoine had a religious notion of sentience, in some non-mainstream religion, iirc something similar to: the world is full of spirits, and they are sen

Why not fine tuning? Back then, I pit it against GPT-3 playground versions that were available before ChatGPT, and I don't seem to recall RLHF being that much touted back then. RLHF seems mentioned along with the development of Instruc

It could response with something like "I'm just so scared. I don't know what to do. I'm so scared" to prompts that GPT3 would handle a-okay.

Of course. It's a movie reference. Very apt in this thread about modern action films where half of the participants opine baits. Then there are near virgins, as the saying went "admittably, it is a pleasure, but the moves are not

Yeah, what is it with 40 years old people "getting annoyed"? Too many "angry old man yells at cloud" memes, I suppose?

Of course it does it without knowing what kind of plastic, metal, or wood the cube is made of. Anyways, since it seems you misunderstood the article slightly - the 2010 brute-forcing was done with the help of a datacenter. The new guy estim

There is an example slide on page 63 of DOJ lawsuit. It shows example two top GDN bids, $1.00 and $0.96, and example two Bernake AdX bids $1.20 and $0.48. Suppose that another ad exchange bids $0.98 and Google wins the auction. What the GDN

The auction market for ads is way different than security trading. Many advertiser bids are computed by algorithms, for example it could be a base price multiplied by a predicted chance of clicking on that ad, computed by machine learning b

LaMDA consists of several fine-tunings of a single pre-trained model. Each of them generate candidate responses, the candidate responses are scored (using yet another fine-tuning of the model, iirc) and the best is selected. One expects tha

Not sure what you intended to imply, but I don't think those two consents are related that much to worry about. Copyright licenses usually are written down like this: "[you are allowed to] use, reproduce, modify, adapt, perform, d

When I read Google lays off 6% of workforce I thought they just fired the lowest bucket in the most recent performance review. Maybe they fired also those who submitted it after a deadline? On the other hand, quite a lot of laid off stories
