Writing in a language that I don't know that well, but I know enough. Okay, my javascript isn't the strongest, so I'd prolly have to spend 30-45 minutes just coming up to speed again on my basic AJAX and modern syntax, or BAM

I copy pasted the attention is all you need paper into ChatGPT4 and gave it the prompt "Explain like I'm 5 years old". The Transformer is a new type of computer program that helps translate languages and understand sentences

It's so easy to fall for it as well, even as someone who has been using LLMs since they came out. Just the other day, I was using ChatGPT on my phone, when I found myself asking whether it was GPT-3.5 or GPT-4. Didn't realize I wa

These models can run FP16, with LLM quantization going down to Int8 and beyond.

But yet it can understand a json data schema from example and write javascript to interact with a library that I fed it and asked it to understand. Yes, I know its limitations, but it can also surprise me.

Looks like a quick blog post by a PI outlining 3 of their lab's projects and giving a quick overview of their research directions. I wouldn't take it as an informational article in the sense you're looking for. It's more

Is it strange that I think it's more likely that LLMs generalize and synthesize new things out of old patterns instead of just copying a singular example.

Classic doubled edged sword, perhaps the one stable thing about so called technological revolutions. Yay industrialization, boo child workers. Yay, social media, boo increased teenage depression, Yay AI, boo AI.

I don't know about about this model, but usually with these ML models you download the static weights, but nothing is stopping you from fine tuning them to your needs/new information. It's not automatic, would require some ML

Yeah I grew up doing Transcendental Meditation, the instruction was that any effort was too much effort. It took me so long to grasp this concept, but eventually it clicked. It's a hard concept to convey, because lots of things can com

And at 9th grade it's a free for all? Looking back the high school years would have been the worst for my own self esteem, angst, etc. Glad none of it was recorded. :)

Yeah, I remember how things were before yuge public LLM (don't you? it was like a few months ago), and a PR official would have roasted for picking a Hallmark card at anytime in my lifetime.

I think it seems likely any thing similar to a blog farm you describe would also get detected by the AI. Maybe we will just develop AI bullshit filters (well embeddings) just like I can download a porn blacklist or a spam filter for my emai

Great, not only is ChatGPT better at rhyming than me, it also sounds more sophisticated while doing it. LLMs fail to pass for sophomoric when viewed by an expert, but to the mediocre it exposes one's shortcomings. Maybe because they so

This is incredible, think of the applications! Running a terminal inside a WASM VM inside a browser running from your VT100 terminal is now possible. I am literally floored, and I've been waiting for this moment for years. Thank you fo

Someone has to pay to run the AI though. With Bitcoin it's a bit different, you mine and you get money directly. Even if you have a AI burning GPU cycles all day generating content, you still gotta turn it into cash.

I don't even think it extends to this, it's simply because it's automated. I have no talent in the area, but I know that artists can copy one another's styles. You see it in talented art student master copies, and hell I

It's really crazy the lengths people go to "filter" these models and limit their output, and of course soon these filter will be a another level of "AI" (see Pathways or any mixture of experts, maybe add some contex

Well if it used to cost you $1 for 1hr at 1x speed, now it will take you 10hr at 0.1x speed, and if my math checks out $1. You need to shrink the model.
