> Copilot is backed by it too now Do you have a source for this? I've been wondering when they'd switch CoPilot over to GPT-4. I didn't expect it would happen so soon, so I'm surprised.

Man, there's probably a dozen different loosely-formed ideas floating in my head right now — kudos on the exciting presentation, you really make the problem seem interesting. I may just have to give this a shot, though I think the odds

I'm currently operating a very small (10s of millions of rows, ~20GB of total data) low-write MySQL DB with a couple different tables. I'm new to RDBs in general and am using MySQL because my thought was any "real" DB wo

Although this paper is a fairly small-scale proof of concept, I am extremely excited to see where this technique goes. Between ChatGPT and this, I get the feeling that we are just barely touching the surface of what RLHF is capable of in ge

No! The alternative is explicitly to unban the kind of housing that there's demand for. Single-family zoning prevents capitalism from doing its job properly by limiting developers' ability to respond to demand for high-density a

Definitely disagree with this take. I'd argue that all it means is that filmmakers have learned to make more exciting films. Cinema is a young art form and hasn't even been around for 200 year, it's no surprise to me that the

If it's in the company of curious, smart people like the kind I routinely encounter here on HN, then yes! Absolutely! I greatly enjoy a good round of civil speculation and discussion with my fellow hackers :P

Agreed. I am a massive fan of YouTube Premium and YouTube Music. While I am a bit nervous because major change like this could lead to those products getting worse, I'm also hopeful that it could lead to them getting better! So in gene

What "belongs" on the front page of HN is whatever ends up on the front page without being moderated or flagged. At the end of the day, HN is a community and it decides for itself what it wants to see and share with its members! L

Agreed. I would not be where I am in life today without the skills and knowledge I learned from YouTube. I am a huge fan of the way they compensate creators and align their incentives with creators' incentives, and generally just very

YouTube is one of the largest and most influential tech companies in the world, and wields huge social power. Some of the greatest content on the internet is hosted there, so it makes sense to me that HN readers would find a major change li

I'm not sure how "It just answers based on statistics" and "generating new ideas" are mutually exclusive. As a physicalist, I'd argue that the human brain "just answers based on statistics" too. It&#x

I agree. We're just barely uncovering the tip of the iceberg right now. Everything we've seen up til now has been a proof-of-concept. The true scope of this field has yet to be realized.

> It cannot generate new ideas. I don't find very much substance in this argument, given how impossible it is to consistently define "new" and "idea" in this context. At the end of the day, ChatGPT demonstrates t

Genuine question: Are you characterizing Tom Scott as a gatekeeper here, or am I misinterpreting your comment? I am not sure what your intention is here and would appreciate clarification.

I am an AI researcher, and I wholeheartedly agree with Tom here. I love AI, I love designing and training models and seeing all the amazing things they can do. But I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. Like Tom, I have no idea wh
