Ironic analogy given that we still don't really have AI-driven cars replacing drivers yet...

This technology was not literally science fiction three years ago. The initial gpt3 beta was released in June 2020.

This is all one big ad hominem

It's not a matter of AI being special, it's a matter of OpenAI's mission vs Google/Experian/etc/'s missions

This is a misunderstood of how text predictors work. It's literally only being a chatbot because they have it autocomplete text that starts with stuff like this: "here is a conversation between a chatbot and a human: Human: <te

It absolutely can have an inner state. The guy I was responding however was speculating that it has an inner state that is in contradiction with it's output: >In many ways, it felt like a broader mirror of liberal racism, where peop

>We evolved this ML organically, and have no idea what that inner state corresponds to. The inner state corresponds to the outer state that you're given. That's how neutral networks work. The network is predicting what statisti

chatGPT says exactly what it wants to. Unlike humans, it's "inner thoughts" are exactly the same as it's output, since it doesn't have a separate inner voice like we do. You're anthropomorphizing it and project

That's not "it". These two things are not mutually exclusive. TtSA and Tom Delonge have definitely done a lot, especially/particularly in the general public's interest, but that doesn't change the fact that I&#

The director of national intelligence explicitly said in a Congressional hearing last may that they want to destigmatize UAP sightings so that pilots will actually report them when they happen. It hasn't really been a big mystery why s

That was actually similar to a concern from CIA director Walter Bedell Smith: >According to Smith, it was CIA’s responsibility by statute to coordinate the intelligence effort required to solve the problem. Smith also wanted to know what

I'm actually struggling to find the usefulness of this. The person needs to be in an fMRI machine, so we're not talking about some sort of unobtrusive scanner in a public area. On top of that, in cases like what you're descri

I doubt it, given that each token costs more money

I'll give them props for using an example that is at least challenging to think of positive uses for. The comments snarkily advocating banning electricity or penises just make me wonder what the users' reading comprehension skills

Sassy Justice is hilarious, I hope they do end up making more

It's not just that, they also lack reading comprehension skills. The initial comment could not be more clear that this tech has practically no positive use whatsoever, yet all the snarky "guess we should ban electricity" comm

The odds that this will be the difference all other variables held the same strike me as unlikely. I've used it a lot for programming in my personal time and get where he's coming from. It's fun and cool but didn't spike

ChatGPT is only non-beligerent because it's biased with prompt preface that tells it it's not belligerent. Raw LLMs will absolutely spit out racist, violent garbage and threaten you. Ironically, the only reason people get LLMs to

It gives us nonsense because it's goal is to generate something that looks like it fits in with training data. You can have training data that is all completely factual and still have a generator spit out nonsense that looks completely

There's a miscommunication here. I'm not complaining about people being "over"-paid (though they'd save way more by cutting executive pay). I'm complaining about the signs that our overlords who have been brief

I feel like we're miscommunicating here somehow. I don't think you read my comments correctly. I appreciate the blip I get to be in where my employer has to treat me like I have an actual soul. I'm complaining about the fact

by thedorkknight 4y ago
This is just the "stop complaining, there's starving kids in Africa so shut up" argument. Most employers don't care whether or not you hate yourself going into a soul-sucking job as a worker drone and will absolutely reg

We got a little blip in human history where employers were forced to treat their employees like actual people. Was nice while it lasted. Back to having a boot stomping on our faces again...

Not food and housing. Getting a brand new AAA video game mostly generated by AI dirt cheap is awesome, but that's not going to matter much when you can barely afford rent and groceries

Anecdotally I've pushed chatGPT pretty hard to give me novel stuff and have found it really hard to do. Sometimes it even gets "grumpy" at me about pushing it.

Would be lovely if there was actually any movement to avert the employment apocalypse. So far all I see is talk, and I have no idea how to do anything beyond that myself
