You’re still in the command paradigm with some batch processing thrown in. With an LLM interface to a db you don’t write queries, you express an intent such as “I’d like to know why my customers are not resubscribing” and the LLM will write

Vapid bullshit is just the default style since it’s the most common format on the web. If you provide a style example, hard data or the right magic words it can produce any type of written content you want.

It’s still action/response you have to tap buttons and make choices based on what you see on the screen. The new paradigm would be to tell Uber that you need a ride later after the party and then it figures out when and where to pick y

Try out functions in a throw away branch or repo, I wasted a day switching over to them only to find out that they don’t work with my use case at all.

Having no UI sounds horrible. I don’t want every random desire I have to be satisfied immediately. I’d rather have what I need available at the appropriate time and in a reasonable quantity and have the parameters of that system be easily a

The current systems do let you iterate, that’s why they use a chat interface. Has everyone just been firing off a single request and then giving up if the first response isn’t perfect?

Under the new UI paradigm the ad comment button would let you submit something like “I disagree with this, provide a three paragraph argument that cites X and Y refuting this claim” and it would write the text for you.

I think you’re weighting the contribution of authority a bit too highly. The bad actors to be concerned about are a very small percentage of the population and we do need institutions with authority to keep those people at bay but it’s not

Those fall under the second category in the article. No different from using a command line application and passing in a set of parameters and receiving an output.

I use it every day to help solve problems, that’s enough for me to say it has some level of reasoning ability. Not claiming its perfect but it’s better than some people I know.

How? It can use what’s in its context window. I can copy paste documentation or code it’s never seen before and ask it to operate on it and get useful answers. This is what practically all the new AI tools are built on.

I think the argument is to loosen the regulation on human trials, not to drop all regulation on drug companies. They should still have to prove that they’re doing legitimate research and have had some success before opening it up to humans

Once it can read, has a broad vocabulary and can reason enough to synthesize information from what is given then you don’t need to train it any further. We’re at that point now. Everything going forward is just engineering, even just findin

What you call forcing sounds more like legal precedent established slowly over a long history of commercial law. Forming a coop is not illegal it’s just unusual. The more people that do it the more the law and the legal profession will acco

You’re free to try those out for yourself just don’t go trying to force everyone else into it. There are much bigger barriers to a global workforce though like timezones and language.

This is where remotes are trying to force the in office people to cater to them. A proper compromise would be better microphones like lapel mics that are used in panel discussions or a single high quality conference mic. One of the reasons

Same distinction for ChatGPT. The personal account using the web interface has a disclaimer stating data may be used. The API and the private instance have policies that state data will not be used or retained.

I don’t see how these are different from any of the usual platitudes everyone commonly uses. I’d worry about everyone sounding the same but nevermind because we all use the same turns of phrase already.

Not sure that’s true. I haven’t completely filled the context with examples but I do provide 8 or so exchanges between user and assistant along with a menu of available commands and it seems to be able to generalize from that very well. No

What’s your problem? There’s nothing overhyped about that comment. People, including me, are building complex agents that can execute multi stage prompts and perform complex tasks. Comparing these first models to a basic unit of logic is

Do they have to start over from scratch or can they use all of the data they currently have and then either add more scraped data that has been curated by humans or just outright buy data that isn’t publicly available. Considering that RLHF

You’re not alone in thinking that. The value in using Reddit as training data would be the question response format of threaded comments. The downside is that the vast majority of comments on Reddit are very low quality and repetitive. You’
