Depends on your threat model. Practically, the cloud admin would be able to dump that data in clear during processing even if that data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

This is what proper human communication is all about. Expressing yourself in writing in a way that does not leave room for misinterpretation is a skill yes, but that skill is called "writing". I feel like people who can't exp

Case in point, GPT4 is not saying "hello" with the same prompt. I mean, if you count as "prompt engineering" being able to describe requirements in a clear manner, then yes. In general all of this reminds me of the &quot

No consortiums, just subsidize cloud or infra costs only.

This is a lot of money going into compute. I will say this again. EU is sleeping on the opportunity to throw money in an opensource initiative, in a field were money matter and the field is still (kind of) level.

Prompt engineering in this way is a GPT3/4 phenomenon. The more capable the model the less tricks you need. I call that prompt engineering will evolve in memory management mostly. Yes you will need to provide some proper context etc bu

I've actually coded something like this. The trick is to split it in a smart way. What I did is the following: 1. Download the video 2. Split it in max length for whisper 3. Used whisper for transcription on the chunks 4. Used gpt for

Nerds of the 90s grew up and became a nice (more often than not) affluent market. Industry shifted to accomodate for that. I for one, enjoy it while it lasts. Because of this, a lot of cultural products made sure that the "nerds"

The usability is worse. Token limits are so much easier to reach. It's like using a model with dementia.

It completely butchers Greek. No wonder it charges some much for so little output. Every Greek character is a token. I wonder if there is space for innovation there. I would imagine that it similarly difficult for other non-English language

For anyone who didn't immediatly get why that is (me for example). I asked GPT4 to explain. Here is the explanation. The reason we wouldn't be able to know until it's too late is due to the nature of light and the speed at wh

Can someone at the EU, the only player in this thing with no strategy yet just pool together enough resources so the open-source people can train models. We don't ask much, just give compute power

I love this. I wish public discourse was as thoughtful. LLMs came and everyone suddenly forgot about neuroscience, its all about GPUs now.

Memory and reward/punishment systems are so unexplored in that context. IMO it is what it will make those systems get what a lot of people define as "agency"

Also most humans would say 1 but the truth is that you can't know. It's a stupid question getting sometimes stupid answer. I am almost tired of people coming up with ridiculous "breaks" to feel better about themselves

GPT4 has its hands tied behind its back. It does not have active learning and it does not have a robust system of memory or a reward/punishment mechanism. We only now start seeing work on this side [1] It might not know more than you a

You've clearly never been to Switzerland. If that worked (which it wouldn't), you would have better luck with bikes.

I am in this space, dealing with similar problems with similar organizations. Any DPO that is not listing you as a shared controller will be acting illegally. And they might, its still a grey area, but how many of those assesments can you h

You would be surprized how well direct democracy works in Switzerland. Proper political culture and a fairly good standard of living is the trick. The same trick Athens used back then.

This is myopic beyond reason. Inflation is now a thing so you care about it. The real problem lies in things that most western countries never had to deal with. What do you do when your country is not good at creating high-value products an

An economy run on Bitcoin is an absolute dystopia. You reluinquish monetary control to a deflationary coin, being in the whim of Bitcoin whales. People who advocate for it, either are whales or they are stupid. Ask south europe how well it

Depends on the country. For countries with a lot of "black money" and corruption there is an obvious benefit. Taxes yield less because they don't capture the whole economy, as a result taxes are increased and get paid by the

I've read about yesterday someone running LLAMA in a single GPU. Maybe if you optimise the model enough, you can give it to them as a box.

I like the idea, but I would like it even more if it was on-prem. The doctors (at least in EU) will be very wary of having their client meeting essentially recorded by a third party. With this as a cloud SaaS, patient confidentiality is ess

Ok now we need sound and/or touch. I would also wager we will need to encode some kind of "basic world understanding". The sci-fi nerd in me thinks that this "understanding" model will be where all the interesting s
