The only book I saw mentioned that may be considered sexually explicit was one about a boy suffering rape and incest. I'd accept it's probably not appropriate for a school library to have a book like that freely available to stud

Sex is abnormal now? FWIW I don't see any need to push descriptions of sexual activity into kid's faces, most of them are unlikely to find it terribly interesting anyway and there's something to be said for the fact that we c

Can you give an example of sexually suggestive writing that you would classify as "porn"? "Explicit" is quite different to "suggestive".

I didn't ask about sexually explicit material though - "explicit" and "suggestive" are quite different. My expectation is that most kids (below the age of 12 or so) wouldn't even recognise a lot of sexually su

Is there evidence sexually suggestive material has a negative effect on kids? Which specific books did you have in mind anyway?

LLMs may well obviate the need for further JS frameworks - at least ChatGPT seems to be just a capable of generating pure JS vs framework-based JS from what I've seen so far. At any rate the sorts of things it's good (and not good

I thought the equatorial areas were some of the least affected by climate change (at least in terms of temperature)? If it were the primary driver of migration from central America you'd expect to see it in other parts of the world at

While the maturity of the field is surely part of it, the fact remains that a typical piece of computer software almost certainly has a lot more unique complexity and functionality than a typical building. It's pretty rare a building

Absolutely, and clearly in many cases such an accurate description couldn't be supplied purely by the patient self-describing their symptoms. But for others it seems fairly plausible. I'd still expect to see qualified professional

I've never got any impression either side is about to win at all. And yes, there are plenty of wars historically (and even recently, e.g. the Syrian civil war) that have dragged on for many many years. But Putin would never have launch

I would actually assume there is something more powerful than ChatGPT-4 at work helping the US military right now. Likewise for Russia. There's even a possibly that's the reason the conflict is dragging on so long.

Even if had he no financial stake in the company it's clear (and understandable) that he feels a sense of ownership of what it does today and wants to see it continue to succeed. To the point he's definitely likely to be somewhat

I would think an LLM trained on an accurate description of virtually every medical diagnosis ever made (along with a description of the treatment and outcome) would be far more capable of diagnosing almost any newly described condition bett

Sure, I agree with that. But it will very different to how programming is done today, and I'd suggest there'll be a lower bar to becoming capable of formulating such requirements and ensuring the software works as expected than th

Currently ChatGPT isn't, at least via public access, hooked up to a compiler or interpreter that it can use to feed the code it generates into and determine whether it executes as expected. That wouldn't even seem particularly dif

It's worth wondering though how long it will before ChatGPT could give you complete instructions for building a machine/robot capable of doing any of those things...or better still, building a factory that can churn out millions o

In which case why bother producing them at all? They're hardly an efficient way for computers to communicate.

I'd suggest it's not typically thought of as including local government. It is a peculiarly overloaded term though, particularly if you live in a country where "state" is a key governmental/administrative division!

It doesn't strike me as being much of a leap from what we have already, certainly not compared with traveling to the stars.

But why would anyone bother with using AI to generate human readable code if the AI can generate the final desired behavior directly, either on-the-fly or as executable machine code?

by wizofaus 4y ago
I'll be genuinely surprised if we don't have tools with that sort of capability within 10 years, quite possibly much sooner.

It doesn't seem so far-fetched to believe somebody could learn chess just by watching others play it, no language needed at all (except perhaps reading the body language of being glad to win). But I imagine LLMs will soon have the abi

Seems odd being beaten at chess by a computer (something that has been happening for over 25 years, even if you're a grandmaster!) would be the trigger to decide ChatGPT-4 will change the world...

I'm pretty sure the reason human physical labour hasn't been replaced yet in many areas isn't because AI tech hasn't advanced sufficiently - there are real engineering challenges in automating physical interactions with

You're assuming that the AI is even generating anything that will make sense to a human. It seems inevitable we'll reach the point that for SaaS the AI will do everything directly based some internal model it has of what it believ

If it's defined as only having access to an income below some percentage of the mean (or even median), it has some value, though it's certainly debatable how much. I'd be more interested in measures that looked at what percen

https://medium.com/illumination/i-put-chatgpt-to-the-test-he... has some examples of simple maths/logic problems it can't really solve. It'd be good to know how much better chatgpt-4 is at them.

by wizofaus 4y ago
Presumably because it's similar enough to descriptions of problems and how they were solved that are in its training data.
