That only works if the generated outputs are completely independent and not correlated. I'd be interested in research that shows whether multigen actually reduces hallucination rates.

Yeah. The results are impressive and I can't deny the value when ChatGPT is able to get things like this right. But especially given how much disinformation is starting to be spread on the internet these days and how it's all bein

This only shows that ChatGPT is as good as or better than your traditional search and not that it's gotten the law right. Unless you go to a lawyer and confirm this doesn't say a whole lot especially considering how prone LLMs are

Before social media no one had interactions on social media because social media didn't exist. Now if you avoid social media you become the kid who sits alone at the lunch table and weren't allowed to go outside to play with kids

They usually don't require code updates but as the platform changes, they might have changing requirements or new policies that need to be acknowledged. I don't do extension development but I have a few apps and over the years I&#

While that's true, there are also projects that can live and die with very few code changes for years. And as long as those projects are continuing to provide value for their lifetime, I'd call that a successful project. On the ot

I think the problem with the town you grew up in is that they didn't build any good modes of transportation and not that they didn't build freeways. Sure freeways can fix the problem of people getting from point A to point B, but

What type of organization are you operating where you'd need a .gov? Is this a government organization (like a local government or city hall)? Or is it possible for even random non-government related non-profits to have legitimate uses

I'll pay for the domain if you find a way to buy a .gov as easily as you can buy a .com. I don't even think a regular citizen can get a .gov unless you incorporate a new city or something like that.

This line of thinking only works if it's impossible to imagine a world where OpenAI isn't the leader. In 2 years if the non OpenAI models are better then it will serve us much better to allow these tools to work with other models
