> Does that mean human intelligence is cheapened when you talk out a problem to yourself? In a sense, maybe yeah. Of course if one were to really be absolute about that statement it would be absurd, it would greatly overfit the reality.

Someone needs to Tufte-fy this. I don't know if it's the hug of death or not but when I zoom out, I don't see (what I assumed would be) a distribution of deaths, a sort of heatmap of occurences. Then if you add a time dimensi

Exactly... I've found GPT-4o to be good at OCR for instance... doesn't seem "blind" to me.

Assuming signups = $, true. But not if there's some free trial or something and then you've got a conversion rate on top of that.

I couldn't agree more. We need LLMs that don't sound like anodyne predictable woke customer service agents. I always make this argument: If a human read all the text GPT read, and you had a conversation with them it would be the m

Don't think they should be selling... just talk to users, and keep iterating on it. It'll be good, it has potential, the design is good.

For anyone who has read the paper, have they provided code examples or enough detail to recreate this with, say, Llama 3? While they're concerned with safety, I'm much more interested in this as a tool for controllability. Maybe w

Thanks for the feedback! Brightened the text for now on our site + landing page, but it's probably still too dark. We plan on supporting light mode soon and giving people that toggle, will keep improving in general too.

Good point, we could disable the fade on mobile. The location of the gradient is parametric based on where the found keyword is. So if it's at the bottom, the gradient will be brighter there by default, or if the keyword is at the top,

Do you mean the search text preview? That gradient is intentional and when you hover over it (inside the actual site), it brightens up.
