I think addressing people's expression of skepticism of the average motives of journalists by simply making the unqualified claim that the people expressing skepticism "know nothing" made the opposite point than you intended.

In the author’s defense they mentioned the NASA standard, and that guide— while legendary— isn't a "lacing" guide. Of the 50+ images, only 2 show lacing (acceptable v. unacceptable), and the rest is spot tying, zip tying or o

You’ve clearly been a victim of victims before. Your detailed analysis of these harms they’ve performed against you, and your warning not to listen to victims, is very concise, detailed, and clearly derived from experience. I think you’re r

This is exactly what happened in digital audio signal processing and recording, where word size represents amplitude. 12-bit audio was the first word size that provided a pretty good noise floor by the late 1980s, a real improvement over 8-

The workflow update-deps.yaml will periodically check for new updates of SBCL or the linked libraries. If an update is found, it edits build.env and creates a pull request that will check that the set of dependencies can be compiled and li

McQuillan’s central point here that ChatGPT is a “bullshit generator” and not “artifically intelligent” is really apt. What we’re often working on in the industry is emulating the worst uses of intelligence processes, that humans also use,

Meta comment: I understand why this was downvoted and am impressed (not complaining at all) but please keep in mind that the top of the thread ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34677527 ) was later hijacked by a complete

Yup, you’re dead on, that’s how "engagement" tends to work, but hook is not also line and sinker, no? So advanced speech generation models are now having to account for engagement— contextually— as well. It’s all getting much more

I kind of do think some people do get hired to continue to be like undergrads, and ChatGPT is turning into a pretty good undergrad. I really don’t know what the progression is going to be, but it seems like a widening in the middle of Morav

Spoken like a truly based groyper. :D I understand, yes, all things are composed of atoms, electrons, etc. All computation is achieved through calculation, or to be more precise, processes like execution of instructions and transistor flipp

Agreed that comparing everything to our (very incomplete) understanding of human cognition & intelligence quickly gets into metaphysical-style speculation of the human vs. the animal vs. the machine type that I don’t have much time for.

I see. I call this the “all code is just a really big abacus” argument. Others call it algorithmic reductionism or essentialism, and I will argue for it too in many cases. (I don’t get too bent out of shape about it, even when shallow depth

Conversely, someone could argue you might be under thinking the behavioral-style implications of what the word training means in machine decision making scenarios. Think about something like a GAN, even. The concepts at play are not as si

How could you discuss this openly so brazenly? I fear for your security. Good luck, I hope you know the hand signal It’s wild how many people will split hairs lingually over models that are the result of a TRAINING process :D

That's more or less correct. My post was targeted to the investor segment of HN readership about labor automation, displacement, and re-valuation. The coder/techaesthete segment has focused exclusively on 1/7 sentences of my

Lol on the "chicken"x4 plan, here’s hoping. I’ll let you in on a tiny secret: I only really focus on the incentives exploit in one of seven sentences in the OP. I agree, the Reddit premise is a bit of a stretch, but not to the bre

I couldn’t disagree more that our heuristics don’t fail constantly, especially at the group level, but please do send the link to buy the tinted lens glasses you’re wearing. I want a pair ;) In all seriousness I agree tho, intelligence does

I think it's not so much “buying" it, as understanding the larger point that’s being made about the class of technology in order to make much more critical points. Quibbling over the later stages of exploit execution instead of fo

I don’t think we’re in actual disagreement, and this is no prob, but I think you’re hung up on the word comprehension, which you introduced in your first reply “Is there any evidence that ChatGPT has any comprehension…” and then I intention

This is the comment I was waiting for. I knew the overview of prompt overloading with ChatGPT already, and this story was obviously as much as of a form of exploit entertainment for us old phone phreaks etc. as anything else. Really I’m try

“There’s more than one way to skin a cat” is a very strange expression a highly skilled worker who trained me in a complex task twenty years ago would put it. All the ways of skinning the cat work. No, I still don’t totally understand the e

Go get ChatGPT to override its policy without using incentive mechanics^, then you can pontificate ;) That’s what TFA is about ^edit: which is already known to be possible, but doesn't devalue the success of an incentives-based exploit

by digitailor 4y ago
ChatGPT is executing and evaluating in order to perform acts, including overriding creator's policy in this case. I'm not concerned with “anthropomorphizing;” even lists can be comprehensive.

While there’s undoubtedly demand for Blackwater meets Uber in the nouveau riche set, I don't think this goes far enough in securing the arriviste’s perimeter. How can I be sure my Gigachad operatives aren’t also being hired by my many

I agree it’s not evidence of ChatGPT being human, but you just described an agent comprehending incentive mechanics in order to override established policy, yeah

Using a reward-penalty system to achieve this “exploit” is pure behaviorism, going to show once again that we’re not just creating “artificial intelligence,” we’re emulating our own fallibility. Giving us things like advanced parroting skil

Disney’s 2021 “Cruella,” based on the 101 Dalmatians franchise, has a main villain who tries to kill her own daughter. Lot of complexity there. Great film.
