Please stop with this psychoanalyis and mind reading with AI and human fear. It’s a thought terminating cliche at this point. In this case, it’s much simpler and more human. Largely between two humans — buckmaster and Bubeck. The interestin

Very strangely, they said something directly contradictory. initially that it was impossible to rule out whether bucmkaster’s conversations went into training data. Now they claim the opposite with full confidence.

Where did OpenAI say this? And it still leaves open the question of the prompt itself, which can just as easily encode information about the same knowledge.

At the very least, a company shrugging and saying it’s impossible to know whether academic plagiarism had occurred is a claim that needs to be justified, not taken at face value. And even if so, it should be on the company to design systems

The (unprovable, yes, without OpenAI being willingly transparent) argument is that openAI constructed a prompt to scoop them using some inside knowledge about the approach, which they allude to in the announcement. In the transcripts, Brube

This is wrongheaded in so many ways. To start -- how many of those 3,000 engineers do you think work on the mobile app? And even among those who work on the app -- do you think they're all working on user quality-of-life and just can&#

By 'coming back', do you mean actually firing it up and playing it?

The claim that they 'cannot rule out' using Buckmaster's data isn't true in principle. Trivially, imagine that the model had been trained on data only since Jan 1, but a discovery was published on Jan 2. Whether it'

That was also striking to me too, the 'we cannot rule out'. I also do not believe it. They can, trivially, rule out their model being trained on if More to the point -- of _course_ they know what data their model is trained on and

Sebastian did not deny those claims. He affirmed them, and apologized. It’s true that Tristan has no concrete evidence OAI accessed their session. It’s impossible for him to have that without OAI’s say so. Why are you framing things so pro

It’s plainly false that they cannot rule out whether their de-identified data was used in training their model. Just that they haven’t ruled it out.

Who is "Bubeck"? The article doesn't introduce him. Or give his name. Same with "Luis" and "Diego". I am supposing it is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A9bastien_Bubeck This is te

It proposed emailing the HF user it stole credentials from, right? It should've asked for a responsible adult in OpenAI.

Yeah. So many of the traces say something like: "[unethical thing] but goal". That "but goal" indicates they're directed to prefer achieving the goal. There is no 'misalignment' here. Also: does anyone els

For having a moral position on a moral topic? If he were strictly self-interested we'd have no objection to it in this culture.

Any case where someone takes a moral position is now called "virtue signaling" and "grandstanding."

> I expect the inference market to grow much faster than training costs This was my assumption as well. It's also generally true of 'traditional' deep learning models that inference cost is expensive compared to training.

I agree, and the audience also matters too. A writer speaking to writers at a writing workshop? "I'm a writer." A writer at an independent business conference? "I'm a content creator", as a means to relate to p

I see that abstraction as the purpose of the word when viewing it from a 'business' context: when assessing businesses of the same kind, the actual thing that's being produced matters a lot less. I'd suppose that blog wr
