Medical debt is different. The legal system frowns on people running up credit card debt to pay for PS5s or nice vacations with no intention of ever paying it back. That's tantamount to theft. Most medical debt is involuntary and neces

LLMs were specifically trained to emulate human interaction patterns. Of course we sound like them at times. It's the things we can do that they can't that are relevant. If I study Einstein and learn to do a really good impression

In my experience a non technical founder should have one of the following: 1) Access to capital, normally through family or a family friend. I've worked at several companies where the main thing the CEO brought to the table was that so

This really seems like "DALL-E", but for videos. I can make cool/funny videos for my friends, but after a while the novelty wears off. All of the AI generated media has this quality where I can immediately tell that it's

Debugging is a problem. But the real problem I'm seeing is our expectations as software developers. We're used to being able to fix any problem that we see. If a div is misaligned or a column of numbers is wrong we can open the fi

Alternative theory: ChatGPT was a runaway hit product that sucked up a lot of the organization's resources and energy. Sam and Greg wanted to roll with it and others on the board did not. They voted on it and one side won. There isn&#x

Why wouldn't Ilya come out and say this? Why wouldn't any of the other people who witnessed the software behave in an unexpected way say something? I get that this is a "just for fun" hypothesis, which is why I have just

For real. It's like, did you see Oppenheimer? There's a reason they put the military in charge of that.

The people working there would know if they were getting close to AGI. They wouldn't be so willing to quit, or to jeopardize civilization altering technology, for the sake of one person. This looks like normal people working on normal

OpenAI existed for years before ChatGPT. Granted, at much smaller size and with hundreds fewer employees. I imagine that the board wants to go back to that or something like it.

If this were true they never would have had talks to bring him back. That's the opposite of steadfast commitment to principles. If Sam wronged them or the company in a significant way they never should have let him back in the building

In all these years I'd never seen this. Ironic, but not surprising, that according to this account Snowden did exactly what he accused the US government of doing: mass collecting data with no authorization or purpose and then using it

> These companies have hired focus groups, marketing experts, psychologists, and countless design teams to get people hooked on their platform. Are we really surprised? I don't think that this is the problem. From what I know, hacke

"You do not provide an API key. Please enter your openai key" I'm not entering my openai key to a random website. My billing is tied to that. This really makes it difficult to demo the product.

This idea seems like it's 100% about distribution. If I owned an extreme sports rental shop, I would have an incentive to get more people to go out and participate in the activities. If the app was well made, reputable and secure I wou

It's gotten better for everyone in the last few months. It used to be a nightmare, but I haven't seen a timeout or rate limit error in a long time.

There is no clear answer. It's debatable among experts. The grandparent post seems to believe that the issue is algorithmic complexity and programming aptitude. Personally, I think that all the major LLMs are using the same basic trans

The difference is that an LLM isn't 1000 different intelligences. It's one intelligence, being asked to pretend to be 1,000 different people. Every instance is the essentially the same weights trained on essentially the same data.

The problem with this is that it has no memory across the different contexts. An analogy would be giving one page of a five page document to five different people, then taking it away and asking them to collaborate. While they can each give

why don't they just repro their own experiment? If they can do it twice, then it isn't a fluke. at worst it's something specific to their lab. if they can't do it a second time, then the issue is settled. I'm sure i

Such a strong dismissal of another comment should come with some kind of objective evidence. Is there any way to prove that fine tuning is as valuable as you say it is?

This will create an excellent search engine but a terrible reasoning machine. There are a lot of ways to search through docs and support tickets now. The ability of an LLM to draw inferences and summarize all of that information comes from

I thought that regulation was based on the idea that it's difficult to start new, competing social networks. But the market seems to be taking care of that. Why regulate twitter if any miscellanous billionaire can start a competitive s

Data quality like you're describing just doesn't matter. GPT is trained on PEBIBYTES of data. Any individual reddit thread is an atom in a drop in a bucket. All of reddit is < 2% of the total training data, regardless of qualit
