Is there really no way to do this?

To be fair, the people quoted in the book don't seem to be having that much fun. But yes, most of modern tech seems to be exploiting the same mechanism, generating addiction.

Absolutely, was thinking the same. IIRC it's also only telling success stories, so people burning themselves out but succeeding in the end.

For HN and forums in general, I think this will mean disabling APIs and having strict captchas for posting. Beyond HN, I think this will translate in video content and reviews becoming more trustworthy, even if it's just a person readi

Predicting whether a text was written by a LLM or not is not trivial. What was the latest number by OpenAI? 30%? As LLMs get better, it seems like we won't be able to distinguish real text from fake text. Your LLM will be able to summa

Ah, interesting. Thought GPT-3.5 had the same structure as GPT-3, for some reason. GPT-4 would obviously be different.

Isn't ChatGPT a 165B parameter model?

This read more like a technical demo than a scientific paper. Wonder why they put it on arXiv.

It's not only about performance, it's also about maintainability. Codebases written by inexperienced programmers are extremely convoluted, nothing is decoupled and functions are extremely long and do multiple things. Extremely har

Anthropomorphization of a text completion engine. Humanity will not be destroyed by a fancy autocomplete bot. This is just alarmist clickbait, moving on.

Yes and no. You wouldn't say GPT to mean large language models or autoregressive language models. I would've thought the same to be true for ChatGPT instead of Chatbots with RL from human feedback (RLHF), perhaps the field is movi

I think I prefer the other commenter's point, referring to ChatGPT as a known learning paradigm for chatbots. But thanks for the little crash course on analogies ;)

It uses a different engine, so this is as related to ChatGPT as a Toyota Corolla is related to a BMW car. This is an efficient and open-source chatbot, which is very good news, but the authors just wrote a clickbait title and they know it.

In what way is this a ChatGPT implementation or equivalent? Seems like a chatbot based on a different backend, therefore it has absolutely zero link to ChatGPT.

AI models might be able to do this in the future by themselves, though with current paradigms AI will barely generate copies of existing levels with little creativity. Sure, a composition of existing level pieces could lead to an interest

Yeah OP missed the target on this one. Super Mario Maker is a great example of insane creativity demonstrated by a community. AI can't do that though.

Notebooks are complex because they allow you to mix different cell types and keep outputs. That's not a notebook.

What an obnoxious title and article. AI has been part of the Hollywood pipeline for a while, they have always been using bleeding edge technology, sometimes AI-assisted.

It wasn't so much a critic of your article as thinking about coping mechanisms when the volume of articles being put out is significantly increased and nobody will be able or want to deal with all this noise. Fight GPT by GPT :)

Good news is I will be able to ask GPT-like models to summarize me all these articles and I won't have to sift through them.

Also Hinton doesn't have the best track record with his already forgotten/abandoned Capsule networks. I wonder what's the next thing he's going to come up with? He gets a pass because he is famous.

If they become involved in mastodon it's going to be riddled with banners and impossible to browse without logging in. Can't wait.

Every medium has its gold nuggets. A lot of podcasts are garbage, even amongst the ones with interesting topics -- nothing more than a few bros hanging out and improvising on a topic with a little preparation. There are some very high quali

The brevity can be an advantage, I'd much prefer a dense 200-300 page essay to a long drawn out 500-page argument where the author loses both themselves and the reader. But I agree that some of those non-fiction books can be poorly wri

Agreed on the overuse of javascript, although in this case I'm reasonably confident mastodon is not using said javascript to spy on you. Nevertheless it's something mastodon should try to fix. This is very much static content, no

To me VSCode is not comparable to Pycharm for Python programming & debugging. Pycharm just works better and has much better code completion.
