What you explain here also explains the current problems in AGI research. sigh Humans keep thinking that reality, like the sun once did, revolves around them.

We've been largely remote so far. I'm international myself.

Very strange to see no comment on this indeed! If any Coqui users need managed support, I'm with LMNT.com and we're happy to help-- email me ali @ lmnt.com

The profit cap model is so strange because they premised it on the inevitability of AGI/superintelligence.

Those zillions of lines are given to ChatGPT in the form of weights and biases through backprop during pre-training. The data does not map to any experience of ChatGPT itself, so it's performance involves associations between data, not

I totally agree. They must be under so much crazy pressure at OpenAI that it indeed is like a cult. I'm glad to see the snake finally eat iself. Hopefully that'll return some sanity to our field.

My basis for these claims is from my research career, work described so far at aolabs.ai; still very much in progress, but form what I've learned I can respond to the 2 claims you're poking at-- 1) we should agree on what we mean

by mi3law 3y ago
It can be useful in certain contexts, most certainly as a code co-pilot, but that and yours/others' usage doesn't change the fundamental mismatch between the limits of this tech and what Sam and others have hyped it up to do.

by mi3law 3y ago
Not quite accurate. OpenAI is set up in a weird way where nobody has equity or shares in a traditional C-Corp sense, but they have Profit Participation Units, an alternative structure I presume they concocted when Sam joined as CEO or when

Can you please try to recall and link to the interview? I'd love to see it.

My friend, I agree with you on the source likely being a fundamental or philosophical differences. The lie that I was calling out is that AGI/superintelligence is "the most important invention," and that's philosophical

by mi3law 3y ago
I think my point is different than what you're breaking down here. The only way that OpenAI was able to sell MS and others on the 100x capped non-profit and other BS was because of the AGI/superintelligence narraitive. Sam was tha

The statement he mad about AGI needing another breakthrough was not a scripted statement, so I don't think he was directed to make it. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjpNG0CJRMM&t=3705s Altman has b

by mi3law 3y ago
On the contrary, the video you linked to is likely to be part of the lie that ousted Altman. He's also said very recently that to get to AGI "we need another breakthrough" (source https://garymarcus.substack.com&#x

My theory as a pure AGI researcher-- it's because of the AGI lies OpenAI was built on, largely due to Sam. On one hand, OpenAI is completely (financially) premised on the belief that AGI will change everything, 100x return, etc. but th

No, I don't see this as accurate. A body has a whole host of intelligence built into it, and can even learn (more akin to habituation). The underlying infra which you are suggesting could represent a body of sorts for AGI completely la

by mi3law 3y ago
I mean to emphasize that AGI is being built only in the shape of mind, as if mind is separate from body, which is clearly not the case in our human experience of general intelligence.

by mi3law 3y ago
Aye. For someone building in AI, it's been a heart wrenching few months. Very few know what they're talking about.

by mi3law 3y ago
Excellent observation. The single-threaded effort dominating AI today (i.e. the base assumption that OpenAI can scale GPT up as it is today into AGI) is what's causing the bottleneck. Assuming AGI can be built as 1 system is assuming t
