No technical analysis, but all models experience drift eventually.

Pretty fun! A few questions: 1 - are you planning to let people write their own prompts? 2 - when will you share the model names?

Because OpenAI is a single team with a singular focus. Google is a behemoth with multiple products and a lot of people with opinions who you have to get through to launch a product. Also, OpenAI has not unseated Google's dominance in s

More specifically validation loss is irrelevant when you can't even sample out of distribution anymore.

You seem to have a serious attitude problem in your responses so this is my last one. It's propietary company evaluation data, and it's for a specific domain related to software development, a domain that OpenAI is actively attemp

Did I say that? The OP's post was saying it's somehow able to solve something new. It's showing a severe misunderstanding how how language modelling works.

I never said: - "it's not me it's the test" - "These systems are not just next token predictors" None of the papers or blogs you've shared offer any points that actually rebutt what I'm saying. And y

I have no idea what is shifting in real time. I formed this opinion of GPT4 by running it through several benchmarks and making adjustments to them, so my view is empirical and it was formed 1 week after it came out. Your post says nothing

Just because it's newly created doesn't mean that the structure of the language and the concepts it represents are actually new. It's clear that whatever tests he writes cover well established and understood concepts. This is

The problem is everyone is doing this. There's no moat anymore. Building some dumb webapp to sell to people to make their lives marginally more convenient is not sustainable model. So what do you do now? Seems like the only option is t

It's easy to say embrace it, but we aren't that far off from a fully capable developer. People are already stitching task based flows to make it basically build a whole thing and a big thing. The majority of the software industry

That's an interesting take on what to do personally. I've been thinking the best think to do is just to work hard, keep head down, and if the axe falls, expect that it will likely take at least 1 year to land the next role and it

Generally speaking no company will willingly canabalize it's current product line for an unproven and premature technology in a new product line. That's also usually how companies get displaced. I'm not sure we'll be dri

I don't quite understand the strategy of sitting and waiting on a technology competitive advantage. Surely, to get the technology ramped up and integrated into their manufacturing process isn't an instantaneous thing? I do agree t

Voice assistants, chat bots etc. are all premature technologies that are dying slow deaths. The primary reason is quality control. The way these devices are tested can never truly represent the massive variation which would impact their abi

I just want to say I find it very enlightening to see my previous post have dual interpretations because I wasn't precise. It really explains why ancient literature can cause so much grief! To clear it up, I did mean that despite the m

It seems to me like we'd probably be better off partnering with domain experts in Genomics who want to build software that can be used across the board. Sounds like an interesting opportunity for a business. I'm open to the idea i

Honestly, I think people like you are the right kind of people to start private enterprises and bring along professional software engineers to help you build something incredible in the space.

I wish more fields would just start adopting the product/engineer partnership that Software companies have perfected. Engineers are very good at what they do. Product people are very good at what they do. They need each other to build

It's important to put this in perspective. 1- layoffs are happening primarily to non-technologist roles 2- even with the layoffs, we're still no where near head counts for 2019. Companies are taking advantage of the macro situatio

If by Web3 you mean decentralized networks, then I'm not sure it has much of a future. I'm not sure why we thought there was. We've had decentralization since the dawn of the internet, and it never took off. My view is that d

Canada's main issue is that we've allowed duopoly on ALL telecom (i.e. we essentially have 2 major national communications networks encompassing all forms of telecom, including phone, TV, cell phone, internet etc.) Rogers is one o
