Thanks for pointing that out. It’s been driving me crazy that there’s all these sensationalist articles using that as the “smoking gun”, implying that Netflix specifically wants an AI product manager to produce television shows. As somebody

This doesn’t help you probably, but the difference between 3.5 and 4 when giving it instructions to follow is huge. I encourage everybody to use GPT-4 when possible, the differences are night and day.

Sorry, I was non-specific. If you're using ChatGPT, you're basically using a "product" that OpenAI created. It has specific system prompts and prompt engineering to ensure that it stays on the rails. If you, instead, use

This isn’t reality. Using ChatGPT this way is fruitless, because there is a system prompt you’re fighting against. I can write a one sentence system prompt for the GPT API that specifies GPT to only spit out JSON, and it works fine. It’s a

I’ve been a part of many organizations where the meetings are bad. I don’t think it’s that meetings are inherently bad, but rather how different companies and teams use them. I generally only invite people to meetings who I know will have i

I think you rightfully pointed out the "watchable" criteria. This is where we got to with 4 years of working on-and-off on it. The hard part is continuing to iterate over the structure to make it passable as a sitcom. The easy par

It’s prefabricated 3D models, rendered through a game engine. We do some specific things to make it look how it does.

:D, awesome! Our vision for this was actually just that — second screen content, not necessarily the primary thing you have on, so we love to hear that!

We generate the dialogue per every scene, every 2 minutes or so. We wanted to be able to massage the narrative over time, so the show is constructed in these two minute intervals.

We actually do scrape Twitch chat—- we have onscreen gauges, meters, etc, that the chat can interact with by saying certain things that will change what happens in the show. I just don’t have it turned on right now because our viewer volume

It’s great you read 4000 Weeks, but as others have mentioned, I’m not sure you gathered the major takeaways. 4000 Weeks is about embracing finitude and accepting that you can’t do everything. The notion is freeing, because once you acknowle

Disclaimer: I'm working on an app to solve the impending wave of generative content, so I'm somewhat biased. As I'm sure many of us did, I tested out the app here on GPT-3 output. Unmodified, it detected it was GPT-3. Great!

I feel like people are forgetting that these models are non-deterministic. You can give it the exact same input and get a different response, so "testing" in this way doesn't work. That's also why (right now) automation

This is so great and so disturbing. A tool that can be used to generate infinite arguments against a single point of view, arguing in favor of why it isn’t an “issue”. It’s like a gun arguing it can’t kill people. This is one of the more im

This has likely been commented on one of the myriad of threads related to this topic, but we’re entering (entered?) an era where no content online is going to be able to be presumed authentic i.e., written by a human. Right now, most of us
