GPT cannot currently do this (for long documents), and you have a commonly requested use case. For now you can charge as much as they do and have a decent business I'm guessing, but future depends on LLMs from OpenAI and other getting

Impressed with their long document summarization, any ideas how they do this? Seems beyond normal GPT limitations; either they have a more powerful model (doubt it) or hacked around the limitations? e.g. good summary for a very long text h

there's important professional mentoring which addresses people/org/mgmt problems, I suspect there might be other good resources on higher-level software eng skills (architecture, refactoring, code organization) - appreciate

I love apple products but I hate this stuff. They're cynically kneecapping competition and hurting consumer choice, like they're not rich enough already. Would class action be a to do thing here?

This is amazing and inspirational engineering. Can they scale this up to taking humans & large payloads to orbit? It seems hard to run this business sustainably on millionaire tourists, 4-minute science experiments and ads. Anyone have

Curious what your source for "make the cut" is. I have my own interpretation, but would like to see the original.

Yeah, just noticed. Posted this (even earlier) on Reddit ML it didn't get as much interest

a) Not sure if MIRI is a spiritual parent of OpenAI. It's a different approach to the problem, and I'm not sure MIRI would spawn OpenAI if they had the resources. b) Also, unfair to MIRI. They are not only researching the area but

ELI5: until we flew next to Pluto this month all we had is blurry 16-pixel images. How can we get such precise data on something millions of times further?

Interesting, but would this do any better than using real crime data, such as geolocated data police departments have already?

I would expect to get this kind of impression from an average researcher, because that's what average researchers do (even at AI conferences). What do the top researchers think? Google paid 10M per head for DeepMind guys, explicitly wo

Yes, absolutely there is a reason for concern. I now volunteer for FLI (the organization Musk funded; we deal with both AI and other x-risks, synthetic bio etc). From a somewhat insider view I think there is a lot we can do, and time might

The default outcomes are bad; Culture would be pretty great by comparison. Worst-case scenarios are not likely for the same reasons best ones aren't - the default is AI indifference (they use you for atoms) Since you mentioned worst, t

In the 1930s Ernest Rutherford (1871–1937) repeatedly suggested, sometimes angrily, that the possibility of harnessing atomic energy was "moonshine". The examples you mention are of things actually likely never achievable, while t

You're underestimating the field. The goal was always intelligence, and many leading researchers are pretty openly aiming for that. Stupid Mathematical Tricks are components of intelligence, and while it's true SVM with a cool new

I largely agree with you (have been supporting intelligence.org before the topic was cool) but I think if we don't achieve human-friendly AI it's on us; a real failure rather than just succumbing to circumstances (like getting blo
