Eh.
Altman has a financial incentive to lie and obfuscate about what it takes to train a model like GPT-4 and beyond, so his word is basically worthless.
People can be honest even when money is involved. His word is worthless because it's Altman

Good. Samsung is removing that blogspam of a search
I know in the last thread everyone said he was a hero. But I looked at his bio and his last job was a token selling scam. Maybe he made some enemies

> Andreessen Horowitz is now openly courting capital from Saudi Arabia, despite U.S. strains.
I didn't know US' relations with Saudi Arabia were strained. SA imports hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons from USA every year.
They did murder an American journalist for criticising their rules in his writing
ChatGTP/4 is to AGI what pepper’s ghost is to holography.
It’s a parlor trick, even if you add plugins or the ability to call other hugging face ML models - it’s just a parlor trick with fancier bells and whistles. All it is doing is using stochastic gradient descent to predict the next word in a sequence based on an enormous sophisticated training set designed to amaze people.
Thinking it has advanced because it can now get calculations correct is a fallacy. It’s still just predicting the next word, it’s just that it’s now got a post processing step that is converting those next words into code and parroting the output. It maybe be able to now answer 4567*9876 correctly (using the human hardcoded wolfram alpha engine) but it still does not fundamentally comprehend why 1+1=2 - like my 5 year old can.
Until it can generate its own internal neural networks to for example learn to logically reason about calculations we are still far from AGI. Also those calling for more data are misguided - less data, more sophisticated architectures than transformers are the only way to avoid the stochastic parrot trap.
Evolution is just gene selection through natural selection. To create an eye is not possible
Well neural networks have unpredicted emergent properties. I don't see how anyone can rule out or know future behaviour

I don't think I'll be buying an EV for at least another 10-15 years. I usually buy used and considering the best is yet to come with EVs and it will likely be in someone's hands for a few years before it's thrown on a lot for something I'd be willing to pay I'm just not seeing one for me in the near future. I'm also not looking forward to a future where buying a used car entails having to sign up for a monthly butt heater subscription.
Problem is it's not just EVs that are adding the subscription and everything software cars. All cars are going in that direction
That's just the problem. It's very popular with people who want to bypass the law. Occasionally that's crucial and laudable. Usually it's drugs and illegal pornography. Which makes its use for anything legal dubious.
If it ever could have broken that stigma, the swarm of speculators and scammers made that impossible.
Is the law always correct? Specifically in totalitarian countries? The internet is also a tool for braking the law with unrestricted information. Bitcoin is unrestrained money. All the bitcoin copycats controlled by individuals are scams tho
I am a full time language student, and I use GPT to have "conversations" in the language. I can give it a subject (e.g., going through airport customs) and practice my conversation skills.
What's also fun is I can feed it a list of vocab that I want it to use, and it'll find ways to put the words in the conversation. I also ask it to go back, look at my responses, and correct for grammar etc.
It's shocking how adept it is.
What also lurks in the back of my mind is the possibility that mine is the last generation that will bother learning a foreign language at all. I think the day of the universal translator is approaching.
I want even aware it had good multi language support. I will use it for language practice
I have to actively avoid getting invites from people and feel bad when I refuse.
I’m a native and if I travel to a new city I can make friends in a jiffy.
I’m a 28 yo male and still not choosing to commit to marriage and this argument about finding friends later scares me at times. Is it really true? Does the depth of connection vary?
I also was in Germany about half the year in 22 and for sure it’s not as easy there. Being a part of a group is for sure easier for example in one of the hacker spaces. And I got 1 invite to eat dinner at what I can call a friend’s place.
