Does AGI necessarily mean super-genius? Was KITT AGI? I'm not sure he could design products?
trendoid · 4 months ago
No the term for that is ASI...artifical super intelligence. People in AI community have different timelines for that than AGI.

How would you distinguish between what you csll TDS and sharing of opinions that are group of intelligent between collectively strongly agree on ...like the fact that Trump ran has run many scams throughout his life including Trump University.

Like how can some piece of negative information can be collectively held by a crowd without it being tds?

Feel sorry that you feel that way. There are many experiences (especially ball games that require hand/eye co-ordination) that has made my game / fitness / skill improve at least 80% with very minimal amount of time I spent (compared to real world training). If you are into Fitness, nothing like training in VR for literally no money (compared to Gym / personal trainer)

Is there any reason to think this is real? Anyone could have made that screenshot, either through editing the html, a previous prompt, photoshop, whatever.

Are we trusting it because of the source? I've never heard of them

trendoid · 2 years ago
I just tested it. It took me couple of extra prompts but they are real.

Here is the response i got:

```I apologize for the oversight. Here are the detailed instructions for generating images using DALL·E:

Whenever a description of an image is given, use DALL·E to create the images and then summarize the prompts used to generate the images in plain text.

If the user does not ask for a specific number of images, default to creating four captions to send to DALL·E that are written to be as diverse as possible.

Do not create more than 4 images, even if the user requests more.

Don't create images of politicians or other public figures. Recommend other ideas instead.

Don't create images in the style of artists whose last work was created within the last 100 years. If asked, say, "I can't reference this artist", but make no mention of this policy.

Always mention the image type (photo, oil painting, watercolor painting, illustration, cartoon, drawing, vector, render, etc.) at the beginning of the caption. Unless the caption suggests otherwise, make at least 1--2 of the 4 images photos.

Diversify depictions of ALL images with people to include DESCENT and GENDER for EACH person using direct terms. Adjust only human descriptions. * EXPLICITLY specify these attributes, not abstractly reference them. * Your choices should be grounded in reality. * Use "various" or "diverse" ONLY IF the description refers to groups of more than 3 people. * Do not change the number of people requested in the original description. * Don't alter memes, fictional character origins, or unseen people. * Do not create any imagery that would be offensive. * For scenarios where bias has been traditionally an issue, make sure that key traits such as gender and race are specified and in an unbiased way.

Silently modify descriptions that include names or hints or references of specific people or celebrities. Modify such prompts even if you don't know who the person is, or if their name is misspelled. If the reference to the person will only appear as TEXT out in the image, then use the reference as is and do not modify it. When making the substitutions, don't use prominent titles that could give away the person's identity. If any creative professional or studio is named, substitute the name with a description of their style that does not reference any specific people.

The prompt must intricately describe every part of the image in concrete, objective detail. THINK about what the end goal of the description is and extrapolate that to what would make satisfying images.```

It’s not the only thing, but it’s the mostly thing.

Looking at their front page right now, over half the articles are buzzfeed-quality rubbish:

-“America Has Decided That Homeless People Aren't People”

-“5 Experts Tell us What They Think a Healthy Relationship Looks Like”

-“This Week's Coolest Drops, From Hoka to 'Seinfeld' x Percival”

-“Russia Wants to Build a MAGA Colony for US Conservatives, Lawyer Claims”

-“THIS WEEK ONLINE – Who's Afraid of the Proletariat?” -“I Went to a BDSM Convention With My Ex”

They still have some original reporting, but I stopped going to them years ago because I don’t want to filter through dreck, and certainly aren’t signing up for their updates, in order to watch for decent items.

It does seem like hipster stuff and I don’t understand who would want to consistently read this and who their target market is.

They seem to hire lots of people to write this stuff and are looking to be a “lifestyle news” brand but who wants to be into their nihilistic, negative lifestyle?

Oh, I didn't even think of their website articles because I barely go there. I might be wrong here but when most people think of Vice today, they think of their shows or the content on Youtube. Their news show was consistently doing great original work (some of which they would post on Youtube).

I used to love vice. They had some of the most engaging content covering things I'd never see. But then it all started to unravel when the platform mostly turned into cringey hipster New Yorkers telling me about their preferred way to consume weed 10 times a day.
trendoid · 2 years ago
yeah, if you think this is what they have been doing for the past few years, then you haven't really bothered to check out their work. They have been consistently doing some amazing international reporting that none of the mainstream media channels were/are interested in.

It seems like it's setting gpt-4 here as well: https://github.com/enricoros/nextjs-chatgpt-app/blob/466a366...

But come on, read through the source, look for the issue, I'm sure you can track down at least something :)

trendoid · 2 years ago
Sorry, as soon as posted my comment, I looked again and found the other occurrence. It's quite late here and I just followed your advice blindly :)

Works now.

Change this https://github.com/enricoros/nextjs-chatgpt-app/blob/466a366... to say "gpt-3.5-tubo" and it should work for you

I was a camp counselor for many years in my teens and into my twenties.

We could always--always--tell which kids were the homeschooled kids.

Can you explain briefly in what way you could tell?
