Nope! Nothing matters anymore! Certainly not the Bay Area.

> towards government

it felt like more of an attack against academia and the forward march of scientific "progress" than specifically towards government. The character Oppenheimer has his own issues specifically with government, but it's moreso that by that point, he has decided not to blindly agree with the status quo and so has become a threat. Oppenheimer is portrayed as part of the problem after around the 3/4 mark though. "I feel I have blood on my hands"

Oh wow so the game Connections is apparently a robust indicator of LLM capabilities?

Give me a break. The thesis here may be correct but Gary Marcus’ hasn’t effectively argued that it is. Is there even a mention of the scaling law’s paper?

Why would you try to expose that information?

Well since those two things are at odds and you haven’t explained your stance more, your comment effectively serves as flamebait.

I think that’s only true when using ChatGPT via the web/app, not when used via API as they likely are. Happy to be corrected however.

Yeah they’re fond of flagging in my experience. It’s kind of a cult for the emotionally unintelligent and/or wealthy programmer. Lots of lonely people in need of a belief system and finding one in statistics, longtermism, techno-optimism, techno-doomerism, and Spock/Sherlocke style “Bayesian” reasoning. Much of the research done is very overconfident (and reductive, as you mention). They make very bold assumptions, casually throw out contradictory results as outliers, make massive leaps to hypothesis which sound more like science fiction than science.

They personally really creep me out. The personality types it attracts seem really impressionable and lacking in a healthy disrespect for authority. Also seem to be a lot of Wolfram types who simply ignore criticism rather than admitting a mistake. Fond of the sound of their own voice.

You aren't alone.

What do you mean?

_Thought_ they got high? I have ADHD and you still one hundred percent get a high from it. Maybe if you’ve been on it for years it will be hard to notice or you’ll have grown accustomed to it. But c’mon.

"_U.S._ imposes first-ever _national_ drinking water limits"

emphasis mine.

Ah fair enough. The OP here mentioned having highly similar content on each of the many domains.

Any data scraped would be instantly deduplicated after the fact by whatever semantic dedupe engine they've cooked up.

Geez, what an ass hole.

How much are you using it? I have been accessing gpt-4-turbo via API in a small discord with a few friends using it as well. Have never gone above 5$/month in usage.

So does the verge just do ads for Google now?

> ability to time travel for training data generation

What now?

> Extracting and interpreting brain signals is, while not simple, well-known and well-practiced. Their current product does not do this, and they've shown zero development to this end.

I was following you until this. Can you clarify? Isn’t their most recent work precisely an example of inferring and applying a person’s intent by deciphering their brain signals?

First I’m hearing of it!

This usage of the word "agent" when they simply mean "another LLM" is sort of nonstandard, no? To me an agent implies some degree of RL.

When starting out in deep learning, I just used a static learning rate with the Adam optimizer (no LR scheduler). Generally worked fine.

Didn't play Super Mario Odyssey I take it?

Why did this get downvoted so much? Seems accurate enough.

Sounds distinctly like a Bay Area/populated city thing.

For me it’s the unspoken assumption that “step 0” (attain wealth in the first place) is left as an exercise to the reader. A given. It’s all so self aggrandizing and tone deaf.

Not familiar with that meme/stereotype…

Contrary to the sibling comments, executives at publicly traded companies have very little reason to speak honestly about this plenty of reasons to bolster the position of AI in their company. The narrative pushes the value of their shares and earns them a raise for fairly little effort.

Don't know why you would ask these people instead of, say, researchers.

Speaking personally and a bit more cynically, these execs likely have _no_ clue what they are talking about and care about little more than money and status.

> About non-blocking: I am asking for their tools API to not block the user from continuing the conversation while my tool works. You seem to be thinking about something else.

To be fair, that was very ambiguous (talking about API’s and non-blocking IO) and their initial assumption was the same as mine (and quite reasonable).

Another one of those “what good reason was there for flagging this” moments.
