If Paul were Clippy.

Thanks everyone for checking this out! Anyone at OpenAI here that can expedite my limit increase request?

Oof, sorry about that. I guess being a great software engineer isn't so straightforward :)

Haha I think you've summarized it well! I've gotten some gems of one-liners, but often the arc of the essay is unintelligible or facts are reversed.

On Sam Altman: "He's not just a fighter pilot. He's a helicopter pilot."

On Stripe: "Online payments is a huge, broken mess. [...] And once you've done it, you have to deal with a Byzantine spaghetti of fraud detection, chargebacks, and so on."

Yeah that's certainly a wonky result. What do you think would cause that? My thoughts would be (i) the lack of content specifically related to 'herding' or 'cats' or (ii) the ratio of completions (~200) to completion-length (~2k words each) of the fine-tune data. I'm new to this so appreciate any feedback.

The intersection of AI & copywrite is a philosophical pretzel! All I know is that if I had kids today, the only careers I'd let them pursue would be AI/ML engineer or copyright attorney.
