blazespin··on NodePad: LLM-aided graph based note-taking and brainstorming tool
We actually submitted a patent on this exact idea (using hierarchical list centric design for ideation with LLMs)

Maybe not as non obvious as we thought! :)

GPT4 struggles with things for sure, but this isn't one of them. You're just projecting what you think should be the right answer. If it worries you that much, try adding "Provide alternative responses to this question. Each response should try to answer using a different approach to solving the problem." to your prompts.

If you want an example of something GPT4 has a hard time with, try this:

there is no 'e' in the color red, right? Yes, that is correct. The word "red" does not contain the letter 'e'.

Interestingly, I find ChatGPT very reticent about giving out PII of anyone not notable. This might not be a huge issue

You'll want to fact check this, but I find GPT4 is OK at this kinda stuff.

If you've been asked to remove data in accordance to a gdpr request, is it best effort or do you have to strictly comply with the request? ChatGPT I am not a lawyer, but I can offer some general information about GDPR and data removal requests. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a legal framework that sets guidelines for the collection, processing, and storage of personal data of individuals within the European Union (EU). Under GDPR, individuals have the "right to be forgotten," also known as the "right to erasure." This means that they can request the deletion of their personal data under specific circumstances.

When a data controller (the organization that determines the purposes and means of processing personal data) receives a valid GDPR request to remove personal data, they are generally required to strictly comply with the request. However, there are some exceptions, and the extent of the obligation may depend on the specific circumstances surrounding the request.

The GDPR requires data controllers to respond to data removal requests without undue delay, and in any event within one month of receipt of the request. This period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests.

It's important to remember that GDPR compliance is not solely about "best effort." Organizations are expected to take reasonable and appropriate measures to ensure compliance with the regulation. This includes having processes in place to handle requests and promptly remove personal data where required. Failure to comply with GDPR can result in significant fines and penalties.

However, it's also essential to consider that there are circumstances under which a data controller may not be required to comply with a data removal request. These exceptions can include situations where the processing of personal data is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, compliance with a legal obligation, or for reasons of public interest.

In any case, it's crucial to consult with legal counsel or a data protection officer to better understand your organization's specific obligations under GDPR and ensure proper compliance.

blazespin··on OpenAI Personal Data Removal Request Form
Yeah, it's like a month I believe.
blazespin··on OpenAI Personal Data Removal Request Form
I think you'd have to be a GDPR lawyer to understand the implications of that. It can get a little complicated.
blazespin··on OpenAI Personal Data Removal Request Form
Most likely a post filter. Unfortunately for OpenAI and anyone creating something similar, it's probably hackable.

Not sure how best efforts work with GDPR.

blazespin··on MSFT is forcing Outlook and Teams to open links in Edge and IT admins are angry
Yeah, unless you're a shop running outlook and teams, not sure you really have a say here. Maybe this is what customers want.

Also, not entirely clear that verge isn't just knee jerk reporting. Any sys admins that have actual first hand experience with this and can confirm?

blazespin··on MSFT is forcing Outlook and Teams to open links in Edge and IT admins are angry
Verge seems to be only one covering this. Any sysadmins here with 1st hand experience with the change?
blazespin··on There is no A.I.
It's absolutely ludicrous nonsense. It's like saying someone invented the idea of 'wondering what would happen if the sun blew up'.

VR is a trivial idea that pretty much everyone has thought about at some point. It's implementation is hard to do, and if I had to point to anyone there, it'd be Carmack who's probably done the most.

blazespin··on There is no A.I.
pretty sure first person that had a dream figured out VR.
blazespin··on There is no A.I.
"who first conceived the idea of virtual reality"
blazespin··on There is no A.I.
Just another poor person in a stage of grief. LLMs are effective at both memorization and reasoning. They are inevitable in the same way trains were inevitable. Let's just figure out how best to use these and move forward as we always have.

I think there are FTC laws around this maybe.
blazespin··on Anthropic’s $5B, 4-year plan to take on OpenAI
The fact is nobody can risk not owning a piece of the foundational models. There is waaaay too much upside risk that they will tots dominate the market.

I mean, maybe they won't like you say, but what if they do? Then you're probably screwed. Better to gamble a few billion, imho.

blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
Sure, if you understand the underlying point of that quote - if you have to say it, you're probably thinking about the person.
blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
Well, I stopped using Google personally, except for online docs.
blazespin··on Show HN: YakGPT – A locally running, hands-free ChatGPT UI
Not to mention the ludicrously gaping security issue that this is. My guess is they want to push people to the plugins tho.
blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
It's not quite there yet, but it certainly could be.
blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
I dunno, the stock price hasn't really tanked, so it didn't really backfire that much and it allowed them to get a bit of feedback as they try to figure out how to maintain revenue.

What if they put out this insanely great model and people just stopped using search? That would be a backfire most likely.

blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
Google is in a weird spot. I suspect they are capable of doing so much more, but there is a serious risk to cannibalizing their 99% revenue model (search), which they probably don't yet know if they can monetize in the same way.

Unfortunately for them, OpenAI has forced the question down their throat, which I think is exactly what they intended or at least hoped for.

blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
They are a weird company, and their core motivations aren't money, though obviously they have to make money if they want to keep doing what they want to do.

Yes, the release was wild and disruptive, but when your core motivation isn't greed, you can do some seriously wild and disruptive things.

blazespin··on What it feels like to work in AI right now
Folks need to start getting over themselves. It's pretty trivial to get GPT4 to explain how transformers work, where the bottlenecks are in both performance and learning, and start modifying pytorch.

It's really not that complicated. Gatekeeping is so over.

blazespin··on I cannot wait for this deluge of AI products to be over
Man, stop educating these people. The servers are overloaded enough as is. :p
blazespin··on I cannot wait for this deluge of AI products to be over
Yeah, everyone is at a different stage of grief right now with respect to coming to terms with fact that vaunted human consciousness is not at the center of the universe like they thought it was.
blazespin··on Guidance to make federally funded research freely available without delay
Sadly this was not done by legislation. But maybe that's the point, I dunno
blazespin··on I Spent Hundreds of Hours Working in VR
I am a big naysayer, but compare the cost of a fully separated home office to this. To a lot of folks it makes sense
blazespin··on I Spent Hundreds of Hours Working in VR
Yeah but a broken clock could do the same thing
blazespin··on I Spent Hundreds of Hours Working in VR
Well, depends where you live. But my house is about 250k per non commons area room. If I had another child, there would go my office most likely
blazespin··on I Spent Hundreds of Hours Working in VR
Yeah in the end, this may be the only killer app for VR. Replacing multiple monitors.

Think about all the space multiple monitor desk environments takes up in the real, and how little space a VR replacement takes up via the virtual.

The other cool thing is the separation between home and work. Once the headset is off, work is done. That separation is actually very important, and ironically it's actually the worst thing about playing in VR while being the best thing about working in VR.

Financially, we're possibly talking up to a $100K if you think about how much a fully separated and furnished home office can cost. That's a real value prop.
