Any controversial belief that’s just widespread enough to create an exclusive in-group will get its cult.

Decentralized social media?

Yes, but the ChatGPT service that they’re using hasn’t rolled out this capability yet, beyond plugin support for those who have made it through the alpha waitlist.

Sentience doesn’t automatically equate to desire or emotion. The bots we build won’t want or need money for themselves, and they won’t care.

It’s not like there will be just one.

AI Training is essentially a process of building, testing, and deleting the 99% worst performing bots to achieve alignment, usually via a set of objective functions. Billions and billions of bots rapidly get created and destroyed during this process. It doesn’t stop until the desired behavior is achieved.

To get something like ChatGPT with 175 billion parameters I’d imagine there were trillions of epochs and orders of magnitude more iterations. That’s why these models cost so much to train.

So yeah, algorithm developers ask questions, and if it answers wrong - poof.

Source?

Microsoft has equity in OpenAI but it's not the sole owner, it's largely split between the founders. Information on how the equity is allocated between these players is unavailable to the public AFAICT.

Good to know. We have data scientists here that could implement something like this but they’re working on stuff that’s way too specific to train a model on good marketing practices just for my little department. All in all though, chatGPT has been really great as-is. I feel like I have a new work buddy, and I’m ravenously consuming every GPT-4 rumor I can find.

A few things off the top of my head:

• Writing criteria and methodologies for marketing studies.
• Converting table data into prose.
• Copywriting (duh)
• Creative brainstorming
• Project planning and basic guidance
• A file-naming-standards widget I’m building in Excel, and potentially in PowerApps.
• Building a style guide
• Writing go-to-market plans
• javascript expressions for Adobe After Effects
• Presentation planning

I’m actually after the chat I guess; I’m in marketing.

They're going to have venture capital coming out of their ears now. This was a home run for them and OP's take is wack.

On the flipside I'd pay $200 a month, but it's very useful in my line of work. It's saved me days.

AI will disrupt people who sit in front of a computer 8 hours a day for sure. I’m already using it to help me write ad copy and create artwork for marketing materials. I’m guessing machine repairmen will have job security longer than the rest of us.

Someone still has to figure out how to manufacture the stuff. For now at least.

This made me think of comments I saw on a Boston Dynamics video where people were insisting the robots were CG.

Is AGI required to call it a singularity? Not just runaway self-improvement?
