Or the addiction just makes you think that this is good for you when actually you'd feel better without it?

I find it interesting that when you read this comment, the whole book is already on your computer. And it gets rendered when your press the link.

Edit: actually not true since you use a url shortener

could be automated though?

not necessarily worried, but like put on some pants before entering the room

No worries brother

Can one instruct an LLM to pick the parts of the context that will be relevant going forward? And then discard the existing context, replacing it with the new 'summary'?

not necessarily, but it's not less creative and inventive than what I believe most programmers are doing most of the time. there are relatively few people who invent new patterns (and they actually might be overrepresented on this website). the rest learns and applies those patterns.

no programmer in my company invents things often

some of the activities that we're involved in are not limited in complexity, for example driving a car. you can have a huge amount of experience in driving a car but will still face new situations.

the things that most knowledge workers are working on are limited problems and it is just a matter of time until the machine will reach that level, then our employment will end.

edit: also that doesn't have to be AGI. it just needs to be good enough for the problem.

not fully related to what the parent is saying, but I need to get this off my chest:

isn't this development obviously going to result in the deprecation of the value of the human intellect to near-zero? which is the thing that virtually all people on this platform base their livelihood on?

there's such a deafening silence around this topic on the internet where there should be - i don't know what but not this silence. we don't know what to do right? and we're avoiding this topic.

with this version they broke the assumed wall of llms's developed that was the last copium that we could believe in. the wall is broken and now it's just a matter of time until your capacity to think will be completely unneeded. the machine will do it more accurately and more quickly by orders of magnitude.

am I a doomer? I was in the home country of my parents recently, that is completely dysfunctional and war is on the verge of breaking out. what I learned there is that humans stay ignorant of great dangers until the very moment in which it affects them. this must've been the case with all the great wars that we've had. the water is rising but until I start to suffocate I don't agree to see it. i make up copes, or I think some are going to drown but I'm safe, or I distract myself.

what are all the software engineers here thinking? what's your cope for this? or are we all freezing in shock right now? this o1 is solving problems that i know many of my colleagues can never solve. what are we hoping for I think? I don't have a future because my future was the image that I had of it. and no image of the future that would be nice to keep around seems plausible at this point.

No he is right, he is saying taken to the extreme. The point is the more and more specific you have to prompt, the more you are actually contributing to the result yourself and the less the model is

Sounded like sarcasm to me.

I think he means that thoughts have an actual effect on the unfolding of the physical world.

Maybe you got Display an error message upon entering an illegal emoji

Can someone explain what the technical challenges are? On first glance this seems like something one could implement on a weekend, I am sure that's not the case.

The type where you identify with a so-called nation and then the idea that a member of a different nation is very different from what you are becomes so real to to you the point where you support escalation of a conflict with them that potentially ends in the extermination of mankind.

Can you explain what you do that for?

on the other hand, gpt-3 was trained on a data set that contains all of the internet already. A big Limitation seems to be that it can only work with problems that it has already seen

The jobs you mention are even more repetitive. Just like most jobs. I think this is a the grass is greener mind of thing

That's right, and the only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination x)

So you hate your food?

Maybe it’s based on the assumption that more complex organisms are more sensitive and thus the suffering that is experienced is bigger.

I don't have data but first hand experience and for me it is truer to say: it enhances your level of consciousness and it allows you to experience reality from beyond your mental-emotional conditioning. Which are two things that may sound very cryptic to many people reading this, as it cannot really be described in words. It is a explaining an orgasms to a person who has never had it kind of thing.

A complete removal from cocaine from my life is not really an option since it gives me more energy to be productive.

No but how to stop thinking

First half I agree, second half builds on a sense of suspicion and mistrust over the other and on a sense of having “them” figured out, which is a nice pleasure to indulge in, but I don’t buy it at all

I am aware of the fact that I am (/the brain is) thinking and it is the source of all problems

Is there a consensus of how to deal with the covid situation between the people of this sub? If yes, what would that be?

At least your buddy admits that they were misinformed. Some of my friends just move on as if nothing happened after I point out their distortions. They just repeat the same thing that they’ve just agreed in being false. Then I give up usually. People seem so mechanical sometimes
