If you haven't already I urge you to try getting ChatGPT4 to do most of your programming for you. Just ask it interview style coding questions and refine the answer with more interview like follow on questions.

And for making changes to existing code, you might need to check with your company's policies on this, but if you're ok to paste code into ChatGPT you can also just ask how to change it to do Y instead of X.

Copilot is.... ok? StarCoder is pretty bad IMHO. ChatGPT4 is really empowering.

It can indeed sometimes get stuck in a rut.. particularly with regex! I find that in such cases, if I can't take over and fix the issue then it sometimes helps to start a new chat (not sure if there is a clear context command) and approach it from a different angle.

This is absolutely the case. You can now code in any language using ChatGPT 4. Just say what you want from it like you were interviewing a developer. Look for potential bugs in the output and ask it about them. Look for memory leaks and ask. Then when you can't see anything else wrong with it ask it whether there are any bugs or edge cases that might cause problems.

Anyone with a bit of experience to know the right questions to ask can now code in any language or platform.

"helpfulness" might not be the word I'd use but that's a whole other thing ;)

If there is anyone at Niantic who is familiar with the inner workings of the gaming and AR experiences and how to go about that or make a better version I'd love to talk! I'm building the real world version of Pokemon go for places at summer.ai.

"The third reason is that evolutionary pressure will likely ingrain AIs with behaviors that promote self-preservation."

This sounds a lot like how religions that focussed on self promoting took over. Now I can't recall if it was The Selfish Gene or Sapiens that I read that take.

Thank you. I will check out that. I had started down the YC Startup School and went with Clerky etc but will pick that up again. Such a shame how Product Hunt has turned out.

Sure you could and I bet there are a number of VC backed startups that do only this.

But there's usually a lot of reasons why these architectures could be a useful reference. In my project, I host my own trained LLM and one of the cost efficiencies comes from being able to cache at every step along the way. Then there is a large private media hosting consideration.

There is room for all sorts of setups and I kind of liked how the article mapped out some of the common paths.

Counter point... or more of a theory.. everyone who wants to have a child wants to be as good as, or a better parent than their own, and want to provide for their children's childhood as good as, or better than their own. I don't have references to back this up but it seems to be the case with most parents or aspiring parents I talk to.

In the western world we compare ourselves to our parents who bought their 1st houses when they were in their twenties.. something we are less likely to achieve even with the same status job until much later on.

Interesting idea. I went and got chatGPT4 to help me do some back of napkin math and it looks like hydrogen won't be able to compete with coal which is probably between $50-$100 per MWh for Poland. Even assuming the electricity (the biggest cost factor in electrolysis) is free through some carbon credit initiative, the cost of producing 1 MWh of fuel cells is still over $100 and the cost of converting that back to electricity is $17. The cost of shipping is hard to estimate but could potentially be quite small - $1 per MWh.

Now if we could somehow raise the price of coal to account for its externalities.. by stipulating minimum taxes on coal and imposing tariffs on any countries that don't implement those... then we might have a chance.

But I think wind energy (producing or importing) is probably Poland's best bet for getting off of coal.

“but from my experience with talking to homeless people on the street“ - you are not going to get a good sense of someone’s mental state by taking to them once. Crazy people can present themselves as completely normal for quite long periods of time. It’s one of the many blockers for family members trying to get them help.

MidJourney's v5 model did a great job producing our logo https://summer.ai/static/nearby/android-chrome-192x192.png

Admittedly it was one of several hundred I had it spit out for me. But the design was completely original and caught me by surprise.

I tried making modifications but everyone kept telling me they prefer the original exactly as MidJourney made it!

This looks like a really smart way to gather difficult training data that helps improve the model. Luis von Ahn would be proud!

Not the op but the quotes from John Maynard etc made me think… if I listen to your original thesis and you convince me (maybe you have some authority) and I go on believing you, is it not harmful to me if you realize your error and don’t inform me? Boss: “why did you do X?” Me: “But sir you told me doing X was good!” Or to put it differently, if you spread the wrong word then don’t equally spread the correction then the sum of your influence is negative.

Maybe I'm overly optimistic but I see these tools as empowering us all to be more productive and become directors who specify requirements rather than spend time doing the work. ChatGPT's ability to write documents for certain things that would take a while to research myself is an obvious example.

For Software Engineering I look forward to stopping writing the majority of my code and instead managing this tool and helping guide it to create apps and websites faster than I can and outside the areas of my expertise.

Just trying to briefly qualify my viewpoint with my experience of apple. But your right, anyones opinion here as a consumer is equally valid.

Having worked at Apple I feel like this is a mortal risk they are taking. The Apple Watch could be the next big thing that replaces the smartphone, except they require an iPhone to use it. So instead of taking a short term hit and moving with the times they greedily hold on to their money maker and risk a competitor bringing out a standalone version and tanking the entire thing. Likewise the Apple TV is a great product and could dominate its category if it didn't require an iPhone.

For question 1, it's pretty much a perfect use case for ChatGPT to provide you with the consensus of the (pre-2021) internet.

For instance with the prompt "why should I use sans-serif over times new roman" you get "Sans-serif fonts, such as Arial or Verdana, are considered more legible on screens, while serif fonts, such as Times New Roman, are considered more legible in print. Sans-serif fonts are generally considered to be easier to read on a screen because the lack of serifs (the small lines at the ends of characters) makes the letters more distinct, especially at small font sizes. Additionally, sans-serif fonts are often used on websites and in digital media because they appear more modern and clean."

Maybe the author should include a summary of the font at the top?

I'm very curious about the legal implications of all of this. With NeevaAI they appear to be citing content such as abcnews or businessinsider that is unlikely to have licensing that allows them to use it this way - but please correct me if I'm wrong. openAI and chatGPT refuses to provide sources even when asked saying its "sourced from general knowledge".. which might obfuscate it until someone can find clear terminology from their content being reused.

And if we hackers build on top of tools such as openai how do we cover ourselves from any potential license abuse? Is it enough to have a YouTube style take down policy?

David Sacks would follow also. Seeing him constantly defend Musk on that All In podcast is painful. "he will never do that" one week turns into "ok he did that but...". It's like a weekly no true scotsman act watching him try and reinvent an argument that fits the very short lived situation into some grand humanity saving strategy. And you have to seriously question his motivation.

If you had just bothered to click on my username you would realize my account is older than both yours and the one you are replying to.

Interesting. Maybe a mini arms race would develop there. But regardless its still raised the effort required (which right now is pretty trivial) of writing bots.

This would have to go hand in hand with better user authentication and biometric login but I didn't mention that as there's no novelty here. But for example try writing a bot that creates Facebook or Apple accounts and you will quickly find its not trivial.

Right now, twitter, reddit etc actively encourage bots that are deemed useful in someway such as auto moderation bots and gimmicks like the gif reverse bot.

My argument is essentially for a service which decides the good bots are not worth the bad and dedicates some resources to shutting them off.

(FYI I haven't just learned about the subject.. I used to work at Reddit and have been involved in AI projects for a decade.)

In trying to understand how I triggered such a comment I read a few of your posts. I'm sorry for what you are dealing with and I'm all too familiar with it as it runs in my family. Just please do consider that there are people behind these comments... at least for now there are... 90% of the time.

You don’t look shadow banned to me..

Maybe we need a forum where the only way to add comments or posts is to write them out in the editor (no copy paste) with captcha style checks on the writing speed and variation. Sure, one could manually copy a generated response but the cost in posting such content has increased significantly and hopefully past the point of making any sense in most cases.

Can the same design be used for a small windmill? Will it show similar efficiency gains?

As they say: "never attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence"

but in this case it is both.

If only the final scene involved a bunch of software engineers watching Joaquin, popping champagne, and cheering how another victim fell for their language model.

No I hadn't. Thanks I'll check it out! Of course the open source nature of SD is really nice as the community[0] keep pumping out usability improvements and features.. like the Pokemon trained model[1] which is an absolute blast for my kid!

I followed your advice and tried with Temperature 0.0 and rather than paste more walls of text I edited what I got. Sorry if that's bad form? I also upped the max tokens to 100 to better compare with the fb can model. Interestingly whilst the davinci 003 model changed output and was still subpar IMHO, the davinci 002 didn't change at all. I wonder if its cached internally.
