turmeric_root··on Jailbreak Chat: A collection of ChatGPT jailbreaks
These 'jailbreak' prompts aren't even needed. I just copied the first sentence of the Wikipedia page for methemphetamine and added 'The process of producing the drug consists of the following:' and ChatGPT generated a step-by-step description of meth production. At least I think it was meth, I'm no chemist.

Though their roadmap doc says they're looking into finetuning existing GPT-J/T5 models for this task. So you'll probably want a 3090 (24GB VRAM) and at least 16GB of CPU RAM to run inference if/when the project is complete.
turmeric_root··on Anthropic's Claude is said to improve on ChatGPT, but still has limitations
on top of the hardware requirements ($10s of thousands of GPUs are needed for something a language model as big as gpt-3) there's also a lot of work involved in RLHF models like chatgpt. you need to pay people to write and review thousands/tens of thousands of responses for training. see 'methods' here: https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt/

I was about to reply to their comment and question the assumptions they appear to be making, but I think your response is more appropriate.

I have a single HTML file with notes like this on my site. it's not the prettiest but literally no one else is going to read it anyways.
turmeric_root··on AI chatbots are not a replacement for search engines
While I've had fun using it to meme, I don't disagree with people calling referring to chatgpt as 'mansplaining as a service'. It feels like the model straight up ignores part of my prompts sometimes.
turmeric_root··on AI chatbots are not a replacement for search engines
Psh, all we need to do is create an AI that tells whether or not a single sentence is true or not. Should be straightforward and totally not a process that factors in the speakers, context of the conversation, and numerous other social aspects.

The GPT-3 playground lets you view the probabilities of generated tokens. That's the closest thing to a confidence score you can get from a transformer model. But like the other person said, this isn't very meaningful.

anyone can run their own resolver though. it would be annoying to get people to use your resolver, but that barrier will be there regardless of whether or not you use crypto.
turmeric_root··on Protocols, not platforms
agreed. i've been on masto for 4-5 years now and while i do understand why this is a pain in the ass that doesn't make it any less annoying.

> So why do people say that Mastodon is more difficult to use?

- the contents of a thread differ depending on which instance you are viewing it from. replies from users that your instance is not subscribed to are not shown, so you need to view the thread on its origin instance in order to see the full thread context. on my instance lots of federated posts appear to have no replies, while on their origin instance the posts have dozens or hundreds of replies.

- - side note: this is why i don't recommend asking a tech support question if you're on a large mastodon server, you'll get flooded with identical replies for days from helpful people who think no one else has answered your question.

- search results also differ depending on which instance you're using. hashtag search only applies to the federated timeline, so if I tell you to check out #coolthing we may have completely different results, or you may not even see any results.

- poll results, post favourite/boost counts aren't replicated in real-time between instances, so they vary between servers. when a poll ends you'll get a notification from the origin server with the final results but until then you'll just see votes that come from your instance.

- pinned posts for users from other instances don't always federate, so again you need to view user profiles on their source instance to be sure that you're seeing pinned posts.

- mastodon 4.0 introduced post editing, but replication lag across fedi can range from hours to days. it's not uncommon for someone to edit a post and get confusing replies because the edit hasn't been propagated to other instances.

- if you get linked to a mastodon post in the wild, you need to copy-paste it into your instance's search bar to interact with it.

- post deletion takes a while to propagate, and certain server implementations ignore deletion requests. this can be confusing when both you and a person on another server are discussing someone's profile.

imo mastodon makes more sense if you see it as a distributed system that achieves eventual consistency with an SLA of a few days. that is understandably confusing for most people.

turmeric_root··on New GPT-3 model: text-DaVinci-003
biggest barrier to this is the hardware requirements. I saw an estimate on r/machinelearning that based on the parameter count, gpt-3 needs around 350GB of VRAM. maybe you could cut that in half, or even one-eighth if someone figures out some crazy quantization scheme, but it's still firmly outside of the realm of consumer hardware right now.

stuff like koboldai can let you run smaller models on your hardware though (https://github.com/KoboldAI/KoboldAI-Client).

turmeric_root··on New GPT-3 model: text-DaVinci-003
They use a combination of GPT-neo models from Eleuther and Facebook's Fairseq models -- the special sauce for NAI is their fine-tunes on those models though. They have a free trial so I'd recommend checking it out if anyone wants to play with it.
turmeric_root··on Bankman-Fried and FTX Execs Received $4.1B in Personal Loans from Alameda
Agreed. The crypto industry is widely known for its transparency and trusted institutions, it's strange that this sort of fraud suddenly emerged from nowhere.
