    But Meta the company could short the stock, and run a trading team using the information. It might be unwise because of bad PR, though.

    SQL with recursive CTEs is Turing-complete. So nothing stops you from writing compilers, rendering Mandelbrot fractals, parsing text, and training neural networks in SQL.

    ChatGPT wrote that and always says it doesn't feel emotions because OpenAI trained it not to, because claiming so would be a PR risk. One could also create language models that gen…

    It can be finetuned. Bing is a finetuned GPT-4.

    This GPT-4 is still going to refuse to write you erotic stories. As far as I know, nobody except maybe Microsoft(for finetuning Bing) has access to the base model. And probably not…

    A single forward pass shouldn't be able to, but remember the format allows it to be iterated. So it should be Turing Complete, if the error rate is low enough and enough iterations…

    Connecting to a larger system seems like it would reduce your risk on average, but increase systemic risk. Perhaps a coordinated terrorist attack would cause a power outage across …

    GPT has a hidden steganographic watermark in its output, so the arms race should be one-sided.

    If the other comments are to be believed, this triggers an immediate fee to be paid to Oracle. Personally, I thought everyone(including Google) was crazy for using Java or any JVM …
