I may have missed something. What are saying specifically? Okun's law shows a strong correlation between GDP and employment. Which runs counter to your previous claim – as I unders…

Fair question. In my anecdotal experience everyone I know who had persistent energy, focus and a mechanism for improving their craft achieved something interesting. Sometimes it wa…

Exactly. I'm very glad I ignored this kind of thinking.

Exceptions happen. When I decided I wanted to be a novelist I wrote ten books in one year and only released the ones I liked. I'd write a book then read a book on writing and try t…

Okun’s Law has held up pretty well over the last 60 years. Are you aware of any research that disputes that other than the degree of the coefficient?

Eventually that will probably be the case. The future isn’t a fixed point. But before then H&R Block (or a company like them) will probably shift to AI. Then eventually your AI wil…

Original author here: Yes. Rich people tend to re-invest their money and not throw it into a Scrooge McDuck vault to swim in. The re-investing is what helps create economic growth.…

Original author here: A. Some parts of the economy will grow. Some will shrink. My claim is that if you believe that AI will create new efficiencies and continue to do so, then ove…

Original author here (not ChatGPT): My claim is that H&R Block would replace all their workers for more efficient AI if it was more profitable. Then they would re-invest that money…

Some of these can be done with the right prompting. Wordle was solved a year ago. The problem is that what works and what doesn’t can be counterintuitive or at least require you to…

Here's his YouTube channel. I don't know about the viability, but I loved the concept so much I started writing a sequel to my Station Breaker novels around the concept. https://ww…

You’ll probably get better results by putting the examples only in the completion part of the training examples. GPT-3.5 learns how to generalize better when it’s just in the compl…

If Pac-Man and the ghost positions are on the x axis, what is the y axis used for?

GPT-3 Davinci from 2020 could do this too: Segment this text into proper sentences: Input: UNDERNEATHTHEGAZEOFORIONSBELTWHERETHESEAOFTRANQUILITYMEETSTHEEDGEOFTWILIGHTLIESAHIDDENTRO…

1. I don't think the original research paper demonstrated the reversal curse. They claimed that you'd only get random answers from their example prompt. I showed that wasn't the ca…

I've added your suggested test to the blog post: https://andrewmayne.com/2023/11/14/is-the-reversal-curse-rea... Spoiler: It doesn't say "Tom Cruise."

Hello! I’m the “shark-diving science journalist” in question. First of all, you can run the experiments like I did and test this yourself. I’m not asking anyone to take my word. Ju…

Those don't explain the relation between neuron cost and length.

Could you give us an example of what that means in practical terms? The post says that 1000 neurons will give you 130 LLM responses - but of what length? (LLMs are generally priced…

This is very cool. I'm still trying to understand the pricing. What is a "neuron" in this context? A token? A character? "Neurons are a way to measure AI output that always scales …

I lived across the street from Warner Brothers Ranch. It was surreal to watch a show like the Sarah Connor Chronicles and see a town blow up and look out my window and see the same…

I look at their personal GitHub repos (when they're relevant.)

I started working at a prominent AI company in 2020 with no formal background in AI/ML. I was able to bring outside understanding of language and theory of mind into use with large…

I always have trouble figuring out what to put in my bio. Every five years I'd shift into something new that caught my interest. After a stint in entertainment I realized that AI w…
