    Painting, too. Not sure how common or uncommon but my landlord explicitly allows painting, as long as it's not a dark color

    ChatGPT lets you refuse to allow your content to be used for training (under Preferences -> Data controls), but Prism does not.

    The original title is so much more informative. It might be so informative that many people didn't feel a need to read the article.

    Thanks for your engagement but it would help if you read my comment the first two times. You've personally demonstrated that humans don't have to be reasonable and cooperative, but…

    My example is asking for way less than what you're asking for. Here is something I do not see with reasonable humans who are cooperative: Me: "hey friend with whom I have plans to …

    I think this depends on how you measure task. One common kind of interaction I have with chatgpt (pro): 1. I ask for something 2. Chatgpt suggests something that doesn't actually f…

    +1, I am also big user of PGMs, and also a big user of transformers, and I don't know what the parent comment talking about, beyond that for e.g. LLMs, sampling the next token can …

    I was wondering about this, because the link shows a bunch of birds in the "death zone".

    What do you do for managing dependency / tolerance?

    I think the author's line between pink and purple is also not very clear. For example, teen spirit appears in both.

    This is so cute!! I hope you two are having a lovely life together.

    It seems like all of the links to more of their work (e.g. "research on deterministic vs. probabilistic systems") are currently broken.

    I've gotten an AI generated email back when I asked for support, which did seem to understand my request at a surface level, but was not actually helpful. That's the extent of supp…

    This follows directly from the fact that exp(x+y)=exp(x)exp(y).

    Agree -- especially if this was a post about something a real person thought of, but edited with AI (the author is in France, so it seems reasonable to use AI for editing; also it'…

    In section "Works in every major city!", the author mentions they are from France. Given that, it's not surprising that they used an AI to help with translation.

    Is this to be interpreted as most men have two parents, and in adulthood one of them dies? Or, men have a parent they are close with plus a spouse, and then the parent dies?

    I think basic definitions for LLMs are solidly within the bounds of what we would expect e.g. chatgpt to be competent at. The task (defining terms) is simple and the specific conte…

    You can ask an LLM exactly this question and it will tell you. (The answer is billions of parameters)

    There's a lazy way to submit to arxiv, which is to submit just the PDF, even if you did it in latex. Sometimes it can be annoying to organize the tex files to submit to arxiv. It's…

    It looks like it's written in latex to me. Standard formatting varies across departments, and the author is in the business school at CMU. In some fields, single author papers are …

    The machine has been getting easier to talk to over time. The machine also doesn't complain or get tired or sick.

    I would be a little surprised if he gets discouraged and I would also really hope he doesn't. The author is a statistics professor at CMU, and everything of his that I've read, inc…
