    Medical debt is different. The legal system frowns on people running up credit card debt to pay for PS5s or nice vacations with no intention of ever paying it back. That's tantamou…

    LLMs were specifically trained to emulate human interaction patterns. Of course we sound like them at times. It's the things we can do that they can't that are relevant. If I study…

    In my experience a non technical founder should have one of the following: 1) Access to capital, normally through family or a family friend. I've worked at several companies where …

    This really seems like "DALL-E", but for videos. I can make cool/funny videos for my friends, but after a while the novelty wears off. All of the AI generated media has this qualit…

    Debugging is a problem. But the real problem I'm seeing is our expectations as software developers. We're used to being able to fix any problem that we see. If a div is misaligned …

    Alternative theory: ChatGPT was a runaway hit product that sucked up a lot of the organization's resources and energy. Sam and Greg wanted to roll with it and others on the board d…

    Why wouldn't Ilya come out and say this? Why wouldn't any of the other people who witnessed the software behave in an unexpected way say something? I get that this is a "just for f…

    For real. It's like, did you see Oppenheimer? There's a reason they put the military in charge of that.

    This is one of the most insightful comments I've seen on this whole situation.

    The people working there would know if they were getting close to AGI. They wouldn't be so willing to quit, or to jeopardize civilization altering technology, for the sake of one p…

    OpenAI existed for years before ChatGPT. Granted, at much smaller size and with hundreds fewer employees. I imagine that the board wants to go back to that or something like it.

    If this were true they never would have had talks to bring him back. That's the opposite of steadfast commitment to principles. If Sam wronged them or the company in a significant …

    In all these years I'd never seen this. Ironic, but not surprising, that according to this account Snowden did exactly what he accused the US government of doing: mass collecting d…

    "You do not provide an API key. Please enter your openai key" I'm not entering my openai key to a random website. My billing is tied to that. This really makes it difficult to demo…

    This idea seems like it's 100% about distribution. If I owned an extreme sports rental shop, I would have an incentive to get more people to go out and participate in the activitie…

    It's gotten better for everyone in the last few months. It used to be a nightmare, but I haven't seen a timeout or rate limit error in a long time.

    There is no clear answer. It's debatable among experts. The grandparent post seems to believe that the issue is algorithmic complexity and programming aptitude. Personally, I think…

    The difference is that an LLM isn't 1000 different intelligences. It's one intelligence, being asked to pretend to be 1,000 different people. Every instance is the essentially the …

    The problem with this is that it has no memory across the different contexts. An analogy would be giving one page of a five page document to five different people, then taking it a…

    why don't they just repro their own experiment? If they can do it twice, then it isn't a fluke. at worst it's something specific to their lab. if they can't do it a second time, th…
