    No, that's not what I meant. I meant that in its reinforcement learning phase, GPT saw examples of "fix this text" style requests and was rewarded for doing a good job. That's diff…

    I would if I could - I have an external GPU at home. Unfortunately Apple is (not without reason) angry at nvidia so they dropped support for Nvidia in Mac OS. I’d have to use Windo…

    This is true of every field of science and even social science I’ve known. Also the same terms have different meaning in different fields. Also the standard use of a term within a …
