There's plenty of retrieval-based models that do cite sources. They just didn't want to deal with it for this release.[1] I'm sure it's already on the roadmap. [1] In fact, some sn…

No, it would take approximately 3 minutes where you either write a paragraph in the desired style yourself or paste one from the Internet and then ask it to continue in that style.…

"Ego sophos, ergo et qui mihi similiter cogitant sophi sunt"?

>AI anime character generator game startups that YC seems to enjoy investing in Wait, YC invests in this space? If it isn't any trouble, could you point me to a few?

>If you have details, let me know. Athanasius is greek for "immortal" and is a common name of saints, church fathers etc. Lubensk (Лубенськ) is an obscure city near Luhansk. Saint …

According to myth, Tamamo-no-Mae would attach herself to emperors and drive them mad, causing them to commit massacres. Hmm...

Your feelings are understandable, but I'd say you will be more effective in actually helping people if you manage to develop compassion even towards people who seem hate-worthy. I …

Then, would you say your actions are in line with the compassionate awareness of bodhicitta?

"Monks, do not wage wordy warfare, saying: 'You don't understand this Dhamma and discipline, I understand this Dhamma and discipline'; 'How could you understand it? You have fallen…

Sorry that my answer comes so late, but I'll put this here for posterity. I will only address the latter part. My point was that a brain is an N x N -matrix in the same sense as an…

It depends on what you'd consider fundamental. It's true that most of our advances since the mid-80s have been about improving the robustness, data- and compute-efficiency of the t…

There's a good reason for this -- the version of GPT-3 used for these tests was fine-tuned on CYOA adventures, where this kind of sudden death is very common.

Your commitment to empiricism is admirable. What kind of evidence would you find sufficient?

If you know what a Markov chain is then you must also know that modern language models are nothing like Markov chains. Just as an example, a Markov chain can't do causal reasoning …

Ending up "net ahead" does not necessarily mean maximizing the fraction of successful projects. I don't think pg is saying that implausible-sounding projects usually turn out good.…

Wouldn't the empirical success of GPT-3 in simple programming tasks itself be evidence against this interpretation? Furthermore, GPT-3 is only a language model because it is traine…

You can play in a similar way with code. It's just that other developers will hate you for it.

Context-free grammars were originally invented by linguists for analyzing natural language. You can see examples of phrase structure and dependency diagrams e.g. here: https://en.w…

I don't think so. Uncurated GPT-3 output is generally very noticeable because it is unable to hold coherence for an article of this length, and will often make the same points over…

Hmm, this still doesn't quite answer my question at the level of concreteness I was looking for. But thank you for clarifying. The thing is, you can only define predictive accuracy…

Can you specify what you mean by "emulate my brain within an acceptable margin of error"? What would this mean as an actual experiment? Depending on your answer, I think we can act…

I've actually done this experiment by putting a GPT-3 bot in a Telegram group. Its replies were mostly stuck in an uncanny valley where they sort of made sense, but often either la…

You are of course free to model the underlying causality as you see fit, but the fact remains that this is one of the most robust and well-understood findings in all of psychology …

I suppose. But given the constant inflation in what we demand of AI for it to count as "intelligent", it seems that eventually our tests will become so strict that most humans will…
