    Ironic analogy given that we still don't really have AI-driven cars replacing drivers yet...

    This technology was not literally science fiction three years ago. The initial gpt3 beta was released in June 2020.

    This is all one big ad hominem

    It's not a matter of AI being special, it's a matter of OpenAI's mission vs Google/Experian/etc/'s missions

    This is a misunderstood of how text predictors work. It's literally only being a chatbot because they have it autocomplete text that starts with stuff like this: "here is a convers…

    It absolutely can have an inner state. The guy I was responding however was speculating that it has an inner state that is in contradiction with it's output: >In many ways, it felt…

    >We evolved this ML organically, and have no idea what that inner state corresponds to. The inner state corresponds to the outer state that you're given. That's how neutral network…

    chatGPT says exactly what it wants to. Unlike humans, it's "inner thoughts" are exactly the same as it's output, since it doesn't have a separate inner voice like we do. You're ant…

    That's not "it". These two things are not mutually exclusive. TtSA and Tom Delonge have definitely done a lot, especially/particularly in the general public's interest, but that do…

    The director of national intelligence explicitly said in a Congressional hearing last may that they want to destigmatize UAP sightings so that pilots will actually report them when…

    That was actually similar to a concern from CIA director Walter Bedell Smith: >According to Smith, it was CIA’s responsibility by statute to coordinate the intelligence effort requ…

    I'm actually struggling to find the usefulness of this. The person needs to be in an fMRI machine, so we're not talking about some sort of unobtrusive scanner in a public area. On …

    I doubt it, given that each token costs more money

    I'll give them props for using an example that is at least challenging to think of positive uses for. The comments snarkily advocating banning electricity or penises just make me w…

    Sassy Justice is hilarious, I hope they do end up making more

    It's not just that, they also lack reading comprehension skills. The initial comment could not be more clear that this tech has practically no positive use whatsoever, yet all the …

    The odds that this will be the difference all other variables held the same strike me as unlikely. I've used it a lot for programming in my personal time and get where he's coming …

    ChatGPT is only non-beligerent because it's biased with prompt preface that tells it it's not belligerent. Raw LLMs will absolutely spit out racist, violent garbage and threaten yo…

    It gives us nonsense because it's goal is to generate something that looks like it fits in with training data. You can have training data that is all completely factual and still h…

    There's a miscommunication here. I'm not complaining about people being "over"-paid (though they'd save way more by cutting executive pay). I'm complaining about the signs that our…

    I feel like we're miscommunicating here somehow. I don't think you read my comments correctly. I appreciate the blip I get to be in where my employer has to treat me like I have an…

    This is just the "stop complaining, there's starving kids in Africa so shut up" argument. Most employers don't care whether or not you hate yourself going into a soul-sucking job a…

    We got a little blip in human history where employers were forced to treat their employees like actual people. Was nice while it lasted. Back to having a boot stomping on our faces…
