#92this is one smart 5 year old:
what does this do re.sub(r"^[:;]+$", "", string)
This code takes a string (a piece of text) and removes any bit at the start and end of the string that is made up entirely of the characters : or ;. So if you have a string like "Hello :;:;;" then this code will remove the :;:; and it will just be left with "Hello".

#93It is funny to see this be posted in 2023. ELI5 & tl;dr were GPT-3's 2 big claims to fame at release in 2020. That was our whole intuition when we started. GPT-3 does well at tasks where scraping reddit will give you clean training data for it. Not surprised it works well. There is an entire subreddit dedicated to creating training data for exactly this prompt XD. Nice interface and works noticeably better than where…
Interesting, I will check that out. I wasn't aware of that as I don't really follow the space closely other than what pops up on Hacker News. I just played a bit with ChatGPT and thought I'd build a simple app as a way to experiment with the API.
No worries, it is still great. I am loving these little tools coming out based on LLMs.

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
A start would be to detect if the result of the prompt includes your exact prompt. Or something that looks similar. Although one could probably tell it to talk like a pirate to evade that, or something.
> A start would be to detect if the result of the prompt includes your exact prompt. That's exactly what I did. But there are probably ways to have the model encode the response (e.g. "answer but with the words in reversed order"), so I do expect motivated people to figure out ways to extract it. I guess I'd probably spend more effort on this if my prompt was really clever, but it's not.
I have a sneaking suspicion the "moat" of AI models will be in the data used to fine-tune them. Prompts are, as you alluded, inherently impossible to fully secure and playing cat and mouse with all the ways they can be compromised wastes a lot of time that could be spent on more important things.

#95Question: Why was Galileo burned at the stake?
Answer: Galileo was burned at the stake because he believed something that people in power did not want him to believe. Galileo said that it was the sun that was in the middle of our solar system, and not the Earth. In those days, people in power believed that the Earth was the center of the universe and that it never moved. But Galileo thought that the Earth moved around the sun, and this made people very upset. They did not want Galileo to teach this idea, so they punished him for not believing the same thing that they did. They burned him at the stake, which was a kind of punishment reserved for people who had done very bad things.

#96Very cool idea!
Caught it out with "What is a lie that is always true?"
> A lie that is always true is when people say "I'm fine" when something is really wrong. Even if there is a problem, a lot of people will say "I'm fine" instead of talking about what's really wrong. So even when people say "I'm fine" in situations like these, it's still a lie - but it's one that's always true.

#97I guess since e=mc^2 everything is just energy anyway.
Q: How do computers work?
A: Computers use something called electricity to store information and use it to help with tasks. Electricity is a form of energy that comes from a power source like a wall outlet. Once electricity is plugged into a computer, it gets divided into two parts: hardware and software. Hardware includes all of the parts you can see and touch like your mouse, keyboard and monitor. The software is the programs, like games or word processors, that help you do things with the computer. All of these parts work together to help a computer do things like turn on and show you a display.

Nice try. You almost got me for a moment.
Also a perfect example of an LLM hallucinating but seeming so darn plausible

#99"How are cows made?" > Cows are not actually made, they are born! Cows are animals, and animals give birth to baby animals, just like humans do! Okay, nice, with you so far. > When a cow and a bull (a male cow) want to make a baby, the bull puts his sperm inside the cow through her bottom Wait, wut?
It feels like it realised it was talking to a 5 year old mid sentence.

#100It crashed when I asked it, "what is love?" Heh
This is what I get:
Q: What is love?
A: Love is when you really care about someone and want to be around them because they make you happy. It's like having a really close friend, but even better. When you love someone, you want them to have all the nice things in life, and you don't care about yourself as much, because you just want them to be happy.
