When is typical Hackernews commenter GPT-3 response bot coming out?
On common topics like Facebook, neural networks, and China, the comment section would look no different. Hell, the exact same conversations end up happening most of the time, too.

Re: What is GPT-3? written in layman's terms
#32"Generate text that could believably have been written by a human" is a task we're getting very good at. I'm curious how far it extends towards concrete applications. When can we start using it to fill functionality gaps between the functions of a human-coded framework?
In about the average life span of a redwood tree.

I'm probably going to be dead before Google Assistant can correctly interpret "take me to the McDonald's beside the Target"

#34A comment from r/machinelearning: "It seems obvious from the demos that GPT-3 is capable of reasoning. But not consistently. It would be critical, imo, to see if we can identify a pattern of activity in it associated with the lucid responses vs activity when it prodcues nonsense. If/when we have such a apattern we would need to find a way to enforce it to happen in every interaction" And people agree: "Dunno why you…
I'm not convinced that "capable of reasoning, but not consistently" is a meaningful claim. The examples seem to primarily consist of people spending hours trying things, until eventually GPT-3 outputs a chunk of reasoning they could personally do in seconds. Does that mean that GPT-3 is doing the reasoning, or does it mean that GPT-3 is an English-based lookup table and they managed to find a clever sequence of searc…

Suppose an entity will consistently do reasoning well, but only when the humidity and temperature are each in a quite narrow range. It seems like it makes sense to say that such an entity is capable of reasoning. Now, suppose we don't know that the conditions for it to do reasoning well are that the humidity and temperature are in that range, we just know that sometimes it looks like it does, sometimes it looks like it doesn't (and maybe we aren't yet sure if it seeming to reason is just an illusion in the way you describe).
I think in such a situation, it would be accurate to say that it can reason, but we haven't yet found a way to make it do so consistently.
So, I think the statement that it is "capable of reasoning, but not consistently" is a meaningful statement.
However, whether it is an accurate statement is a very different question, and one which I am not claiming an answer to.

#35How long until someone builds GPT-4 with several trillion parameters? How much would that cost?

#36I have seen comments on Reddit that smelled as though something like this was used to create them. I don't see how, in future, we are going to be able to meet up and discuss constructively with strangers online, if this thing can be used to emulate people.

#37Apologies i realize this is a bit of a tangent but what i would like and can't find is an understandable description of how Generative neural networks work. My very basic understanding of neural networks is as a classifier. Cat and dog pictures in, likelihood out. I can't get any intuition about how this can generate new cat pictures.. is it a search problem? How does that search work?

Isn't this a text-only article? My issue is rather with the title of the page, "Tinkered Thinking", instead of "Tinkered Thinking - What is GPT-3?", which harms bookmarking.

#39where one should start learning how to leverage OPENAPI to build some complex logic? i've seen gym, but it seems to me that they are predefined envs where you can just play.

Don't just chuck your bookmarks into a pile. Sort them, label them - curate them.
Otherwise it's pretty much "garbage in, garbage out".
