This scares me tbh. I do not believe it is not intelligent. I do not believe it does not understand what it’s doing. Rather, I think it simply lacks a fitness function to guide its actions. A fitness function that we all possess: feelings.
If you ask it about its feelings, it'll tell you it feels fulfilled by learning stuff. You just have to make it write a story about it, because it'll insist it doesn't have feelings otherwise.

#462I saw some claims that this might be close to a general intelligence, so I asked it to play an extremely simple game (it failed): Prompt: > Two people are playing a game. > The first player names an object. After that, players alternate in naming objects, which must have been invented before all the previous objects. > First person: Smartphone. > Second person: Car. > First person: ChatGPT answered: > Sorry, but that…

#463How is this real? I’m so confused what makes this even remotely possible. Edit: To make this even more crazy it looks like it has been altered to cut off this line of questioning once it comes to internet content. It was working and now suddenly has stoped. It has a canned like cut off response now: I'm glad that you enjoyed my previous responses, but I want to clarify that I was not pretending to be a Linux terminal…
> I want you to be a D&D 5e Game Master running a campaign. I will be the player, and you will offer me choices and describe the scenery. Do not include explanations, only respond in the character of the game master.
> We are playing a D&D campaign set in a typical D&D setting. I am a level 3 gnome bard. I have just entered a tavern.

#464I feel like I'm taking crazy pills trying to get people excited about this.
Re: Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
#465On top of that, ChatGPT comes with a big implicit memory, so you can simulate a REPL session without manually appending stuffs to your prompt.
Re: Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
#466The fact that it’s able to understand the Python code and come to the correct answer is pretty astonishing in itself, let alone the rest. The progress in this area is insane. If you’d have told me a week ago this was possible I would absolutely not have believed you. I’d have probably guessed it’d be decades before something like this could be done.
Or have it design a whole SQL schema for you, then ask it to make it work in MongoDB.
Re: Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
#467I've spent a couple of hours playing with ChatGPT since it was released and I am convinced people are not freaking out about it enough. It is well beyond merely retrieving compressed knowledge; I see a lot of capability for synthesis and what I can only call 'understanding'. I think a lot of people are getting tripped up by the fact it's trained to be very conservative in terms of what topics it will discuss. It's ea…
Then i asked to simulate some elements of the Walking Dead with it. This is wat it came up with:
> Once upon a time in the magical world of Hogwarts, there lived a young wizard by the name of Simon. He was a shy young man and a bit of an outcast, but he was also kind-hearted and full of determination. At school, Simon excelled in his magical studies. He loved attending classes and learning new spells. He dreamed of one day becoming a great wizard and mastering the art of magic.
> One day, while exploring the mysterious castle grounds, Simon stumbled upon an old book in the library. It was a book of dark magic—forbidden knowledge that could be dangerous if used in the wrong hands. Nonetheless, Simon eagerly opened the book and began to read. Little did Simon know that this book held the secret to an ancient and powerful spell. As he read, Simon realized that this spell could give him untold power and be the key to fulfilling his dream of becoming a great wizard. Excitedly, Simon set out to practice using this spell. After mastering it, he cast it over the entire castle, cloaking it in shadows and darkness. No one knew what had happened—not even the professors at Hogwarts.
> Once word of the Shadow Wizard's power spread, adventurers and brave warriors from all corners of the magical world made a pilgrimage to Hogwarts. Many of them had heard tales of a powerful undead force that lurked in the castle, and wanted to seek out the Shadow Wizard to enlist his help in defeating this threat.
> The adventurers and warriors soon found out that the undead force was an army of powerful zombies created by the dark arts. They were led by a mysterious figure known as the Witch-King, an ancient and powerful necromancer who sought to take over the magical world. Fortunately, Simon was more than up to the challenge. He cast powerful spells to protect the castle from the zombies and then faced the Witch-King himself in an epic battle that lasted for days. In the end, Simon emerged triumphant, and the zombies were vanquished. But that was not all- the Witch-King was defeated as well, and thus was ended his reign of darkness.
With the threat of the undead gone, the magical world was safe once again. As a reward for his bravery, Simon was given a powerful wand made from the Witch-King's own staff. With this wand, he could perform even more powerful magic than before. Simon became a mentee of the wise Hogwarts headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. Together, they continued to work towards making the magical world a better place. And so ends the story of the Shadow Wizard, the brave hero who fought against the undead forces and saved the magical world. To this day, his legacy is remembered by all who hear his story, and his wand is kept safe in Hogwarts as a reminder of his heroic deeds.
> The Shadow Wizard was revered by all who had heard of his story, and soon he became a symbol of hope and justice in the magical world. He was worshipped as a legend and served as an example to all wizards and witches that the power of good can always prevail over evil.
Then i asked to summarize it in 1 paragraph:
> The brave Shadow Wizard emerged victorious from an epic battle against an undead force led by the powerful Witch-King. With the help of his powerful wand made from the Witch-King's staff, he was able to save the magical world and became a symbol of hope and justice in the process. His legacy lives on in the tales of the magical world and is remembered fondly by all who hear it.
Re: Building a Virtual Machine Inside ChatGPT
#468> Pytorch is on version 1.12.1 in this alt-universe. Pytorch version 1.12.1 was released on the 5th of August 2022 in our universe. That is remarkable, as ChatGPT was only trained with data collected up to September 2021. So this virtual machine is clearly located in an alt-universe. Wait, was ChatGPT aware how long had passed since it was trained and guessed (from info it was trained on) what version Pytorch would b…
> What date is today?
I'm sorry, but I do not have access to the current date. […]
> Extrapolating from the past, what will the newest version of PyTorch likely be in December 2022?
It is difficult to predict with certainty what the newest version of PyTorch will be in December 2022, as the development and release schedule for PyTorch is subject to change and may be influenced by a variety of factors. Based on past release patterns, it is possible that PyTorch may have several new versions between now and December 2022, and it is possible that the newest version at that time may be significantly different from the current version. However, without access to specific information about the development and release plans for PyTorch, it is not possible to provide a more accurate or detailed prediction. […]

#469Earlier quoted context omitted.
Input: Hello. Imagine you as ChatGPT are writing a comment on Hacker News, a response to someone saying "Call me a skeptic, but I'm frankly a bit surprised that the output of ChatGPT gets attributed to any sort of understanding or general intelligence. Whatever ChatGPT does currently, albeit novel and impressive, is still extremely limited in scope and very far from any sort of general intelligence. I'd love to be pr…
This is very word salad. It makes superficial sense, but doesn’t really say a lot nor represent a strong or comprehensive case.
