#62Sidenote, thanks for showing me sharegpt... Often you want to show something and screenshots are such a terrible way to go. I don't understand why OpenAI doesn't have a share icon with a pretty print html link. Hey OpenAI, that'd be a good idea?
OpenAI doesn't like when people contribute their data for open datasets. Sharing might lead to having all shared links crawled and saved for open source models. Check out shareGPT (118,139 conversations shared) it's what Google used to tune Brad. How desperate can they be to act like LLaMA hackers. In the meantime projects like OpenAssistant do the RLHF tagging the hard way, slowly but surely. https://open-assistant.…
Why isn’t ShareGPT invested in? It’s a bit ghostly. Like, no commenting, old news, etc.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while. I figure eventually something like this will be bigger than Facebook. (All our AI sharing? That’s a lot of content)

#63Many unrealistic things about this. Various hallucinations, mistakes, anachronisms, etc. Interesting, but not the mark of an AI capable of abstraction or memory.
What’s the argument against abstraction? Neural networks are pretty good at it and I think GPT is human level good at it. What’s the counterargument?

#64A 1987 BBS would not ask for an email address, would it?
Email as technology existed, but as I recall commonly based on UUCP with bang-type addresses. A BBS kind of assume public accessible phone based access and that was kind of orthogonal to UUCP.

Yes, no BBS I used looked like that also. Also funny that it has those ASCII chars to draw frames at the beginning, but completely misses their purpose.. so much for the emergent inference. Is this 3 or 4?

#68The ASCII text at the start almost starts to make sense if you jigg the
characters a bit:
At least there are discernible letters. "AIRO8ERS"? Does anyone know what that could be from? Was there a BBS named something like that?
Hey, HN! Why can't I see box drawings when I paste them in the message box? What kind of internets site is this, huh? No ASCII art?

#70I don’t recall chatting with anyone who wrote with such good grammar, spelling, or politeness. I do remember a lot of “shut up kid go back to high school!” But I can see how someone who wasn’t there might think this is what it was like.
> But I can see how someone who wasn’t there might think this is what it was like. ChatGPT pseudo-history. We need to educate our kids with this.
Kids need to be taught how to use ChatGPT because it’s here to stay and they will use it, but it’s also important to demonstrate that ChatGPT is both useful and senile, and so you need to validate its responses with secondary sources.
