Sure, there are a few edge-case failures and mistakes here and there, but I can't help but be in awe . AWE. Let me state the obvious, in case anyone here isn't clear about the implications: If the rate of improvement of these AI models continues at the current pace, they will become a superior user interface to almost every thing you want to do on your mobile phone, your tablet, your desktop computer, your car, your…

I personally can't wait for brands to start specifically advertising "doesn't use AI" as a selling point because everyone got burned by their AI controlled toaster, literally and figuratively. For anything designated an "appliance" I want it to be fixable by someone locally, or it's just throwing money away.

This is already pretty much gone thanks to manufacturers making it extremely difficult to fix things. No AI required.

Has AI been able to figure out conflicting and quickly changing product requirements and implement them on top of existing technical debt? You'll be fine.

People keep saying "ah but it can't do X!". So what? Most of us have multiple decades until we can retire. This AI is getting better every few months. It will be able to do it even faster, better and more cheaply than a human can.

There's an idea with some truth to it. The first 90% is easy, finishing and getting it to 100% is hard, maybe almost impossible. So asking "can it do x" is relevant. Becasue it might not

Has anyone tried GPT-4V on that image?

Note: I had to ask it why people in the photo are laughing. In the image, Barack Obama, the former U.S. President, seems to be playfully posing as if he's trying to add weight while another official, who appears to be former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, is standing on a scale. Obama's gesture, where he's putting his foot forward as though trying to press down on the scale, suggests a playful attempt to make Camer…

Pretty damn good. According to Wikimedia [0]:

"President Barack Obama jokingly puts his toe on the scale as Trip Director Marvin Nicholson, unaware to the President's action, weighs himself as the presidential entourage passed through the volleyball locker room at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, Aug. 9, 2010. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)"

The "Why is this image funny?" test reminds me of https://karpathy.github.io/2012/10/22/state-of-computer-visi... In 10 years we went from "SoTA is so far from achieving this I don't even know where to start" to "That'll be $0.0004 per token and have a nice day"

Has anyone tried GPT-4V on that image?

This image (and the text around it) is certainly already in the training data. Need to create that scenario from scratch with some grad students and then try it.

Yep, some CS/AI grads from Stanford trained an AI on loads of Street View images and built a bot that is able to beat some of the best Geoguessr players: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts5lPDV--cU

IIRC it wasn't that impressive in the end as instead of recognizing the places the AI apparently learnt to recognize subtle differences in street view cameras used in different locations? I might be wrong / thinking of the wrong model l and I'm on mobile without my browsing history so hard to check, but I think it was putting a lot of weight on some pixels that are noisy

Top geoguessr players use this technique as well. IIRC rainbolt mentioned that there is a section of a country where the street view camera has a small blemish from a raindrop on the camera so you can instantly tell where you are if you notice that.

"AI" will create a new business model for sure: "Talk to a real person", "100% human made", etc. This would be the new counter-culture.

Until the AI mainframe runs on your $device

GPT-3 requires 700 gigabytes of GPU RAM. I'm looking at my cheapest computer components retailer listing a 48 gigabyte GPU at $5k. So to run the previous generation of GPT would cost me about $70k right now. When do you think I can expect to run GPT-4 on my consumer $device? :)

That doesn't seem to make sense. I can run Llama 2 on my 12-year-old desktop PC with no compatible GPU and only 16GB of system RAM. It ain't quick, but it runs.

Graph analysis is impressive (last example) - https://imgur.com/a/iOYTmt0 Can do UI to frontend. Seems to understand the UI graphical elements and layout, not just text https://twitter.com/skirano/status/1706823089487491469 Can describe comic images accurately, panel by panel - https://twitter.com/ComicSociety/status/1698694653845848544?... Lots of examples here also - https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/16sdac…

Oh wow, I'm completely fucked as a front end developer.

LOL. I already use it to write half my CSS, and that was before it could see what I was fucking up. I'm looking forward to this.
