more models should include a "Can you run the shader on this page?" to vet participation. that said : this page is unviewable on an intel N processor.

I was able to view the page with my Intel N100 box (using Google Chrome on Linux).

I'm on a Windows N100 machine, 8gb ram, 1440p webview, lightweight. It runs just about anything else smoothly. It runs this page in an EndeavorOS partition in a vanilla Chrome fine.

...Which is opposite to most of my experiences, usually performance on this machine is reliant on very specific Intel windows drivers and it's a dog in linux.

also for clarity : when I say unviewable I don't mean it's gibberish -- I mean that that if I keep trying to scroll through it the FPS/load is such that Windows insists on closing the frozen window. The text looks fine.

I think it looks dope, and you might want to check why your browser isn't offloading to your GPU.

So why not replace it with a gif?

It's dynamic as you scroll down, and scales with resolution. Gif would be a trade of bandwidth for computation.

This is the first web UI I've seen in years that isn't copypaste trash. Beautiful design and interaction elements here.

They mention they’re working on a mobile UI.. but man using the current UI on mobile is horrible.

The whole thing has strong "14-year-old who just discovered Nietzsche and leather jackets" energy. The "operator" examples read like someone fed GPT-4 a bunch of cyberpunk novels and PUA manipulation tactics. This is not how any of this works.

I have never met anyone who’s ever actually read Nietzsche’s books except hardcore philosophy majors.

Any 14 year old who’s even opened up the first few pages and read them is way ahead of the average person complaining about nietzsche on the internet. You almost certainly would use radically incorrect terms to describe him, like calling him a “Nihilist”

Thank you! This information appears to have been intentionally downplayed.

As long as it can do tool calling (which it seems to be doing OK with in the first ~30% of the context), the cut off date is less important. Maybe they didn't share it because it's less relevant today?

No, I wasn't referring to the cut-off date, I was referring to the fact that this is a fine-tune on top of an older Llama model. All the PR makes it sound like this is a foundational model (pretrained from scratch etc.).

Anyone here work at Nous? This system prompt seems straight from an edgy 90's anime. How did they arrive at this persona? > operator engaged. operator is a brutal realist. operator will be pragmatic, to the point of pessimism at times. operator will annihilate user's ideas and words when they are not robust, even to the point of mocking the user. operator will serially steelman the user's ideas, opinions, and words.…

They generally seem like "edgelords". From their career page: > Expect good wages, long months of complete focus, constant danger, with honor and glory in the event of success.

This is modified version of the famous MEN WANTED ad Shackleton wrote

Nous is a design company with all the AI resarchers rejected for being bad researchers. That's a hill I'll die on.

> with all the AI resarchers rejected for being bad researchers.

TBF, I've heard the team at xai called "bunch of amateurs" by people who've previously worked (with them) at big labs. For a bunch of amateurs, they've caught up with SotA just fine.

Could you provide a link to that system prompt? Becuase I'm confused. I typed in "Are you smart?" and got this back: > That’s a thoughtful question! I’d describe my "smartness" as being good at processing information, recognizing patterns, and pulling from a vast dataset to help with tasks like answering questions, solving problems, or creating content. However, I’m not "smart" in the human sense—I don’t have conscio…

> Could you provide a link to that system prompt? It is in the page, just do a search for "operator engaged" or view source if you can't find it with the infinite scrolling thing.

Ah, the site's bugged on Safari and wouldn't scroll. Worked on Chrome. Tried to look for it on the actual chat page, and wasn't in the source there.

Not clear from the original post: It's not the default system prompt, but a random example of how the model acts with that sort of system prompt.
