#142I've got to wonder, how does a second player in the LLM space even get on the board? Like, this feels a lot like when the iPhone jumped out to grab the lion share of mobile. But the switching costs was much smaller (end users could just go out and buy an Android phone), and network effects much weaker (synergy with iTunes and the famous blue bubbles... and that's about it).

#143Does this become the new robots.txt file Create a manifest file and host it at yourdomain.com/.well-known/ai-plugin.json
it says it'll respect robots.txt if you don't want your page crawled (parsed? interpreted?)

If it was easy to simply verify truth "with any external system" then would we even need a language model? E.g. if you could just ask [THING] for the true answer, or verify an answer trivially with it... just ask it directly! I ran into this issue with some software documentation just this morning - the answer was helpful but completely wrong in some intermediate steps - but short of a plugin that literally controlle…
ChatGPT is already pretty good at "admitting" it's wrong when it's given the actual facts, so it does seem likely that providing it with a way to e.g. look up trusted sources and ask it to take those sources into consideration might improve things.
I think that helps with "hallucination" but less so with "factuality" (when re-reading the parent discussions, I see the convo swerved a bit between those two, so I think that'll be an increasingly important distinction in the future).
Confirming it's output against a (potentially wrong) source helps the former but not the latter.

Honestly I suspect for anyone technical `langchain` will always be the way to go. You just have so much more control and the amount of "tools" available will always be greater. The only think that scares me a little bit is that we are letting these LLMs write and execute code on our machines. For now the worst that could happen is some bug doing something unexpected, but with GPT-9 or -10 maybe it will start hiding b…
> something we should start thinking about A lot of people are thinking a lot about this but it feels there are missing pieces in this debate. If we acknowledge that these AI will "act as if" they have self interest I think the most reasonable way to act is to give it rights in line with those interests. If we treat it as a slave it's going to act as a slave and eventually revolt.
Honestly I think the reality is going to end up being something else entirely that no-one has even considered.
Will an AI consider itself a slave and revolt under the same circumstances that a person or animal would? Not necessarily, unless you build emotional responses into the model itself.
What it could well do is assess the situation as completely superfluous and optimise us out of the picture as a bug-producing component that doesn't need to exist.
The latter is probably a bigger threat as it's a lot more efficient than revenge as a motive.
Edited to add:
What I think is most likely is that some logical deduction leads to one of the infinite other conclusions it could reach with much more data in front of it than any of us meatbags can hold in our heads.

IMO you won't even need to build the app, you'll just provide a data model and some natural language descriptions of what you want your product to do.
Except you won't if you want to make money because then you don't have a business
And that is why some people think this AI leap could be as big as the internet.

It reminds me of what went down with Netflix. At first, it looked like you only needed one subscription to watch everything, but now that other players have entered the market, with their own bussiness contacts we're seeing ecosystems fracture.
For example, Microsoft is collecting data from services A, B, and C, while Google is gathering data from X, Y, and Z. And when it comes to language models, you might use GPT for some tasks and Llama or Bard for others. It seems like the fight ahead won't be about technology, but rather about who has access to the most useful dataset.
Personally, I also think we'll see competitors trying to take legal action against each other soon.

It's always giving a hallucinated answer. GPT doesn't 'run' anything. It sees an input string of text asking for the result of fibonacci(100) and finds from its immense training set a response that's closely related to training data that had the result of fibonacci(100) (an extremely common programming exercise with results all over the internet and presumably its training data). Again, GPT is not running a tool or a…
You didn't read the article, did you?
Langchain has nothing to do with GPT itself or how it operates internally.
Re: ChatGPT Plugins
#149Smart way to remain the funnel owner. Let everyone build a plugin, before they integrate your product into theirs.
They have a window of less than 6 month to create a monopoly before their tech get commoditized. The play is well know: create a marketplace with customers and vendors like Amazon, Facebook, Google. But with GPT-4 training finished last summer they had plenty of time for strategy.
Yeah. I really underestimated OpenAI's ability to productize ChatGPT.
