> He reiterated his belief in the importance of open source and said that OpenAI was considering open-sourcing GPT-3. Part of the reason they hadn’t open-sourced yet was that he was skeptical of how many individuals and companies would have the capability to host and serve large LLMs. Am I reading this right? "We're not open sourcing GPT-3 because we don't think it would be useful to anyone else"

When you stop listening to what Sam Altman says and just focus on what he does, you can see the guy is a bit of a snake. Greedy power-hungry man imho.

In your world how would you consider Sam Altman having no equity in OpenAI? And everyone finding out after it had a viral hit

Probably no different given his involvement in worldcoin

> I love the tongue-in-cheek paradox myth that the Bitcoin whitepaper was written by a future god-AI to increase demand for GPUs (and thus boost supply) so we are able to assemble the future god-AI. I know it's a joke, but the hole is the god-AI couldn't have been that smart, since cryptocurrency-mining quickly switched to ASICs, which muting the demand increase for GPUs.

But not before ramping up development and production of GPUs.

Production MAYBE, I'm not sure what makes you think bitcoin would have ramped up the development of GPUs. What part of the last 10 years of GPU development looks bitcoin-focused to you? They're still very very focused on rendering and machine learning, not computing hashes.

Fun to imagine a time machine being built but the only thing it can transmit backward in time is PDFs

I wouldn't install Adobe Acrobat even if it gave me access to break the laws of spacetime.

>The fact that scaling continues to work has significant implications for the timelines of AGI development. The scaling hypothesis is the idea that we may have most of the pieces in place needed to build AGI and that most of the remaining work will be taking existing methods and scaling them up to larger models and bigger datasets. If the era of scaling was over then we should probably expect AGI to be much further a…

Someone did that calculation and the result is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/13u40yf/ 100x GPT-4 to 85%.

And, if I'm reading their calculation right, that's 85% on the medium-difficulty bucket, not even the entire HumanEval benchmark?

(quoting from the GPT-4 paper):

>All but the 15 hardest HumanEval problems were split into 6 difficulty buckets based on the performance of smaller models. The results on the 3rd easiest bucket are shown in Figure 2

I’m hoping GPT will remove the information cutoff date. I write plenty of terraform/AWS and it’s a bit of a pain that the latest API isn’t accessible by GPT yet. There’s been quite a bit happening in the programming space since sept 2021. I use GPT to keep things high level and then do my normal research methodology for implementation details.

It's not like an arbitrary imposition, that's the data it was trained on and it's expensive to train. I hope they find a way to continually train in new information too but it's not like they can just remove the cutoff date.

Not disagreeing, but a fascinating thing they did (as a one-off fine-tune?) was teach ChatGPT about the openai python client library, including the features that were added after the cutoff date.

There is no way this guy hasn't figured out some way to get paid out of this.

We just haven't figured out how yet.

that just sounds ridiculous. Teams would have been over the legals for a $10bn investment. Not everyone is financially incentivised.

Also he's already half way to being a billionaire anyway without OpenAI.

Sam Altman is responsible for leading the team that have revolutionised AI in its position within society. There is plenty to criticise OpenAI for but what he and they have achieved is extraordinary, and there is no need for that sort of toxic personal attack.

Sam is responsible for marketing the team which popularized a certain kind of AI product. No need for personal attack.
