Seems like OpenAI is forecasting massive changes to the job market. I highly recommend reading page 18 of the research paper.

"GPT-4 or subsequent models may lead to the automation of certain jobs.[81] This could result in workforce displacement.[82] Over time, we expect GPT-4 to impact even jobs that have historically required years of experience and education, such as legal services.[83]"

I am interested in how a 32k token context even works. That is so much larger than 4k that I am having a hard time imagining how prompts will change and what sort of output is now possible. That is 50 pages of text. Far larger than most content currently being consumed and generated by LLMs. Q&A and summarization it will be easy to see improvements as current recursive summarizing and embedding techniques are very "l…

This is a game-changer, because now companies will probably be able to provide the _complete_ context regarding a specific business problem / use case, and have GPT either solve their problem or create useful output.

For example, let's say I have an issue on GitHub that describes some implementation task. With a 50-page context size, we could probably provide to that context the entire source repo, 5-10 relevant issues, and then the issue in question, and GPT will be probably be able to complete it end-to-end

I cant wait for this to do targeted censorship! It already demonstrates it has strong biases deliberately programmed in: > I cannot endorse or promote smoking, as it is harmful to your health. But it would likely happily promote or endorse driving, skydiving, or eating manure - if asked in the right way.

Why is smoking the exception that it wouldn't endorse even if asked "in the right way"?

> Given both the competitive landscape and the safety implications of large-scale models like GPT-4, this report contains no further details about the architecture (including model size), hardware, training compute, dataset construction, training method, or similar.

My guess is they used Chinchilla scaling rules and the parameter count for GPT-4 is either barely larger or maybe even smaller than GPT-3. Look as what Meta was able to accomplish with llama using much less parameters.

Asking ChatGPT Plus whether the model it's using is GPT-4 responds with the following: > No, I am not GPT-4. As of March 2023, there is no official announcement or release of GPT-4 by OpenAI. I am an earlier version of the GPT series, specifically a large language model trained by OpenAI. Am I missing something here? Maybe this specific answer (which I'm pretty sure is a prewritten thing on top of the actual LLM) is…

In the bottom it should say the version. Does it say March 14th version (gpt-4) or March 13th version (gpt-3.5)?

Test taking will change. In the future I could see the student engaging in a conversation with an AI and the AI producing an evaluation. This conversation may be focused on a single subject, or more likely range over many fields and ideas. And may stretch out over months. Eventually teaching and scoring could also be integrated as the AI becomes a life-long tutor.

Even in a future where human testing/learning is no longer relevant, AIs may be tutoring and raising other baby AIs, preparing them to join the community.

I think it's interesting that they've benchmarked it against an array of standardized tests. Seems like LLMs would be particularly well suited to this kind of test by virtue of it being simple prompt:response, but I have to say...those results are terrifying. Especially when considering the rate of improvement. bottom 10% to top 10% of LSAT in What are the implications for society when general thinking, reading, and…

Imagine ingesting the contents of the internet as though it's a perfect reflection of humanity, and then building that into a general purpose recommendation system. That's what this is Is the content on the internet what we should be basing our systematic thinking around? No, I think this is the lazy way to do it - by using commoncrawl you've enshrined the biases and values of the people who are commenting and provid…

Yeah looking at the responses they include without using a safety layer it’s pretty clear that the underlying unfiltered model assigns quite a bit of truth to 4chan-esque ideals and values

It’s an open question how much of this makes it through the safety layer like if asked to interview job candidates would these undesired biases make it through or are they caught along the way

I have actively tried to incorporate ChatGPT in my everyday life as a dev and architect. ChatGPT is mostly a Litmus test when it comes to coding. If you are impressed by the version before this you are most likely a beginner. ChatGPT is mostly wrong when it comes to any advanced qs in maths or software development. It often gives code that uses features, options, responses in APIs that simple does not exists. Would l…

That is absolutely not true. I was using a Python charting library I had never used before. It was giving me code that was 95% correct, and I could prompt it to change things. It was way more efficient than finding a dozen different examples on Google and applying it to my code since it was continually able to modify the code it was giving me.
