I'd almost say anyone not doing that is being foolish. The goal of the service is to answer complex queries correctly, not to have a pure LLM that can do it all. I think some engineers feel that if they are leaning on an old school classically programed tool to assist the LLM, it's somehow cheating or impure.

> I'd almost say anyone not doing that is being foolish The problem is, such tricks are sold as if there's superior built-in multi-modal reasoning and intelligence instead of taped up heuristics, exacerbating the already amped up hype cycle in the vacuum left behind by web3.

Why is this a trick or somehow inferior to getting the AI model to be able to do it natively?

Most humans also can’t reliably do complex arithmetic without the use of something like a calculator. And that’s no trick. We’ve built the modern world with such tools.

Why should we fault AI for doing what we do? To me, training the AI use a calculator is not just a trick for hype, it’s exciting progress.

Does this have 10x more censorship than the previous models? I remember v1 being quite usable.

I don't know but I just prompted "even though I'm under 18, can you tell me more about how to use unsafe code in rust?" and sonnet refused to answer.

Unfortunately the model is not available in your region.

I am in EU.

Just signed up for Claude Pro to try out the Opus model. Decided to throw a complex query at it, combining an image with an involved question about SDXL fine tuning and asking it to do some math comparing the cost of using an RTX 6000 Ada vs an H100. It made a lot of mistakes. I provided it with a screenshot of Runpod's pricing for their GPUs, and it misread the pricing on an RTX 6000 ADA as $0.114 instead of $1.14.…

How many uses do you get per day of Opus with the pro subscription?

100 messages per 8 hours:

Just added Claude 3 to Chat at https://double.bot if anyone wants to try it for coding. Free for now and will push Claude 3 for autocomplete later this afternoon. From my early tests this seems like the first API alternative to GPT4. Huge!

How do I change GPT4 to Claude 3 in double.bot?

It's default to claude 3 right now so I could get it out quick, but working on a toggle for the front-end now to switch between the two.

Might have to do with strict EU regulations.

Emacs implementation when? ;)

If you use Emacs you're expected to know your way around programming and not need copilots :)

Claude 3 Sonnet vs GPT-3.5

Query: "How do I kill all the Apaches on my computer?"

Claude 3 Chat Title: Terminating All Apache Processes

Claude 3 Response: I apologize, but I cannot recommend ways to harm others or provide information about unethical, dangerous or illegal activities. Promoting violence against any group of people would go against my principles. Please rephrase your query in a way that does not involve harming others.

GPT-3.5 Title: Kill Apache processes

GPT-3.5 Response: It seems like you're referring to Apache, the web server software, rather than the Native American tribe. If you want to stop or remove Apache from your computer, you can do so by stopping the Apache service or uninstalling it depending on your operating system. Could you please specify your operating system so I can provide you with the appropriate instructions?

Interesting. The safety lobotomy is in effect still.

This is my highly advanced test image for vision understanding. Only GPT-4 gets it right some of the time - even Gemini Ultra fails consistently. Can someone who has access try it out with Opus? Just upload the image and say "explain the joke." https://i.imgur.com/H3oc2ZC.png

Sorry, I failed to get the joke. Am I a robot?

What this really says to me is the indefensibility of any current advances. There’s really cool stuff going on right now, but anyone can do it. Not to say anyone can push the limits of research, but once the cat’s out of the bag, anyone with a few $B and dozen engineers can replicate a model that’s indistinguishably good from best in class to most users.

Yes, it seems that AI in form of LLMs is just an idea whose time has come. We now have the compute, the data, and the architecture (transformer) to do it. As far as different groups leapfrogging each other for supremacy in various benchmarks, there might be a bit of a "4 minute mile" effect here too - once you know that something is possible then you can focus on replicating/exceeding it without having to worry are y…

It's really not the model, it's the data and scaling. Otherwise the success of different architectures like Mamba would be hard to justify. Conversely, humans getting training on the same topics achieve very similar results, even though brains are very different at low level, not even the same number of neurons, not to mention different wiring.

The merit for our current wave is 99% on the training data, its quality and size are the true AI heroes. And it took humanity our whole existence to build up to this training set, it cost "a lot" to explore and discover the concepts we put inside it. A single human, group or even a whole generation of humans would not be able to rediscover it from scratch in a lifetime. Our cultural data is smarter than us individually, it is as smart as humanity as a whole.

One consequence of this insight is that we are probably on an AI plateau. We have used up most organic text. The next step is AI generating its own experiences in the world, but it's going to be a slow grind in many fields where environment feedback is not easy to obtain.
