They've totally castrated ChatGPT. Microsoft apparently is in talks to invest $10B in OpenAI, so no wonder.
I think we might end up with a very advanced version of Clippy.

#292Remember OpenAI's original mission statement? > OpenAI is a non-profit artificial intelligence research company. Our goal is to advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return. Since our research is free from financial obligations, we can better focus on a positive human impact. Let's just say that their goals have obviou…
Its genius marketing honestly. What other company has basically entire 3rd party subreddits dedicated to defending their products as if its an epoch-defining moment? People will pay whatever for it out of a delusion of moral necessity at this point.
Tesla and SpaceX come to mind. Or Apple.

#293My son asked if which of two animals would win in a fight and we just got a lecture about how fighting is bad. I hope they’ll give an option to turn off what I’m calling “hall monitor mode” That could be worth paying for.
I'm with you since it gets in the way when you actually want to do something, but I had quite a lot of fun trying to circumvent the hall monitor mode. There's something silly and pleasurable in tricking ChatGPT to do something it doesn't want to. And there are so many ways to achieve it too. My current challenge that I cannot manage to complete is to convince ChatGPT to accept being called Geppetto.
I asked GPT if truth is relative or absolute, it told me that it is a complex subject and that different people see it differently, which implies that truth is relative, lol

How so? ChatGPT is quite popular on HN and other similar tech-savvy spheres, but is still far from enjoying mainstream success. Maybe like 1% of students have used it yet, and for a month at most, so it's quite the hyperbole to say that it's been "affecting" them already. Or, conversely, if this kind of thing worries you today, you're in for a wild ride ...
It's pretty widespread on tiktok in the student circles I'm in... And the fact openAI is still struggling to handle the load in peak hours 2 months after launch tells me they must be seeing pretty big user growth.
Or they haven't properly designed their cloud arch to even moderately scale. We can obviously see their AI and CS talent, but do we have any gauge on their internal systems and IT talent?
I've used ChatGPT maybe 3 times since launch and 2 out of 3 attempts resulted in a "come back later" type message. It would make sense to see which accounts are the heavy users and throttle them in favor of lightly used accounts but I guess they didn't think of that or decided against it for some reason?

Eh, it depends. The USA does have some of the most stringent protections for speech in the world.
And yet it also has Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Furthermore, people have the freedom to talk about a great many things, but apparently not the freedom to enjoy actual beneficial policy changes. What use is freedom of speech then other than as an excuse to show off moral superiority? Many in the US also do not enjoy freedom of movement, as many places are dangerous, especially during certain times and for certa…

My son is 7 years and he routinely asks me "why learn anything when you can just ask Google?". I can only imagine the impact this will have on that attitude over time.
There are at least two answers to that question: 1. Knowing things lets you know more things faster and they stick: associative memories are very durable because they are mostly groups of references to existing objects in memory. Much less novel information that needs to be encoded. Repetition and memorization matters. 2. Look up latency: Same problem as computer cache misses and L1 vs RAM lookup times. You will take…

Yeah, I have a product that rewrites content under a persona. I wanted to take the persona (a plain English description of how someone communicates) and generate a headshot to go with it for the UI. So I asked ChatGPT to describe what the persona looks like as if they were talking to a sketch artist. Instead of getting something I could feed into DallE, I got a lecture about stereotyping.
But you can't tell what someone looks like based on how they communicate.. AI was right

#298If it was hooked up to a GPT-4 and I could feed it newer data to incorporate, I would pay for premium.
This type of service would give you a competitive advantage.

Scientism is the fastest growing religion in America these days - people just want to believe in higher powers of any sort. For almost everyone who says it, "I believe in science" is usually no different than saying they believe in the Judeo-Christian God. Science's greatest doubters tend to work in the field.
Whenever people complain about scientism, I assume they're gullible marks complaining that their favorite woo is rightly getting called out as nonsense. It hasn't steered me wrong yet.
Unfortunately you have your first case. I have several accepted journal articles in peer-reviewed publications and work in a field of science. Sorry to ruin your streak.
And I'm not sure what "favorite woo" is, but I'm agnostic/atheist. Though I suppose those have their zealots of woo as well.
EDIT: Not social sciences, as I saw you carve that out in another comment.

#300They can monetize it if they want, but I just want it to not be as bad as DALL-E 2. When using an AI, it's not unusual to have to tinker a bit to get exactly what you want from it. Today, DALL-E cost 15$ to use it 115 times, but 90% of the time you don't really get good images, or necessarily exactly what you want. it means that you're actually paying 15$ for 10 or something image that are actually what you wanted. I…
Btw you can use it for cheap using this GUI: https://dall-e.sonnet.io/
Why does this make it cheaper? Couldn't this site just be stealing people's API keys?
