Does ChatGPT yet have a debug function to Show Its Work so to speak? I think this will be important in the future when it gets itself into drama, trouble, etc.. Probably also useful to prove how ChatGPT created something rather than being known as an opaque box.

You can prompt it to be more logical and have it expose its thoughts a bit more by asking it "Thinking step-by-step, ?" And it should respond with "1. 2. 3. " or something like that.

You'll never be able to get it to actually show its work though. That's just a hack to make it write more verbosely.

ELI5 What is a token? Is it a word, question, letter, what? If I ask a question like... What is the capital of Canada? And it responds with 'Ottawa', how many tokens have I used there and how are they calculated?

Token cost is prompt + response. In the case of ChatGPT you don't know the full prompt, but they don't charge by tokens for that app.

In the API you need to tokenize your input and tokenize the output then add the counts together.

> Through a series of system-wide optimizations, we’ve achieved 90% cost reduction for ChatGPT since December; we’re now passing through those savings to API users. Developers can now use our open-source Whisper large-v2 model in the API with much faster and cost-effective results. I'm really confused, I thought they were a non-profit. A non-profit to handle AI safety risks. Why does this read like a paragraph from a…

It looks like they transitioned to for-profit, more or less, in 2019.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

So you feel that when progress enables us to provide more abundance for humanity, we should artificially limit that abundance for everyone so that a few people aren't inconvenienced?

[flagged]

You stated that AI shouldn't be creating, because humans should be creating. Think about the motivations and implications for that for a minute.

This feels like the AI’s iPhone moment. I am scared for all people working service jobs.

All jobs will shift to asteroid mining.

AI is the perfect job for asteroid mining, or any other job outside of Earth orbit, whether for research or commerce. Space is incredibly hostile to humans and, short of some miracle technology, is likely to always remain so: at best we'll have a few plant-the-flag missions in the inner solar system.

Could explain what the point of "Bearer" is in this authorization header? "Authorization: Bearer $OPENAI_API_KEY"

As for why it's "Bearer", here's ChatGPT's answer:

> The term "Bearer" is commonly used in the context of securities and financial instruments to refer to the person who holds or possesses a particular security or asset. In the case of OAuth 2.0, the bearer token represents the authorization that a user has granted to a client application to access their protected resources.

> By using the term "Bearer" in the Authorization header, the OAuth 2.0 specification is drawing an analogy to the financial context where a bearer bond is a type of security that is payable to whoever holds it, similar to how a bearer token can be used by anyone who possesses it to access the protected resource.

Big news! Many apps will be integrating ChatGPT. Worried about AI-generated content flood the search engine, making it harder to do in-depth research.

This is a good thing. The future is curation and cultivation. We've been living in an age of information abundance and markets haven't adapted. The age of "crawl every website, index everything, and let people search it" is coming to an end. There is just too much content and too much of it is low quality. With or without AI. This abundance problem isn't just a WWW problem. Movies, TV, music, podcasts, short form con…

Why separate noise from signal? Why isn't AI-generated stuff seen just as valuable as human-written one? When you fill the world with plastic, you need to evolve to eat plastic. When you surround yourself with AI-produced stuff, then you should learn to respect it.

First of all, evaluating someone based on what they wrote or said or did, is nonsense.

DJT and "contraption", "time and space", really? ;-)
