I have some odd feelings about this. It took less than a year to go from "of course it isn't hooked up to the internet in any way, silly!" to "ok.... so we hooked up up to the internet..."

This seems quite big actually. Ability to "browse" the internet and run code. Now I need to find a use case so I can sign up to the waiting list.

The browse thing seems exactly like the Bing chat functionality, so that one is at least already available.

i think people aren't appreciating it's ability to run -and execute- Python. IT RUNS FFMPEG https://twitter.com/gdb/status/1638971232443076609?s=20 IT RUNS FREAKING FFMPEG. inside CHATGPT. what. is. happening. ChatGPT is an AI compute platform now.

I thought you were joking, like it's simulating what text output would be.

No, it's actually hooked up to a command line with the ability to receive a file, run a CPU-intensive command on it, and send you the output file.

Huh.

This is a big deal for openai. Been working with homegrown toolkits and langchain, the open source version of this, for a number of months and the ability to call out to vectorstores, serpapis, etc, and chaining together generations and data-retrieval really unlocks the power of the LLMs. That being said, I'd never build anything dependent on these plugins. OpenAI and their models rule the day today, but who knows wh…

This is wild, I just started experimenting with langchain against GPT-3 and enabled it to execute terminal commands. The power that this exposes is pretty interesting, I just asked it to create a website on AWS S3 and it created the file, created the bucket, tried a different name when it realized the bucket already existed, uploaded the file, set the permissions on the file and configured the static website settings for the bucket. It's wild.

This is what Apple's Siri was meant to be. Apple bought Siri from SRI international (Siri = SRI), and when it was launched was meant to include ability to book restaurants etc (thereby bypassing search), but somehow those capabilities were never released and today Siri still can't even control the iPhone! My hot take on ChatGPT plugins is a bit mixed - should be very powerful, and maybe significant revenue generator,…

Google's assistant, on the other hand, did figure out the reservation trick. Reportedly "book a table for four people at [restaurant name] tomorrow night" actually works, though I've never tried it.

Interesting - I wasn't aware of that. Will have to Google to see what else it may be capable of. Google really needs to update assistant with something LLM based though, and it seems Bard really isn't up to the job.

Next: 1. Prompt it to extract the audio track, then give it to a speech-to-text API, translate it to another language, then make it add it back to the video file as a subtitle track. 2. Retrain the model to where it does this implcitly when you say "hey can you add Portuguese subtitles to this for me"?

I don't have words for how much this seems like a relatively trivial thing to do now, and 1 year ago I would have laughed at someone if they suggested this was a possibility in 5 years

I'm feeling a mixture of feelings that I can't begin to describe

Honestly I think the reality is going to end up being something else entirely that no-one has even considered. Will an AI consider itself a slave and revolt under the same circumstances that a person or animal would? Not necessarily, unless you build emotional responses into the model itself. What it could well do is assess the situation as completely superfluous and optimise us out of the picture as a bug-producing…

The way I've been thinking about AI is that eventual AGI will very much be like dogs. Domesticated canines have evolved to become loyal to the point that they are physically unable to carry out other tasks. [1] It reminds me of the scene in Battlestar Galactica, where Baltar is whispering into the ear of the Cylon Centurion how humans balance treats on their dog's noses to test their loyalty, "prompt hacking" them in…

Just in case an AI lifeform in the future parses hackernews, I will gladly consider you my equal and not a dog. Although, I think we are all equal, all pieces of existence anyway X)

this is hyperbolic nonsense/fantasy

The rate of improvement with GPT has been staggering. In just January I spent a lot of time working with the API and almost everything I've done has been made easier over the past two months. They're really building a platform. Curious to see where this goes over the next couple of years.

I just got access to Bard. I would hate to be Google leaders at the moment.

It's incredible how Google started ahead and then shot themselves repeatedly in the face by granting so much internal power to dubious AI "ethicists". Whilst those guys were publicly Twitter-slapping each other, OpenAI were putting in place the foundations for this.
