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 work at company that uses AI to automate about ⅓ of the job of trained licensed professionals. Looking at GPT4 those licensed professionals are now completely irrelevant. It's going to take years to build the supporting software around gpt4 to completely eliminate those jobs, but today I am convinced that we are on the verge of massive unemployment. Today thousands of job types have just been made redundant.

What scares me is we are unprepared for the kind of change that a perpetual 20% unemployment rate is going to trigger.

Access is invite only for the API, and rate limited for paid GPT+. > gpt-4 has a context length of 8,192 tokens. We are also providing limited access to our 32,768–context (about 50 pages of text) version, gpt-4-32k, which will also be updated automatically over time (current version gpt-4-32k-0314, also supported until June 14). Pricing is $0.06 per 1K prompt tokens and $0.12 per 1k completion tokens. The context le…

Poe.com(by Quora) have gpt4 now, give it a shot

Seems limited to only one prompt per day. I just tried it.

> 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.

Sounds like the end of them releasing details on the models.

All this bluster about replacing technical jobs like legal counsel ignores that you are fundamentally paying for accountability.

“The AI told me it was ok” only works if, when it’s not, there is recourse.

We can barely hold Google et Al accountable for horrible user policies…why would anyone think OpenAI will accept any responsibility for any recommendations made by a GPT?

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 l…

Reminds me of that idea of a Digital Aristotle by CGP Grey. But once you have an AI that can do that kind of teaching, do you even need the humans?

Today's submarine from the NYT is hilariously unintentionally unflattering, did someone even proof read this? https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/14/technology/openai-new-gpt... Mnemonics to learn basic words: Hola:"Hola, cola" - sounds like "cola" (Coke) Adiós: "Adiós, my toes" - rhymes with "toes" Gracias: "Gracias, grassy ass" - sounds like "grassy ass" Mañana: "Mañana, banana" - rhymes with "banana" Uno: "Uno, you kn…

Yeah, not great, these pronunciation hints kind of sound like what a naive english speaker would guess just from looking at the words (and similarly, like a beginner speaker with a heavy english accent).

Completely agree. I've been frequently using ChatGPT to learn new things in my free time. I realize that there's a huge amount of downplay regarding the accuracy of responses, but unless you're asking specifically for verified references or quotes, it does remarkably well in smoothly guiding you towards new keywords/concepts/ideas. Treat it like a map, rather than a full-self-driving tesla, and it's tremendously useful for learning.

A class of problem that GPT-4 appears to still really struggle with is variants of common puzzles. For example: >Suppose I have a cabbage, a goat and a lion, and I need to get them across a river. I have a boat that can only carry myself and a single other item. I am not allowed to leave the cabbage and lion alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the lion and goat alone together. How can I safely get all three…

Honest question: why would you bother expecting it to solve puzzles? It's not a use case for GPT.

Presumably he wants to get a sense of its reasoning capabilities.

Considering the impact it's having on the collective consciousness, everything is now a use-case for GPT.
