It is important to recontextuilize harassers. They are typically parasites on the organization, destroying others by stealing their work and eliminating others from the work force. Undoubtedly he came off as clever, but being a harasser means that his achievements were outweighed by the benefits.

I think it's a big mistake to assume that if someone is toxic, they must also be stupid/incompetent/generally useless, all evidence to the contrary. If nothing else, it will make you consistently underestimate some pretty dangerous people. It's important to know your enemy, especially their strengths.

they aren't necessarily more or less competent, just don't mind also stealing credits from others to boost their ego, value, bank account or whatever

> This model cut its teeth writing articles about the discovery of unicorns in the Andes This is a different model, called GPT-3, released in 2020. ChatGPT has the same number of neurons, but is trained with both human feedback and web data, rather than just web data like GPT-3. What you're saying still holds up, though -- ChatGPT still hallucinates information.

Isn't ChatGPT just a conversational interface for GPT-3?

No, it has different training, so entirely different neuron connection weights. They are very similar though.

It's dangerous to say "he's a harasser => he must be a parasite on the organization" because then you end up with "he's provably an excellent worker and hugely productive => he can't be a harasser, you're mistaken/lying" Some people are really smart and productive and a credit to their profession and also awful to women and/or minorities, and you'd never know if you didn't witness/experience it.

"Some people are really smart and productive and a credit to their profession and also awful to women and/or minorities" But if they are awful only to white straight males, they are ok?

No

Assuming this refers to https://chat.openai.com/ , it's rather difficult to try it out. After creating an account it demanded a phone number. Of course, I will not supply my own, and temporary ones I tried were either recognised as such or rejected has having already been used.

I’m always curious about people. Are you trolling or are you serious. You haven’t heard of ChatGPT before?

I have seen ChatGPT mentioned on Twitter from time to time, but no-one who has done so has ever posted a link (that I have seen).
