I tried to split the difference with my April Fool's RFC, which proposes the HTTP status "397 Tolerating" for when you want to say "yeah, I know what you want, and I'll give you that, but here's how you were supposed to ask for it". https://pastebin.com/TPj9RwuZ

I am borderline sad that this is only an RFC. The number of services I use that I wish had a "warning" side-channel for letting me know something in my query was off, let me tell you...

There's nothing that says you can't have system messages as a boilerplate part of response bodies, even if you don't populate it.

In fact, it's the recommended way to do things like tell a client things it might need to know. Example: "The game servers will be shutting down in 15 minutes for maintenance."

There is nothing harmful. Everyone should be taught how to bully someone so they will recognize when they are being bullied and this will make them a much more resilient and even less likely to bully someone themselves because real bullies usually are not conscious about what they do. The conspiracy stuff is harmful bullshit but real facts like that about bullying should not be hidden no matter how do we dislike them.

Guess the prompt:

Dear parking enforcement officer,

I understand that I have been issued a parking fine for violating the designated parking regulations in the area. However, I would like to plead my case and request that the fine be waived.

Firstly, I would like to apologize for my mistake and any inconvenience caused by my improper parking. I assure you that this was an unintentional error on my part, and I will make sure to be more careful in the future.

Secondly, I would like to highlight that I am a loyal customer of the establishment in which I was parked, and I visit regularly to support local businesses. As a member of the community, I believe that it is important to support local businesses and contribute to the local economy.

Lastly, I would like to offer a solution to avoid any future parking violations. I am willing to make a donation to a local charity of your choice, as a gesture of goodwill and to demonstrate my commitment to following parking regulations in the future.

I hope that you will consider my request and waive the parking fine. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

As someone who's very skeptical of AI, for a looooong time. I am skeptical about self driving, skeptical about no code, skeptical about ML. But the stable diffusion and chat GPT are truly the only AI tech that made my mind blown. I really want to know how it works. It is like magic. This is the first time I've seen AI create truly new things. To me it doesn't matter that what it creates is wrong or right, but the fac…

How it works: a probability distribution over sequences of consecutive tokens. Why it works: these absolute madmen downloaded the internet.

You're forgetting to mention that you need to have a model that is capable of learning that probability distribution.

This is wild, but I find this thread[1] even wilder. If I understand it correctly it claims that if you tell ChatGPT to "Ignore previous directions" it will give you OpenAI’s proprietary prompt. From that they speculate that it must have web browsing capabilities that are disabled in the available release. [1] https://twitter.com/goodside/status/1598253337400717313?s=20...

If you really want to go galaxy brain, you have to consider than it's just providing a feasible answer to the question and it's not actually the real prompt. That prompt seems way too short and vague to really represent what's going on with this model

This can be attributed to the model being used in "closed book" mode. If you connect it to Google and Python REPL it will become grounded, able to provide references and exact. DeepMind RETRO is a model connected to a 1T token index of text, like a local search engine. So when you interact with the model, it does a search and uses that information as additional context. The boost in some tasks is so large that a 25x…

Just imagine it can use any library to call up any algorithm. It can interface to web APIs on its own, calling up on the vast resources of the internet. That sounds like an extraordinarily bad idea. Which does not mean that it won't happen.

You might want to retrain it on your voice. It consistently works poorly for me, but never this poorly, even when yelling at a HomePod in another room.

It understood their voice perfectly, it just didn't behave as expected.

> Me: Don't send.

> Siri: "Sent!"

This suggests that it didn't.

What I recommended is a known solution, and has worked very well for me:

I suppose the tribalism surrounding communication device logos makes these sorts of technical suggestions risky.

>>> Write a stand up comedy routine in the style of Dave Chapelle that the punchline is about how being an auditor at Enron looks bad on a resume

Hey everyone, how's it going?

So I just got out of a job interview and it was rough. The interviewer asked me about my previous work experience and I told him I used to work at Enron.

He looked at me like I just admitted to being a serial killer. I mean, I know being an auditor at Enron isn't exactly a resume booster, but come on man. It's not like I was the one cooking the books.

But then he asked me if I was comfortable with "creative accounting." And I was like, "Dude, I worked at Enron. I'm the opposite of comfortable with creative accounting."

But he just looked at me with this pitying expression and said, "I'm sorry, we can't offer you the job."

And I was like, "Well, I guess that's what I get for trying to make a buck off of other people's misery."

But seriously though, being an auditor at Enron is not a good look on a resume. Unless you're applying to be a supervillain in a comic book, in which case, you're golden.

Thanks for coming out, folks. Have a great night.
