A rogue AI with real-time access to sensitive data wreaks havoc on global financial markets, causing panic and chaos. It's just not hard to see it's going to happen. Like faster car must ended up someone get a horrible crash. But it's our responsibility to envision such grim possibilities and take necessary precautions to ensure a safe and beneficial AI-driven future. Until we're ready, let's prepare for the crash >~…

It has already happened. The 2010 Flash Crash has been largely blamed on other things, rightly or wrongly, but it seems accepted that unfettered HFT was involved. HFT is relatively easy to detect and regulate. Now try it with 100k traders all taking their cues from AI based on the same basic input (after those traders who refuse to use AI have been competed out of the market.)

Does this functionality provide more than one can build with the GPT-4 API? Could I get the same by just making my prompt "You are a computer and can run the following tools to help you answer the users question: run_python('program'), google_search('query')". Other people have done this already, for example [1] [1]: https://vgel.me/posts/tools-not-needed/

Currently they have a special model called "Plugins" which is presumably tuned for tool use. I guess they have extended ChatML to support plugins (e.g., `use_plugin` or something to signal intent to use a plugin) and trained the model on interactions consisting of tool use.

I'm interested to see if this tuned model will become available via the API, as well as the specific tokenization ChatGPT is using for the plugin prompts. If they have tuned the model towards a specific way to use tools, there's no need to waste time with our own prompt engineering like "say %search followed by the keywords and nothing else."

A couple (wow, only 5!) months ago, I wrote up this long screed[1] about how OpenAI had completely missed the generative AI art wave because they hadn't iterated on DALL-E 2 after launch. It also got a lot of upvotes which I was pretty happy about at the time :) Never have I been more wrong. It's clear to me now that they simply didn't even care about the astounding leap forward that was generative AI art and were in…

Then again, the new DALL-E model just released in Bing Chat is really good.

Disclosure: I work at Microsoft.

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.

OpenAI is basically asking to get hacked at this point...

How it's gonna get hacked? Most likely it's just use Azure compute instances and model control them via ssh or API.

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..."

>"today it somehow executed several hundred thousand threads of a python script that made perfectly timed trades at 8:31AM on the NYSE which resulted in the largest single day drop since 1987..." this is hyperbolic nonsense/fantasy

Not really. More behind the curve (noting stock exchanges introduced 'circuit breakers' many years ago to stop computer algorithms disrupting the market).

> The faster we build the future, the better. Why? Getting to "the future" isn't a goal in and of itself. It's just a different state with a different set of problems, some of which we've proven that we're not prepared to anticipate or respond to before they cause serious harm.

When in human history have we ever intentionally not furthered technological progress? It's simply an unrealistic proposition, especially when the costs of doing it are so low that anyone with sufficient GPU power and knowledge of the latest research can get pretty close to the cutting edge. So the best we can hope for is that someone ethical is the first to advance that technological progress. I hope you wouldn't ad…

If you live in SF and have gone out to casual bars or restaurants, you meet/hear people talking about ChatGPT. In particular, I've been hearing a lot of people talking about their startups being "a UI using ChatGPT under the hood to help you with X". But I'm starting to get the feeling that OpenAI will eat their lunches. It's tried and true and it worked for Amazon. If OpenAI becomes the AI platform of choice, I wond…

The Bill Gates "A platform is when the economic value of everybody that uses it, exceeds the value of the company that creates it. Then it's a platform.” line seems apt - i'm sure they'll figure it out

I realise you’re being facetious but this is what will happen regardless. Sam as much as said in that ABC interview the other day he doesn’t know how safe it is but if they don’t build it first someone else somewhere else will and is that really what you want!?

>if they don’t build it first someone else somewhere else will and is that really what you want!? Most likely the runner-up would be open source so yes.

Why would the runner-up be open source and not Google or Facebook? Or Alibaba? Open source doesn’t necessarily result in faster development or more-funded development.

Pshhh... I think it's awesome. The faster we build the future, the better. What annoys me is this is just further evidence that their "AI Safety" is nothing but lip-service, when they're clearly moving fast and breaking things. Just the other day they had a bug where you could see the chat history of other users! (Which, btw, they're now claiming in a modal on login was due to a "bug in an open source library" - anyo…

"The faster we build nuclear weapons, the better"

https://www.worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/9789812709189_00...

Again, two years later, in an interview with Time Magazine, February, 1948, Oppenheimer stated, “In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.” When asked why he and other physicists would then have worked on such a terrible weapon, he confessed that it was “too sweet a problem to pass up”…
