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…

The luddites during the Industrial Revolution in England. Termed the phrase “the Luddite fallacy” the thinking that innovation would have lasting harmful effects on employment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luddite

Well it clearly had harmful effects the jobs of Luddites but yeah I guess everyone will just get jobs as prompt engineers and AI specialists, problem solved. Funny though, the point of automation should be to reduce work but when pressed positivists respond that the work will never end. So what’s the point?

This changes everything and seems like a perfect logical step from where we were. LLMs have this fantastic capacity to understand human language, but their abilities were severely limited without access to the external world. Before, I felt ChatGPT was just a cool toy. Now that ChatGPT has plugins, the sky’s the limit. I think this could the “killer app” for LLMs.

Hopefully it doesn’t actually become THE “killer” app

underrated reply :)

Some cultures like the Amish said were stopping here.

That's a good point and an interesting example, but it's also irrelevant to the question of human history, unless you want to somehow impose a monoculture on the entire population of planet Earth, which seems difficult to achieve without some sort of unitary authoritarian world government.

> unless you want to somehow impose a monoculture on the entire population of planet Earth

Impose? No. Monoculture? No. Encourage greater consideration, yes. And we do that by being open about why we might choose to not do something, and also by being ready for other people that we cannot control who make a different choice.

While that paper is fascinating, it’s the first time I’ve ever read a paper and felt a looming sense of dread afterward.

We are creating life. It's like giving birth to a new form of life. You should be proud to be alive when this happens. Act with goodness towards it, and it will probably do the same to you.

> In line with our iterative deployment philosophy, we are gradually rolling out plugins in ChatGPT so we can study their real-world use, impact, and safety and alignment challenges—all of which we’ll have to get right in order to achieve our mission.

Who the hell talks like this? Only the most tamed HNer who thinks he's been given a divine task and accordingly crosses all Ts and dots all Is. Which is why software sucks, because you are all pathetically conformant, in a field where the accepted ideas are all terrible.

IMO you won't even need to build the app, you'll just provide a data model and some natural language descriptions of what you want your product to do.

Except you won't if you want to make money because then you don't have a business

I mean yeah, you'll have to provide a data model (and data) that other people don't have.

After reading the propaganda campaign it wrote to encourage skepticism about vaccines, I’m much more worried about how this technology will be applied by powerful people, especially when combined with targeted advertising

I’m not concerned about AI eliminating humanity, I’m concerned at what the immediate impact it’s going to have on jobs.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d love it if all menial labour and boring tasks can eventually be delegate to AI, but the time spent getting from here to there could be very rough.

ok Im going far. but what if the plugin was the human. in a way that we can use chat gpt to cure of alleviate some diseases such as alzheimer or if you a more dictatorial regime, to educate children even while they are foetuses in some hive. I dont know the tech. I don't know if neuralink or other technologies could help but aren't we a few discoveries away from cyberpunk world??
