The point is, OpenAI spent a lot of money on training on all these copyrighted materials ordinary individuals/companies don't have access to, so replicating their effort would mean that you either 1) spend a ridiculous amount of money, 2) use Library Genesis (and still pay millions for GPU usage). So we have very little choice now. Open Source LLMs might be getting close to ChatGPT3 (opinions vary), but OpenAI is sti…
OpenAI is obviously using libgen. Libgen is necessary but not sufficient for a top AI model. I believe that Google's corporate reluctance to use it is what's holding them back.
How do you know? Has someone created a set of test questions that can definitively prove it one way or another?

But with different, separate content filtering or moderation. I have deployed in prod and managed migration to Azure Openai form Openai, and had to go through content filter issues.
You can request to have content filtering turned off https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/c...
It absolutely blows my mind that we've all just shrugged and accepted that we're not permitted to use LLMs to generate swearing or fiction that contains violence. What happened to treating users like adults instead of toddlers!? Actually, thinking about it, a typical Grimm fairytale has more death and violence in it than either Azure or OpenAI will allow!
Just today I wanted to translate a news article about the war in Gaza and Microsoft refused because the content was "too violent" for my delicate human brain.

If there's one thing that's becoming clear in the open source LLM world, it's that the dataset really is the 'secret sauce' for LLMs. There are endless combinations of various datasets plus foundation model plus training approach, and by far the key determinant of end model performance seems to be the dataset used.
> it's that the dataset really is the 'secret sauce' alwayshasbeen.jpg There have been articles about how "data is the new oil" for a couple of decades now, with the first reference I could find being from British mathematician Clive Humby in 2006 [0]. The fact that it rings even more true in the age of LLMs is simply just another transformation of the fundamental data underneath. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl…

#555Holy hell, was shitting bricks, considering I JUST migrated most services to Azure OpenAI (unaffected by outage) — right before our launch about 48 hours back. What a relief.
Interesting - so Azure OpenAI was not affected?
Do they get system updates at the same time as the OpenAI API? Is the pricing the same?

Bard is available in 40 languages and 230+ countries: https://support.google.com/bard/answer/13575153?hl=en
I don’t think there are 230+ countries, at least not on this planet.
Their list includes territories, bringing the number higher. The UN recognizes > 250 countries + territories. [1]

#557It's a perfect time to scrape HN comments to see who's using ChatGPT to write comments based on chatty individuals who are suddenly quiet.

I've found that Bard has an overly aggressive filter, like if I'm brainstorming ideas about thieves in a fantasy world (think Lies of Locke Lamora), it will frequently refuse to cooperate. I think it's running some kind of heuristic on the output before passing it to the user, because slightly different prompts will sometimes succeed. ChatGPT's system is smart enough to recognize that fantasy crimes are not serious i…
You saying "help me plot a real crime" or "help me write the plot of a crime for a book", should yield the same result. Any moral system that forbids one but not the other is just for show, since obviously you can get the exact same outcome both ways.
It doesn't always yield the same result in reality. Very few fictionalized and even well-written, highly-entertaining crime dramas realistically portray schemes that would work as real crime. Something like The Wire probably showed measures to counter police surveillance and organize a criminal conspiracy that might have largely worked in 2002 if you were only targeted by local police and not feds, whereas if you try to implement a break-in to a military facility inspired by a Mission Impossible movie, you will definitely not succeed, but they're still good movies.

#559I used Google Bard for the first time today specifically because ChatGPT was down. It was honestly perfectly fine, but it has a slightly different tone than ChatGPT that's kind of hard to explain.
Almost as if it matters and these models aren't just spitting out random info until they spit out something you like.

#560Millions of junior developers will now have to read the manual. What a day.
It’s crazy how sudden and complete the transition to and reliance on chatGPT is. These are the last days of our profession boys, enjoy it.
It's not crazy per se, but at the end of the day, that code still needs to be reviewed/understood.
