I love the tongue-in-cheek paradox myth that the Bitcoin whitepaper was written by a future god-AI to increase demand for GPUs (and thus boost supply) so we are able to assemble the future god-AI.

I'd read that book!

Hyperion/The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons has something similar.

I’m hoping GPT will remove the information cutoff date. I write plenty of terraform/AWS and it’s a bit of a pain that the latest API isn’t accessible by GPT yet. There’s been quite a bit happening in the programming space since sept 2021. I use GPT to keep things high level and then do my normal research methodology for implementation details.

I enjoy using GPT4 as a co-programmer, and funny enough it is very challenging to get advice on Microsoft's own .NET MAUI because that framework was in prerelease at the time the model was trained. My understanding is right now they essentially need to train a new model on a new updated corpus to fix this, but maybe some other techniques could be devised...or they'll train something more up to date.

I know it's a joke, but the hole is the god-AI couldn't have been that smart, since cryptocurrency-mining quickly switched to ASICs, which muting the demand increase for GPUs.

But not before ramping up development and production of GPUs.

Did the GPU manufactures ever embrace cryptocurrency? IIRC, they actually tried to discourage it (e.g. by butting throttling into mass market models to discourage their use for computation).

Also, the graphs here show a long-term downward trend, with only a short-term sales blip 5 years ago due to cryptocurrency: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/sales-of-desktop-graphics-....

Really great news to give at cheaper and faster GPT4. As a GPT+ subscriber, the most annoying thing is the 25 message limit every 3 hours, I really want that removed. A bit sad to hear that the multimodal model will only come next year, was hoping to get it this year 100k to 1 Million context length, sounds phenomenal especially if it comes to GPT4. I've used Claudes 100k context length and I found it so useful that…

Did you have any tips on how you got access to Claude? I do the request access but never get any email or any contact.

Watch Tenet.

I'm from the future, traveling backwards in time to tell you to not watch Tenet.

Somehow I'm super sensitive to the audio (or might be video) and start feeling nauseous after a short time. Is there an explanation to this? I think it's that scratchy humming background sound.

Also lots of similar wisdom, from Percival Dunwoody, Idiot Time Traveller from 1909 [0].

> A stateful API

This would be huge for many applications, as "chatting" with GPT-4 gets really, really expensive very quickly. I've played with API with friends, and winced as I watched my usage hit several dollars for just a bit of fun.

yes i also can't wrap my head around how a ceo of a billion dollar company isn't sincere in his public statements

Really? Even after saying this? "While Sam is calling for regulation of future models, he didn’t think existing models were dangerous and thought it would be a big mistake to regulate or ban them."

It was a tongue in cheek reaction.

Well, humans switched from using using brains to store all their memories once they could dump data onto external media via writing. Much like how crypto switching to ASICs frees up GPU capacity for AGI, writing freed the brain to develop higher GI.
