AI hypes every twenty years. Instead of moving goalposts, let's accept that each one succeeded at mechanizing intelligence. Including boolean algebra, writing and arithmetic.
I seem to have forgotten that locust cycle.

That's why I think open source LLMs are the ones that will actually persist throughout the commercial enshittification and reign supreme at the end.
I'm more interested in Open Source/Local LLM's ability to consume private data as an internal knowledgeable. For example, feed in your entire source repo(s) and then ask it questions about where something is or how it works.

Although let's see if it is sustainable. I pay for ChatGPT Plus but most people aren't, and from what I've read they're losing money like crazy. We may wind up seeing this as the technical high point before the various competitors cut back on expensive hardware/energy usage for the free tier, and the quality of the responses takes a dive. This might sound a bit conspiratorial so apologies for that but back when the c…

> I'd like to have LawGPT I tried ChatGPT 4 for a specific TX county's laws. This was after I had spent hours doing traditional search. ChatGPT got everything correct, and even gave me some more direction.
> ChatGPT got everything correct My anecdote with technical information is exactly the opposite, unfortunately. I routinely use it to help guide my research - generally about topics I know something about but want to know more. It often will provide some response that is entirely wrong but looks very good. When called out, it apologizes, then proceeds to produce more information that's also not entirely correct. Ther…
But on programming language and other logical question areas it does not matter much, as you can verify with logic if something is correct, and then it is incredible useful

I'm actually worried of the inevitable enshitification of Open AI. Right now, GPT 4 is great and I use it every day. I rely less and less on Google and save a ton of time. Google has gone downhill hard for a few years, thanks to all these silly blog engines like medium, substack and the like. I'm really worried and would like to 'freeze' GPT 4 as is, at least with the data up to Sep 2021, and for them to not change o…
This is a good point and I'm surprised it hasn't had more attention. We've seen history repeat itself enough times that it's inevitable. Probably the best you can do is download a few of the full precision 70B or bigger models (LLaMA etc) to at least have some state of the art weights around you could use yourself if you wanted if/when openAI goes to shit. The nice thing about the language models is as least they're…
That's something I haven't thought about for a long time. How big is the Google index, would you say? Petabytes or exabytes, or am I vastly overestimating?

Bing chat uses DALL-E for image generation. The results were complete gibberish. Characters that looked like an alien alphabet and the graphic was also so abstract to not represent anything.
Generative image systems are notoriously poor at producing legible text without significant rerolls. You'd be far better off generating a textless logo and then layering text afterwards using PS, Photopea, Krita, etc,

Source? Random tweets don't count.
> They're legitimately bad today (Siri in particular, but even Google Assistant is much worse than itself from back then)
Your anecdote. My anecdote is Siri doesn't change, but our expectation becomes much, much higher. Siri blew everyone's mind by... making a phone call to nearby Starbucks. When it came out that phone call was a super big deal.

It’s sustainable. Llama.cpp is orders of magnitude more efficient than Llama because it’s in Rust. OpenAI hasn’t even touched low level languages yet.
