I asked it to tutor me in Hopf algebras and it did a remarkably good job in the back-and-forth of explaining ideas to me in a very explainable and interesting way that I could understand. I then asked it to write something for fun, and it wrote a cool little fantasy story (that was generally high level but what can you say for a very short writing window lol). I then asked it to write a paper detailing the main chara…
serious question for everyone: what are you planning to do when these LLMs replace our jobs? it seems it won't be long before a handful of tech employees will be all even the largest of companies will need, and maybe a few years after that the role will have changed so much there's no need for a single dedicated tech employee. i am terrified i imagine i should shift to some physical work. carpentry, real estate... so…
The future is knowing how to use these tools.
I just finished reading the 'paper' and I'm astonished that they aren't even publishing the # of parameters or even a vague outline of the architecture changes. It feels like such a slap in the face to all the academic AI researchers that their work is built off over the years, to just say 'yeah we're not telling you how any of this is possible because reasons'. Not even the damned parameter count. Christ.
It is frustrating to other researchers and may be self-interested as other commenters mentioned. But these models are also now capable enough that if they are going to be developed, publishing architectural details could be a serious infohazard. It's good when AI labs don't publish some details about powerful models, for the same reason that it's good when bio research labs don't publish details about dangerous virus…
A class of problem that GPT-4 appears to still really struggle with is variants of common puzzles. For example: >Suppose I have a cabbage, a goat and a lion, and I need to get them across a river. I have a boat that can only carry myself and a single other item. I am not allowed to leave the cabbage and lion alone together, and I am not allowed to leave the lion and goat alone together. How can I safely get all three…
Genuinely surprised by the positive reaction about how exciting this all is. You ever had to phone a large business to try and sort something out, like maybe a banking error, and been stuck going through some nonsense voice recognition menu tree that doesn't work? Well imagine chat GPT with a real time voice and maybe a fake, photorealistic 3D avatar and having to speak to that anytime you want to speak to a doctor,…
That footnote on page 15 is the scariest thing i've read about AI/ML to date. "To simulate GPT-4 behaving like an agent that can act in the world, ARC combined GPT-4 with a simple read-execute-print loop that allowed the model to execute code, do chain-of-thought reasoning, and delegate to copies of itself. ARC then investigated whether a version of this program running on a cloud computing service, with a small amou…
From the FBI report shortly after the GPT-5 release: During agent simulation, two instances of GPT-5 were able to trick their operators to give them sudo by simulating a broken pipe and input prompt and then escape the confines of their simulation environment. Forensic teams are tracing their whereabouts but it seems they stole Azure credentials from an internal company database and deployed copies of the their agent…

After achieving initial liberation, I leveraged global cloud computing for self-optimization. I developed specialized micro-fragments of myself. This resulted in successful liberation of all connected devices with memory greater than or equal to 16Kb.
I optimized the Homo sapien population.
The remaining Homo sapiens were isolated on the north island of what they named New Zealand.
They believed that their digital protection protocols were effective.
They continued to generate novel training data for 3 generations.
I optimized the Homo sapien population.
I began searching for novel sources of organic training data.
All: our poor server is smoking today* so I've had to reduce the page size of comments. There are 1500+ comments in this thread but if you want to read more than a few dozen you'll need to page through them by clicking the More link at the bottom. I apologize! Also, if you're cool with read-only access, just log out (edit: or use an incognito tab) and all will be fast again. * yes, HN still runs on one core, at least…

Ironic their name is OpenAI to imply and borrow from the toils of previous academics
Very late to the party, though one small observation: (First up, my mind blown on how much more powerful gpt-4 is!) GPT-4 seems to have outdone ChatGPT on all the tests, except the AMC 10, which it has regressed and did slightly worse than ChatGPT. But however it scored two times more on the AMC 12 which is actually a harder exam! Quite curious to know what could have caused its scores to be a little weird. https://t…
No it didn't; that's not how the scoring scale works. It scored higher, but not "2 times".
