Just heard a new track from Eddie Vedder so I was curious about his band Pearl Jam, touring and the conflict with TicketMaster. I asked ChatGPT which was helpful, but what was interesting is there are now links to sources which I often do not get in these responses. Linking to the source material is one key different just using Google. Perhaps this is a change which will help drive traffic to websites and address some of the concerns with OpenAI and ChatGPT.
You know those scammy training schools that don't teach actual useful stuff? Like dropshipping and social media management classes? Just saw a gigantic wall advert for "Stay relevant! Learn #AI like #ChatGPT"... :neocat_facepalm:
Normal people using AI: look how stupid this shit is!!
Terence Tao using AI: As an experiment, I asked #ChatGPT to write #Python code to compute, for each 𝑛, the length 𝑀(𝑛) of the longest subsequence of (1,\dots,n) on which the Euler totient function ϕ is non-decreasing. For instance, 𝑀(6)=5, because ϕ is non-decreasing on 1,2,3,4,5 (or 1,2,3,4,6) but not 1,2,3,4,5,6. Interestingly, it was able to produce an extremely clever routine to compute the totient function (that I had to stare at for a few minutes to see why it actually worked), but the code to compute (M(n)) was slightly off: it only considered subsequences of consecutive integers, rather than arbitrary subsequences. Nevertheless it was close enough that I was able to manually produce the code I wanted using the initial GPT-produced code as a starting point, probably saving me about half an hour of work. (and I now have the first 10,000 values of (M)). The results were good enough that I would likely turn to GPT again to provide initial code for similar calculations in the future. chat.openai.com/…/a022e1d6-dddc-4817-8bbd-944a3e7…
Co-Intelligence. Living and Working with AI by Ethan Mollick is worth listening to (or reading). It’s about how the emerging LLMs will be used and how this will lead to good and bad outcomes. The audiobook is 4.5 hours long. Not much more than some of the stupidly long tech podcast people release.
“What's the weather in Belfast, Northern Ireland right now? Tell me in centigrade.”
ChatGPT-4o: Currently, the weather in Belfast, Northern Ireland, is 13°C with light rain and mostly cloudy skies. The humidity is high at 94%, and there is a gentle breeze coming from the northeast at around 8 km/h.
The reason why Altman and OpenAI are moving so fast is that they know - they know - their product is mostly useless.
So, what they're doing is making sure we have no alternative when the media bubble pops.
They're killing off everything else, that's it.
Ultimately, the goal is to have #ChatGPT answer all your questions. And you'll have no way of confirming the answer is correct, because all other search engines will use an LLM to spray you with bullshit as well.
And they'll have source/reference links, which will be pages written by an LLM, possibly on a different subject.
The tech isn't the problem. Sam Altman and the other CEOs are. It's them who decided to sell you a glorified autocomplete as an AI.
The white background logo is the current hex sticker for my TidyDensity #R#package the others were generated from DALL-E #dalle3#gpt#chatgpt pretty cool
Just FYI, if you have older parents or other family members, set up some sort of shibboleth with them so they know what to ask you if you ever call them asking for something. These new generative models are going to be extremely convincing, and the idiots in charge of these companies think they can use guardrails to stop it being used inappropriately. They can't. #genAI#LLMs#chatgpt
This is one of the biggest reasons that I am so anti-AI, at least in its current incarnation. All of its promises to make work/life a little easier for people come at the expense of literally burning the world, and we were already doing far too much of that before these tools were released.
Schrems colpisce ancora: il garante austriaco indaga su chatgpt dopo il reclamo presentato da #NOYB
#ChatGPT è nuovamente sotto la lente di un’autorità di controllo, stavolta quella austriaca, in seguito al reclamo presentato da parte di @noybeu l’associazione di attivisti digitali fondata da @maxschrems
