*models* are heavily engineered. TANSTAAFL. They are as engineered, to intentional
purpose, as a Boeing 777. We have this tendency to think that because these boxes are

It’s funny. I was reading some commentary on this last week (can’t even
remember where now; that was _last week_!), and I remember thinking that the

I've recently developed a taste for judging people by the content of their character, something I used to and
kindasorta still do denigrate as hubris (because our models of others' character are models, always wrong,
rarely useful). And one of the best measures of character is how someone respon
I read that Bing won’t write a cover letter if asked. I love the idea of a set
of files sitting on a filesystem at Microsoft that represent human ethics. It
reminds me of people that complain about being characterized by their skill
sets. I think we are going to learn just how little we are.

Rather than posit that these models don't have semantics, I'd posit
*we* don't have semantics.
The problem with communication is the illusion that it exists.
I don't think I know what you mean by these statements?

Ha! It's cool you used the phrase "a set of files". What does "file" mean? I mean, hell, we can't

I don't know what Bing uses for storage, or how it relates to OpenAI's added
codebase. There are older references to use of TensorFlow at OpenAI, but
things may have changed. The "file" would likely be the serialization of the
(distributed) tensors of the ChatGPT model. One possible way st

Dear David and other helpful persons,
Thanks again for your help here. Man! Do I look forward to your definitive
work on experience! All this cogitation is exhausting me.
