This is fun. Will have to watch it when I have time.
Is there a large active genre just now combining ChatGPT wiht deepfakes, to
generate video of whomeever-saying-whatever?
I was thinking a couple of years ago about what direction in big-AI would be
the most distructive, in requiring extra co
I have seen doctors run internet searches in front of me. If a LLM is given
all the medical journals, biology textbooks, and hospital records for training,
that could be a useful resource for society.

When I bought back my company about 25 years ago, the mantra for
programmers was “Google the error message!” Now ChatGPT will write
some of the code for you. The job of programming still requires a lot of
knowledge and experience since using ChatGPT-generated code without
quality checking is fa
Sure, but a doctor doesn’t need to take candidate diagnosis as anything more
than a hypothesis.
In M3gan (which I found to be more of a fun satire than a horror drama), the

Yep, that's the fundamental problem with the "chat" usage pattern. But it's much less of a problem
with other usage patterns. For example, we have a project at UCSF where we're using GPT3.5 to help us with
the embeddings for full text biomedical articles. This produces opportunities for several
It seems to me the "mansplaining" is built into an algorithm that chooses the
most likely response. Choose all responses above probability 0.9 and present
them all to give the user a sense of the uncertainty.

Exactly. We recently started a rough eval of the newer "text-embedding-ada-002" model
versus the older "text-similarity-curie-001" model. The newer model produces a lower
dimensional embedding (1536) than the older (4096), which could imply the older model might provide

On one hand, there needs to be ongoing debate (in training) to reflect actual
uncertainty in responses. One the other hand, humans spew a lot of nonsense,
and a lot of it is just wrong. That leads to the vulnerability to black
hatters. If there is bias in the (peer) review of the input data

It is pre-trained. Just because there is a chat doesn’t mean it considers the
correspondent as providing new evidence.

Right. I mispoke, "training" may not be the right word. But my understanding is
they have humans monitoring at least some of the ChatGPT usage and using it for RL. I
have no idea what the frequency of the feedback is, though. I speculate that it was much

FWIW, if there were a lot of people interested in helping out a little

after we moved up here. It was difficult because they transitioned,
