@willknight Quit reading when I saw this. Seriously? His source was a Substack article that submitted an IQ test that consists of just the things a LLM is good at - text pattern matching. https://davidrozado.substack.com/p/what-is-the-iq-of-chatgpt

@philipncohen Soon you'll be able to use generative AI to create any kind of family you want. Very concerned about the future of this family.

@ct_bergstrom I long for the days when many of the SV CEOs I worked for were just narcissistic bullies instead of today's raging sociopaths.

Sometimes it was mildly amusing - one dude (TJ Rodgers) use to do 100 push ups in the front lobby at lunch time.

@glennf The Times is still pushing that "[former] intellectual leader of the GOP" BS? I know that's a low bar, but the guy is the embodiment of a corporate flack who uninformed people think is smart.

@Riedl More bland replies but automated! Just what Slack needs.

@ct_bergstrom Its ruined ducks for me.

@ct_bergstrom A lot more hair, though.

Interesting article on a possible theory for effective LLM prompt generation (h/t Andrej Karpathy) https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/D7PumeYTDPfBTp3i7/the-waluigi-effect-mega-post

@stephaniemlee Advertisers just loving new Twitter.

Christofascist response to Elon after today's Twitter meltdown.

@timbray Wonder if it's related to the Twitter meltdown today.

@paul And the iOS app as well. Peak Elon genius management at work here.

@ct_bergstrom Lots of projects like this popping up now that might work better than Bing, but put more demands on users (downloading papers).

Plan to try it out myself over the next few days but our furnace is malfunctioning so I have other priorities...

@glennf Rigorous testing by the company that Goldman is shilling for.

@tao I hope you're using the "pro" version of DeepL for your letters of reference. Their privacy policy states that if you use the free version the data is temporarily stored and used to train their model.

@kristinmbranson That's really interesting, though a bit traumatizing since it reminds me of the odorous ants that have been plaguing us for the last few weeks.

How large a model are you using?
