@ct_bergstrom So good that a third ski is just waiting to protect your fractured tibia!
@ct_bergstrom Yeah, that joke didn't really work, did it? "I aim at the stars (but sometimes I hit London)"
@ct_bergstrom Both ChatGPT and GPT-4 compensate for Google by underestimating the Rosy Wolf Snail by 1 or 2 orders of magnitude. But the geometric mean is pretty close to the right answer!
This is proof that they're talking and AGI is here. Cross posting on Twitter now.

If you're into astronomy, this is just so wild - a black hole ejected from a galaxy created a 200,000 light-year long trail (larger than our own galaxy) of new stars. https://hubblesite.org/contents/news-releases/2023/news-2023-010
@freakonometrics The real headline - I asked ChatGPT to code a handlful of specific code snippets - isn't quite as clickbaity.

@Popehat Note that the student petition didn't even bother to mention two of the most common PTSD categories: motor vehicle accidents and traumatic injury/illness/death of a loved one.
The fact that ChatGPT is still just straight up making up information about *people* and even including fake citations just blows my mind. The defamation suits are already starting (https://www.reuters.com/technology/australian-mayor-readies-worlds-first-defamation-lawsuit-over-chatgpt-content-2023-04-05/) and it's not like there's a Section 230 for LLMs. I guess this was optimistic of me but I totally expected a "band-aid" fix by now, like "I'm sorry, but as a large language model I am incapable of providing references." Two more recent examples I saw in thread:
@ct_bergstrom Just trust the companies! That's the kind of ethics advice you get from one of leading figures in the field.
The guy's becoming the Elon of AI research.
@jetjocko Just substitute "nuclear weapons" for AI in that screenshot. Remarkable how arrogant some of these folks are.
@jeffjarvis Shocking that a bunch of narcissistic SV bros would assume that a "conscious" AI is going to be just like, well, them.
