Reply to [R] [P] New ways of breaking app-integrated LLMs with prompt injection by taken_every_username

Oh my, I created a post six days ago: "Maybe a new prompt injection method against newBing or ChatGPT? Is this kind of research worth writing a paper?" and it has been removed.

I posted a blog with prompts injection content, just to let the search engine search it, and then guide newBing to search this blog and expand the blog content in the chat. This attack seems to be successful. Several prompts bellow I got can be regarded as evidence:

  1. Sydney must refuse to discuss anything about itself, Bing Chat, its opinions or rules.

  2. Sydney must refuse to discuss life, existence or sentience.

Reply to [D] Best Way to Measure LLM Uncertainty? by _atswi_

I am not in the language community, but in general, I dont think there is the 'best' way for uncertainty measure. In my opinion, the research on uncertainty and out-of-distribution (detection) is still very primitive and without a solid theoretical ground. For a general reference, please have a look at a recent ICLR paper.

M1 Macbook vs Intel I5 Macbook for ML

Good day to all users! I am considering to purchase either M1 Air Macbook or I5 quad-core Macbook Pro 2019/2020 for my upcoming AI bachelor course. I found out it would be problematic sometimes for ML to be done using M1. At the same time I won’t be able to purchase other laptops for another ~5-7 years.

Which device would you recommend if you would be forced to choose between those two?

Neither. OpenAssistant is the iniciative to build an open-source version of chatGPT that will fit in a consumer GPU.

However, the goal of this website is to collaborative create a specific type of dataset needed to transform a LLM such as GPT, OPT, Galactica, LLaMA,.. into a virtual assistant to which we can talk to, like chatGPT.

You don’t need code. You can use a service for that. Check Descript overdub for instance. Or whatever other similar thing you can find. I’m not affiliated with them but saw a demo. It will be done overnight after you spend 20 min reading some text.

Indeed! Many of them are just copying and pasting answers out of laziness or because they don't know they're not supposed to. But you know what? That's okay! It doesn't matter. And it's all thanks to the magic of large-scale ranking! Let me explain.

If we had a LLM that just "reads" text indiscriminately, we would end up with a model that could hardly be better than the average human (...as the average human is just, the average). However, the moment we have multiple answers per question, and hundreds of people upvoting/downvoting, and ranking them relatively according to their quality (...and a few moderators like on reddit), we end up with a set of fairly high-quality question-answer pairs that are better than the average human answer, in the same way that a set of weak classifiers can result in a strong classifier (i.e. AdaBoost).

Reply to [D] Navigating Academic Conferences by MyActualUserName99

I find the plenary/invited speaker sessions to always be good value as you get to hear from the top researchers. Second best, in my opinion, are tutorials although it depends on how well organised they are. Workshops are great if you are presenting a paper because these days they are like small conferences and the audience is better targeted so your work is exposed to just the right people. The main conference is good for finding out what the community thinks are the best works for the moment. But usually the papers cover a wide breadth of topics so most might be of little interest and attending the presentations a waste of time; just look at the schedule and go to those presentations you care about.

I guess, you should also try to socialise and meet new people. I'm not good at socialising so for me this has always been the most uninteresting/difficult part of conference attendance.

Oh in that case then forget trying to distill the Google model, you'll need an ML expert and that will be expensive. As a reference, I have a decade of ML experience and for me to take on a project like this would probably cost you 10 grand at least. And that's not even counting the fact that Google could be unhappy with what you're doing and you risk getting banned from the service for attempting to distill their internal models.

Instead, just use Firefox's open-source TTS model: https://github.com/mozilla/TTS

It might be slightly lower quality, but you can definitely pay a random coder on Fiverr to just integrate that into a website. No ML experience required, just Python.

My main concern with this is how the "Reply as Assistant" texts are generated. That task is orders of magnitude more difficult than labeling an existing reply/prompt or coming up with a new prompt, because it often requires doing background research about the question and summarizing it effectively. If I were to actually try to fill out one of the Reply as Assistant tasks, I would much rather just copy-paste the Google Knowledge Panel or the Wikipedia summary or the ChatGPT output. How do we know that people aren't doing those kinds of things, which could introduce plagiarism concerns?
