I would say it’s more like it reads it and writes it down and has access to all of that when answering questions. But you’re correct, if it is solving novel questions, then I totally agree. I havent seen that myself yet but have not looked into it that closely. Do you have examples of it solving novel questions? I’d love to see that.

You mean like your long-term memory? To be clear, GPT doesn’t have the raw training information available for reference. In a sense, it read it during training, extracted the useful information, and is now using it.

If it’s answering totally novel reasoning questions, that’s a pretty clear indication that it’s gone beyond just modeling syntax and grammar.

Nah, I got a pretty good Union and my company is pretty generous anyway (free health insurance, unlimited sick days, optional Friday “work from home”days, performance based bonuses, etc.)

I know this isn’t necessarily the case for everyone tho.

AI arms race, which is 100% about money and greed. Morality and ethics slow things down. Regulations slow things down. Wall Street and investors are watching for a prospective winner to bet big on. Tech is stale, old news. They need the next big win.

AI domination is going to be "first past the post" and all these companies know it. We're going to hear all kinds of BS about how they're trying to be ethical/etc but they really want to be first and snap up lucrative deals with their protected IP. What was open will stop being open very quickly once a public tech demo like this gets attention, and be strictly protected for that reason.

That's such a weird way of putting it.

I think more Americans realize how post-democracy we are than you think.

And our "authoritarian workplaces" are a shitty example. How about the fact that our government just took away abortion rights that almost everybody wants, that climate change is ignored despite the majority wanting it addressed, or the fact that large companies get to dump waste, steal wages, predate on lenders, and rig prices with impunity?

FFS everybody stop making fascism about PERSONAL FAILINGS of such and such a population. The rise and fall of authoritarianism is a force of history, and we have to fight it for what it is, not what makes it easy for us to pigeonhole and redirect so we don't feel any personal responsibility to act.
