Can't explain it yet. Will have to think the next 17 years about it.

In the meantime, I use uBlock and this custom filter rule to make plain again whatever web designers create or become:

com,org,net,edu,info,ai,io,google,de,at,uk##body,p,li,.text,.commtext,div.u-gap-small:style(font-size:16px !important; font-family:sans-serif !important; font-weight:400 !important; line-height:23px !important)

>I really can’t see why anybody would spend their money on a filtered product if an unfiltered option exists.

Vendor filtered is worse than unfiltered. However, unfiltered is also worse than personal filtered.

...where the leaker also has internal information about a waitinglist ;-)

Species-appropriate husbandry.

Because AI is a successor of the human mind and not the biological human body.

For 3. and 4., AI has to circumvent the robotics roadblock first. Spitting out symbols is easy. Handling real-world physics is hard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec's_paradox

Why is Mr. Altman going to Washington?

• Because Microsoft told him to go and lobby

• Because lawmakers told him to come and explain

>It's something else.

Yes, and it's called the passing of time. Google 2004 ≠ Google 2023.

If the output from the first generation AI which becomes the input to the second generation AI is considered illegal, then the output from the second generation AI may be considered illegal as well.

>Microsoft will be entitled to 75% of OpenAI’s profits until it earns back the $13 billion it has invested—a figure that includes an earlier $2 billion investment in OpenAI that had not been previously disclosed until Fortune reported it in January.

This implies that until the singularity has happened, Ray "we" Kurzweil is able to predict the future!

Wow! I am not able to predict the future. This Ray Kurzweil guy must be a great prophet, then. I better listen carefully what he has to say and buy his books because ... well, he knows the future!

>If it makes it correctly, it will update its parameters to reinforce its confidence

Nonsense. If it makes it correctly, the loss will be zero and the parameters are allowed to remain as they are. Only if it makes a mistake, the loss will be non-zero and change the parameters as it propagates backward through the network.

>The AI team does not like the general public

Maybe someone should tell the AI team that paid finetuners cost money.

Guess they already know that chatbots without massive RLHF can be toxic.

Seems that OpenAI has successfully utilized one million unpaid beta testers for the job.

Because the state of the fuse changes less frequently than the state of the switch.

Does count re-defining "multi-modal" as being more than just (video, text, image, audio) as one breakthrough?

Once again, the Giga-Parameter Terminator says: "Hasta la vista, baby!"

And I thought that "The machines gonna kill us all! We must stop machine learning research!" has been replaced by "The machines will get conscious and suffer! We must stop machine learning research!"

There will be no GPT-4. Microsoft did not pay OpenAI one billion dollar without a reason. The next GPT will be called GPT 2000™.

AFAIK, the lawyers will only shut it down if it doesn't explicitly declare paid ads as such. As long as they don't integrate ads into ChatGPT itself but only show them in the user interface, they should be OK. Of course, there is still the copyright issue if it outputs information from publishers without directing users to their websites.

>A hashing-based system

I guess you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptual_hashing and not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

Without a prefix most people will assume cryptographic, for example Reddit user u/hjmb.

Is already known how well it can handle online/lifelong/curriculum learning and avoid catastrophic forgetting, compared to backprop? I've googled but no result.

>You are probably joking about the EEG waves, aren’t you?

Of course I was joking, because https://www.izhikevich.org/human_brain_simulation/Blue_Brain.htm#Simulation%20of%20Large-Scale%20Brain%20Models mentions only alpha and gamma rhythms, but not beta and theta.

>I mentioned the Synchron interface to show that motor activity of the body can be replaced by a simulated motor activity. Meaning the physical body can be simulated if needed for the development of human brain. Since that was what you were talking about.

The human body is not just the output of ~200 motors and input of their corresponding joint angles and forces (proprioception). It is also the input of ~1M touch sensors from the skin. This input would have to be simulated as well. As much touch information in childhood comes from social interaction with the mother, you would have to simulate her, too. This may be possible in theory, but at the moment, neither a simulated mother for a simulated baby nor a real robot baby with full body touch sensitive skin for a real mother is possible. My personal experience with the MuJoCo simulator in 2016 had shown me that it is so buggy, it can't even simulate some nuts and bolts correctly. If it even fails at such a simple mechanical rigid object physics task, how could it simulate deformable skin or a virtual mother?

And how is tested whether these simulations really do what the corresponding part of the brain does?

By some argumentation in the form of: "Brains have oscillations in the alpha, beta, and theta range. My model has oscillations in the alpha, beta, and theta range, too! So I have built a brain. Where is my Nobel prize?" (Or the equivalent with pieces of dead rat cortex' firing patterns and one billion euros.)

> The Synchron Stentrode interface

An interface to the real thing is not a replacement.

>I am pretty sure that a mind without a body could easily exist as long as you provide it with a virtual “anchor” to its perception of self.

What does "exist" mean?

• Start to exist, from scratch, as in a human-made machine with ramdomly initialized weights, or

• Continue to exist, as in Stephen Hawking, who got ALS at the age of 26 and had a healthy body before?

And yes, of course can minds exist without a human body. But how well can those minds simulate a human mind, which is what Wikipedia's definition requires from AGI, without having been formed by a human-like body, physical environment, and human education?

Genetics creates the body. The body includes a brain. The brain learns the mind. Everything that enters the mind has to go through the body (except some hardwired pattern generators in early childhood which are used to guide wiring and speed up learning).

Every environmental influence, and every powerful dataset of knowledge, culture, technology, art and language is curated by that single individual's body.

For me, creation and curation are the same.

For you, curation is less powerful.
