But people want to believe SO HARD that AGI is nigh.
Remember: If #GPT4 or #ChatGPT or #Bing or #Bard generated some strings that make sense, that's because you made sense of them.

2. The Rise Of Negative Media
Since 2010, the media massively increased headlines that use fear, anger, disgust, and sadness.
It's no surprise the media isn't covering this 😅

For this reason, GPT's understanding should be tested on questions whose answer is "NO, it is not possible under any circumstances". Such questions are the core of causal logic. e.g., can a drug be good for men, good for women and bad for people? https://twitter.com/yudapearl/status/1640075242470277120

Here's a glitch/bug/massive-fucking-privacy-risk associated with the new #Bing #chatbot feature that I haven't seen documented.
Answers from one query bleed over into another.
Earlier today I asked it about the black power salute that Tommie Smith and John Carlos gave at the 1968 Olympic Games.
Tonight I asked it about headlines referencing chatbot halluncinations.
Look what it did. It returned an utterly irrelevant answer to a previous query.
Amazing this is production technology.

GPT4 can speak fluently, so maybe it's mastered language in that sense--but to manipulate us it'd need to measure the impact its words have on us, and it cannot. Donald Trump could see what his words do to his crowds of supporters, what actions they took because of his speeches.

data: we're already training LLMs now on most human written text, so how do we keep increasing this finite supply? Even if we could, how do we know AI capabilities will continue exponentially and not plateau? We don't. They might, they might not: it's an assumption, not a fact.

Next point I LOVE: "Drug companies cannot sell people new medicines without first subjecting their products to rigorous safety checks. Biotech labs cannot release new viruses into the public sphere in order to impress shareholders with their wizardry. Likewise, A.I. systems ..."

When I see that X% percent of "AI experts" believe there's a Y% chance AI will kill us all, sorry but my reaction is yeah that's what they want us to think so we are in awe of their godlike power and trust them to save us. It's not science.

The most depressing thing about GPT-4 has nothing at all to do with the tech. It’s realising how many humans already believe they are merely a machine for generating valuable word tokens

Zaporizhzhia. Right now, residential areas where ordinary people and children live are being fired at.
This must not become "just another day" in 🇺🇦 or anywhere else in the world. The world needs greater unity and determination to defeat Russian terror faster and protect lives.

Apropos #openai refusing to disclose any information about the training data for #GPT4 and #Google being similarly cagey about #Bard...

@SigalSamuel@twitter.com Well, it's not really about slowing down AI, is it? I think it is much more about quality of delivery. It is about studying the implications before delivering the product. But companies are notoriously bad at this. Other social organizations exist for this purpose
@boris_steipe here's another example: ChatGPT got me confused about my family. It's in the counting and the greats that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rote_learning fails. See below:
mapto:
Polihron is the grandfather of Rusko. Rusko has a grandson who is also called Rusko. This child is my grandfather. What is my relationship to Polihron?
ChatGPT:
If Rusko (the grandson) is your grandfather, then Polihron must be your great-great-grandfather.
Here is the reasoning:
Polihron is the grandfather of Rusko (the first generation).
Rusko (the first generation) has a son who has a son who is also named Rusko (the third generation, your grandfather).
Therefore, Polihron is the great-grandfather of Rusko (the third generation and your grandfather).
Since Polihron is the great-grandfather of your grandfather, that makes Polihron your great-great-grandfather.
mapto:
And what is my son Lazar to Polihron?
ChatGPT:
If Polihron is your great-great-grandfather, then your son Lazar would be Polihron's great-great-great-grandson.
Here is the reasoning:
Polihron is your great-great-grandfather (the first generation).
You are one generation away from Polihron (the second generation).
Your son Lazar is two generations away from you (the third generation).
Therefore, Lazar is three generations away from Polihron, making him Polihron's great-great-great-grandson.
