Schrodinger's Monk: A monk leaves his monastery, vowing to meditate atop a mountain in solitude until the end of days, as is the path their particular practice.

None will know whether he has left his body, until the next brother follows this same path. For a certain amount of time, Schrodinger's monk can be thought of as being both alive & dead, up until the next monk observes his body, thereby collapsing the wave function 🤓

Chatgpt probably can be called AI. What people mean though when they say AI is they mean an artificial being with sense of self. That's not gonna happen. Probably at some point the tech would advance to the point where the machinery used itself evolves during the process of learning and the machine's parts start to express sense of self. Chatgpt should be considered big data ai that can understand things and should be used appropriately.

Also we need proper regulations around ai for safety and to block sinister use.

Summary from chatGPT:

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in Washington D.C. this week to demystify the advanced chatbot ChatGPT to lawmakers and explain its uses and limitations. The chatbot, which is powered by cutting edge AI, is so capable that its responses are indistinguishable from human writing. The technology's potential impact on academic learning, disruption of entire industries and potential misuse has sparked concern among lawmakers. OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, has a partnership with Microsoft, which has agreed to invest around $10 billion into the company. In the meetings, Altman has also told policymakers that OpenAI is on the path to creating "artificial general intelligence," a term used to describe an artificial intelligence that can think and understand on the level of the human brain. This has led to discussions about the need for regulation and oversight for the technology. OpenAI was formed as a nonprofit in 2015 by some of the tech industry's most successful entrepreneurs, like Elon Musk, investor Peter Thiel, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Y Combinator founding partner Jessica Livingston. A central mandate was to study the possibility that artificial intelligence could do harm to humanity. Therefore, it makes sense that Altman would be on a tour of Washington right now to discuss the potential impacts of the technology on society and the need for regulation.

My thanks and compliments on this, it's very informative, very interesting, and very well written!

Would love to see a "filled-in" technology evolution tree for perhaps the last few decades or so. Hope you do one!

More nui mahalos and all the best too!

This makes a lot of sense.

A lot of what instruct fine tuning and rlhf is that if you provide some high quality, specifically created data to an LLM while it's being fine tuned, you get a significant jump in results for this fine tuned model - versus just giving them more of the same structured data.

In some of the papers I read, a lot of the conclusions are akin to "next steps is trying to see if more instruction data will improve results".

Some of the challenges with this instruction data is that well we just don't have a lot. We don't have for example... A lot of the recordings of people using computers to complete tasks. Like keystrokes and screen recording.

I don't think this sounds like they are getting "screen" recordings (AdeptAI for example is doing that with their model, but with a browser only for now). It sounds more like just accompanying natural language descriptions with the fine tuned data is enough to get an improvement. Which makes sense from my limited experience with LLMs.

Should be interesting. I imagine this is for fine tuning GPT4. The "Codex 2.0", better base model (GPT), better instruct tuning probably as well.

This post is no different than wingeing about cgi effects replacing some practical effects. You are way off base in my opinion. If first gen generative models have taught us anything it's that "human irrationality" is definitely automatable and perhaps it's easier to do than many other seemingly easier tasks.

I know you're being sarcastic but that subreddit is like 50% luddites. Every ai post has the same stupid comment "ai was supposed to take boring jobs, not creative" upvoted to the top. I don't know who promised them that. I suppose they watched movies like "I, Robot" and that's where their perception of creativity/intelligence being impossible for ai comes from. I read a comment there that ai will never be able to replace accountants. Accountants!!!!! There are a few sensible comments but the majority are just nonsense absurdity. They still have in their minds that humans are "special" in some way.
