AI developed the covid vax? I didn't know that.

but yeah the FDA approval process takes a long time, and for good reason (they need to be proven safe and effective and stuff). even if the cure for (insert incurable ailment) was discovered tomorrow it would still have to go through years of testing first

And hopefully better therapies that don't cause all the health issues that this mRNA vaccine has been attributed to. Take a look at the VAERS data that the gov't wasn't collecting initially. Look at all these athletes with heart issues. I've never seen anything like this. I do think they will get far better but man what a rough start.

Reply to OpenAI has hired an army of contractors to make basic coding obsolete by Buck-Nasty

:)

So I've been wanting to make a few apps for a LONG time. These aren't simple and requires AR. I've tried many times to make it, and I did try with Chat a month ago but no luck. Since it isn't built for coding I figure well, it was a nice try. Like I think it got me 90% there, but I have a ton of errors.

Anyways, hopefully this will make it possible.

Ya, but maybe it can move faster with ai. In silico clinical trials, and a bunch of other tech could shorten testing to months instead of years.

But you are certainly right, medicine does move slow as heck. I often wish it moved faster, even if that meant taking bigger risks.

Oh I love this idea! Hope reddit or "someone" will come thru with it as it would be the most wonderful improvement. Hey, maybe ChatGPT could give really "edited out" threads without all those trolls, derogatory comments, motivated biases, fake stuff, etc. too?

Short answer: A hard fork is when a group of people decide they no longer like the direction a crypto is going (or can't get to an agreement) and announce to the world that, at some specific moment in the future, they'll continue building the chain with their rules/technology.

This creates 2 chains with identical history up to the moment of the split (aka: hard fork).

Chain1: A -> B -> C -> D ....

Chain2: A -> B -> C-> X -> Y ...

Usually the chain with the most support gets to keep their name and the "loser" changes theirs.

Happened with Ethereum, but also Bitcoin, and probably others.

In the screenshot the dude is asking his gpt bot to look up what specific block was the last one to be in the shared history before a split.

Reply to comment by DukkyDrake in ChatGPT creator Sam Altman visits Washington to meet lawmakers | In the meetings, Altman told policymakers that OpenAI is on the path to creating “artificial general intelligence,” by Buck-Nasty

I'd argue that the transformer architecture(the basis for large language models and image diffusion) is a form of general intelligence, although it doesn't technically meet the requirements to be called AGI yet. It's able to take any input and output a result that, while not better than a human expert, exceeds the quality of the average human most of the time.

ChatGPT can translate, summarize, paraphrase, program, write poetry, conduct therapy, debate, plan, create, and speculate. Any system that can do all of these things can reasonably be said to be a step on the path to general intelligence.

Moreover, we aren't anywhere near the limits of transformer architecture. We can make them multi-modal, inputting and outputting every type of data, embodied, by giving them control of and input from robotic systems, goal directed, integrated with the internet, real time, and potentially much more intelligent simply by improving algorithms, efficiency, network size, and data.

Given how many ways we still have left to make them better it's not unreasonable to think systems like this might lead to AGI.

The skeptics of AI have been losing hard the past several years. GPT4 is due out this year. We'll probably have GPT5 by 2026. GPT5 will likely be the first true AGI. We're almost certainly looking at self-improving ASI before the end of this decade. If I were a high school senior right now, I'd be looking into learning a trade, and preparing for robots to take my job in the next 20 or so years. People who work from desks will be replaced first. Not all desk jobs are going away in 10 years, but most of them will.

My big question is what the wealthy and powerful will do with us when a workforce of billions of people is no longer needed to sustain their desired lifestyles. Right now, rich people need poor and middle class people to do work for them, and design and create and build things for them. Then those people need millions more working to supply their needs, educate their children, and so on. But when rich people no longer need poor and middle class people to keep them luxury, they could just exterminate us. I'm hoping they'll give us a basic income in exchange for voluntary sterilization. But I believe the desire to prevent environmental disasters and stop the anthropocene extinction will motivate them to drastically reduce the number of humans on earth.

Maybe ASI will be too clever, too powerful, and too kind to allow them to continue their lives of extraordinary luxury. Maybe it will eliminate ideas like wealth and trade, and give us a star-trek-style post-scarcity world. Idk.

Yep, ChatGPT is amazing for summarizing things. Just say

Summarize this for me

"wall of text goes here between quotation marks"

Then you can tell it "Summarize it more" or "Explain this in simple english like I'm 5" or "give me a bullet point list of the high points" or "is any of this even accurate" etc etc

I use it all the time for fact checking schizo posts on /r/HighStrangeness where some posts a 12,000 word wall of text and chatGPT goes "This is a post from a confused person who thinks aliens are hiding in potato chip bags but they make numerous illogical leaps and contradict themselves 18 times in the message"

and you can even say "write a polite but informal reply to this for me pointing out the inconsistencies and contradictions" and save yourself the time of even having to do that lol

ChatGPT TLDR; for people who would otherwise skip OP's post (you should still read it though)

We need a bot that uses chatGPT to summarize posts over like 600 words, because so many people won't read them and will miss otherwise good and thought provoking messages, and such a bot would be perfectly fitting for this sub lol
