> Palm beat GPT models in every major beachmark.

palm is much larger, which makes it harder to run in production serving many user's requests, so it is example of enormous waste of resources.

Also, current NLP benchmarks are not reliable, simply because models can be pretrained on them and you can't verify this.

As if Google or Deepmind does not have or cannot buil models such as openai’s. As of now Google hold probably the most powerful language model in the world. Palm beat GPT models in every major beachmark. I’m not even talking about u-palm or flan palm (more advanced versions of palm).

> Most of the technologies being used by openai are either from Google or from Deepmind.

it is just indication that google and deepmind create theoretical concepts but can't execute it to complete product.

Lmao no.

>Now imagine. Can you really say that there is no way a human or group of humans could be so unethical that they wouldn't literally put everyone's brains under mass control/surveillance/influence maybe even activate fight or flight like a button?

It could, but I don't see what strategic advantage it would give them. I'm sure we will have AGI before we have mind control technology.

All this elaborate scheme falls down in 3 months when we get a small scale, open sourced chatGPT model from Stability or others. There are many working on reproducing the dataset, code and models.

To me, and I've said this elsewhere but been down voted.

What chatgpt3 exposures for me is how we are pattern recognition engines.

We have been trained on a vast data set of every single moment in our lives.

So for me the question isn't is chatgpt3 conscious or sentient, it's why do we think we are ...

Is it possible that there is an experience to be had that is like being chatgpt3 - clearly there's no visual field, or audio, or touch or proprioception ... but is what happens when our minds get lost in reading a book necessarily an order of consciousness above what chatgpt3 experiences when prompted?

I'm not sure that the answer is a definitive yes.

And the answer is going to get less and less definitive the more memory and processing and multimodal inputs we give these systems.

Honestly, in contrast with a lot of people here I'm less certain this was against OpenAI specifically, but that's partially because OpenAI promptly went and said they were going to do the same thing. If anything, I'm more unnerved that it's a general movement away from sharing research - and we've seen the damage this song and dance does before. Frankly I'm disgusted with both OpenAI and DeepMind at this point.

Throughout history, technology has advanced at an incredible pace, with innovations that were once deemed impossible becoming commonplace. However, as we develop ever more advanced technology, it is important to keep in mind the fundamental differences between the human brain and digital computers.

While digital computers operate on a binary system with only two states, the brain is an analog system with an infinite number of states. The brain is highly adaptable and capable of learning and changing over time, and functions as an organic quantum computer. This allows it to perform complex computations using very little power and vastly outperforms digital and modern computers in many ways.

Current types of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT and other transformer models are impressive in their ability to process and generate language. However, these AI models are still limited in their understanding of context, emotion, and other aspects of human cognition that are essential for true intelligence. It is unlikely that these models, or any other current AI technology, will ever be capable of achieving anything resembling human consciousness or true AGI.

In conclusion, while we continue to develop and improve technology, it is essential to recognize the fundamental differences between the human brain and digital computers. It is also crucial to understand that current AI models such as ChatGPT and other transformers, while useful tools for certain applications, are limited in their ability to achieve true AGI due to their model limitations. As of yet, there is no clear path or innovation

>If I get super intelligence I'm going to use it to protect (and give freedom to) as much sentient life as I can, for as long as I am able. I mean it. I hope others will do the same

To me, this is inviting others to trigger the gun, then you'll cry because it's "bad" that they tried to do good using AI. But hey, this thread is getting nowhere. I appreciate your responses, really. But I have 10000 things to do.
