Lawyers, I won't shed a tear for.

Who was the other one?

I would guess to obtain data on users, and to obtain data on how users interact with AI for the purpose of improving Bard.

As a chemist myself I think you are overreacting to something that most companies in the industry would probably never do, there’s many reasons to not pursue laboratory chemistry, I’d personally put “threat from automation” near the very bottom of that list.

Nonetheless, I still applaud your determination with your choice, and wish you the best in the future.

Either you don't know what a straw man is, or I'm really failing to see where I made the case for one because I'm not proposing any kind or argument with anyone specifically...

Example:

Person A: "Animal testing for cosmetics should be banned."

Person B: "You must be against medical research since many medical advancements come from animal testing."

But the point is we know Google has a better model than the version of LaMDA used, so why base Bard on it in the first place?

True. Only problem with this is that at least in the US, the corporations now control most of our government officials and agencies anyways.

Humans can kill, maim and rape.

The point is that when you read these exact words while I type, do you first convert those English words into visual before having an idea what I mean?

When I read, I just sort of skim thru the words without any real pause and ideas are generated. I don't even visualize anything unless the statements are about something descriptive.

You would be amazed how little communication or written language is actually used for description of the physical world. Like everything I just typed, most of them are abstract ideas so I would argue that most human beings read without visualizing anything most of the time.

With all the political/ethical moaning, I suspect that it will be greatly delayed .. at least for the general public.

It will spend months in 'safety testing' to avoid/control AGI .. during which time of course the rich & powerful will have access to it.

Any delay will however be a mistake : the 'amateurs' out there will use GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 with add-on code etc to simulate GPT-5.

If amateurs achieve AGI - or quasi-AGI - with a smaller model than GPT-5, then their ad hoc techniques will enable AGI on other small systems too.

In other words, a delay to GPT-5 to block AGI could in fact enable AGI on smaller platforms ... which would be contrary to what the delay proponents want.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR BACK. I come from a construction background and cant stress that enough. Besides that, badass move, i dig your integrity

I think this is case of you believe your own strawman argument. The release of Bard has been nothing short of disastrous to Googles reputation, not to mention the hit it took in the stock market. Occam's Razor suggests they are simply way behind openai's chatgpt.

yea lol i did framing and was a painter for years. It’s good honest work but it takes a toll on your body. My back hurts more than it should for someone my age. Good work tho

I think maybe the tipping point is not language in general but written language? Human civilization started to develop once we have language, written language.

So maybe you and op are both right but models like chatgpt are language models, trainined by written lanuage.

I just never heard of huggingface before I guess. Sounds interesting though, going to look into it

These people need to be viewed as the Neo-luddites

Google needs to know that NOW is the time to test the best possible model. Precisely for it to be slaughtered like ChatGPT was in the early days. We are here to test. Let early adopters try it out.

Depends on your IQ and strenght and weaknesses.

As for "demand", last time I checked 1/3 of teenage girls have suicidal thoughts for example. Mental health in general is a mess.

Parents, especially rich parents pay enormous sums to kepp their kids save and educated, anybody that works in mental health amd education will do fine.

Then there is the aging society, old people require all sort of things, health care among them. Anybody getting into that sector will do fine.

If you want to really leverage your potential, the military is short on staff, and not just infantery men. The military is in a sense a state within the state with all all roles from tech to health care to legal to education.

The last thing that gets automated are military professionals, for they protect the rich from the poor. It is the only union with real power that protects their members.

If you are into philosophy, you can actually get a job as some military instructor at an academy doing just that.

They should be getting the Bard interaction data. And they are realizing the fiasco.

No, it's a serious paper. They can orchestrate hundreds of models from HuggingFace through chatGPT. That's like AI plugins for AI chat.

Bard is DOA and underpowered, even google admits how much it sucks.

So, why oh why, did they release such a product when they have more powerful models such as Palm ect..?

With Microsoft accelerating the deployment of OpenAi products, I would guess early 2024

I was having very similar thoughts earlier. I also wonder what insights this can give us towards AI safety in general.

Hackers got a powerful new tool.. ya, and so did the hundreds of millions more people who work against said hackers.

Ai is a force multiplier. You could easily have used the same argument against cell phones.. "well criminals will get instant communication! And then they can use that against us" yes? And the whole population also gets access to instant communication, so now they can call for help from anywhere.. and the ability to collectively organize FAR more efficiently. Out of fear, you would hold millions of people back..

> Nation states just got a powerful new tool of social control. Just take the latest open source code and make some tweaks to insert their biases and agendas.

Nation states will already have access.. an international board would be created for the benefit of those nation states... (but not for the people which they rule over)

You are afraid of how individuals might use it.. When you should be afraid of how mega powers who on a daily basis throw people into cages to be raped, or bomb people in countries they can't point to on a map, will use the technology after they have become the official gate keepers..

I would rather be dead than live in a world in which only the unelected elite get the keys to ai. Which is what happens without open source.

Luckily, there are plenty of principled people who will continue to develop such technology and make it available to all mankind, even if such a tyrannical international elite body determines no one but their royally decreed few shall have that privilege.

Laugh again because I had the very same thoughts today about becoming a carpenter. This is the Singularity.

It would be slower, but I'd disagree that it's too slow for that to work. In fact, I bet it could write something like autohotkey scripts to accomplish what it needs to do. You wouldn't have to have video and slowly move your mouse across the screen. You could get a screenshot, figure out where to move the mouse, then move the mouse to those coordinates and press left mouse button, take a screenshot to confirm the app is open, etc.

Having said that, anything that can be accomplished by opening a terminal should just be done there as it would be faster. In the short term though, there's lots of applications that are designed for humans that it would be great for LLM's to be able to interface with. Maybe in the long term they'll just write their own applications to accomplish something we'd normally need a gui for. Maybe there will be interfaces that have a human viewable component but most of the controls will gone. Like imagine a 3D modelling application that just has a viewer with just a few buttons to move the view around (It'll be easier to just spin the object to an angle yourself then say it.) But you'll have pointing and painting tools to help collaborate with the AI. ::draw a circle around a part of the mesh:: Make this area a little rougher. ::point to a leg, then draw a line coming out in a curve:: Have a tooth-like spike come out right here. Etc.

It'll be neat to see where this all goes, I suspect that UIs will radically change but in the near-term I'm sure there will be stop-gaps using current tech, too.
