MonkeyMalarky

Invasion of privacy? After entering someone else's private property without their consent? Surely they will be laughed out of court!

I don't know if it's a scam but there's been guys hanging around the local greyhound station with stories like "my phone battery died while I was on the bus, can I use your phone to call my buddy to pick me up". And I don't want to be a jerk but something about it felt a bit too pushy, and if I give then my phone I was probably never going to see it or them again. Now just giving it unlocked to a squeegee kid? Hell no, that's just plain naive.

Now there's an idea! Chat with a psychologist using your dead parents voices. I wonder what Freud would make of that.

So who's going to build the sex phone line where you can talk to celebrities like Marilyn Monroe?

Just take this 5-strip of acid at a 3 day music festival surrounded by 20,000 people for your first time bro!

Die? I think it's die. Look at Biden, Putin, Xi, and Rupert Murdoch they range from old to really fucking old.

Now it's the senior engineers and architects turn to panic!

I saw that Mr. Z. was getting into MMA in his free time, but this is taking it a bit too far isn't it?

I have micro-services that haven't been touched in years because they do one thing, and the requirements of that one thing never change.

Human contact has been a bad thing for a lot of bird species.

Have a link handy?

Yeah this thread has been the motivation for me to sign up on the wait list and cost out what it would take to try fine-tuning their older models on our data. There's still plenty of work out there when it comes to building a solution to a problem.

Also what happens to the intuition and unwritten skills that humans learned and passed on over time? Sure, the model has probably internalized them implicitly from the training data. But what happens in a case where you need to have a human perform the task again (say after a devastating war)? The ones with the arcane knowledge are gone, and now humans are starting from scratch.

The price isn't even that bad, even the most expensive at 6cents per 1k tokens, it won't cost me much. It's the context size that's amazing. Gone are the days of only being able to pass ~500 tokens into something like BERT.

I'm not at a big tech company, and we don't sell algorithms, but my team does use a lot of NLP stuff in internal algorithms. The only panic I have is trying to keep up and take the time to learn the new stuff. If anything, things like GPT-4 are going to make my team 10x more successful without having to hire an army of PhDs.
