Hi, I work on the instruct models. Are you able to share details about the particular task you're doing and the prompts you've tried? (email: <my HN username>@openai.com )

I think the abstract does effectively say that: "these patterns are most consistent with the supply‐based hypothesis of unbacked digital money inflating cryptocurrency prices." And this point is made more forcefully in the paper.

FWIW, I don't have a strong opinion on the evidence presented in the paper -- the analyses seem sensible, but this isn't my field of expertise, so I'd be hard pressed to point out, for example, what alternative analyses they could / should have done.

Also, it's not even obvious to me that unbacked Tether causing the BTC price rallies is necessarily a reason to pull out; markets are weird.

Interesting.

GP seems to say that it worked wonders for them, so I'm still interested in trying it.

So I do AI research on something pretty related to the guessing game -- I'll shoot you an email.

There's a conference on grammar induction called ICGI; might wanna browse through the proceedings to see if there's anything closer.

I tried getting into Treme but couldn't hack it. Maybe I'll give it another try, though -- what was the appeal of it for you?

It's not an entirely fair comparison -- the Locol burgers are a bit bigger than McDonalds (maybe something like 3 McDonalds = 2 Locol)
