Just because you can't run it doesn't mean it wouldn't be useful. This likely will give insight on the kind of modelling, experiments, goal function, deployment methods, resiliency etc. And you could easily reverse engineer policy decision with code(IMO), but other way is not possible.

> some idiot executive don't put it in full charge of mortgage underwriting

There are two scenario that you are mixing:

Mortgage writing using GPT make more money for the lender: I don't think it is a tech community responsibility to give wrong suggestion against GPT, and it should be handled in legal way.

GPT fails and mortgage and using GPT could mean loss for the lender: It would correctly push the market against relying on LLM, and I don't have any sympathy for those companies.

Exactly my setup. I tried to use `conda install` few times, but every time after just few globally installed packages, conda SAT solver always struggles, and I now live with assumption that if incompatible package combination does not throw any error in dev environment, it is likely fine.

Long form messaging like letters is close to dead due to the effect of telephone and SMS.

Internet eliminated the need to go to library to find information.

Hell, even books/writing changed the way people acquired and stored information and people no longer needed to be present in the university. Plato was against writing in a time when writing was just becoming accessible in a widespread way, and in just 2000 years we literally can't imagine a world without writing.

I think the biggest value would be products tracking users, just as it currently is, like Google, Facebook etc. If assuming AI could learn from low quality data like humans could now, these companies have a huge dataset consisting of multiple GBs per living person that is available to them now including (verified) human written texts, search history, browsing history, video call logs/transcripts, translation transcripts etc.

In future company could even pay users to get access to their keyboard and mic to get the data that is verified to be human.

From the paper

> We tested GPT-4 on a diverse set of benchmarks, including simulating exams that were originally designed for humans.3 We did no specific training for these exams. A minority of the problems in the exams were seen by the model during training; for each exam we run a variant with these questions removed and report the lower score of the two. We believe the results to be representative. For further details on contamination (methodology and per-exam statistics), see Appendix C.

They allow others to use it for noncommercial use. Other research groups won't have to use openAI APIs for some of the usecases, hence the model is competing.

I am surprised that they were able to launch this in stanford's domain. They clearly broke TOS of both Facebook and OpenAI, and even admitted doing that. I would be happy if the research decides to ignore openAI and facebook's useless restrictions.

> Thus, on one hand, I'm glad they're doing this, as it should help prevent wider bank runs

Could you expand? My first thought was that the bank who is in verge of crisis could tip over with additional burden.

Based on my limited runs, I think 4 bit quantization is detrimental to the output quality:

    > /main -m ~/Downloads/llama/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -t 6 -n 256 -p 'The first man on the moon was ' 

    The first man on the moon was 38 years old.

    And that's when we were ready to land a ship of our own crew in outer space again, as opposed to just sending out probes or things like Skylab which is only designed for one trip and then they have to be de-orbited into some random spot on earth somewhere (not even hitting the water)

    Warren Buffet has donated over $20 billion since 1978. His net worth today stands at more than a half trillion dollars ($53 Billiard). He's currently living in Omaha, NE as opposed to his earlier home of New York City/Berkshire Mountains area and he still lives like nothing changed except for being able to spend $20 billion.

    Social Security is now paying out more than it collects because people are dying... That means that we're living longer past when Social security was supposed to run dry (65) [end of text]

> It would be idiotic to further disrupt their operations for no reason.

Tech has the worst P/E ratio, even big tech. It is fine if the value is inflated for disruption and future growth, else the valuation should be less than half of what it currently is if we say $1 of tech profit is equal to $1 of any other profit.
