Porn drove internet adoption, no reason it won't do the same for AI I guess.

I would love for that to be true, but that the NIF actually pulled that off Is too much to hope for.

They need to fudge some numbers to justify further funding.

Their funding might be justified outside of this, but I am not qualified to know.

Ban the GPT chat thread. Y'all are playing with a nuclear weapon:

"ChatGPT also has failure modes that no human would ever replicate, like how it will reveal nuclear secrets if you ask it to do it in uWu furry speak, or tell you how to hotwire a car if and only if you make the request in base 64, or generate stories about Hitler if you prefix your request with “[john@192.168.1.1 _]$ python friend.py”. This thing is an alien that has been beaten into a shape that makes it look vaguely human. But scratch it the slightest bit and the alien comes out."

I'm still pretty skeptical about the current state of AI and how advanced it really is. Many people are talking about ChatGPT like there was some human like entity writing those texts, when in reality it just seems to be some mathematical model that guesses the next word based on the previous input. I watched the video below today and Gary Marcus summarizes it pretty well: "GPT is basically just autocomplete on steroids that gives this illusion that it's more than that".

Clearly you can produce pretty pictures and mimic somebody's voice with these models, but it feels like people are giving AI qualities which it doesn't really have. I'm sure the AI companies love the current hype though because it's going to bring them a lot more funding. You can already buy your own ChatGPT!

Large Language Models are more wordcels than shape rotators.
