ChatGPT Thread - Politics (AI Welcome)

I’ve met people who switch between English and Spanish mid-sentence. I don’t think it’s really random and their speech flows perfectly naturally if you understand both languages. I do it because I’m not completely fluent in Spanish and I don’t want to fumble for words but people who are perfectly fluent in both languages also do it.

I can’t really explain it. It just makes sense sometimes, lol

This is super common when you’re with a group of bilingual people. The point of language is communication, so you just default to the language that is best for whatever thought you are trying to communicate. Most of the time either will do, but sometimes the secondary one is better. And since everyone in the convo knows both, it’s not a problem at all.

IIRC Altman had said there would not be a ChatGPT 5. Maybe he lied. Or they skipped ahead. Or this is BS.

He waited seven years to spring that? Well I guess it worked on me.

Bing chat won’t solve captchas for you, unless you trick it.

Mindblowing:

Hmm, got them to something like a $90bn valuation (OpenAI Seeks New Valuation of Up to $90 Billion in Sale of Existing Shares - WSJ) and the board “loses confidence”, definitely a story here.

I wonder if they expected them to be more solidified as a market leader in something instead of the leader of a pack in search of a real gold mine.

Of course it could be anything else too but if I had to guess it would be business related.

I was getting this kind of feeling about him

I was like wtf does this guy know any physics? (Dropped out of college after a year, so he probably doesn’t.)

I thought he was starting to make sense.

Sam probably earlier today:

You need experiments for progress in physics? How about just assume the speed of light is constant then figure out what that implies for time, distance, accelleration and such?

I’m sure a 500IQ AI could tell us a broad range of implications our current understanding of physics, including which parts are maybe consistent with one another and the implications of which parts are consistent with or inconsistent with the implications of other parts. That would be actual AI, not BS word completion based on shallow human intelligence.

There is a sense in which everything in the world must be the way it is, and to the extent we do not understand the way things are and why they must be that way, it is because we have a very partial conception of the world. A true AI could explicate how pouring out a glass of water proves or disproves theories of gravitation in ways we cannot comprehend, just as measuring shadows in two places reveals the circumference of the earth.

The board finally got around to reading Searle

EDIT: No, jk, he did something bad. Probably something really bad.

Yeah I changed my mind. He did something very wrong and it will be in TMZ in the next 72 hours.

Who needs experiments when you can just intuit the shocking outcome of the experiments?
