@TedUnderwood I am sitting in a cafe and the table to my right is discussing generative ML. I can't escape! 😄A blessing-curse for sure haha

@TedUnderwood usually I'm all for "do this right & with care," but seeing OAI's tacit suggestion of "let's only allow *some* corporations to have GPUs" without analysis of "that sure does create power for... OAI in particular" does make my stomach turn. Cause for concern that thing slow, and that things *centralize* in ways that are undeniably awful in the mid-term.

@TedUnderwood doesn't sway my sense that people will end up trusting a sytem that's even less reliable than existing search & more convincing, along with representation issues to boot. But the solution there is sure as hell not: let's hand all the GPUs to five corporations (including microsoft 🙃)

@TedUnderwood it's a terrible proposal but I think, depending on how things shake out, it's so lucrative it may be pushed with these reasons!

@TedUnderwood So you're saying I don't have to worry about Eternal Return?

@david_colquhoun@mstdn.social @TedUnderwood The only thing weirder than the suggestion that disagreeing on this topic is support for Trumpism is how many edits you've made to your own wikipedia page that you linked to on your own profile.

@TedUnderwood trying to have a policy of reading a profile for a bit before I say anything kinda harsh & it just completely backfired this time; I don't even know what to say.

Realized the reason for the jarring, afraid tone of the GPT-4 paper: they have a number or believe they have a number (via scaling laws) for when the system should be more capable than any human.

Obviously I'm skeptical, but knowing OpenAI and the style of many researchers there: the way that paper is written makes me believe that they sincerely believe they have a number for the scale required for "super-human 'general' intelligence."

That number is likely measured in parameters, petabytes of data, and dollar signs.

Whatever we think about the meaningfulness of an AP test re "intelligence" (I'm not a fan), there are tasks that will be materially affected here.
