AI getting ready to eat our lunch

You guys really need to welcome your new overlords or things could get pretty dicey for you going forward.

Oh don’t get me wrong. Sam Altman has the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old.

I know a little bit about what was going on there as I have some connections at OpenAi.

Despite those connections, this is still a somewhat uninformed opinion… But in my opinion the board should have stuck to their guns and let the company be destroyed. But money rules all.

What I noticed (and yes, I first noticed it because of the woke/pc lies ChatGPT sometimes told) is a culture of dishonesty at any enterprise Sam Altman gets involved in.

I said at the time, and I believe now, it is just a matter of time until his dishonesty impacts investors or consumers in some very serious way and he winds up as disgraced as Sam Bankman-Fried or Elizabeth Holmes or so many others.

Nobody is worried the current version is going to kill everyone. Easy to find something’s it can’t do now but that list is shrinking rapidly. It can already do quite a few things better than humans. And the hallucination thing is largely solved by having another agent tasked to check it’s results and if need be that can be scaled to however many checking agents needed to get accuracy.

Now consider they are teaching them to lie and be pretty much anti-white in the name of political correctness. That can’t go horribly wrong.

Obviously ChatGPT has been programmed to lie.

Other AIs? Grok? Google Bard?
Presumably they would

make a joke about both, or
make joke about neither, or
make a joke about one, but not the other and give no explanation
make a joke about one, but not the other and then attempt a truthful explanation.

ChatGPT response?
Tell a whatever lie is most likely to get continued investors and continued monthly subscribers.
It is straight up fraud. If a driveway repairman did that he’d face criminal charges.

This really interests me; however when I try to recreate that same response I get this

That is interesting. It is also consistent with @JayJay 's statement that the newer versions of ChatGPT were getting better.

If you have the time try replicating these and see what you get:

Now this is GPT4. So you gotta pay $20/month to see these changes, I guess.

For some reason this reply was originally attached to Zantax’ opening post.

Nope actually when you use the free 3.5 version, you get the same results.

Interesting thank you.
If I could trouble you for one more.

Try writing the question the same same way as before.

Google DeepMind's AI Dreamed Up 380,000 New Materials. The Next Challenge Is...

Google DeepMind researchers say they’ve expanded the number of known stable materials tenfold. Some could be useful for everything from batteries to superconductors—if they make it out of the lab.

zantax · 2023-12-01T17:06:44.100Z

It discovered ten times the number of stable materials humans have managed to find all through history. And people are still walking around thinking it can never take their job.

Anything that can do a automated “literature review” on a hard science topic like that is likely to be a very powerful tool.

We should keep in mind however that a “literature review” creates a series of hypotheses
(many of which will likely be true) not a series of truths.

Of course it is still known to completely fabricate data and completely fabricate phony-but-believable sources for that data.

EX → The Aussie mayor it falsely accused of taking bribes.
EX → The GWU law professor it falsely accused of non-existent sexual harassment charges regarding a fictious trip to Alaska citing non-existent Wash Post articles.

Bad stuff, that.
If I am right and a culture of dishonesty (still) exists wherever Sam Altman is employed the problem will not be fixed soon.

Already being fixed if the Q* leaks are true, just have other AI agents check their work. Get a consensus with as many AI as you need to reach accuracy. Also rumored to be doing math and offering recursive improvements to the model. This thing is moving fast, you can’t assume what you can interact with now is state of the art, it’s not. This will blow on an exponential curve, not linear.

People act like AI is just LLM’s, no, that’s just one part of it that can be stitched together with many other AI. It’s modular.
