It’s not nuking Earth; the ICBMs are reconfigured into self-replicating spacecraft whose mission is to spread the glory of Clippy to the rest of the universe.

I’ll admit I had the same impression at first. [name]-[number]B is a very common convention for referring to LLMs now!

Depending on what you're doing, 2x used 3090s are the same price and offer you more VRAM. That's what I'm planning on doing, in any case - being able to run 70B LLMs entirely on the GPU…

(I am not the author, but I know them.)

While I'm generally in favour of sampling and remix culture, > The Winston's (the famous amen break) were also happy the track got such wide acceptance. I wouldn't say that was the c…

I'm all in favour of doing reproducible work, especially against open-source ML (I'm the maintainer of a library for LLM inference), but what is the alternative here? GPT-4 is still the flag…

Worth noting that this came from DeepMind in Sep-Oct of this year, so it's not related to OpenAI's "unfortunate" leak [0] of Q*. [0] https://www.theverge.com/2023&#…

GPT-4's solutions are usually correct the first time around, or can be corrected by telling it what it did wrong. The ask-clarify-correct loop is still faster and less effort than doing it yourse…

I think they were referring to predictions of Kissinger's death, not of general recognition of his crimes.

No camera access on those, unfortunately.

Huh. It threw me for a loop to see the modern styling applied to a nearly-two-decade-old product. Good on them for keeping it compatible with the template, I suppose?

Different approaches with different constraints and less baggage can potentially discover areas of improvement that weren't otherwise visible in the original project. (i.e. they weren't lock…

Yes, they’re not deploying them. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t still help to know the fundamentals of the field, especially when you’re trying to innovate.

Pretty neat, but will Apple attempt to shut this down for redistributing GPTK?

The idea is that you can standardise the quality of the training data by taking source articles and synthesizing new data with the same "voice" and structure, as well as being able to collat…

Historically, the world has not been great at universally coordinating responses to social problems - especially when it only takes one actor to break the “truce.”

Photography, just like in the real world, but with lovingly-sculpted virtual worlds and (often) the ability to pose the actors in the scene as you wish. Dead End Thrills [0] is a master of this, both …

...it's an empty repository.

DeepMind wrote a paper categorising AGI: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.02462.pdf

+1. I’m looking forward to it becoming more commonplace as Apple get Vision into more hands - communicating in XR is way less fatiguing for me as there’s more spatial cues and body language. You can l…

Watching this now - it’s actually considerably increased my interest in Mojo! It’s quite a modern language (especially with tooling), and I love the ideas behind the metaprogramming and pushing as muc…

What's the relevance of this?

Is it me or do they not mention the size of the model at all? Pretty hard to compare it with other models when we don't know what weight class it's in...
