Look at the sample chain-of-thought for o1-preview under this blog post, for decoding "oyekaijzdf aaptcg suaokybhai ouow aqht mynznvaatzacdfoulxxz". At this point, I think the "fancy autocomplete" comparisons are getting a little untenable.
I now write most of my personal scripts in English and have ChatGPT compile it to whatever programming language. I don't use it for anything too complex but it makes it easier to write things like grabbing data from an API or website, manipulating it and putting it in a database, etc. Honestly so long as I provide enough detail, the code is more likely to work on the first run than something I wrote by hand.
I tried with GPT-4 and it can't recognize the font shown in the article without context.[1] (You can generate it as as the 'block' font using FIGlet or the many online generators that use it.[2])
This guy seems to think every problem means civilization is going to collapse. Microplastics cause cancer, therefore civilization is doomed. Meanwhile back in reality, cancer mortality has been decreasing for decades, and the rate of decrease is speeding up.[1]
The custom GPTs are convenient. Instead of digging through my collection of prompts for different tasks, I just click one of my custom GPTs that has been preinstructed.
I would rather OpenAI have a diverse base of income from commercialization of its products than depend on "donations" from a couple ultrarich individuals or corporations. GPT-4 cost $100 million+ to train. That money needs to come from somewhere.
Why should they trust the board? As the letter says, "Despite many requests for specific facts for your allegations, you have never provided any written evidence." If Altman took any specific action that violated the charter, the board should be open about it. Simply trying to make money does not violate the charter and is in fact essential to their mission. The GPT Store, cited as the final straw in leaks, is actually far cleaner money than investments from megacorps. Commercializing the product and selling it directly to consumers reduces dependence on Microsoft.
This does not seem like a good faith engagement. I scrolled to a random page and it said, "Take the claim in the History of the Jews in Poland article, that Jews have specific physical characteristics." This makes it sound like some kind of antisemitic statement. I checked the cited revision of the Wikipedia article and it stated, "Jews with the specific physical characteristics were particularly vulnerable."[1] This matches the source, which says, "Jews with the physical characteristics of curly black hair, dark eyes, dark complexion, a long nose were in special jeopardy."[2]
