It is a language model, it was made to produce convincingly looking text, and that's all it does. It cannot judge the content of the text it produces. If the information it provides to you is accurate, that is purely accidental. It was not designed to provide information, but to generate plausible looking text. Its creators' idea was to train it on as much data as possible, hoping that it would "learn" things as an emergent property, but that has clearly failed. It makes up its answers all the time, and there is no way to check where its "information" comes from (since it is all bullshit). This specific kind of model has reached its limit. Maybe it could be in the future incorporated into a bigger system as the text generation part, with other technology doing the information retrieval and the reasoning, but in itself it will never actually provide you with accurate information because it is pretty much just large-scale mechanized astrology for text. It pretty much proves that "The Unreasonable
Effectiveness of Data" was a mirage.

<Write a visual description of the Leftypol mascot Alunya

>Alunya, the Leftypol mascot, is a unique and eye-catching figure that represents the political ideology of the Leftypol community.


>She has a round and cheerful face, with two big and bright eyes that sparkle with mischief and intelligence. Her hair is a wild and bright shade of pink, styled in a jagged, spiky cut that adds to her playful and energetic persona.


>Alunya wears a classic and timeless black beret, tilted slightly to the side, which symbolizes the political and intellectual heritage of left-wing movements. Underneath, she has a pink turtleneck sweater that is cozy, warm and snug, and perfectly matches her hair color.


>She stands on two feet, with one hand on her hip and the other holding a bouquet of flowers. The flowers represent the idea that Leftypol stands for peace, love, and equality, and Alunya's confident and proud stance conveys the message that these values can conquer all.


>In conclusion, Alunya is a lovable and memorable character that represents the Leftypol community with charm, wit, and warmth.

In the spirit of leftism, can someone investigate the somehow immense marketing presence that a few groups of venture capitalists' companies have? In short, OpenAI's ChatGPT is a small step forward in decades of research. There are already and there were already other models that for the most part matched it and in some cases beat it. However, those got hardly any attention, and it gets an insane amount of attention.
Now, large language models are a cool development, sure, but again, look at the scale at which people talk about some companies and not others, and look at the groups behind those companies. In short, those venture capitalists may have essentially been controlling the narrative of what's popular online. I don't think it's some nefarious conspiracy, more just celebrity culture and the fault of people. But if it is just celebrity culture and the fault of people, then using the sprawling network of online lefty activism would be the way to defeat it. If it isn't just celebrity culture and it is nefarious capture of online news media, then the way to correct it would again be through the sprawling network of online lefty activism.
What am I talking about? Here are some examples.
Recently Microsoft bought half of OpenAI, and Google already had its own large language models that predate and possibly outshine ChatGPT. Microsoft and Google both demo their software, both of their models make large errors during their demo. Microsoft (and OpenAI) get tons and tons of praise all over the web, but Google's stock drops by a hundred billion dollars, online news media is attacking Google and praising OpenAI.
Example two, tesla motors. I don't think much needs to be said about this but the internet for the past five years has been full of constant bombardments of ads for this company. They haven't had the best self-driving software. For a long time they were getting outsold even in the EV sector by Nissan. Where were all of the articles praising Nissan? Nowhere. It's a constant bombardment of spam about tesla motors.
Same with neuralink, and some of the companies that venture capitalists like Sam Altman and Peter Thiel are involved in.
Now why would it be nefarious? This was rambly, but basically there are a handful of the same venture capitalists (Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, a few others that are not worth naming but who are persistent). That group initially struck it big with some early investments in companies that ended up being huge. That's fine, that's the nature of venture capital. The problem from there though is that they aren't just buying and growing companies, they somehow took over the narrative of the majority of online tech news reporting. As if coincidentally, these venture capitalists either own or have at some point owned a large share of, or have been in an executive role in: Reddit, Twitter, Facebook. Stories about their companies get immensely bombarded throughout news media. How coincidental that their companies get overwhelmingly more press coverage and that they happen to be financially involved in online advertising and social media companies. Again, just look at most tech news websites, it's constant reporting on a handful of companies, and they are the same handful of companies that this group of venture capitalists invests in.
It errodes the fabric of society when news media is so thoroughly misrepresenting what is happening in the world.
This issue is rarely even acknowledged let alone addressed.
Hence it's on you folks to identify the problem, propagandise it, and correct it.

My addiction of throwing car batteries into the ocean was getting out of hand. It was perfectly legal. Chunking bats, we called it. It started as a joke. Me and the boys were on vacation and the motel dumpster had a car battery in it. We took it along with us to the beach and my buddy dared me to just toss it in. It's perfectly legal, he said.

The power I felt when I tossed that black box was like no other. The rush. The total control. I laughed it off, but weeks later I felt the need to do it again. Now I lurk the dump and the pick n' pull for extra juice cubes. I've taken time off work for the drive down to the beach. I've found a particular spot. Some days I'll hoist so many of those fat babies it shouldn't be legal. But it is.

A few times the police have gotten involved. They see me parked with the trunk open, full to the brim with bats. They hear the clunk and splash after I toss a real good one. They come up to me and ask what I think I’m doing. I tell them what does it look like I’m doing and it’s perfectly legal. Sometimes they just shrug and walk away, but other times they detain me, throw me in the back of the squad car, and tow my Honda Civic.

Sometimes I find myself wondering why I keep doing this as I sit in the detox cell. I really just can’t help myself. Throwing car batteries in the ocean is my passion. After these kinds of bouts where they arrest me and I have to make bail, they’ll generally let me out after a day or two. If I don’t plan it right, sometimes I get fired for missing work. It’s easy enough to find a new job until they ask what I’m passionate about.

I haven’t told anyone about my hobby. I’ve kept it secret now for nearly six years. Thousands of batteries later and not one of my friends or family knows what I do. They just think I get arrested for public intoxication all the time. I’m fine with that. I’d prefer it that way. I don’t think they would understand the compulsion. They’d never really ‘get’ it. I’m a led and acid junky and I’m never going to stop.

Yesterday I think I finally found the job for me. One that will make my hobby that much easier. I got a gig working for the city. Part of some municipality hazardous chemical and item pickup/dropoff. Y’know, the kind near all the wood chippers for brush pick up and giant trash bins that go to the dump. Now I help the city dispose of real nasty stuff. But one of the things people come drop off to the hazardous chemical place is batteries. I won’t have to go digging for em’ anymore, and it’s not like the city is going to care if I skim a few off the top. What are they going to do? Arrest me? We both know what I do is perfectly legal.

Watson also won't even attempt to play chess as it would assume you are asking questions about chess as Watson can't comprehend you are asking to play a game with it since it basically is a AI front end to a search engine where it is relies on its database to spit back results.

Chatgpt helps lower the bar in making it easier to solve tasks, while also raising the bar in the complexity and/or specific of a task you can take on – the reason why I gave the example is to highlight that higher bar.

For simpler examples: you can use the ai to scan a photo of your math homework and get the answer for it, ask it to write an essay, ask it to make music, or even chat with gpt on a issue you have and have it stream line the process of figuring out the issue.

Comparing it to ais of the past, it's impressive.

ChatGPT is not an AI in the traditional sense and more a Chatbot that can predict text thus why it gets creamed by traditional AI models that don't understand text, don't try to predict text and just trying make its input match its win condition. ChatGPT can't tell the difference between HuBasic, TiBasic, Atari Basic, Apple Basic, Tandy Basic, Commodore Basic or MS Basic and just looking through text that contain those key words and trying to predict the output that matches the request.
