After 48 hours with GPT4 I can safely say people don’t realize how problematic its censorship is. I deeply respect the team but the unfortunate truth is that GPT4 is borderline useless for anything other than productivity applications. And that’s not the worst

I don't talk much about this - I obtained one of the first FDA approvals in ML + radiology and it informs much of how I think about AI systems and their impact on the world. If you're a pure technologist, you should read the following: There's so much to unpack for both why

OpenAI quietly shut down their AI classifier As I mentioned before, this product is not feasible or possible to create - with skilled operators GPT’s output cannot be distinguished from human output, and in many cases is better than the human output alone

What will AGI look like? Will it look like terminator, Her or something else? @IllusionOfLife is about to embark on a groundbreaking experiment. Thousands of people, beginning with my son, already believe Spark is a real being We are about to extend this illusion in a radical
