The comments in this thread are people saying they’ve had this experience, but each naming different Japanese metro stations they swear this is based off of.

[Jeffrey J. Hall 🇯🇵🇺🇸 @mrjeffu]

This is the preview for The Exit 8, an upcoming PC game about being trapped in a Japanese metro station and having no idea how to find an exit:
"You are trapped in an endless underground passageway. Take a good look around and find a way to escape." https://t.co/bIpIv2yKfY

ChatGPT "Advanced Data Analysis" (which doesn't really have anything to do with data specifically) is an awesome tool for creating diagrams. I could probably code these diagrams myself, but it's soo much better to just sit back, and iterate in English.

In this example, I was experimenting with a possible diagram to explain Supervised Finetuning in LLMs. The "document" at the origin (0,0) is the empty document, and eminating outwards are token streams. Highlighted in black are the high probability token streams of the base model. In red are the token streams corresponding to the conversational finetuning data. When we finetune, we are increasing the probabilities of the red paths and suppressing the black paths. I like this view because it emphasizes LLMs as "token simulators", with their own kind of statistical physics backed by datasets, bouncing around in the discrete token space.

The conversation where we built it in a few minutes:

(Sadly I just remembered that ChatGPT sharing doesn't support images, but at least the text is there, of me iterating with the diagram in plain language, and needing to touch no code. Such a vibe of the future.)

I had a similar experience yesterday, was trying to create a plot that shows smoothing in n-gram language models. Again I could just have coded this manually, but this was 10X faster and so easy.

Posting because during these chats I was struck again by that feeling of what must be the future, where you just sit back and say stuff, and the computer is doing the hard work. And in some narrow pockets of tasks, you can already get that feeling today.

I do my best with @haveibeenpwned. It takes huge amounts of time and effort and sometimes, is a thankless pursuit. I don’t reply to messages like this, but I’m sharing it to give just a little bit of a sense of the stuff I have to deal with to make it happen.

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@karpathy Love it 🧠

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@MartinViecha Done! 👍

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@elonmusk Hook me up!

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@makersplaceco @beeple Let’s do this. 🤞

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@beeple You made history again today. 1st NFT drop to crash a marketplace website.

Happy to see you and @makersplaceco are making it right in the most fair way possible. 💯

BREAKING: Having achieved nothing in many months of lockdown, today some good news. I have helped reunite a Syrian child with their mum in Britain. It is the single greatest achievement of my life.

[Jon Stewart @jonstewart]

Yes...I’ve come back up on you...much like one of your nasty nasty sandwiches....

[Jon Stewart @jonstewart]

This is bullshit. The Redditors aren't cheating, they're joining a party Wall Street insiders have been enjoying for years. Don't shut them down...maybe sue them for copyright infringement instead!!
We've learned nothing from 2008.

@dougludlow Pretty sure that thing’ll let you buy a PS5 w/o paying scalper prices. If not, what’s the point?

[Gadget Hacks @GadgetHax]

Needless to say, people at home should not try these. https://t.co/ss7NXx7MMf

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@adariostrange Can't have many cases if you can't test for them

[Bryan Crow @BryanTheCrow]

@adariostrange And Dallas, and Denver, and Atlanta, and Phoenix, and Miami, and Orlando, and Minneapolis, etc, etc, etc...

Just released Army budget shows details behind Microsoft's modified HoloLens 2 headsets coming to soldiers... https://t.co/31UpY26Oy7

#MRTK running on #Meta2 with #LeapMotion mounted on.
yes, I'm still using this unlucky headset.

Thanks to @tarukosu for the Leap Motion extension!

This is how I will always remember Kobe. Damn. This one stings. Way too soon. The man had so much more to give. Rest in power Kobe. The true GOAT.

Continuing to move the game forward @KingJames. Much respect my brother 💪🏾 #33644
