There are two categories of people: those who quickly figure out that chatbots give you the answer you expect when you ask questions in a biased way, and the ascended polymaths currently out-thinking every expert on Earth

When prompting I go out of my way to avoid using you when giving an instruction

People say large language models are a watershed because, for the first time in human history, we've invented a technology we cannot control - but we haven't been able to control printers for 40 years.

@azeem @balajis Stress tests may not have been required for SBV due to 2018's S.2155 bill. SBV lobbied for this change and stayed below the threshold. https://t.co/erkrxn7D5Z

@marktenenholtz Good you wrote 'me included' or I wouldn't have retweetet it.

Data scientists want to automate so much of other folks’ work, but get so upset when you automate any part of their work.

Maybe my most out there prediction: within 10 years we'll have a Google Translate like experience for at least one non-human animal.

We’re facing a difficult problem with the open-source world.

There are no open-source models with comparable performance to Codex.

@StabilityAI will eventually train near data-optimal code models, but will they risk training on codebases with no permissive licenses? (5/7)
