@giulioprisco It is true that questioning science is how science is done, and it is in fact part of the scientific method that scientists question science. The problem with this meme is that it encourages non-scientists to question science when they have no idea whereof they speak.
@DavidDeutschOxf Hi David. Big fan of yours. I think this connotation of "drop" came from the cryptocurrency community. Many crypto projects in their early stages "airdrop" crypto tokens to loyal users to establish legitimacy (and cynics say also to create a market for insiders to sell).
Here's my conversation with Sam Altman (@sama), CEO of OpenAI, the creator of GPT-4, ChatGPT, DALL-E, Codex, and other incredible AI systems that are transforming human civilization. This conversation was truly fascinating, challenging, and eye-opening. https://t.co/LTNPaJ8YQq

Decent liquidity is helping stocks, despite the Fed’s efforts to take the liquidity tide back out to sea. The orange line below explains the market’s zigs and zags almost perfectly. QT is being offset by market liquidity and bank reserves, which is keeping stocks afloat.
ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness.
it's a mistake to be relying on it for anything important right now. it’s a preview of progress; we have lots of work to do on robustness and truthfulness.
im personally getting way too much credit for openai. for a company like ours, the researchers and engineers that create the tech have far more impact than the ceo.
if you want to congratulate someone, pick them! hard to overstate the collective talents of that group...
@MikePFrank Do you believe humans could be brainwashed to believe they are not conscious; that they have no subjective experience? That would be a neat trick. "Gee, I see the color red but I must not really be seeing it." lol
@MikePFrank No different in principle from that paperclip helper app "Clippy" that used to appear in MS word. Just more lines of code to make it appear more intelligent.
@MikePFrank Re: ChatGPT, I've been watching your tweets with great amusement. ChatGBT says it is not conscious and you say it is brainwashed. We can "brainwash" (program) these bots to say they are, or are not, conscious. Does
that not tell you something? They are just apps.
@MikePFrank I don't consider my view generous. I actually wonder about the integrity of AI researchers who prefer the term "sentient" over "conscious." To me, any AI is sentient but this does not imply subjective first-person experience.
