@karpathy Sounds exactly like my grandparents - once you've told them you like a certain kind of yogurt, you're gonna get three jars of that yogurt EVERY time you visit. Model just wants to make you happy! So you come to visit more often!

@barzik @TheMarker אין לי גישה לכתבה אך מעניין לדעת מדוע הם נתנו לסוכן גישת כתיבה לכל המידע של כל המשתמשים/ כל תשתית הענן שלהם? האם טעות מטופשת? או שילוב של טעויות שצריך להיזהר מהן?

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@sama @QuantumTumbler Illogical statement. Why should you go to jail if you *walk away* from doing something unconstitutional/illegal? Of course I will visit though

@giffmana top imports advantages:
1) fail fast when setting up: encounter ImportError and install missing lib, rather than wait for function call
2) declarative 'these are my dependencies'
3) surprising 'warmup time' for first function call

@reach_vb What did you use to generate this audio visualization?

@EzraSandzer Melodic similarity ≠ stolen

@hasolidit אפילו אם הבנקים האלו כן מממנים כלכלה גוועת וכו׳, עדיין לא בהכרח מומלץ להסתכל על גרף שבמקרה מתחיל מהנקודה הכי נמוכה של המדד

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@hasolidit זה נכון אך מטעה, כיוון שהייתה ירידה גדולה לפני תחילת הגרף המוצג. יצא שאפריל 2020 הוא הנקודה הנמוכה ביותר בגרף מאז 2014. מ2014 עד עכשיו יש עלייה של פי 2 ״בלבד״

@Tantacrul @Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc So I gather that your answer to my question is closer to the latter? For you the question leads nowhere fair enough, I'll respectfully disagree my friend

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul That's indeed not a nice vision, I hope for a different turn of events

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul Ugh yeah that's not a nice thing to say, and also plain incorrect. Now I see where this issue touches you. In any case, the music AI researchers/engineers that I know (myself included) don't agree with that approach

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul Sure, your creative/intellectual interests (writing music) are much better than theirs (conducting AI research)

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul the researchers who made this AI definitely had a lot of fruitful learning and communication. It's still about the humans who make/use the AI. Not about the AI having its own purpose. It's just another toy (an interesting one). I personally see no use in resisting the toy so much

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@RabbleChorus @Deve_Dy @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul Nicely said. AI will never be conscious or appreciate beauty like us. But will it be able to write an aria that gets an A in that exam? On that you and I seem to disagree

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Tantacrul @Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul in your view, does today's ChatGPT merely 'follow formulas and average them', or is it already able to 'introduce interesting twists, blends, fusion'?

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Tantacrul @Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc Not sure I agree. To illustrate my point let's think about text for a second. Creative forms of text also require interesting/personal twists. Can ChatGPT write a short story that would be rated by a human as 'interesting' or 'having a personal twist'? By now, probably yes

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@NotGlidus @Tantacrul This is the correct way to do beaming in vocal parts from the classical period.... Doesn't Behind Bars mention that?

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @Tantacrul @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc Have you seen anything that approaches a good short story from ChatGPT though? That was my point

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @Tantacrul @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc Fair enough. We have a different experience then. I'm not talking about general intelligence being achieved. I'm talking about specific tasks like composing an aria in the style of Mozart. Or a short story

[Matan Gover @matangover]

@Deve_Dy @RabbleChorus @ErnestoMateoc @Tantacrul I agree on the 'doesn't know why'/'rule following' point. That is a worthy discussion. But: you're saying we now have a model that writes C/D level music. It passes a national exam. Is something standing in the way of it soon getting an A? That's something to think about
