So am I reading this, right? @Adobe @Photoshop

I can't use Photoshop unless I'm okay with you having full access to anything I create with it, INCLUDING NDA work?

@Distopos @FoMaHun @indyfromspace Nummulites invented stone casting and built the pyramids.

@alexchaomander What I find fascinating about this is that you guys were able to build the knowledge graph based on an especially contradictory dataset where different documents would claim the opposite things to be true.
Also, seems like Obsidian is dead now. Maybe a lot of other things too.

The only reason the Russian empire didn’t have a colony in Africa was because they tried and failed (in Djibouti). To be clear, Russia did have colonies all across Eurasia and N. America. It was a colonial power that never admitted its past, let alone reconcile with it.

People are excited about using ChatGPT for learning. It's often very good. But the danger is that you can't tell when it's wrong unless you already know the answer. I tried some basic information security questions. In most cases the answers sounded plausible but were in fact BS.

You can replace search engines with a LLM, you'll get a much better experience! (As long as you don't mind that most information you get is made up, and as long as you don't need to track sources, and...)

@tunguz it can write whole sermons on any given topic too

[Alex S @StecOverflow]

What are some good Bible verses to use in a sermon on strongly typed programming languages? #repent and #typesafety by #ChatGPT

@tunguz The funny thing is, all the Bible references it put there are absolutely relevant, I’ve just checked. They are not random, those are the places it used as an “inspiration”.

@ducha_aiki yeh, not too good at acronyms.

@Gerashchenko_en just a bluff to force Western countries to refrain from providing additional air defense systems to Ukraine.

I repeat: Easily produced science text that's wrong does not advance science, improve science productivity, or make science more accessible. I like research on LLMs but the blind belief in their goodness does a disservice to them and science. Here is an example from #ChatGPT 1/5

[Alex S @StecOverflow]

#ChatGPT doesn’t yet know what happened this year. Don’t tell it, let it be happy.

@ducha_aiki

[Alex S @StecOverflow]

@ducha_aiki it also can write poetry about that.

[Alex S @StecOverflow]

@nearcyan a lot of “hallucinations” in ChatGPT answers. It just insists on being right even when it’s obviously wrong.
