I think they will turn their attention to improving RL, more multimodal data, or new architectures.

2023-03-29 01:54:30 @erikavaris not at all. It’s in the best interests of some of the parties—some of who, were instrumental to the rise of GPT—to tear down OpenAI.

2023-03-29 01:52:56 This is interesting to me because FLI is strongly associated with Longtermism, and Longtermists have been using a line of reasoning that boils down to “we must build bigger AI systems to understand how to control them”. OpenAI was created initially to do this. There seems to be a gradual shift in the narrative wherein EA and Longtermists are starting to vilify OpenAI.

2023-02-28 00:30:02 @MattHodges @meg This is not a lot of consensus, unfortunately. I would say that explainability (or explanation) is a subset of transparency. Explanation is typically a post-hoc process to provide understanding of the output or behavior of a system. Transparency includes making information about the system available such as the algorithm, data, etc. But others may slice the cake in different ways.

2023-02-20 12:04:22 @cydonian @heyjovo yes, this is an intentional maneuver to box in tech companies and force them into supporting (or at least not interfering with) right-wing agenda. Usually works too.

2023-02-20 12:01:00 @gcampax I am not totally clear on the difference between ChatGPT and 003. There are definitely external safeguards on ChatGPT, but as to whether they share all the same RLHF tuning, I am not sure. Bing feels lacking of all of that, but also Bing had additional “Sydney” tuning.

2023-02-20 03:43:12 @coty I didn’t even go after the part when they are apparently cool with making fascist versions of ChatGPT

2023-02-20 03:21:01 We at OpenAI believe in responsible deployment, which is why we demonstrate technologies before they are ready. Um… So people can prepare… yeah… that’s it.But also we sold our not-ready-for-primetime-technology to Microsoft for $10B so they can deploy it Also, buy access to the underlying less-safe non-RLHF-tuned version of technology through our API and deploy it yourself

2023-02-20 01:24:18 @daniel_klotz Optimal in the sense of maximizing expected future reward (wins). Would have been more correct to say less-optimal in paragraph 1, and optimality-seeking in paragraph 2.

2023-02-19 23:50:28 @b_cavello it would explain Microsoft’s “more powerful that ChatGPT” if they were using something like 3.75 (to make up a number bigger than 3.5 and smaller than 4). They wouldn’t have passed on the opportunity to brag about being first to deploy GPT4 (unless Prometheus is an early version of GPT4 and they aren’t allowed to call it that)

2023-02-19 22:31:06 @R4_Unit using a non-RLHF-tuned model is just such a bad idea. The only reason ChatGPT didn’t blow up in OpenAI’s face is because of the massive amount of RLHF tuning counteracting adversarial inputs. And lo and behold Bing is off the rails.

2023-02-19 22:10:57 @magsol I will every opportunity to remind people that AI is being used to wage class warfare under the guise of helping

2023-02-19 21:59:47 Healthcare is a scarce resource. Instead of addressing systematic inequities, this is a proposal to move poor people to an inferior and flawed alternative under guise of helping. But more then that, poor people will have to pay to use AI services. The money will shift outside of the health insurance system to the tech industry. This is a money grab. Worse: health insurance will feel they have to license the tech to avoid being circumvented completely.

2023-02-19 21:33:17 @gcampax

2023-02-19 21:32:23 This blog post goes farther and hypotheses that the Bing model (which has been called Prometheus by MS) isn’t ChatGPT but some other variant on GPT3 or an early variant of GPT4 that wasn’t tuned with RLHF. Some of this is plausible based on how soon Bing started using GPT after ChatGPT came out and how different Bing seems that can’t be accounted for by prompting alone. (Sorry for the link to LessWrong

2023-02-19 21:26:31 Why does Bing respond to Sydney? This is weird. Bing’s prompt suggests it should not reveal that name (but that isn’t how self-attention and prompting work).My working hypothesis is that GPT3.5 was additionally fine-tuned/instruct-tuned with that name. Now it’s parameters are biased toward that name. MS then reversed gears and tried to override the Sydney-name-bias with prompting.

2023-02-19 02:13:54 But seriously, RL-based game playing techniques are often defeated by finding rare-but-effective (but not quite optimal) action sequences. Self-play RL agents reject these strategies and focus on optimal adversaries--they forget that these other strategies exist and don'

2023-02-04 15:13:49 @emmiehine I’d argue there was little consideration for society, community, nor individual. The fact that some individuals have found use for ChatGPT is completely accidental.

2023-02-04 15:13:29 @emmiehine human-centered computing can mean a lot of things. My interpretation is that HCC refers to the extent of to which societies, communities, or individuals were considered during the design, development, and deployment of computing system as opposed to the system itself. This perspective says that ChatGPT is not itself human-centered (as human-centered is not the same as having a user interface or human-facing). Nor was the design, development, nor the deployment human-centered.

2023-02-04 03:33:52 @aethervision @shoq did Microsoft eat Google’s lunch? OpenAI is riding high right now, but they aren’t light years ahead of anything Google has. Google might not be able to be gutsy anymore, tho. $300M seems like a relatively small play. We will see if Goog outsources it’s risky stuff to AnthropicAI (which they can then disown if something embarrassing happens). Maybe that is a wise move if Claude is any good and there is about to be a ChatGPT vs Claude war.

2023-02-04 03:12:18 Google invests $300M in AnthropicAI and buys a 10% stake in the company.https://www.theverge.com/2023/2/3/23584540/google-anthropic-investment-3...’m not sure how this makes sense except as a way to keep influence over potential upstarts? Google can do anything AnthropicAI can do, and already have models at least as powerful as the yet-to-be-released Claude. Does Google just feel they need to have their own version of OpenAI?

2023-01-15 00:40:58 @Loucovey There are a lot of mediocre, error-filled, plagiarism-riddled papers that didn’t use GPT. One can use GPT and then edit it to remove all those problems. The idealized standard for authorship is that an author (1) contributes to the planning and execution of the concepts being written about, (2) participates in the writing, (3) approves of the final version, (4) is willing to take public responsibility. GPT cannot engage in 3 or 4 (and typically not 1).

2023-01-07 02:02:06 @marypcbuk Indeed, the linkage between common sense and stories is very strong

2023-01-07 00:36:06 How is it I find myself agreeing with Brockman… and LeCun and Marcus in a single thread? I don’t think it’s ever happened before.Anyway, I’ve been arguing for a long time that stories contain a lot of information about how the real world operates, so I’m not surprised that we can get so much about human experience out of text.But I’ve also never been under the belief it would be enough for full-fledged reasoning.

2022-12-29 12:38:16 @ocramz I remember that paper. The dataset is interesting. The experiments still try to solve the entire entailment by fine-tuning a LM to spit out an entire tree at once, though, so I didn’t consider it as chaining through iterative querying.

2022-12-29 02:16:59 Our first attempt at backward-chaining with language models wrapped an LM in a recursive question-answering routine, where the algorithm attempted to guess what questions readers might have and preemptively answer them https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.03808Anyway, I’m pretty excited about using LMs as part of a larger, structured process instead of just entering a prompt and generating continuations.3/3

2022-12-29 02:13:55 My team has been looking into wrapping Language Models within backward chaining algorithms for a few years now. In the context of story generation. Plot coherence has a lot of similarities with logical reasoning, though without the need for hard guarantees (readers can be forgiving sbout certain types of omissions). Our most recent work wraps an LM in an algorithm inspired by ends-means backward chaining search: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.08718 (came out a few days earlier )2/3

2022-12-29 02:07:42 We know from the long history of “classical” AI techniques tha ends-means reasoning (backward chaining) can be highly effective and more efficient than forward-reasoning. This paper achieves significant gains on logic reasoning by inducing an LM to chain backwards from conclusion to premise: https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.13894 The LM is “wrapped” by a larger, ire traditional algorithm. This is notable because it acknowledges that LMs can be made more powerful with external routines.1/3

2022-12-27 03:02:32 A word of warning: these books are self published. I don’t normally read self-published works as they can be hit or miss—usually miss. I don’t recall how I stumbled upon them.

2022-12-27 02:48:43 Nagata’s Inverted Frontier series is a sequel to an earlier series, but it works as a stand-alone series.

Plots are sometimes messy, but the books present a richly detailed depiction of the deep future, which is somehow both humanistic and also embracing of nanotechnology and digital beings.

2022-12-23 02:53:01 @danvanmoll That is a plausible argument that sort of aligns with how the models work (though anthropomorphizes as well).

At the same time artists are justified in their anger when their art is used without permission.IMO we need to separate the implications of input/training and implications of output/generation.

2022-11-03 02:55:50 @deliprao If you want to feel like part of a community and have an interesting local instance feed, you can look around for an instance that suites you. I'm on https://t.co/AB5FdeiTZy. Mildly enjoyable to just check out scientists chatter, but I probably won't do that much.

2022-11-03 02:54:56 @deliprao If you are going to join Mastodon and you just want to do what you do on Twitter, which is curate a feed by following, it doesn't matter what instance you go to because you can follow anyone on any instance.

2022-11-02 22:56:51 There aren't many people on the server that I would consider my scientific community, and it would be really amazing to be able to open the local feed and see people I don't follow talking about AI, ethics, tech policy etc.

2022-11-02 02:57:57 @jeffbigham Make sure to include the fact that we are having this discussion on the birdsite instead of Mastodon as a data point.

2022-11-02 00:43:45 8. Anyway, my apologies to @chloexiang for dropping the ball on her emails. It's been a rough couple of weeks.

2022-11-02 00:42:18 7. A good XAI system increases the number of options a user has beyond just accepting or not accepting the response of an AI system.

2022-11-02 00:41:52 6. Just as important as trust is /actionability/. If the user is wronged by an AI system (or perceives it to be so), then the AI system should provide information that helps the user seek remedy.

2022-11-02 00:39:55 5. If you do it wrong, you can make things worse inadvertently https://t.co/HaylhBrUZQ

2022-11-02 00:38:59 4. Thus our goal should be /trust calibration/, using explanations to help users understand when to trust the system. What do they need to know for trust to be placed only when appropriate? This is the human factors challenge.

2022-11-02 00:37:28 3. XAI is complementary to reliability testing. Yes you want your AI to be rigorously tested and verified. But the idea that a ML system's outputs can be be trusted under all circumstances is a myth. In fact, it can be dangerous to lead users to believe they can always trust it.

2022-11-02 00:34:04 @chloexiang 2. XAI is an evolving research field. Just as most AI is deployed before it is ready, XAI is often deployed before it is ready. Most XAI systems are not designed with human-factors in mind, and they fail. Just because those systems fail doesn't mean that XAI is doomed.

2022-11-02 00:33:02 This is my bad. I missed the opportunity to comment before this article came out (Not @chloexiang's fault)This is what I would have said.1. We should design with explainability in mind from the start. Retrofitting will always be hard. https://t.co/YJrBQPD7Ga

2022-10-30 14:15:08 @sdelachica I've been thinking about this. Discord doesn't have followers/following? I think? I don't use discord that much. I think this would be equivalent to Mastodon local feeds. Also, can't share between servers, so each discord is a walled garden.

2022-10-30 02:21:24 Mastodon could be really great for researchers. I spend time on Twitter for when people share their research and discuss research trends. It's all about who one follows. Local servers oriented around research topics make sense because the local feeds could increase discovery.

2022-10-08 15:34:00 @deliprao @myleott @IrwanBello You don’t think agent architecture could or should be designed to resist such instantiations? Humans are known to be horrible. Does it make sense that the developers of systems that can easily be (or are designed to be) abused in known ways to take some responsibility?

2022-10-08 14:33:29 @SpectralFilter More Tay-like than I realized. But still, chatbot developers should be putting in safeguards and researchers should be looking for ways for agents to self-correct when the safeguards fail https://t.co/LhxoAr7AME

2022-10-08 01:28:33 I don't think one needs to couch this problem in terms of AGI or value alignment. It should be sufficient to say that we don't want agents that crash and burn when environmental conditions change after training--like the real world.5/N

2022-10-08 01:26:20 We will soon (hopefully) be sharing work using World Models to rapidly adapt to open-world novelties(Maybe I should have called it "re-aligning goals" to tap into the value alignment zeitgeist?4/N

2022-10-08 01:22:12 An implication of my team's formalization of open-world novelty is that agents must recover a performant policy without resorting to offline re-training.We created a grid-world testbed to experiment with novelty adaptation https://t.co/M2erw9DfoJ3/N

2022-10-08 01:15:44 Open world novelty is a sudden change in the mechanics or properties of an environment after a learner has converged on a policy. It typically results in a policy crashing and burning. GMG goes farther and shows that novelties can result extreme opposite effects 2/N

2022-10-08 01:11:40 New work by DeepMind considers RL agents that learn a policy correctly but still gets negative rewards after training https://t.co/NLYRxBbzsWThis appears to be a special case of "Open-world novelty"1/N

2022-10-07 23:51:07 @SpectralFilter Tay way naive but someone had to step in it first. Everything after that is willful negligence. This is worse in some ways: the user isn't egging the agent on, they are trying to steer the conversation away but the agent is plowing forward, determined.

2022-09-30 23:16:49 It’s weird but totally legit if the terms are given up front. If there is competition between services, such as term probability would be harmful to the artist’s interests. But in this case the service doesn’t cost the “server” that much and users seem relatively unaware.

2022-09-30 23:07:25 I think it’s sort of interesting that Midjourney grants copyright but also uses terms of service to restrict what the copyright owner can do with the generated image (can’t profit). Like commissioning something from an artist and the artist telling you fine but you can’t sell it

2022-09-15 15:51:21 @athundt Problematic from a scientific evaluation perspective. My potentially controversial stance is that in the field of creative AI, overfitting and train/test purity is less important because we care about downstream effects involving human factors

2022-09-12 01:22:03 Jupyter notebook cells means one can write a function by writing each line in a different cell (maybe with a print statement at the end of each). You can run the cells and see your data change and verify at each step.

2022-09-12 01:22:02 If done right, every layer of the onion is unit-tested on the fly as the code is built. Because one is working backward, one must spend the time making example data by hand that essentially become the unit tests.

2022-09-12 01:13:16 I like to work backward until you get to the "real" program inputs.You may also need to work your way from the core outward if there are further transformations on the output of the "core".

2022-09-12 01:13:15 Write the guts of the transformation/function inside one or more cells. Don't be afraid to put a print statement at the end of each cell. But do not define a function. Write what is in it at the top intent level. Do not write a loop. Write every step at the top indent level.

2022-09-12 01:13:14 Think of a program as an onion. Each layer is a transformation. At the heart of the onion is the one most important transformation/function, or most complicated. Find it and start there.

2022-09-12 01:13:13 The core thing one learns from coding Lisp (any functional language really) is that every program is just a sequence of transformations to change input data into output data. You can think this way with Python tool, and really "eager" DL APIs like Pytorch very much encourage this

2022-09-08 12:30:06 @EricFos There are many good conferences around more specialized topics that run in the small hundreds but struggle to attract more submissions. They can grow to the thousands without trouble. In my experience many of these have accepting communities and quality reviewing.

2022-09-08 12:26:00 @EricFos If people flock then yes. The question is: what leads to this flocking and how can we address the causes instead of the symptoms. I’d argue that one cause is how we measure merit, at least on the academic side. Probably on the industry side too.

2022-09-08 11:48:28 @EricFos Right now that is conference acceptance, which is more or less random. Journals offer this. There might be other mechanisms that operate more like badges, though the devil is in the details

2022-09-08 11:10:28 @EricFos I am not entirely sure journals are the solution because they also don’t scale. As of this morning (my opinions aren’t settled) I think the issue is that we need “markers of significance”, some way of indicating which work is noteworthy and easier to find…

2022-09-08 11:07:49 @EricFos Global is an issue, good point. I spent a lot of my early career in smaller conferences and there was a lot more regionality.

2022-09-08 11:05:10 @EricFos Why would industry be opposed to small meetings if small conferences are more rigorous? We can still have big, low-threshold events too if they need more audience. (There is a bigger discussion of what companies get out of basic research and publication).

2022-09-07 15:33:27 This will also require changes to how hiring and promotion committees work. This will be a pain point no matter what.

2022-09-07 15:28:35 What might also be needed is to return conferences to their original purpose: professional meetings to disseminate and discuss early work. Set a very low bar for acceptance. All posters, no presentations. Use journals or other mechanisms to archive and signal significance.

2022-09-07 15:23:22 (b) needs people to be better about literature searches, and it helps to be famous (back to that problem again)Prominent scientists are free to be trailblazers. But prominent scientists are also publishing with students trying to make a career. It's not so easy as that.

2022-09-07 15:20:54 Maybe. Only if those smaller conferences can meet the underlying need for (a) promotion committees, and (b) the need to disseminate broadly and be cited. (a) requires a lot of cultural change that is going to take time. Who is brave enough to quit the popular scene?

2022-09-07 15:18:43 The issue is that it is bad everywhere, so authors aren't necessarily trying to escape a conference. And if they all go to the same place, the same problem happens again.Smaller conferences may be immune. Will we see authors fragment to smaller more specialized conferences?

2022-09-07 15:16:12 Lee's proposal is to openly publish reviews. The argument is that conferences will lose prominence when people discover the quality of reviewing.DL conferences like NeurIPS has been doing this for a while. The reviews are often short and mean. Has NeurIPS suffered though?

2022-09-07 15:14:32 Reviewing is definitely a problem. I am not sure the cause is double-blind reviewing. Whatever the cause is exacerbated by the growth of CS and an unscalable unsustainable means of paper selection.

2022-09-03 02:19:50 There will be more people expressing vision and getting value and that's wonderful.

2022-09-03 02:19:49 Artists will continue to make art without AI assistance. We will never lose the need to express ourselves. We can continue to value it because of the sacrifice as well as other reasons.

2022-09-03 02:19:48 All this is to say: if you find value, and you find novelty, and you find surprise or delight then that is great. If the artist finds value, then that is great. No one has to agree.

2022-09-03 02:19:47 Surprise--this is the hardest to grok. I think of it as whether the consumer has a reasonable expectation that the artist would produce a particular piece of art. This is why I can take delight in my kid's art when they show something I didn't expect they could do.

2022-09-03 02:19:46 Novelty--whether something is novel can be assessed globally (how different is this from everything else in the world) or relative to the artist (how different is this from what the artist has experienced).

2022-09-03 02:19:45 We aren't all going to agree on what the value is. That has always been true no matter how the art is made.

2022-09-03 02:19:44 It is great when someone can achieve a vision to bring something into existence that might be meaningful to them or to others. It is especially great when one might not have otherwise had the means or ability to do it.

2022-09-03 02:19:43 AI can reduce the time to create art, but that doesn't mean there isn't sacrifice (the winning piece took 80 hours) and started with an artistic vision that did not come from the algorithm.

2022-09-03 02:19:42 Value--how do we evaluate art? Someone must derive value from it. It could be pleasant to look at. It might mean something to the viewer. It might mean something to the artist. It might get RTs on Twitter. It might fill up an empty wall. Whatever.

2022-09-03 02:19:41 We might look at art from (at least) three perspectives: value, novelty, surprise. This comes from Margaret Boden talking about computational creativity, but it applies it to human creativity, AI creativity, and human-AI co-creativity.

2022-08-28 00:27:31 @terrible_coder In one assignment, I have students complete the implementation for an LSTM, for example, then train it on a dataset I provide. Low-tech is probably the way to go.

2022-08-27 02:03:40 @ngutten Sadly this is probably all just an irrelevant thought exercise. Copy the code and re-train.

2022-08-27 02:02:46 @ngutten This would frustrate would-be cheaters. If determined enough and by comparing label orderings, one could rewire the top layer of the network. Might make copying too much trouble tho.

2022-08-27 01:41:25 The answer should be “yes” but I don’t want to invent the field of neural parameter steganography.

2022-08-27 01:37:50 Is there a way to “digitally sign” a DL model? For example, if I have a student in a class I would like to be able to verify their PyTorch model was trained by them and not by someone else. Such a digital signature should not be alterable without doing damage to the model itself.

2022-08-16 14:46:00 @technollama @cfiesler @grimmelm I don't understand why so many people think generated works may not have copyright or be copyrightable. Please don't say "Thaler"

2022-08-16 14:05:28 @cfiesler @grimmelm @technollama I don’t fully understand the significance of ownership vs copyright. OpenAI owns but doesn’t exert any copyright. What are the implications of such an arrangement?

2022-08-13 22:37:21 @samuelmcurtis @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF Their targets aren’t checking if thousands of other people are getting the same message. Even if a few figure it out, that’s a drop in the bucket. The platforms, which could detect it, aren’t particularly interested in stopping it.

2022-08-13 20:40:16 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis @ykilcher If we are extending to all criminal behavior and not just disinfo, then I agree there are use cases.

2022-08-13 20:38:04 @samuelmcurtis @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF This focuses on the wrong thing. It’s not about varying the content. Bot networks disinfo campaigns aren’t really concerned about detection because of repetition.

2022-08-13 20:35:04 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis @ykilcher Ah I see you said “troll farms”. If the point is to troll for the sake of trolling, then LLMs are suitable, as I acknowledged when I mentioned harassment requiring more engagement. Though it may still be more effective to direct human trolls at a target.

2022-08-13 20:30:29 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis @ykilcher He had it running on Reddit or whatever but he wasn’t strictly running a disinformation campaign with a targeted goal of influence

2022-08-13 20:29:11 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis @ykilcher Easy to deploy, but that is not the bottleneck that I’ve heard. GPT4chan isn’t really something that would be useful for disinformation campaigns. It can generate disinfo, but you have to prompt it to get exactly what you need. And you might not get exactly what you need.

2022-08-13 20:26:15 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis @ykilcher I read and talk to people who study disinfo, and I’m repeating what I’ve heard. Yes I’m being speculative, but I also think that if LLMs were being used someone would have discovered it and it would be a big deal, then we would all know.

2022-08-13 19:45:20 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis I think Jack has an interesting idea that LLMs are going to be more suited for high-engagement scams like establishing fake friends (to exploit someone later?) or to harass

2022-08-13 19:41:58 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis Anyway, the latest campaigns don’t all use bots at all but real people convinced to repeat the same information. Now you have real “intelligences” doing the work for free.

2022-08-13 19:39:49 @GaryMarcus @jackclarkSF @samuelmcurtis My understanding is that the disinfo campaign needs to be carefully crafted, which will still require a lot of manual work no matter what. Templates are easy, don’t make mistakes, and have been shown to be highly effective. Why add complexity?

2022-08-09 00:31:25 @BurnsTheLawyer Anyway very interested in understanding where the legal perspective falls on such things. I’m worried about a disconnect between legal understanding of AI and and technological understanding of AI

2022-08-09 00:29:10 @BurnsTheLawyer It seems equally wrong to claim that any creative act touched by an AI (or any non-human process) is also uncopyrightable when there is human agency involved in some form.

2022-08-09 00:25:49 @BurnsTheLawyer … Dall-E as a more tangible example, might choose the color of every pixel, but is completely dependent on the prompt, a human-generated contribution to the creation.

2022-08-08 22:26:41 Buried elsewhere, so I’ll surface it here: the license automatically granted to OpenAI looks similar to term used by social media platforms. The copyright is the big change.

2022-08-08 22:23:13 @BurnsTheLawyer Is that how the Thaler ruling is being interpreted across the legal community? I read it much more narrowly, though I am not a lawyer and you are.

2022-07-27 01:56:51 Been thinking a lot about computational creativity of large image generators like DallE, Imagen, and Parti. Not going to say they /aren't/ creative. But I think we tend to underestimate the amount of weird sh*t they might be trained on. Some of their power comes from that.

2022-07-08 18:21:30 @acylhalide1 @KerryLVaughan I would argue that most AI safety is thinly veiled normal AGI that will not really have much applicability to real safety issues. "AI Safety" has almost become a buzzword without meaning. But there is work on AI safety that may have more impact that is underexplored.

2022-07-08 16:36:34 @KerryLVaughan An implication is that the need to create the perception of speed means people are potentially not picking the best problems to work on, or working on things like safety in shallow ways that sound good but don’t really move the needle much. Money can redirect attention

2022-07-08 16:35:00 @KerryLVaughan Also worth asking: is progress to fast or is there a harmful incentive to create the appearance that we are making more progress than we really are? Not sure how to address that that is not punitive

2022-07-08 16:32:10 @KerryLVaughan If you want to slow things down make it more appealing to be university faculty than an industry researcher. More seriously, what are incentives for moving fast and how can they be changed or replaced with healthier incentives

2022-06-30 00:28:03 This court won’t be cowed. To get there the left needs to increase the majority in the Senate and reform the filibuster. Court must be packed. Ideally, Dems hold House and Senate in 2022 and can start fixing things in 2023. Keeping the House is unlikely but Dems can add Senators.

2022-06-30 00:28:02 The Supreme Court has heralded a new era of Lochner jurisprudence (https://t.co/Qt5mnrLh61). The original ended when FDR threatened to pack the courts to get the New Deal passed and the SC backed off. That is a model for the way out of the current nightmare.

2022-06-23 00:43:10 @hllo_wrld Humanities scholars know quite a lot about human creative processes. What is new and exciting is that we don't know a lot about how intelligent creative tools slot into--and change--these human creative processes. There is a lot to learn, and a lot of ripe HCI research questions.

2022-06-22 23:38:25 @hllo_wrld For professionals yes. Moreover, intermediate results frequently cause human artists to revise their objectives/goals

2022-06-22 23:36:55 @ngutten @dribnet Does diffusion do all at once? I was thinking that diffusion works by corrupting images so the model really wants to reconstruct existing images, versus minimize a discriminator, which is going to result in a pareto front and thus a partial fulfilling of several objectives

2022-06-22 23:21:34 @hllo_wrld Getting it right on the first try isn't how art works. I think we don't understand what professional artists need or want from AI-powered tools. Once we know that, we can know what to build, whether it is wrappers to support process with the existing model, or new models

2022-06-09 17:54:51 @ButterKaffee A question for the ages

2022-06-09 17:54:29 @jmhessel Here are two controversial claims:1) There is a lot of overfitting going on but our understanding of overfitting is insufficient. 2) Some amount of overfitting is okay in generative/creative systems, and that amount is likely dependent on what the downstream task is.

2022-06-09 17:41:01 Words matter, and words change. I’m starting to see people picking up on term “foundation models” but calling them “foundational AI systems”. Which is somehow both more cringe and more hype-y

2022-06-07 14:14:54 @tilmanbayer Interesting argument. Not sure I buy it---teachers are understood to be performing a service on behalf of the student (paid or otherwise). If one wants to argue that OpenAI retains copyright, I think a better argument is that users are rendering unpaid services to OpenAI.

2022-06-07 13:08:50 @tilmanbayer That's not what the ruling says. The reporting on this has been bad. The ruling quite narrowly says that software are not legal entities and therefore cannot be holders of the copyright. It does not say that AI-generated art is not copyrightable by the user of the software.

2022-06-07 12:30:58 I’m not opposed to 4chan being flooded with fake content if it makes the forum unusable. We know from the history of DeepFakes that the easier a model is to use the more it will be adopted. How long before the 1000s of people who downloaded GPT-4chan turn it to other targets?

2022-06-05 02:25:31 Today, the region is a Republican stronghold despite the active role of social policies to lift peoples' ancestors out of extreme poverty. Boating on the many artificial lakes in southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia is a common past time. Lakes that wouldn't otherwise exist.

2022-06-05 02:20:59 As with many agencies, the TVA has a checkered past with race. They employed mostly white locals. The dams created artificial lakes that displaced many communities of color.

2022-06-05 02:18:58 The TVA also worked with farmers to modernize farming practice as the soil in the region had become poor from over-farming. They made fertilizer and taught techniques such as crop rotation.

2022-06-05 02:17:30 In seriousness: the Tennessee Valley Authority was part of the New Deal with the goal to lift southern Appalachia out of extreme poverty. The TVA build hydroelectric dams for flood control and brought electricity to the region for the first time.

2022-05-31 20:12:02 @dlowd These models encode tokens alongside images as well as images of words. That is why sometimes when one prompts “bird” one gets an image of word-like shapes instead of animal-like shapes.

2022-05-31 19:12:26 I’m being a bit cautious about what the implications of this are. It could be clusters of latent space that just got mixed up with some sub-word tokens and humans are reading more into it than is actually present (abductive vs deductive).

2022-05-25 18:16:42 I don’t want more police in schools. Not only is it unsustainable and unlikely to prevent a determined attack, it increases the potential of harmful student-police interactions. Black kids are more likely to be arrested for insignificant matters when police are in schools.

2022-05-25 17:37:56 @MichaelMJJohn yes he said the part of the 2nd amendment about a well-regulated militia is purely decorative.
