    Yes, thank you, this.

    All the criticism for artificial intelligence and deployments of it like ChatGPT right now I see as people not being able to hold something in their hand. This is far more of an abstraction than a new phone and when people can’t grock that immediately or they play with it for 5 minutes and dismiss it because it gave them a form-fill looking answer when they gave it some para-literate 5 word question, then they’re obviously going to be unimpressed and walk away.

    If you spend any amount of time actually trying to figure out what to say to it in order to get it to produce actual information it’s one of the most compelling new ways to interface with a computer since the MOAD and I would imagine ultimately will be the most compelling in the end.

    Like put it this way, I don’t know if this will actually end up producing AGI but, like… This thing is a 3 year old.

    And it’s a 3 year old that can write basic coding implementations and give you at least, maybe in some cases much better than, high school level comprehension s of most of the English (and quickly building to other languages) written world.

    This is the dumbest it will ever be…

      Also, as a side effect, we just solve speech recognition. In a year or two, speaking to machines will be the default interface.

        Style TTs2 for output. Localllama with a high quant on 4x 4090’. Personal AI assistant running on your local homelab for <30k.

        I kinda see it as a home appliance or vehicle level purchase.

          I am pretty sure that there are ASIC being put in production as we speak with Whisper embeded. Expect a 4 dollars chip to add voice recognition and a basic LLM to any appliance.

      Now you made me interested in learning how to prompt these things. From what I have tried, I saw that appending some more descriptional sentences after the actual prompt usually makes loads of sense. But once you add too many sentences, the model tends to write way longer replies too. This is obviously something which happens in real life too, so maybe that is just the natural way…
