The following is written based on what was shared in the CoEm announcement previously posted here and also discussed in depth by Connor in a recent YouTube interview with the Future of Life Institute.
The current paradigm of using LLMs (and increasingly sophisticated monolithic systems that move beyond language in the sense of written human language, including code and images) rely on black boxes and Magic.
We fundamentally do not know how these things work, what the bounds of capabilities are, what the effects of “nudges” such as RLHF are beyond the specific cases being trained on, or how capabilities will change with larger models or more data. I’m talking... (read 1188 more words →)
Today I gave OpenAI some money to get access to GPT-4. After testing a few examples of reasoning that failed badly in GPT-3, I decided to have a chat with it about the potential and risks of future AI. This is what followed, un-edited with the exception of removing nudge prompts where the model stopped outputting text. My input in italics, the rest by GPT-4. Full conversation as a screenshot can be found at here.
