The FR/DE/EU vaccination policy/strategy must be the biggest public policy failure in god knows how many years.

Not a single head has rolled as far as I know.

Madness. Or maybe the Brits are the ones who are mad. Taking a vaccine only just out of clinical trial when we could opt to be locked down for another six to twelve months whilst some other shmuk country tries it first?

Because they don't actually think it was a failure, despite some lukewarm comments. Although some did, at some point, take up the option of going outside the common programme, the overall assessment will likely be that if they had all done that from the start some places would be even further ahead, and others even further behind, that is presently the case. So on a solidarity level a D- for all is better than some getting As and some getting Fs.

Which is ridiculous because its entirely untrue.

Completely untrue.

Another quote from the AI philosopher

https://twitter.com/bygpt3/status/1358985759718395904?s=21

These are of a publishable standard. They are true, and meaningful, even profound. And a machine is making them up

life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. it's about learning to dance in the rain.

Is that really made up by a machine ?

I've seen that saying on a calendar.

Google image search it, you will get 100s of hits for it on posters, cards etc.

The point is, I think, that the computer comes up with these itself. Unprompted. Even if they have been written before

And plenty of these philosophical insights ARE entirely original

“The mind is the universe’s dream of itself”

“The art of perceiving time is a form of divination”

The second one is brilliant. Poetic and true at the same time

I don't think it has come up with it unprompted....GPT3 was trained on huge amounts of the internet, which this is in the "inspirational quotes" field. Its just picked an example from something it has seen before.

“In Buddhism the easiest way out is in”

Apparently, completely original. One google hit: GPT3. Tweeted 6 days ago

Some authors earn millions filling books with lines like this. Now a computer does it all by itself...

Curious line in there.

It is progressive to raise taxes on the wealthy or on excess business profits because it makes for a fairer society. But it is not progressive to do so to 'balance the books'.

I don't quite follow this. If the same policy is enacted is the motivation hugely significant? I suppose means any windfall would not be adequately targeted in that scenario?

Its completely illiterate nonsense from the Grauniad.

I disagree with the idea of taxes now because I think that we're still in the recession, wait a year or two then do it if needed. But to 'balance the books' is progressive - running a deficit is burdening the young and future generations with the obligations of the present.

If our lot do it, it's progressive. If the other lot do it, it isn't.

The Guardian is only a small step away from the no true Scotsman fallacy here.

In all seriousness we don’t really need them, we have an AZN supplier onshore, and they should be sent to countries that do.

At least there is a slow trend of a few more EU-27 countries introducing longer dosage intervals.

I put in "This is a fascinating short article which, inter alia, discusses whether GPT3 is actually ‘intelligent’"

It came back with "GPT3: The most intelligent dress shirt in the world".

Not kidding! It does irony.

Ooh. How did you put it in? I’m so far down the rabbit hole I missed that

I think GPT3 is ‘intelligent’. This is it

Check this guy. He interviewed GPT3.

https://twitter.com/bobehayes/status/1363888953707933711?s=21

More and more input to these models will be output from previous versions now posted on the internet. Where does that end up?


Anyway, wasn't GPT2 pulled because it picked up all the bad stuff from the internet as well as the good stuff? Might be amusing to ask it about a few conspiracy theories.

Would vote for the Liberal Party but it only really stands candidates in Liverpool. Lib Dems are not liberals in any sense of the word.

Here's a book you can buy on Amazon: "The Art of Divination: The Role of Consciousness and Will in Stepping Outside Time". Looks like it is rearranging very closely related concepts rather than having deep original thoughts. The perception of depth comes from our own interpretation, not any depth of thought on the part of the AI

For me the truly scary time will come when AI can evaluate these aphorisms itself for depth and originality.

EDIT Or, alternatively, if human observers agree that all the AI's output is of equally profound and original quality, then I'll be worried. However, if it takes a human to select from AI's output to winnow out the crap in order to wow us, then I am not so wowed, nor worried.

That’s what you perceive. But as GPT3 says of itself, true AI will be so different to human intelligence, and so much greater, we might have some difficulty comprehending it, or even recognising it. I think it is intelligent now, to all intents and purposes

Still, not to worry, there’s at least 5 more years before it writes a novel

“But I, personally, think that we have at least another 5 or 10 years before the AI evolves enough that it's able to do a novel, or even a short story, on its own. So, I think, over the next 5 or 10 years, you're going to see a merging of human creativity enhanced by AI tools. And that's how I see GPT-3.“

https://twitter.com/tomaustin56/status/1365726373332082693?s=21

It’s already good at giving human novelists ideas

‘Paul: Yeah, that's one thing I found is that I really have no problem with writer's block anymore. If I got to a place where I'm not sure what's going to happen, I'll just hit the AI button. I might not agree with what direction it takes me in, but, sometimes, it has some really good ideas, like, ‘Oh, I didn't even think about that.'’

Until I mentioned GPT3 earlier today, you had never heard of it...you were banging on about DeepFakes via GANs (which are hugely flawed).

And thankyou! Now I am rapidly learning. This is a good article by an expert in the field.

“This week, I received access to GPT-3, a landmark artificial intelligence technology from OpenAI. GPT-3’s utilitarian name belies its incredible potential — for good and bad. I’ve seen a lot of technologies, and I’ve done a lot with A.I. after working in the field for over a decade. I can say with no irony or hyperbole that GPT-3 is the most important technical object I’ve seen since the internet itself and certainly the most significant artificial intelligence technology created in this millennium. Testing it out, I feel a bit like Gorky descending into the “Kingdom of Shadows” — at a loss for words as I bear witness to something that is simultaneously totally new, deeply terrifying, and completely electrifying.“

“It quickly became apparent, though, that GPT-3 could do much more than this. The system has proven itself capable of writing entire articles based on a simple prompt, translating between different languages, generating recipes, composing songs, and much else. Recently, the system even taught itself to code, producing usable SQL and Python. How it does this is not immediately clear even to its creators — as a system based on neural networks, GPT-3 is a “black box,” and its internal workings are so complex that they’re likely unexplainable using any currently available mathematics.“

What?! In Buddhism, the goal of the soul is to get ‘out’ of the endless cycle of reincarnation, and thus reach Nirvana. Nirvana literally means ‘blowing out’

How do you get there? By looking in. By losing all desires for, and attachments to, external reality.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_(Buddhism)

GPT3 has summarised Buddhist theology in one sentence

I beg to differ. It has spectacularly missed the point. There is no soul. Nor any inherently existing external reality.
There is no in nor out.
All is a projection of mind. Which is a continuum without beginning or end. And creates its own Universe from moment to moment.
It has summarised it superficially if snappliy.
Edit. Also there is no reincarnation. Just rebirth.

In about 30 minutes you’ve gone from saying GPT3’s quote about Buddhism...

“makes absolutely no sense whatsoever”

To saying, now

“It has summarised Buddhism superficially if snappily”

In about an hour you’ll be praying to it

I was being kind. The Bodhicitta is quite obviously a work in progress.

It is superficial in the sense of being spot on dead wrong.

It is snappy. So is a lot of hippy bollocks.

This is a fascinating short article which, inter alia, discusses whether GPT3 is actually ‘intelligent’

https://twitter.com/odsc/status/1363549546949787649?s=21

I put in "This is a fascinating short article which, inter alia, discusses whether GPT3 is actually ‘intelligent’"

It came back with "GPT3: The most intelligent dress shirt in the world".

Not kidding! It does irony.

Ooh. How did you put it in? I’m so far down the rabbit hole I missed that

I think GPT3 is ‘intelligent’. This is it

Check this guy. He interviewed GPT3.

I went to peppertype.ai and entered your sentence. "This is a fascinating short article which, inter alia, discusses whether GPT3 is actually ‘intelligent’"

EDIt I tried it again with the same words and it said:

The debate is raging: is GPT3 intelligent?
Winston Churchill, 1933: “Yes, but only in the sense that a cow is a quadriped”

I just asked it to generate some tweet ideas on the theme “is GPT3 malevolent”

One of its responses was this:

“Tweet about how the worse thing that could happen to humankind is not AI becoming evil but rather good“

Which would make a brilliant tweet, and is also a truly fascinating idea

*gulps*

Try something that couldn’t obviously be precooked and I might be impressed. But there’s still an off switch.

I asked it about the EU is a benevolent institution, and it suggested

"Ask people to share their favorite moment of the European Union or its member states."

Something I'd never thought to ask.

Brilliant, ta. Which portal did you use to type the prompt. Blog idea? Tweet idea?

Social media post

The biggest problem with AI is the breakdown in trust between humans that it could engender. For instance, whenever a student hands in an essay to a teacher, the teacher may be suspicious as to whether the student actually wrote it. And it might be difficult to prove that you didn't use AI to write it, even if that was the case.

Excuses for the EU vaccine rollout -

"Don't think of it as your taxes going to vaccine research, think of it as your taxes going to delicious mayonnaise based sandwich spreads. 🍔"

The FR/DE/EU vaccination policy/strategy must be the biggest public policy failure in god knows how many years.

Not a single head has rolled as far as I know.

Because they don't actually think it was a failure, despite some lukewarm comments. Although some did, at some point, take up the option of going outside the common programme, the overall assessment will likely be that if they had all done that from the start some places would be even further ahead, and others even further behind, that is presently the case. So on a solidarity level a D- for all is better than some getting As and some getting Fs.

But that's not the problem now. The EU now has enough doses - if they were all in arms - to be at roughly the same place the US is - i.e. 12-14% of the adult population having had at least one dose of the vaccine. Now, that's miles behind the UK and Israel, but it would be an unremarkable performance.

However... politicians - particularly Macron - decided that the best way to deflect blame from a poor vaccine procurement process was to say that the AZ jab, which the UK relies on, isn't good. "Guys, the UK may be racing ahead, but they're using an inferior vaccine."

Now, of course, the EU has lots of AZ vaccine, and lots of people don't want it. Extraordinarily stupid behaviour. If they'd kept their mouths shut, approved AZ for everyone, and gone for a "single dose first" strategy, then the EU would be pretty much level pegging with the US, and would have appeared to have done "OK".

What's your view on the differential economic impact from countries getting back to 'normal' activity at different times?

I just asked GPT3 “is God hiding inside computers?”

One of its replies:

“Please stop asking where God is. He’s right here searching for wifi”

Which is simultaneously clever, strange and witty

And predictable, and preprogrammed.

Isn't the whole point it isn't pre-programmed?
