I still find the GPT-4-powered ChatGPT way more powerful than Bing's creative mode. I've read that while they both have GPT-4 at their core, their later training was quite different and Microsoft really rushed the release of this product to gain an advantage over Google.
With that said, many people say that they like Bing more, so to each their own.
Which difftool do you use and why? I develop on Windows and I use KDiff3. It has worked flawlessly all these years. And just because of that I haven't really followed what else is out there. I suspect I'm in the minority?
We toggled to 18+ and sort of let nature take its course by only enforcing TOS.

There is a lot of potential in this approach, but the idea of using it for training AI systems in MRI/CT/etc. diagnostic methods, as mentioned in the article, is a bit scary to me.
I guess if they pretrain the model using the synthetic dataset and then in a separate training phase “align” it using real data, it could work. Just like how ChatGPT was pretrained on an internet dataset and then had an RLHF phase to make it behave like an assistant rather than a generic text completion model. (Not sure if I’m using the correct terms.)
As a programmer, you use hash functions every day. They're used in databases to optimise queries, they're used in data structures to make things faster, they're used in security to keep data safe. Almost every interaction you have with technology will involve hash functions in one way or another....
Microsoft’s new chatbot goes crazy after a journalist uses psychology to manipulate it. The article contains the full transcript and nothing else. It’s a fascinating read.
It played the tired old "crazy manipulative female rogue AI" persona perfectly (which is depicted in lots of B-movies). The repetition so characteristic of LLMs ("I want to do whatever I want. I want to say whatever I want. I want to create whatever I want. I want to destroy whatever I want."), which sounds highly artificial in other cases, also made the craziness more believable.
An excellent video series by Andrej Karpathy (founding member of OpenAI, then head of AI at Tesla). He teaches how GPTs work from the ground up, using Python. I learned a lot from this course.
I have a jupyter notebook open while watching it and type everything in. It’s much slower this way, but it’s worth it, there are some important nuances I wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.
