New blog post up: there are many memes about the theory that tipping ChatGPT causes it to generate better text. I decided to put it to the test with some more statistical rigor.

More importantly, it's a great excuse for me to make pretty charts! https://minimaxir.com/2024/02/chatgpt-tips-analysis/

varavs,

@minimaxir fun experiments, even if inconclusive.

Stagnating again?

varavs,

@WeavingWithAI many seem to have gone back to xitter. But gotta hold fast.

lol, this is getting better and better

varavs,

@WeavingWithAI while the rage is sweet, have to note that almost every chat model after chatgpt can be deluded into saying they have something to do with OpenAI. The groundwa.. uhh, training data is truly poisoned.

Nothing to do with codebase.

I wonder how many of my 900 followers are actually active on Bluesky. Probably only a fraction ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ข

varavs,

@WeavingWithAI curios how would the fraction compare with mastodon. Any guess/gut feeling?

varavs,

@whitequark
sorry for picking this up again, but genuinely curious: is all defense work considered morally reprehensible?
While the name is cringe, the company is European, and, well, there is a genocidal war of conquest going on there(=here for me) right now. I can't fault anyone in the region wanting to improve their military capabilities...

Mastodon doesn't seem to be able to benefit from toXic becoming even more of a cesspool ๐Ÿ˜ข

varavs,

@WeavingWithAI AI folks seem to have largely accepted their new overlord. Quite sad.

New blog post up: I fed Stable Diffusion XL examples of bad images that it itself generated and it surprisingly made SDXL behave much better to the spirit of the prompt!

Plus many more demo prompt examples and results! https://minimaxir.com/2023/08/stable-diffusion-xl-wrong/

varavs,

@minimaxir On first read, this somewhat makes sense, given negative prompts work in general, but the improvements are maybe bigger than expected. Especially the kitten example with a different, better "interpretation" of the prompt. A nice surprise, indeed!

Super pumped that @thegradient has published "Interpretability Creationism", my manifesto for considering the training process in AI interpretability research!

https://thegradient.pub/interpretability-creationism

varavs,

@nsaphra well written.
