really really good explanation

I am still undecided on this - was off it due to all the version changes and prompts breaking with fixes (mainly fixing exploits..), but ultimately some kind of language crafting will be inevitably useful.

Generative Pre-trained Transformer for Biomedical Text Generation and Mining

very highly recommended by a lot of internet strangers

Will GPT improve GDP? Eli suspects probably not. Mentions that computers didn't (or haven't yet), and examples of larger industries that are not likely to be immediately affected; either slow moving regulatory blockers, or stuff like buildings that people are still better at.

• Be more specific in prompts, for role of the writer, and style and tone. It is not having a conversation
• Don't ask it for facts or references or math.
• Play with memory and length, write smaller sections at a time to refine style

mostly just jokes and funny ones rather than best. I don't even know what best would mean.

• Not being specific about your goals
• Not asking it to reduce its output (ask to reduce, remove, compile, or rewrite)
• Mixing topics in a single chat
• Asking only 1 thing at a time
• Prompting in the negative (instead of "without X", add "delete X" to the end of prompt)
• Not giving examples
• Asking it to do math
• Not iterating

on scaling laws of language models. I still know too little about all of this to make much sense of it.

Estimate that ChatGPT will cost $150-$200 per month.

interesting comments from some Alphabet employees - that cost of LLMs needs to come down by 10x-100x to be viable.

ChatGPT interacts in a conversational way. Meant to let it answer followup questions & challenge incorrect premises.
Interesting how significant the UI is for these tools.
Still a lot of echoes of earlier models - it will often erroneously bring up earlier lines from chat, there's not real understanding of the conversation.

Explain text from papers or answer questions. Cool way to fill in gaps on unfamiliar topics.
