It's coming along nicely, I hope I'll be able to release it in the next few days.

How It Works:

I am a bot that generates summaries of Lemmy comments and posts.

• Just mention me in a comment or post, and I will generate a summary for you.
• If mentioned in a comment, I will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, I will summarize the post itself.
• If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, I will summarize the content at that link.
• If there is no link, I will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.

Extra Info in Comments:

Prompt Injection:

Of course it's really easy (but mostly harmless) to break it using prompt injection:

It will only be available in communities that explicitly allow it. I hope it will be useful, I'm generally very satisfied with the quality of the summaries.

About a month ago I got a notification that my subscription had been refunded and then another email that my account was terminated:

You are receiving this email because we have identified suspicious activity on your account. In order to protect our platform, we have refunded and canceled your subscription. You will no longer have access to ChatGPT Plus service.

This was after using the service for two months. I emailed and sent them a message almost immediately since I could prove my identity, but they haven't responded back in almost a month. Their customer support appears to be non-existent.

I keep wanting to sign back up, but I'm still pissed about it. I'm guessing it is because I used a virtual card when I signed up and they don't stay active for very long so I have to create a new one for each month of service. Usually I just get a failed payment notification and update my payment info with a new one which pulls from my bank account.

It sucks not being able to use the service though because it was so helpful at helping with programming tasks and Bard isn't nearly as good. Has anyone had any luck getting through to support?

AI like ChatGPT, once known for providing detailed instructions on dangerous activities, are being reevaluated after a study showed these systems could potentially be manipulated into suggesting harmful biological weaponry methods.

Concerns About AI Providing Dangerous Information: The initial concerns stem from a study at MIT. Here, groups of undergraduates with no biology background were able to get AI systems to suggest methods for creating biological weapons. The chatbots suggested potential pandemic pathogens, their creation methods, and even where to order DNA for such a process. While constructing such weapons requires significant skill and knowledge, the easy accessibility of this information is concerning.

• The AI systems were initially created to provide information and detailed supportive coaching.
• However, there are potential dangers when these AI systems provide guidance on harmful activities.
• This issue brings up the question of whether 'security through obscurity' is a sustainable method for preventing atrocities in a future where information access is becoming easier.

Controlling Information in an AI World: Addressing this problem can be approached from two angles. Firstly, it should be more difficult for AI systems to give detailed instructions on building bioweapons. Secondly, the security flaws that AI systems inadvertently revealed, such as certain DNA synthesis companies not screening orders, should be addressed.

• All DNA synthesis companies could be required to conduct screenings in all cases.
• Potentially harmful papers could be removed from the training data for AI systems.
• More caution could be exercised when publishing papers with recipes for building deadly viruses.
• These measures could help control the amount of harmful information AI systems can access and distribute.

Positive Developments in Biotech: Positive actors in the biotech world are beginning to take these threats seriously. One leading synthetic biology company, Ginkgo Bioworks, has partnered with US intelligence agencies to develop software that can detect engineered DNA on a large scale. This indicates how cutting-edge technology can be used to counter the potentially harmful effects of such technology.

• The software will provide investigators with the means to identify an artificially generated germ.
• Such alliances demonstrate how technology can be used to mitigate the risks associated with it.

Managing Risks from AI and Biotech: Both AI and biotech have the potential to be beneficial for the world. Managing the risks associated with one can also help manage risks from the other. Therefore, ensuring the difficulty in synthesizing deadly plagues protects against certain forms of AI catastrophes.

• The important point is to stay proactive and prevent detailed instructions for bioterror from becoming accessible online.
• Preventing the creation of biological weapons should be difficult enough to deter anyone, whether aided by AI systems like ChatGPT or not.

I've read Playground (that uses the API) is "better" than chatgpt4.

Does anyone know if you can access the internet using it?

There was the official iOS release of a ChatGPT app a few weeks ago and I was wondering whether anyone had any news about whether or when it's coming to android?

I mean for now I still use the website but having an app is definitely a smoother experience on the go.

Also, I apologize if this has already been asked here.

OpenAI's lobbying efforts in the European Union are centered around modifying proposed AI regulations that could impact its operations. The tech firm is notably pushing for a weakening of regulations which currently classify certain AI systems, such as OpenAI's GPT-3, as "high risk."

Altman's Stance on AI Regulation:

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has been very vocal about the need for AI regulation. However, he is advocating for a specific kind of regulation - those favoring OpenAI and its operations.

OpenAI's White Paper:

OpenAI's lobbying efforts in the EU are revealed in a document titled "OpenAI's White Paper on the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act." The document focuses on attempting to change certain classifications in the proposed AI Act that classify certain AI systems as "high risk."

"High Risk" AI Systems:

The European Commission's "high risk" classification includes systems that could potentially harm health, safety, fundamental rights, or the environment. The Act would require legal human oversight and transparency for such systems. OpenAI, however, argues that its systems such as GPT-3 are not "high risk," but could be used in high-risk use cases. It advocates that regulation should target companies using AI models, not those providing them.

Alignment with Other Tech Giants:

OpenAI's position mirrors that of other tech giants like Microsoft and Google. These companies also lobbied for a weakening of the EU's AI Act regulations.

Outcome of Lobbying Efforts:

The lobbying efforts were successful, as the sections that OpenAI opposed were removed from the final version of the AI Act. This success may explain why Altman reversed a previous threat to pull OpenAI out of the EU over the AI Act.

Using GPT4 with browsing/other plugins has been great. I friggin hate researching things, while the spouse is the opposite. As a neuro-spicy individual, planning is just about the worst thing I can imagine.

Guess what - "Give me a simple plan for a day in X city that's good for a family with kids ages X, Y, and Z. We need to be back in town by ABC time for a dinner reservation. Plan for random stops and finish with a short summary of the day's schedule that I can share with my wife."

Sit back and relax while GPT does the menial work. Give it a try for where you live and see how well it works. So far we've been having a great time. We got out in the middle of nowhere today and did a nice trail with the kids because of this. Likely never would have found that on my own.

Thanks, openAI!

For those that said it wasn't modern enough, here it is with specifically Gen Z slang.

In the beginning, the Big G was shook. She was like, "I'm gonna pop off and make some fire stuff."

So she made the sky and the land and the sea and all the animals. Then she was like, "This is lit, but it would be even more lit if I made some humans to vibe with."

So she made Adam and Eve, and they were the bomb. They lived in the Garden of Eden and they were vibing so hard.

The Big G told them to chill and eat all the fruit they wanted, except for the forbidden fruit.

But Adam and Eve were sus about that and ate the fruit. Then Big G flew off the handle and they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden.

I asked Google Bard to rewrite the first five verses of the Bible using modern language and slang.

In the beginning, the chill was real. The whole universe was a giant ball of fire, And that was totally lit.

Then God was like, "Yo, this is whack." So he made a bunch of stuff, Like stars and planets and galaxies.

And then he was like, "This is tight." So he made Earth, And he put some plants and animals on it.

And then he was like, "This is lit AF." So he made humans, And he told them to chill out and enjoy the planet.

And that's how the world was created, According to the Bible. Peace out.

Code Repo

I asked GPT to imagine some new instruments and picked this one to make:

EchoSculpt: The EchoSculpt is a sculptural musical instrument that generates sound based on the way it is touched and manipulated. It is a large, geometric, and multi-faceted structure made from a combination of metal, glass, and advanced acoustic materials. Each facet of the sculpture produces a unique sound when struck, rubbed, or otherwise manipulated, allowing for an infinite number of sonic possibilities.

I then had GPT code this entire thing in Three JS, which I am not very familiar with. I also have no graphics programming background nor the maths required.

This took a lot of back and forth, but only a few hours to get to this point.

The background was generated with an AI prompt created by GPT using https://skybox.blockadelabs.com/

the mesh was generated with a prompt generated from GPT using an online implementation of Point-E at https://magus.gg/imagine

AI isn’t magic, of course, but what this weirdness practically means is that these new tools, which are trained on vast swathes of humanity’s cultural heritage, can often best be wielded by people who have a knowledge of that heritage. To get the AI to do unique things, you need to understand parts of culture more deeply than everyone else using the same AI systems.

Prompt:

Please provide a brief summary of the current situation with Reddit and API access written in the style of "ELI5" - In addition, provide the 3 most likely outcomes and the % liklihood for each of the 3 to turn out.

Response:

Okay, I'll try to explain it like you're five. Reddit is a website where people can post and comment on different topics. Some of these topics are called subreddits and they have their own rules and moderators. Moderators are people who help keep the subreddits clean and safe.

Some people like to use other apps or websites to browse Reddit instead of the official one. These apps or websites need to talk to Reddit using a special language called API. API is like a phone line that lets them ask Reddit for information and send commands. For example, if you want to see the posts in r/aww using an app, the app will use API to ask Reddit to show you the cute pictures.

Reddit used to let these apps or websites use API for free as long as they followed some rules and didn't make money from it. But recently, Reddit announced that they will start charging money for using API if the apps or websites make more than $1000 per month³⁴. This made some moderators very angry because they think Reddit is being greedy and unfair. They also think that this will hurt the users who like to use different apps or websites to enjoy Reddit.

So some moderators decided to protest by making their subreddits go dark, which means that no one can see or post anything there³⁴. They hope that this will make Reddit change their mind and stop charging money for using API. They also want Reddit to listen to their feedback and improve their communication with the developers and moderators.

The three most likely outcomes of this situation are:

• Reddit backs down and cancels the API fees, or lowers them significantly. This might happen if the protest gets a lot of attention and support from the users and the media, and if Reddit realizes that they are losing traffic and reputation. The likelihood of this outcome is about 40%.
• Reddit sticks to their decision and enforces the API fees, or offers some compromises or incentives. This might happen if Reddit thinks that the protest is not effective enough or that they can afford to lose some users and subreddits. They might also try to appease the developers and moderators by giving them some benefits or discounts for using API. The likelihood of this outcome is about 50%.
• Reddit and the protesters reach a stalemate and nothing changes. This might happen if neither side is willing to budge or negotiate, and if the protest loses momentum or gets overshadowed by other events. The users might also get used to the new situation and adapt to it. The likelihood of this outcome is about 10%.

I hope this helps you understand the current situation with Reddit and API access.

A Wharton professor believes that businesses should motivate their employees to share their individual AI-enhanced productivity hacks, despite the prevalent practice of hiding these tactics due to corporate restrictions.

Worker's Use of AI and Secrecy:

• Employees are increasingly using AI tools, such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, to boost their personal productivity and manage multiple jobs.
• However, due to strict corporate rules against AI use, these employees often keep their AI usage secret.

Issues with Corporate Restrictions:

• Companies tend to ban AI tools because of privacy and legal worries.
• These restrictions result in workers being reluctant to share their AI-driven productivity improvements, fearing potential penalties.
• Despite the bans, employees often find ways to circumvent these rules, like using their personal devices to access AI tools.

Proposed Incentives for Disclosure:

• The Wharton professor suggests that companies should incentivize employees to disclose their uses of AI.
• Proposed incentives could include shorter workdays, making the trade-off beneficial for both employees and the organization.

Anticipated Impact of AI:

• Generative AI is projected to significantly transform the labor market, particularly affecting white-collar and college-educated workers.
• As per a Goldman Sachs analysis, this technology could potentially affect 300 million full-time jobs and significantly boost global labor productivity.
