At @MSFTResearch we had early access to the marvelous #GPT4 from @OpenAI for our work on @bing. We took this opportunity to document our experience. We're so excited to share our findings. In short: time to face it, the sparks of #AGI have been ignited.

If you are a conservative christian who feels there is a "woke" movement attempting to subvert your civilisation out of your hands
You feel exactly like a Roman Pagan did 1700 years ago
Christianity was the woke movement of Rome

Lots of examples now where LLMs like GPT-3 are not used to query their memory but instead make use of context and data that lives outside of the model
This makes sense, it’s scalable and seems like LLMs will increasingly be used as the logic layer rather than the data layer

The deepest unintuitive disconnect w.r.t. psychology of ChatGPT is that it doesn't get "time to think". It has a small, fixed amount of thought for each output token. A bit like human forced to speak very fast. Asking them to produce more text is giving them more time to think.
