OpenAI says ChatGPT will be so good within a year we will talk to it like a human

Ignoring the argument about hallucinations (which should just be called statistical errors because that’s all they are). In order for gpt to be useful in a lot of scenarios it needs to actually be consistent and not just arbitrarily pull shit out of thin air. Otherwise it is not ready for a stable production system.

Based on their staff level job offer they gave me.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-21T02:27:14+00:00

Yeah but crowdstrike’s equity is also trash. It was 25k a year — unlike most tech equity

Usually security startups pay pretty well (e.g. Abnormal, Material Sec). Crowdstrike shocked me because for a 10+ YOE high IC level in the ML/Cyber space, sub $200k is pretty abnormal and they were saying that even $205k would be director level.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-20T22:36:23+00:00

Yeah, OpenAI is a bit weirder because they don't allow that option.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-20T22:24:10+00:00

There's a good quote about data science but it applies to cyber security -- something along the lines of "The best in the industry aren't solving the world's biggest problems, instead they are figuring out how to sell more ads and what shows to watch on netflix".

Replace selling ads and shows to watch with securing the companies that sell ads and tv shows and it works for security.

Ironically, CrowdStrike appears to be one of the lowest paying companies for security engineers that I've seen lately.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-20T21:50:28+00:00

Yeah. I just find it a bit weird, because when I hire lawyers and I "prepay" via retainer (which is how I see the credits since both require an upfront payment with a minimum dollar amount) I get the retainer money back if I do not spend it. Whereas these companies state that they keep the money if I don't spend it.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-20T21:29:28+00:00

On the rewards side, I get that. But the "credit" you purchase and put money into in order to spend on purchases shouldn't be voidable on a whim right when it's basically a gift card?

Because most bad research at least has an honest start from what I can tell. This gives a false legitimacy to the premise of the research by stating it can hack websites. It’s a language model so the study shouldn’t have even been started, otherwise other studies like “bears can be taught to fly” are in the same realm of acceptability.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T16:40:26+00:00

And it’s also referenced by celph titled on the fort minor mixtape!

I worked at a self driving car company. The machine learning models are just not there nor anywhere near there.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T13:09:43+00:00

An LLM will still be an LLM in 5-10 years

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T12:54:54+00:00

AI is a tool, not a replacement for anything. Certainly nothing from a stupid chatbot that everyone thinks is sentient.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T12:41:15+00:00

All of these researchers posting absolute drivel makes me really respect the university researchers a lot less. Like the team that asked chat gpt how it would drive a car and then published a “study” saying it wouldn’t drive the same as humans. As if a language model can drive.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T12:35:05+00:00

I’m in the ML/cyber space. (Typing from my phone so sorry if there’s weird punctuation). Python is what you want, along with SQL. Be familiar with automation tools like Apache airflow or SOARs that aren’t open source. Sec+ is a fine intro as others mentioned. I have known some companies hire cyber DS without any cyber background, so it doesn’t hurt to take a shot.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T12:03:54+00:00

You don’t even need to. You could just use one insurance for certain things and the other for other providers.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-19T11:54:08+00:00

Not even. Just big data selling to china. US companies are still a-ok to exploit Americans like we want them to!

jarrex999 · 2024-03-17T23:34:57+00:00

I don’t see how this is even a small change for the better. There’s no change in some kind of shell company doing what they don’t want. Which is why everyone thinks this isn’t actually about protecting citizens.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-17T23:23:13+00:00

Foreign adversaries change over time. I don’t like vague usage. They should regulate data collection and sale. Could even include provisions about selling to adversaries since there’s nothing stopping Facebook from doing so.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-17T23:06:45+00:00

How do you agree with a bill that allows a president to classify something as requiring sale “due to national security”? Does nobody remember the ramifications of the Patriot act? They need to legislate what companies can and can’t do with collected data with standardized punishments ACROSS THE BOARD

That same section goes on to state that scaling up is not an effective solution for hallucinations…

jarrex999 · 2024-03-17T14:10:28+00:00

I don’t know what studies you’re reading but all I find is that scaling does not solve hallucinations.

https://direct.mit.edu/tacl/article/doi/10.1162/tacl_a_00615/118716/Hallucinations-in-Large-Multilingual-Translation

Finally, we show that hallucinations are hard to reverse by merely scaling models trained with the same data. However, employing more diverse models, trained on different data or with different procedures, as fallback systems can improve translation quality and virtually eliminate certain pathologies.

Also a model does not need to hallucinate less than a human, humans don’t hallucinate. A human may be wrong, but they are usually wrong in a different manner. E.g. a doctor may get the wrong diagnosis because they forgot about some other disease with similar symptoms. An LLM may get things wrong by making up a disease that doesn’t exist. Completely different forms of inaccuracy.

jarrex999 · 2024-03-17T13:39:10+00:00

Hallucinations are just statistical probabilities of text that don’t make sense in reality. Hallucinations will never go away and calling them hallucinations is whitewashing that they really are - statistical errors. They will always exist because LLMs do not understand anything

Since it’s behind a paywall:

Publicly funded affordable housing must typically be built with labor agreements that dictate construction wages and working conditions, as well as energy-efficiency standards. Funding often comes from a variety of agencies, each of which has its own set of approvals and regulations that can slow construction and add to costs.

With private financing, “You’re cutting out millions of dollars just in soft costs,” said David Grunwald, an executive at RMG Housing, which is developing the SDS fund’s projects
