"talking to the void" can feel freeing bc expressing conscious state into tokenized thought is an act of exploration. chaotic territory is transmuted into orderly map u r walking into the dessert but u feel stationary b/c of lack of landmarkshttps://twitter.com/AbstractFairy/status/1280386973740470272?s=20 …

3. Suddenly, the void now talks back, and it's quite nice Twitter went from, I'm here for expert opinions and memes to I'm here for my friends (I dont use this word lightly.) Equally strange if not more. I feel like I exist and matter

there is a fear that you will simply get lost, that there is no one else out there, or that there simply isn't anything worthwhile past the Edge beside sand and stormpic.twitter.com/4b3LHb8voO

gpt-3 acts like a highly saturated liquid. the crystal that is formed is dependent on the shape of the thing that is thrust into it it's not that different than an actual brain that reacts based on triggershttps://twitter.com/AdeleDeweyLopez/status/1411473967001395203?s=20 …

it sounds really stupid, but when i want to think about math, i basically just chant "math math math math" in my head (plus i'll throw in some specific terms like "tensor" or whatever), and then i start thinking about math is it like this for anyone else?

when using a low temperate param for gpt-3, it likely acts less like crystal growth which has a lot of randomness & more like a bubble solution finding the deterministic(?) minimal surface of a wire framehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_surface#:~:text=.%20physical%20models%20of%20area-minimizing%20minimal%20surfaces%20can%20be%20made%20by%20dipping%20a%20wire%20frame%20into%20a%20soap%20solution%2C%20forming%20a%20soap%20film%2C%20which%20is%20a%20minimal%20surface%20whose%20boundary%20is%20the%20wire%20frame …

TLDR; hooman brains are no different than bubble solution or those clicky heat pack things

just saw github copilot described as fancy markov chain autocomplete which works for general usage as well

thinking about this more there may be a weakness in this model b/c language isn’t a static state independent of the reader it makes technical sense as an internal model just like u can consider the input/output a long alphanumeric string

but the actually useful understanding is a much smaller space. blank spaces demarcate words so a string of words is better. words express ideas so input/output as an “idea” is even better

gpt-3 after all is trained on “ideas of the internet” but this makes gpt-3 feel too much like a search engine. you put in an input to specify some kind of unique state, and then it gives you adjacent states like a librarian fetching a book

in practice, what is expressed is not a specific idea with an adjacency of other ideas but a STRUCTURE or a function that can take in new parameters and pump out entirely new results

the similar structure in regular language is the analogy or metaphor. once you hear a good analogy, it's like you have a whole new tool to think with just like having a whole new function in codehttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1390158309202677763?s=20 …

so imo, the ability to riff off of metaphors and analogies is gpt-3's biggest strength. https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1340904815816179713 …

  that is... once you create a "woo portal" gpt-3 can act as a stabilizer that keeps the portal open that would allow my army of demo... er... angels of lights and goodness to step throughhttps://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1341959274964996096?s=20 …

  In a strict rationalistic interaction, one must constantly signal adherence to a model of coherence. You can't "skip" a step by teleporting through a woo portal. It's (rightfully!) considered cheating.
