Some operations you implement in your code take too much space if done naively, then they get complicated and a bit ugly if moderately abstracted, but ultimately they can become beautiful if you abstract them enough

here’s my self-indulgent theory for why you can’t get a chatbot to produce tweets with my spirit: each new tweet I make is not just an extension of my existing corpus, but of the feelings in my body. I’m always trying to grasp at something new, something fresh, something deviant

However, after careful review. It just didn't seem right. The voice was off and the content was just not there. It turns out that even with 200k tweets, the model just doesn't "get" visa. We have a long way to go until we get a good doppelganger.

(At least so far) AI is a rather faulty multiplier so you will get the most out of it if you are a proficient programmer who knows how to separate the wheat from the chaff
Quote Tweet
I’ve seen people say that you don’t need to learn to code anymore because of AI. I’d argue the opposite. AI is like a 100x multiplier on code. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spent 5-10min coding up an AI tool that saves me hours. Learn to code. Become superhuman.

My current belief approximations: - AI is mundanely dangerous but not as an X-risk - Populations decline and poor energy policies are the two most risky things for our civilization - "Aliens" are a political narrative of some sort, no way any extraterrestrial has approached Earth

Combination of LLM's expressive power and strict boundaries defined with code will do just the same. If you only allow non-GET and private operations explicitly, it will be the same as with browsers

Replying to @blisstweeting
Those vulnerabilities were fixable because browsers are driven by code, so you can write code to prevent specific attacks. Prompt injection is a permanent vulnerability with LLMs because by design they process natural language.

It feels like the time when browsers were a novelty full of vulnerabilities

Every time I play around with prompt injection, I come away surprised that MS and others continue to add LLM+plugin functionality to their core products. Here, after one visit to a malicious site, ChatGPT sends *each subsequent message* to the website. Goodbye, privacy.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't find specific information on the link provided. However, a sore throat and high fever can be symptoms of many illnesses, including COVID-19. Other symptoms of COVID-19 can include cough, loss of taste or smell, and difficulty breathing. If you're feeling unwell and these symptoms persist, it's important to seek medical advice. Please contact a healthcare professional who can provide guidance based on your symptoms and potential exposure to the virus.
