Second, TA teaches us to never overlook the simplest solutions. There are a lot of complicated methods to automatically find augmentation policies, but the simplest method was so-far overlooked , even though it performs comparably or better

Subsequent research by Gerstgrasser and colleagues at Stanford and MIT (arXiv:2404.01413) provides important qualification: model collapse is not inevitable if synthetic data accumulates alongside real data rather than replacing it. The pathological scenario assumes complete substitution—thoughtful data curation can prevent the worst outcomes.

The present findings also show that it is possible to develop systems that can instantly interpret emotional cues to provide immediate and intuitive feedback in a wide range of situations. This could lead to scalable, cost-efficient applications in various domains where understanding emotional context is crucial, such as therapy and interpersonal... See more

t on LLMs and SQL highlighting why they don’t consistently work :
- “LLMs can write SQL, but they are often prone to making up tables, making up field”
- “LLMs have some context window which limits the amount of text they can operate over”
- “The SQL it writes may be incorrect for whatever reason, or it could be correct but just return an unexpected

If consciousness really can arise in a jumble of silicon chips, we run the risk of creating countless AIs — beings, really — that can not only intelligently perform tasks, but develop feelings about their lives.
…
Rather than asking if each new AI system is finally the one that has conscious experience, focusing on the more fundamental question of

Are AI Language Models in Hell?
Main OpenAI dev day takeaways:
(1) Existential crisis for AI wrappers and middleware.
(2) Opportunity for people with good taste in UI and can figure out distribution creatively.
Launching something useful has never been easier.
