Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

They say it uses roughly the same amount of computing resources.
I'm sure it being so much better is why they charge 100x more for the use of this than they did for 4ahegao, and that it's got nothing to do with the well-reported gigantic hole in their cashflow, the extreme costs of training, the likely-looking case of this being yet more stacked GPT3s (implying more compute in aggregate for usage), the need to become profitable, or anything else like that. nah, gotta be how much better the new model is
also, here's a neat trick you can employ with language: install a DC full of equipment, run some jobs on it, and then run some different jobs on it. same amount of computing resources! amazing! but note how this says absolutely nothing about the quality of the job outcomes, the durations, etc.

Happy to hear about anything that supports the idea.
this shit comes across like that over-eager corp ~~llm salesman~~ "speaker" from the other day
they say a lot of things, yes
Are you saying thats not true? Anything to substaniate your claim?
Kay mate, rational thought 101:
When the setup is "we run each query multiple times" the default position is that it costs more resources. If you claim they use roughly the same amount you need to substantiate that claim.
Like, that sounds like a pretty impressive CS paper, "we figured out how to run inference N times but pay roughly the cost of one" is a hell of an abstract.
".....we pay for one, ~~suckers~~ VCs pay for the other 45"
"this thing takes more time and effort to process queries, but uses the same amount of computing resources" <- statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged.
"we found that the Turbo button on the outside of the DC wasn't pressed, so we pressed it"
I often use prompts that are simple and consistent with their results and then use additional prompts for more complicated requests. Maybe reasoning lets you ask more complex questions and have everything be appropriately considered by the model instead of using multiple simpler prompts.
Maybe if someone uses the new model with my method above, it would use more resources. Im not really sure. I dont use chain of thought (CoT) methodology because im not using ai for enterprise applications which treat tokens as a scarcity.
Was hoping to talk about it but i dont think im going to find that here.
If only you'd asked ChatGPT "is awful.systems a good place to fellate LLMs"
I asked Gemini!

SLANDER, I SAY
oof, this one stings
also now I’m paranoid the shitheads who operate the various clouds will make the mistake of using the LLM as a malware detector without realizing it’s probably just matching the token for the TLD
we need something for this kind of "I hope to buy time while I await the bomb exploding" shit, in the style of JAQing off
see we were supposed to fall all over ourselves and debate this random stranger’s awful points. we weren’t supposed to respond to their disappointment with “good, fuck off” because then they can’t turn the whole thread into garbage
Well, there's your problem
I read this in Justin Roczniak's voice.

I’m far too drunk for “it can’t be that stupid, you must be promoting it wrong” but here we fucking are
oh no shit? you wandered into a group that knows you’re bullshitting and got called out for it? wonder of fucking wonders
holy fuck they registered 2 days ago and 9 out of 10 of their posts are specifically about the new horseshit ChatGPT model and they’re gonna pretend they didn’t come here specifically to advertise for that exact horseshit
oh im just a smol bean uwu promptfan doing fucking work for OpenAI advertising for their new model on a fucking Saturday night
and as for more important news: the Costco scotch isn’t good, its flavor profile is mostly paint thinner
but their tequila’s still excellent
The Kirkland Signature bottled-in-bond Bourbon is well worth the price. Not the best but surprisingly decent. And this concludes my shameless plug.
a lot of their liquor is surprisingly very good! that’s why it’s also surprising how bad their scotch is
even bad bathtub gin sounds more appealing
