@elonmusk New glorious PR strategy from big tech: the Schrodinger strategy.

“We are announcing X. Maybe it’s ready, maybe not. You cannot know until you use it, but you can’t use it because we are not letting you use it. You have to earn it. By queuing. Virtually.”

THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT

if something bad happens, it’s not our fault.

Of course, Microsoft couldn’t simply say “Hey, now you can use Bing to generate both text and images.”

No. It had to invent a convoluted name for a feature that is within a feature (with a name) that is part of a product (that has a[n atrocious] name).

LOL. The first thing a patent lawyer will suggest you is to make the claims as vague as possible to have room for interpretations and future clarifications. So, on one side, you pay to muddy the waters. On the other, you pay to clear the waters. >

@jstn @Ninetail_foxQ If it mattered, we’d have to be subject matter experts in everything we buy or otherwise consume. We don’t. Like when we eat Chinese food in Western countries that has little or nothing of Chinese.
It has wide cultural consequences. It still doesn’t matter to most people.

Did anybody notice the new research paper published by OpenAI and others titled “GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models” ?

Of course, I’ll mention it in this week’s Issue of Synthetic Work, but a couple of important snippets: https://t.co/4aP0gWsmlW

1/ To me, one of the most exciting areas of R&D that #GenerativeAI unlocked is what I call “adaptive content generation” (other people call it in other ways?): in real-time AI (re)generates aspects of a system depending on user input or behaviour. UIs, content, functionalities.

2/ I’m collecting as much information as I can on the subject and, when I have enough, I’ll write an issue of Synthetic Work (it will be a Splendid Edition) just about that. As we like to say in the Tube here in London: if you see something, say something (to me).

@Scobleizer I’m not talking about technical capabilities. I’m talking about the potential veto to allow GPT-powered apps on an app store. For example because they can generate offensive, violent, sexual content and the safety measure in place can be circumvented easily.
