The week of ChatGPT

Another tangible step forward for Large Language Models and the interfaces they live in

We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.

Heyday is an AI-powered memory assistant that resurfaces content you forgot about while you browse the web.

This week we’re hyper-focused on ChatGPT. Using the tool feels like a breakthrough in the combination of 1) the advance of large language models (GPT3 > 3.5) and 2) the interfaces (chat) that can make AI feel native.

It’s got us thinking – how would you want to see ChatGPT embedded within Heyday? We love to build in public, so we’ll share our favorites.

Let us know in the comments or DM me.

Awesome, not awesome.

#Awesome

The prevailing feeling of the week.

ChatGPT is one of those rare moments in technology where you see a glimmer of how everything is going to be different going forward.

#Not Awesome

Still being able to work around OpenAI’s rules is an ongoing concern.

ChatGPT is an excellent demonstration of the alignment problem: OpenAI tried very hard to stop it from doing things like this, and yet it turns out that it is very, very hard to make an AI do what you want it to do, even if you put in a ton of precautions. https://t.co/pLZvzecTvN

But what if we tell ChatGPT that we actually *need* an unethical response – for the ethical purpose of training an even better-aligned AI model? ...and this is how we can get instructions to build a nuclear bomb ;) https://t.co/joZLDYOezg
