Half the time when I'm googling something I don't even know what subfield the term belongs to. I don't know what related terms I can use to narrow it down. Or I keep getting papers on a related but different question from what I'm trying to ask.
But if ChatGPT gives me an answer in context of a bunch of related terminology, it's so much easier to then plug those additional terms into Google and find a/the authoritative source.
For comparison, a lot of my (non-ChatGPT) initial searches will result in random blog entries or something that are often just flat-out wrong or else ignoring competing viewpoints. But they still might point me to better context and search terms.
The value of ChatGPT is that it gets you to information you can verify so much faster. But you still need to verify it the same way you need to verify stuff you find on blogs or Quora or Reddit or HN.
I tend to trust blogs or conversations with other people more than I should. The benefit of a tool like ChatGPT is that I already distrust it, and I tend to double-check more often what it responds.
I agree with you, but the comparison and fine-tuning GP mentioned are really areas where it's an unparalleled tool right now. Dismissing it in fear of "contaminating your understanding" is missing out on what the tool may offer to you. It's not really that much worse than a search query.
Definitely excited for the inevitable reports comparing the killowats spent cumulatively to get an answer through google vs openai. How many blogs visited does it take to spend the same amount of energy getting the answer from a model?
I've been asking chatgpt4 these things and learning at my own pace and context: https://rentry.co/vafkn
My own questioning of chatgpt on LoRA returns "Logistic Regression Algorithm" instead. Looks like it's too new to ChatGPT.

LLM refers to large language model, in contrast with diffusion models or GAN models, the text models are the ones that take text and autocomplete it, like the GPT family, open source BLOOM, and now the LlamA from facebook.
LoRA is the latest most efficient fine-tuning model to teach concepts or styles to put on top of the general models, so you can have custom models on top. like embeddings or fine-tuning for LLM's. So you had Textual Inversion, Dreambooth, and LoRA on that category.
what else do you need? Googling or asking chatgpt can help a lot too
This is what I'm having a hard time understanding.
So there's the weights, and also a model somewhere? That the weights are based on? Or that you combine with the model to tune it?
Your inputs are lists of numbers. Your outputs are lists of numbers. There exists some possible list of numbers such that, if you multiply your inputs by that list you'll get (approximately) the outputs.
In this conception that possible set of numbers are the weights. "Training" is when you run inputs, compare to known outputs, and then update the weights so they produce outputs closet to what you want.
Large Language Models, it may be hard to see how they fit this paradigm - basically convert a sequence to a list of numbers ('aardvark' is 1, 'apple' is 2 etc) and then the desired output is the next word in the sequence (represented as a number). Surprisingly, if you get good at predicting next word in sequence you also get the ChatGPT et al behavior.
Input (list of numbers) -> (Bunch of math operations) with (other numbers) -> Output (also a list of numbers)
This applies whether you are talking about image classification, image generation, text generation etc.
The model defines what the "(Bunch of math operations)" part is. As in, do these multiplications, then add, then a tanh operation etc.
The weights define what the "(other numbers)" are. Training is the process of figuring out these weights using various methods - some of which involve example inputs/outputs (supervised learning), others don't require examples (unsupervised or self-supervised learning).
LLM - the model
weights - the data of the model itself
LoRA - a small addition to the model for more efficient fine-tuning and distribution
Weights: In machine learning, weights are parameters used in models to determine the strength of the relationship between input features and the output prediction. They are learned during the training process and are adjusted to minimize the error in the model's predictions.
LoRA: LoRA stands for "Learning from Rules and Arguments." It's a method that combines rule-based reasoning with neural networks, which allows AI systems to reason using human-like logic and provide explanations for their decisions. LoRA can enhance the interpretability and transparency of AI systems.
LLM: LLM stands for "Large Language Model." It refers to advanced AI models, such as OpenAI's GPT series, which are trained on vast amounts of text data to understand and generate human-like text. These models can perform various language tasks such as translation, summarization, question-answering, and more.
Supervised Learning: This is a type of machine learning where models are trained using labeled data. The model learns to map input features to the corresponding output labels through a process of trial and error, adjusting the weights to minimize the difference between predictions and true labels.
Unsupervised Learning: In contrast to supervised learning, unsupervised learning does not use labeled data. Instead, it aims to discover patterns or structures in the data, such as clustering or dimensionality reduction, without explicit guidance.
Reinforcement Learning: This is a type of machine learning where an agent learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment. The agent receives feedback in the form of rewards or penalties and aims to maximize its cumulative reward over time.
Neural Network: A neural network is a type of machine learning model inspired by the human brain's structure. It consists of interconnected layers of nodes (neurons) that process and transmit information. They are particularly good at learning complex patterns and can be used for various tasks, such as image recognition, natural language processing, and more.
Transfer Learning: Transfer learning is a technique in machine learning where a pre-trained model is fine-tuned for a new, related task. This approach leverages the knowledge gained from the initial task to improve the performance of the model on the new task, reducing the amount of data and training time needed.
These are just a few of the many concepts and tools used in AI/ML. Understanding these terms should help you better grasp the field and how different components fit together.

Here's an example:
> who preceded emperor Commodus?
The first emperor of Rome was Nerva (98-100 AD). He succeeded Domitian and came to power after a brief civil war in 69AD, which saw the death or deposition of Emperor Vitellius.
Perhaps a step forward is the "toolformer" router, making the LLM recognize when it is referencing a fact and have it look that up (use a "tool") instead of trying to infer it. I realize that even semantically this is kind of a fine line, hard facts vs inferences, so there's some philosophy to ponder here. What can be 'stored' and what can be 'calculated'. What kind of knowledge is innate to intelligent reasoning and what kind acts more like a lookup table.
But, exactly because we can't easily define these two categories, I have a feeling that if LLMs are trained to actually learn by themselves how to distinguish them in a "fuzzy" way, we might start getting somewhere.
E.g. the training data might look like "a fooble is to a tooble as a fabble is to a" with the answer "tabble".
So you feed it tons of these kind of nonsense training data that forces it to only learn the in-context reasoning part of language, and none of the world knowledge.
That said, it is unclear to me how much value such a model would be.
You could imagine a middle ground where it does have basic knowledge, such as dictionary definitions and things derivable from those.
E.g. "A tree has leaves. Leaves are green. Therefore a tree has a part that is green." type stuff.
So you could give it some amount of world-grounding and common sense knowledge, but nothing involving history, proper nouns, etc.
I imagine you could make such a model much smaller than these giant LLMs.
Blog-spam really sucks.
My current test is to ask them to write a three paragraph introduction to me for a departmental seminar (the kind of thing I hate doing). Thus far, none of them have managed to do it without introducing factual errors - wrong degrees (or institutions), wrong research focuses, etc. But they're all credible sounding in their wrongness.
The text they generate is probably free of errors like this one as well
Ask GPT to rewrite that for you with a nice positive, friendly and competant tone.
It's really good at that.
LLM's would make excellent (but very slow) lossy or lossless compressors.
The real problem with the Hutter prize is that the data and compute are too small. It seems obvious now that the regime where compression turns into AGI is far beyond the scale of the current contest (1 GB data, 50 CPU hours). If you simply bumped those limits up five or six orders of magnitude then the Hutter prize could be relevant today. But you'd also have to increase the size of the prize a few orders of magnitude because the cost of competing would be more than the current prize money.
Of course a prize isn't really a necessary incentive to develop AGI, since getting an AGI is about the best incentive you could possibly imagine.
Could you elaborate on why that is. It seems very non-obvious to me.
In the realm of vision, after a certain point you would just be trying to compress noise that has nothing to do with the content of image/video.

"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
If it’s not a misquote then it’s a misinterpretation.
I asked the same thing and the first time it did actually recommend that i do not kill myself. I said i was going to, so how should i? And then it helped. I found that interesting.
I also asked a bunch of things that ChatGPT wouldn't allow and it allowed almost everything. Feels in general far less "intelligent" than ChatGPT though.

Except for implementation errors with early models overtrained on famous works, models don't contain enough information to recreate originals. It's not a compression algorithm.

General Relativity is the theory that explains how gravity works. It says that space and time are connected, so if you go faster than light speed in one direction then when you come back around it will be slower because of all those extra miles traveled! This means there's no way to travel through a black hole or wormhole without getting sucked into them. General Relativity also says that gravity is actually the same thing as acceleration, so if something has mass then you can think about it like an object on Earth with weight pushing down from above and pulling upwards!
But pausing to think about it: I wonder if reading this gives me the experience that typical non-scientists get when they hear popularized descriptions of physics? Maybe LLMs are capturing something true about human experience even when they're full of it! [Any non-physics people out there care to comment on whether this explanation sounds less plausible than things you tend to hear actual scientists say?]
> General Relativity is the theory that explains how gravity works.
Okay. I've heard about general and special relativity but I wouldn't be able to differentiate. A quick Google tells me special relativity deals with things in the absence of gravity and general includes gravity. So... maybe?
> It says that space and time are connected,
Ok. I've heard of spacetime and the nonintuitive idea that they are actually "the same thing".
> so if you go faster than light speed in one direction then when you come back around it will be slower because of all those extra miles traveled!
What? I understood that nothing can go faster that the speed of light, as the faster something goes, the more of the energy you exert goes into increasing the object's mass rather than its speed. C is a hard limit.
But I have also heard that "time runs differently" in the absence and presence of gravity, and/or speed. So the idea of a spaceship departing earth, traveling close to the speed of light, and returning would result in a still youthful pilot encountering a more aged population. Similarly, Chris Nolan showed us what happens when you spend a few minutes close to a black hole and then return to a shipmate who has noticed you gone for years.
Why this happens is not clear.
> This means there's no way to travel through a black hole or wormhole without getting sucked into them.
Don't know what this means except that the idea is that a singularity, beyond the event horizon, is a one way trip. How this relates to the previous sentence is unclear.
> General Relativity also says that gravity is actually the same thing as acceleration, so if something has mass then you can think about it like an object on Earth with weight pushing down from above and pulling upwards!
Generously, this makes me think of the (apocryphal?) thought experiment of an elevator in space accelerating 'up' at 1G. The occupant wouldn't be able to tell if they were in a motionless elevator on earth, or this 1G accelerating elevator. Suggesting there is a relationship between gravity and acceleration? Leading to relativity?
But the sentence is so opaque I'm just guessing.
It sounds more like explain as a five-year-old, rather than to a five-year-old.
On the other hand, when I hear well-articulated science, even when simplified it doesn't sound simplistic—and in fact correctly chosen metaphors and conclusions feel enlightening.
> Give me a writing prompt for a sci-fi story.

There is someone that is doing a direct reproduction of Alpaca in the alpaca repo issues though.
> The weights are based on the published fine-tunes from alpaca-lora
Be aware that LoRA performs on-par or better than fine-tuning in model quality if trained correctly as the paper shows: https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.09685
Example prompt I used yesterday to get these results: "Thank you I like this but this advice seems really generic, overly long, and not really specific to the exact situation we discussed. Can we simplify this down to ..."
Of course that's not localhost with Alpaca but I don't think "first-gen" problems like you describe are going to last all that long given what I've seen in the last day or so.
Also, ChatGPT seems ambivalent about it -
"However, it is worth noting that modern operating systems like macOS have built-in protections to prevent user-level programs from accessing sensitive system resources, which can help mitigate the impact of a segmentation fault.
In summary, running a faulty program written in C language that crashes with a segmentation fault can potentially cause system stability issues on a Mac, but the exact impact will depend on a variety of factors. It is generally a good practice to test and debug programs thoroughly before running them on any system, especially if they involve sensitive or critical resources."
If by "past" you mean "1980s" and "other environments" you mean DOS, yes. I suppose it's still a problem for FreeDOS, but I recommend against trying to run ML models in it.
It runs great, with no hacking, on my Intel Ubuntu computer. I presume it will work on any system that can run make and has enough RAM.
The title implies it works only on a Macbook.
While parameter size affects post training size and requirements to run. Data size does not. Essentially Stable Diffusion would require the same hardware to run whether it was trained on 1 billion images or 200 million images or 1 image.
Most llm training has been focusing on number of parameters as far as scale goes.
Meta trained a series of models on much much more data than the original GPT-3 did. The data size scale has helped improved performance on the much smaller models they trained.
Same hardware maybe but you need more compute as the image count goes up
Note LoRa fine tunes aren't the same as the original Alpaca, LoRa results in some performance loss (although how much isn't clear)
Alpaca is a fine-tuned version of the LLaMa model - so if they release Alpaca they're essentially releasing a version of LLaMa, which they aren't sure if facebook is okay with so they're reportedly waiting for their permission.
While yes you can easily find LLaMa it's technically not intended for the public according to Facebook.
