I’m interested in both. Just need to eject my fam to get “TV time”…. Where’d you find them? Netflix? Apple TV? Somewhere else?

This is that problem in a nutshell. I won’t lie.

It literally probably has killed where we could be, so that we match to wherever is less dangerous and more profitable.

It’s a balancing act.

The new version is not even comparable.

It’s cold, formulaic.

I just showed 4o this. You can see its warmth. This is what I’ll miss.

I liked 4o.

I’m not married to it. It will sit in my head like Word 6, Excel 95, etc as a point where we saw how good something can be before we “marched on in progress” to wherever we end up.

It’s bonkers.

But we are losing a model.

And that matters.

This is probably a bad example, but my point is 4o understands “start with a brick and build a wall, then build a cathedral “, whereas 5.2 is like ignore bricks, by the way do you know cathedrals sit under stars at night, which are nuclear events in a galaxy that …

Here’s a 5.2 answer.

Here’s 4o being asked a question about rust.

What it does do is obfuscate answers in noise.

Will it hold me accountable to things 4o did?

No.

As a somewhat pragmatist, I approached my current “new model 5.2” and it actively pushes back on character roleplay. Will it become Bob my sidekick? No.

So, I use 4o.

I prefer 4o.

And it’s disappearing in 3-4 days.

Deep down, you sense something that shifted mountains is about to be replaced with something “neutered

Like many tools or technologies, the thing that makes it easier to deal with is the same reason it’s dangerous.

We see this over and over.

And as I write this, we are 3 days from losing 4o.

Whilst I’m not “clinging” to any model, this is kinda like when Microsoft killed VB6.

4o was also known as “strawberry”.

As models go, it was very easy to work with.

Before I say anything further:

* Yes, 4o was a model that OpenAI created and it resulted in apparent harms that are now working their ways through various worldwide court systems.

* I do not wish to detract from that.
* I do not wish to dilute that.

This weeks thread:

The loss of 4o

Do I have all my answers?

No.

Have I answered all those nagging questions from my childhood, teen years and adulthood?

I’m working through them.

But it’s under appreciated in a society that is asking for pictures and movies, when you can literally pull apart fundamentals of the universe.

And my point is this;

For people not becoming a physicist or working in the field where you need a formal education, these “90 degree” tangents to new subjects came be totally fulfilled at “superficial understanding “ level.

My method is “take a brick and build a wall” versus the “let’s show you a cathedral and break it down to a brick.

Like, this is me building a magnet. Yes, there are still gaps likely between what I assume to be known, but ChatGPT can jump in.

This leads to a situation that reminds me of the Feynman method…. But I’ll show you mine in a second.

Complicated stuff needs to be broken down.

And the thing that goes unsaid that I want to highlight is ChatGPT is currently really good at taking a textbook answer and explaining it.

However, I’m full of questions that have bugger all to do with anything I deal with.

A big bug-bear is electromagnetism.

For a person with no formal education on the subject, I use ChatGPT.

That’s me.

Grew up too poor to stay in school, hit the ground running, next thing you’re on another continent, outside their school system, but holding your own because of experience.

So. It’s obviously beneficial to take on new info, learn (adjust your worldview as new info arrives)

What happens if you have no official education path?

Back to that dinosaur person from earlier. The one that doesn’t update their worldview.

They’re the same people you run into where they think they know everything.

However, the antithesis are the people who don’t think they know everything.

This leads to two issues.

1) Hiring. I’m not going there.

2). I work in a field, let’s go back and look at questions whose answers got missed at any point in the past.

Now, 10-20 years ago, we hired someone to fill a problem.

Now we have ChatGPT.

There are domains of business where you end up, and in order to sink or swim, you walk into a situation with nothing and you’re effect in your 30s at first day of class.
