<p>Just because you can't run it doesn't mean it wouldn't be useful. This likely will give insight on the kind of modelling, experiments, goal function, deployment methods, resiliency etc. And you could easily reverse engineer policy decision with code(IMO), but other way is not possible.</p>

<p>Long form messaging like letters is close to dead due to the effect of telephone and SMS.<p>Internet eliminated the need to go to library to find information.<p>Hell, even books/writing changed the way people acquired and stored information and people no longer needed to be present in the university. Plato was against writing in a time when writing was just becoming accessible in a widespread way, and in just 2000 years we literally can't imagine a world without writing.</p>

<p>I think the biggest value would be products tracking users, just as it currently is, like Google, Facebook etc. If assuming AI could learn from low quality data like humans could now, these companies have a huge dataset consisting of multiple GBs per living person that is available to them now including (verified) human written texts, search history, browsing history, video call logs/transcripts, translation transcripts etc.<p>In future company could even pay users to get access to their keyboard and mic to get the data that is verified to be human.</p>

<p>From the paper<p>> We tested GPT-4 on a diverse set of benchmarks, including simulating exams that were originally designed for humans.3 We did no specific training for these exams. A minority of the problems in the exams were seen by the model during training; for each exam we run a variant with these questions
removed and report the lower score of the two. We believe the results to be representative. For further details on contamination (methodology and per-exam statistics), see Appendix C.</p>

    The first man on the moon was 38 years old.

    And that's when we were ready to land a ship of our own crew in outer space again, as opposed to just sending out probes or things like Skylab which is only designed for one trip and then they have to be de-orbited into some random spot on earth somewhere (not even hitting the water)

    Warren Buffet has donated over $20 billion since 1978. His net worth today stands at more than a half trillion dollars ($53 Billiard). He's currently living in Omaha, NE as opposed to his earlier home of New York City/Berkshire Mountains area and he still lives like nothing changed except for being able to spend $20 billion.

<p>> It would be idiotic to further disrupt their operations for no reason.<p>Tech has the worst P/E ratio, even big tech. It is fine if the value is inflated for disruption and future growth, else the valuation should be less than half of what it currently is if we say $1 of tech profit is equal to $1 of any other profit.</p>

<p>My assumption was that ISP couldn't get big cost saving by restricting some sites. I think this assumption is valid as by definition the websites that consumes most of the data are popular sites, and I don't think ISP would touch that due to reputational harm. And banning few of the tail end of the sites wouldn't allow ISPs to reduce the cost by any margin.</p>

<p>The code is already sent to github and hosting provider. We just have to trust that multi billion dollar companies have more to loose by using our code. And most of the codes that people work with is not rocket science, so unless openai directly sells the code to the competitor, the potential losses is likely not big.</p>

<p>If there is competition, which ISP would you select? One that works with most of the sites or one that works with all sites? And if enough people selects the latter, and assuming blocking small percentage of site doesn't give big monetary gain to the ISP, there is no reason for ISP to behave the way you said in the example.</p>
