This is a game that tests your ability to predict ("forecast") how well GPT-4 will perform at various types of questions. (In caase you've been living under a rock these last few months, GPT-4 is a state-of-the-art "AI" language model that can solve all kinds of tasks.)

Many people speak very confidently about what capabilities large language models do and do not have (and sometimes even could or could never have). I get the impression that most people who make such claims don't even know what current models can do. So: put yourself to the test.

 

Increasingly powerful AI systems are being released at an increasingly rapid pace. This week saw the debut of Claude 2, likely the second most capable AI system available to the public. The week before, Open AI released Code Interpreter, the most sophisticated mode of AI yet available. The week before that, some AIs got the ability to see images.

And yet not a single AI lab seems to have provided any user documentation. Instead, the only user guides out there appear to be Twitter influencer threads. Documentation-by-rumor is a weird choice for organizations claiming to be concerned about proper use of their technologies, but here we are.

As of July 3, 2023, we’ve disabled the Browse with Bing beta feature out of an abundance of caution while we fix this in order to do right by content owners. We are working to bring the beta back as quickly as possible, and appreciate your understanding!

TIL. Thank you! (Now I will ssh into all my VPSes and set this up!)

(cool username btw)

 

Announcement

The bot I announced in this thread is now ready for a limited beta release.

You can see an example summary it wrote here.

How to Use AutoTLDR

  • Just mention it ("@" + "AutoTLDR") in a comment or post, and it will generate a summary for you.
  • If mentioned in a comment, it will try to summarize the parent comment, but if there is no parent comment, it will summarize the post itself.
  • If the parent comment contains a link, or if the post is a link post, it will summarize the content at that link.
  • If there is no link, it will summarize the text of the comment or post itself.
  • 🔒 If you include the #nobot hashtag in your profile, it will not summarize anything posted by you.

Beta limitations

How to try it

  • If you want to test the bot, write a long comment, or include a link in a comment in this thread, and then, in a reply comment, mention the bot.
  • Feel free to test it and try to break it in this thread. Please report any weird behavior you encounter in a PM to me (NOT the bot).
  • You can also use it for its designated purpose anywhere in the AUAI community.

  1. Only on programming.dev, at least in the beginning, but it will be open source so anyone will be able to host it for themselves.
  2. I set up a hard limit of 100 summaries per day to limit costs. This way it won’t go over $20/month. I hope I will be able to increase it later.

Although I prefer the Pro Git book, it's clear that different resources are helpful to different people. For those looking to get an understanding of Git, I've linked to Git for Beginners: Zero to Hero 🐙

The author of "Git for Beginners: Zero to Hero 🐙" posted the following on Reddit:

Hey there folks!

I've rewritten the git tutorial. I've used over the years whenever newbies at work and friends come to me with complex questions but lack the git basics to actually learn.

After discussing my git shortcuts and aliases elsewhere and over DMs it was suggested to me that I share it here.

I hope it helps even a couple of y'all looking to either refresh, jumpstart or get a good grasp of how common git concepts relate to one another !

It goes without saying, that any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated 👍

TL;DR: re-wrote a git tutorial that has helped friends and colleagues better grasp of git https://jdsalaro.com/blog/git-tutorial/

EDIT:

I've been a bit overwhelmed by the support and willingness to provide feedback, so I've enabled hypothes.is on https://jdsalaro.com for /u/NervousQuokka and anyone else wanting chime in. You can now highlight and comment snippets. ⚠️ Please join the feedback@jdsalaro group via this link https://hypothes.is/groups/BrRxenZW/feedback-jdsalaro so any highlights, comments, and notes are visible to me and stay nicely grouped. Using hypothes.is for this is an experiment for me, so let's see how it goes :)

From the “About” section:

goblin.tools is a collection of small, simple, single-task tools, mostly designed to help neurodivergent people with tasks they find overwhelming or difficult.

Most tools will use AI technologies in the back-end to achieve their goals. Currently this includes OpenAI's models. As the tools and backend improve, the intent is to move to an open source alternative.

The AI models used are general purpose models, and so the accuracy of their output can vary. Nothing returned by any of the tools should be taken as a statement of truth, only guesswork. Please use your own knowledge and experience to judge whether the result you get is valid.

It is definitely possible, at least for videos that have a transcript. There are tools to download the transcript which can be fed into an LLM to be summarized.

I tried it here with excellent results: https://programming.dev/post/158037 - see the post description!

See also the conversation: https://chat.openai.com/share/b7d6ac4f-0756-4944-802e-7c63fbd7493f

I used GPT-4 for this post, which is miles ahead of GPT-3.5, but it would be prohibitively expensive (for me) to use it for a publicly available bot. I also asked it to generate a longer summary with subheadings instead of a TLDR.

The real question is if it is legal to programmatically download video transcripts this way. But theoretically it is entire possible, even easy.

Don't worry, I couldn't get past LVL 4 either after lots of trying. It's pretty annoying to read that so many people got to level 7 in the Hacker News thread...:D

I think it gets rotated because you took it with your phone and it added a “logical rotation” to the image file which Lemmy can’t handle correctly. (I’ve looked it up and it’s called EXIF orientation metadata.)

See: https://web.archive.org/web/20201204011853/https://www.impulseadventure.com/photo/exif-orientation.html

I’m sure there is an online tool you can use to convert the logical rotation to physical.
