My new obsession is asking DALL-E 3 for diagrams of complicated things.
This is "please create a clearly labeled diagram of how reverse genetics works"

this is wild — kNN using a gzip-based distance metric outperforms BERT and other neural methods for OOD sentence classification
intuition: 2 texts similar if cat-ing one to the other barely increases gzip size
no training, no tuning, no params — this is the entire algorithm:
![for (x1, _) in test_set:
Cx1 = len(gzip.compress(x1.encode()))
distance_from_x1 = []
for (x2, _) in training_set:
Cx2 = len(gzip.compress(x2. encode())
x1x2 = " ".join([x1, x2])
Cx1x2 = len(gzip.compress(x1x2. encode())
ncd = (Cx1x2 - min(Cx1,Cx2)) / max(Cx1, Cx2)
distance_from_x1.append(ncd)
sorted_idx = np.argsort(np.array(distance_from_x1))
top_k_class = training_set[sorted_idx[:k], 1]
predict_class = max(set(top_k_class), key=top_k_class.count)](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F05HxqsWwAAHRCI.jpg?name=small&format=webp)

ChatGPT with Code Interpreter: "Show me the single most original thing you can do with code. Be very creative. Do something the world has never seen, and not just a variation on existing work like cellular automata or a fractal"
Each time a different, seemingly creative, output

Here is a DoNotPay GPT-4 bot negotiating with the New York Times to cancel my subscription.
It is ridiculous you have to chat with a customer service agent to cancel.
Fortunately, A.I. will end dark patterns, because it doesn’t give up as easily as a human!

standard ml: oh no my model is memorizing the training set, better add some regularization to make that not happen
llm ml: ugh it’s hallucinating, why can’t it just memorize some of the training set

"Language Models Can Teach Themselves to Program Better"
This paper changed my thinking about what future langauge models will be good at, mostly in a really concerning way. Let's start with some context: [1/11]

This prompt is an interesting & fun way to ask #gpt3 for related topics.

I'm fascinated by the possibility to connect seemingly opposite concepts with each other.

Just got my #dalle2 access & I wanted to test its limits. The quality just blows me away.
Even complex tasks as this work:

Tip for gaming NeurIPS reviewer psyche:
Exclude largest experiment from initial submission & save it for rebuttal. Reviewers always ask for larger experiment.
We submitted paper with 10^15 parameter model trained on all of YouTube, & reviewer still asked for larger experiment.
