Not sure I buy that this perfectionist approach is the best in terms of ROI. Returns might be higher but investments disproportionately more so. I hear your frustration about the quality of the work. But you also need to account for the way lower costs to reach this level of quality. If it's good enough, so what...

What's their beta?

Re continuous fine-tuning: how do you avoid catastrophic forgetting in your proposal?

My understanding is that this is what the LoRAs are for; my belief is that they serve as "memory" to their live observations (a more NN-like cache, say), while the main LLM remains unchanged. These LoRAs are also weighted, so that LoRAs irrelevant to the current task will not be trained, while the relevant LoRAs will be reinforced.

But I never built it, so I am not sure if such an emergent state will appear or not.

With more sophisticated schemes being deployed on a regular basis, we have chosen to go public with our own experience in the hope that it raises awareness of an increasingly common criminal trend.”

I don't get the announcement. Is this included in the standard 5 or 20x Max plans?

Very interesting observation. Wondering if anyone ever analyzed the underlying "culture" of LLMs and what this would mean for international users.

Obviously you want AI to do your job, so you should accept the result and not coauthor it.

Mostly yes but not entirely. Undernutrition and disease can affect brain development, unfortunately.
