We’ll all be on universal basic income. I think there is a post in openai where Sam Altman is talking about our utopian future and his examples of how and why it’s gonna be so great are “increased material wealth” however in openai website they state specifically that one of the major perks for being a non-profit is they can go ahead and test drive universal basic if they want, so what he’s really saying is, “we’re about to be stupid loaded” then he lists the benefits for normies “cured disease, status, drama, create and we’re gonna help find ways to do that” he also plugs something about “feeling useful” so the implication being no useful. I’ve already hashed this with chatgpt basically the system and the user will be almost indistinguishable except for the needed input to create better products and services for the user.

So ya know, you can retire but our uptime is looking like 100%. They better make me really comfy and my experience better be Bliss. I will take the blue pill ok, but only if it’s amazing… so I’m counting on my elite overlords to deliver

You would think that GPT would have discovered a general purpose way to multiply numbers, but it really hasn’t, and it isn’t accurate even with chain-of-thought prompting.

I just asked GPT4 to solve this: 87176363 times 198364

The right answer should be 17292652070132 according to wolfram alpha.

According to GPT4 the answer is 17,309,868,626,012.

This is the prompt I used:

What is 87176363 times 198364? Think of the problem step by step and give me an exact answer.

Yes, but we are interested in its general purpose multiplication abilities. If it remembers the results, that's nice, but we can't expect it to do that for every single pair of numbers. And then, what about multiplication with 3 factors? We should start thinking of ways around this limitation.
