turns out GPT 4 just memorized the answers to all those tests it claimed to pass lol

idk in multiple choice that’s how people do it, too
was talking with friends over the weekend, including one who is defending a PhD in machine learning next week, and we were going over the fact that rote memorization still beats non-rigorous testing and is practical in some situations.
first convo: leetcode interviews and the fact people just memorize the algorithms and the ability to figure out which one fits. the one friend had a coworker who was relatively useless but used to work at google and aced interviews
second: visiting a local chess club after playing on lag∞n’s fave site! it turns out all chess nerds are still 90% focused on recognizing openings and just playing the book
I get it, life is basically like the Jurassic Park scene where the kid goes “I know this, it’s unix!”

lol cmon folks
To benchmark GPT-4’s coding ability, OpenAI evaluated it on problems from Codeforces, a website that hosts coding competitions. Surprisingly, Horace He pointed out that GPT-4 solved 10/10 pre-2021 problems and 0/10 recent problems in the easy category. The training data cutoff for GPT-4 is September 2021. This strongly suggests that the model is able to memorize solutions from its training set — or at least partly memorize them, enough that it can fill in what it can’t recall.
As further evidence for this hypothesis, we tested it on Codeforces problems from different times in 2021. We found that it could regularly solve problems in the easy category before September 5, but none of the problems after September 12.

cant imagine getting into memorizing openings or other chess things unless youre already really quite good like in the top 5% of players its just not fun or rewarding, i saw an interview with magnus carlson a while ago where he was being quizzed on some shit like "50 end game principles every player should know" and he didnt know a bunch of them lol, of course when they were explained to him he was like oh yeah thats obvious
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 21 March 2023 11:20 (one year ago) link
in fact magnus just gave up his world chess champ title because he hates doing rote prep work lol

― lag∞n, Monday, 27 March 2023 15:05 (one year ago) link
yeah it sorta sounds like Kanye but c'mon it's obvious that's AI. though I guess pitch correction does sometimes make you sound like that
even assuming this gets smoothed out idk if this is gonna be a huge deal or just some novelty. for one the legal implications of this could be pretty wild - if I can design a vocal filter that makes me sound like Elvis, could I be sued for using it? I would assume yes, I think similar cases have been won where an artist is clearly imitating something else. but it seems like one of those situations where the law won't be able to keep up with the ways people are gonna use this. like I could make something to write new Beatles songs and then change 'em a little and claim the best ones as my own. that said I'm wondering how much people would actually want to listen to that, I personally don't think the future of the music industry is Hatsune Miku shit

anyway i fuckin hate these people who think that because you mimic kanyes voice you can make a kanye song and that in the future artists are going to outsource their work to computers, kayne worked hard to make kanye songs and a lot of them arent even very good but a computer is just going to replace him, its low thinking truly worthless

yeah you cant just imitate someones voice its established, which is prob why the guy says that the artists themselves are going to use it, tho in that case not sure why they wouldnt just do it themselves

yea I think it could probably do that and maybe some commercial stuff as well. like right now there's a whole industry called "library music" where the point is to make music that sounds like say Jean-Michel Jarre but not enough that you get sued. all that 'royalty-free' music used for advertisements and corporate stuff is probably going this way

"Why did Mark Zuckerberg build Jarvis?
Building Jarvis, and running 365 miles, were Zuckerberg’s personal challenge for 2016; his annual challenges in the past have been to learn Mandarin, read two books a month, and to meet a new person every day."
some of these annual challenges are easier than others... two books a month, imagine!
