Seems like we’re in a new phase of GPT-4 hype-cycle – sobriety. Re-evaluation of GPT-4’s performance on the Uniform Bar Exam shows much less impressive results than OpenAI’s initial marketing push https://t.co/eBfcRvPxRe

Interesting debunking analysis of the new hot paper about gpt-4 ability to solve all MIT exams.
A recent work from @iddo claimed GPT4 can score 100% on MIT's EECS curriculum with the right prompting. My friends and I were excited to read the analysis behind such a feat, but after digging deeper, what we found left us surprised and disappointed. https://t.co/mpDqlenk04 🧵

Neural nets are often thought of as feature extractors. But what features are neurons in LLMs actually extracting? In our new paper, we leverage sparse probing to find out https://t.co/hZkFK6aI38. A 🧵:

Spatial light modulators. Empathetic robots. Gig worker empowerment. In a recent showcase, Khoury College's research apprentices discussed not only their findings, but their futures, and the problems they're bent on solving. Read more below. https://t.co/3qVkglE98X

Gathering opinions around the EA twitter-sphere on the whole SBF-EA situation; Feels like a deep dive into a pool of rumors and hot takes. Is Twitter always like this?

@JeffLadish This tweet feels like the right mix of inflammatory and vague to be uninformative, unfalsifiable, and useful as ammo for anyone wanting to blanket condemn EAs :/

It's premature, and indicates bias, when people rush to exonerate before all the evidence is in. We're still getting to the "who knew what, when" part of the scandal.
A few thoughts on SBF, FTX, and Effective Altruism: 1) Until the current crisis, I think it was reasonable for EAs to look up to SBF and think FTX was hugely net good. SBF intentionally making a huge fortune to then donate to EA causes was ambitious and awesome...

A witty and relevant take on the pro-life / pro-choice debate from Joshua Greene’s “Moral Tribes”. From the consequentialist perspective though, pro-choice position makes more sense, if you value not making more people suffer. #DefendRoe

Эпидемия меняет мораль: ответственность за других становится важнее, чем права человека. Но в тех обществах, где и права человека — не аксиома, убедить граждан сидеть на карантине — еще труднее....

That’s what COVID does. Gives us a check for phonies in governments, workplaces and any places of power around the world.
