He lost his chat logs. I was going to mock him him for not backing up his work but I’m not sure I want to punch down on someone who considers his LLM chat logs research.
Nah, that’s fucking stupid on his part and he should 100% know better.
Same for me but the reason is different
… I don’t want to punch down someone for not using backups while I probably have a lot stored on sites and ready to be wiped accidentally
He basically deleted them
ChatGPT’s chat history isn’t “carefully structured academic work”.
He basically used the 0/0/0 backup strategy, with not even one instance of his data saved anywhere.As someone who knows a decent bit about machine learning, I can say Dr. Collier seems to know very little of how it works on a technical level, which presents such a beautiful contrast when I’m watching her be fucking dead-on about its societal consequences. Seeing someone who isn’t familiar with the field but still knows what they’re talking about is so cathartic in a subject strewn with misconceptions from laypeople. Angela’s integrity is really admirable; you can tell that critical thinking is a virtue to her and that she takes a lot of care not to overstep into areas she doesn’t understand.
Did you write this comment yourself?
I always do. I write as a hobby, and I’m not stuck here, so I don’t see why I’d be here if I didn’t give enough of a shit to write what I want.
“Scientist”
“Ay GPT, research this shit for me.”
He disabled the feature because he “wanted to see whether I would still have access to all of the model’s functions if I did not provide OpenAI with my data.”
Well I guess you found out
He should write a paper about it.
But now you can also question the validity of his papers, the validity of his educational value in general, and, if you do research, the safety issues of having no contingency plans in case an hypothesis fails…
The modern day version of “the dog ate my homework!”.
Back your shit up!
I eat a lot of cheese. My shit is already backed up.
lól
An accent!? On my “lot of laughter”!?
