This essay by Ted Chiang is really good and makes many points I agree with. newyorker.com/culture/the-we… Note that it is possible to say this while also thinking that LLMs and diffusion models are amazing technical breakthroughs that will (eventually) revolutionize society. It's about seeing the technology for what it is, and finding the right use cases. Right now, it feels like we're at a stage similar to when people tried to sell personal computers in the early 1980s with the argument that they could help you organize your recipe collection.



When people talk about which jobs or job functions could be replaced by AI systems, they often think about what AI systems could produce or which problems they solve. But very many human jobs are about taking decisions and taking responsibility for those decisions.

What if we set GPT-4 free in Minecraft? ⛏️ I’m excited to announce Voyager, the first lifelong learning agent that plays Minecraft purely in-context. Voyager continuously improves itself by writing, refining, committing, and retrieving *code* from a skill library. GPT-4 unlocks a new paradigm: “training” is code execution rather than gradient descent. “Trained model” is a codebase of skills that Voyager iteratively composes, rather than matrices of floats. We are pushing no-gradient architecture to its limit. Voyager rapidly becomes a seasoned explorer. In Minecraft, it obtains 3.3× more unique items, travels 2.3× longer distances, and unlocks key tech tree milestones up to 15.3× faster than prior methods. We open-source everything. Let generalist agents emerge in Minecraft! Welcome you all to try today: voyager.minedojo.org Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2305.16291 Code: github.com/MineDojo/Voyag… Deep dive with me: 🧵


i hate having ADHD. i hate feeling constantly overwhelmed by small tasks that i know are easily accomplished by other people. things that shouldn't be hard are so hard all of the time and i really wish my brain wasn't like this
