‘How do you feel about climate change?’

I noticed some odd results when switching from "today" view to "this week" view. Maybe they take into account some hidden parameters like diversity of the audience, time distribution, reputation, or maybe they have an odd definition of "week" like last 7 days vs Sun to Sat. If a project doesn't show up maybe the underlying ranking suspects foul play.

same here, we’ll be watching for variations of avg humanity IQ, with very big differences between the impact on kids, adults and elders

what you’re probably looking for is becoming an AI app developer, leveraging inference to create new types of products. No need to become an expert in ML and training, to start with. That’s similar to what some people did about 12-15 yrs ago pivoting from web development to smartphone apps development.

yes, T=0 means no randomness, and given sufficient tokens the output should always be the same (in such case whether they cache is a matter of hit ratio, I'd guess)

In general it's better asking questions after the content, and T=0.7 is way too high. Here's HN homepage summarized with T=0 and TopP=1, asking "Summarize the content above.":

DV2> The content above is a list of the top 30 stories on Hacker News as of 2 hours ago. Each story includes the number of points it has received, the number of comments, and a brief description.

DV3> The above content is a list of 30 posts from Hacker News, featuring topics such as new GPT-3 models, US Reps urging the DOJ to investigate anticompetitive conduct, intentionally making close friends, enabling the future of GitHub's REST API, curation and decentralization, making close friends, learning C, FFmpeg, open-source tabletop board game simulator, hiring engineers to unify ML, illegal hashes, designing Windows 95's user interface, a three-sided coin, high performance data integration framework in Go, Mauna Loa eruption, AirDrop being limited to 10 minutes, 26 lines of code that changed the world, SwiftUI being slow, AVX 512 being the future, a directory of Mac menu bar apps, the ATtiny 2-Series, a Fijian island being strangled by vines, hospice becoming a for-profit hustle, protecting from what one wants, a psychoactive substance, AI WordPress code snippet generator, open source and saying "no", a factory that only builds white Toyota Land Cruisers, widget.json and widget construction set, and lab-grown timber/wood.

have you tried tweaking the behavior, e.g. asking not to guess, to be brief, providing examples, constraining output with syntactic sugar, etc? e.g. it's like talking to a person, give feedback and you might get better result.

From their email sharing the news:

We're excited to announce the release of the newest addition to the GPT-3 model family: `text-davinci-003`. This model builds on top of our previous InstructGPT[1] models, and improves on a number of behaviors that we’ve heard are important to you as developers.

`text-davinci-003` includes the following improvements:

    * It produces higher quality writing. This will help your applications deliver clearer, more engaging, and more compelling content.
    * It can handle more complex instructions, meaning you can get even more creative with how you make use of its capabilities now.
    * It’s better at longer form content generation, allowing you to take on tasks that would have previously been too difficult to achieve.
