🧵 "#Possibility Architectures: Exploring Human #Communication with Generative #AI"

Today's SFI Seminar with ExFac Simon DeDeo @LaboratoryMinds (@CarnegieMellon), streaming now:
"A key feature of this is talk is that we make sense of what each other are saying IN PART by what they say, but ALSO by what we expect of them."
"Language transmits info against a background of expectations – syntactic, semantic, and this larger cultural spectrum. It's not just the choices of make but [how] we set ourselves up to make later choices."

Last week I raised concerns about using #gpt3 in production because it can easily output toxic language that propagates harmful biases. I thought it was a pretty uncontroversial stance but the responses ranged from complete misunderstanding of AI to total irresponsibility. 1/13
I am a big fan of @OpenAI’s research. It is often very original in ways that more traditional research labs, like my own team, tend to ignore. While #gpt3 doesn’t bring any algorithmic innovation, the zero-to-few shot approach as a universal language API is groundbreaking. 2/13
I do take exception with some of @OpenAI’s PR though. In particular, I don’t understand how we went from #gpt2 being too big a threat to humanity to be released openly to #gpt3 being ready to tweet, support customers or execute shell commands (beta.openai.com). 3/13

I started feeding a GPT-2 1558M model Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. If you wanted to read a story generated by a machine, now's your chance. #AliceInWonderland #gpt2 #MachineLearning #literature
Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it,
"and what is the use of a book," thought Alice "without pictures or conversations?"

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble

I've been playing with the GPT-2 neural net text generators, and they produce interesting results when primed with two disparate themes, e.g. secure C++ coding meets trashy romance novel:
Most of the time GPT-2 will veer towards a single theme and forget the other. However occasionally it produces absolute gold. e.g. in this alternative universe Brent ignores Sylvia's advice and takes a risk:
Two alternative takes on the Rust language vs. the zombie apocalypse:

First line of famous poems continued by the @openAI GPT-2 example model from "Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners" #gpt2poetry #GPT2

It little profits that an idle king,
who loves his throne for a moment to enjoy a good meal,
might, if he was not in the right position,
become the subject of a great banquet.
But as the royal household will do,
so too shall their subjects. #gpt2poetry #tennyson
That is no country for old men.
They are old men of our land, of old times.
Nowhere is this more true than in these two cases,
as it now goes: the United States of America,
the oldest people on this Earth, are all in a state of rebellion. #gpt2poetry #yeats

#GPT2 is published and suddenly every ML researcher is an expert on infosec. so much interest in dual-use issues _literally_ overnight is awesome! let's not confuse knowing the limitations of language modeling with knowing how threat actors operate (1/n)
I'm seeing a lot of anecdotal and hypothetical arguments from people with zero background in this kind of work (on both sides of the weights' non-release debate). for a field that treasures empirical study, this is perplexing.
when the media, marketeers, and scientists from other fields mischaracterize our work, we get upset. it's dismissive and damaging to everything we work for. it causes stakeholders and decision makers to make misinformed judgments. why would we risk doing similar to infosec?
