The Deja vu sensation of this conversation happening almost identically 2 days ago (everything from wondering how >100% efficiency works, someone explaining it's from the environment, and then someone else explaining efficiency is inappropriate and COP exists) is kinda wild.

Nothing to worry about. Its people alpha-testing the Copilot internet commenting plugin.

Can't wait for all our text input boxes on the web to be GPT-3-enabled, and then all comments on HN and Reddit and Twitter will be just people accepting the defaults, and it will end up just being GPT-3 talking to itself, and we can all go back to doing something productive.

Pretty sure FB has several instances of itself with all the users played by GPT-3 trained on the users’ previous activities so they can monte carlo various changes, like pre-A|B testing or estimating impact of various new ad types or congressional testimonies.

Reminds me of a post here where it was some neural network chat/excuse generator. Just two people back and forthing about why they couldn’t meet up.

I lost it when one of the excuses was, 3 weeks later “oh, I can’t meet for lunch on July 29th, I have to go to my mother’s funeral”

[SamBam]

Amy way you can link to that conversation? I tried to find it on Google.

[Scoundreller]

I think the convo is different each time. You’d have to search here for the chat itself. It was 2-3 months Ago
