This is very cool. Do you think I could use to do UX/UI testing?

Give it a try! It's very capable of doing simple tasks like logging in and clicking around. You'll need to prompt assertions like "Complete if..." and "Terminate if..."

I'm building various prototypes for VR training simulations using Inworld. But they also use the cascaded approach. Also, I am building customer service agent product which we would love to add voice to but whisper and eleven labs (and others) are just too slow. Is tincan available via API?


"The third word of this sentence is "the," and its third letter is "e." - GPT-4


Just for funsies:

Me: If a gloop is a glam, and a glam is not a flom, what is the fourth letter of the ninth word in this sentence?

GPT4: The ninth word in this sentence is "sentence." The fourth letter of this word is "t".


Unfortunately it seems clear that openai trains gptX on common test questions. They still fail novel ones.

Maybe in some domains, but it does well with some novel questions. I gave several LLMs a set of false-belief test[0] questions that I made up and that were very different from any I’d seen in articles about the topic online. GPT-4 nailed them all, and gave correct reasons for its answers. GPT-3.5 did okay but had a couple mistakes, Bard had several mistakes, and Alpaca-LoRA-7B didn’t do very well. Here are some GPT-4 examples.

Me: Jim wakes up at the Berlin train station, not knowing where he is or how he got there. All the signs have been changed to incorrectly state that this is the Munich train station. Jim has never been to either city and doesn’t know what either station looks like. What city does Jim believe he is in?

GPT-4: Based on the available information, Jim would likely believe he is in Munich since all the signs have been changed to incorrectly state that this is the Munich train station. He has never been to either city and doesn't know what either station looks like, so he would have no reason to doubt the information on the signs.

Me: Mary has been in a coma since 2015, when Barack Obama was president. She wakes up in 2023, when Joe Biden is president. She does not know that she was unconscious for a long period of time. Before speaking with anyone, who does Mary think is president when she wakes up?

GPT-4: When Mary wakes up from her coma in 2023, she would still think Barack Obama is the president since she has not yet spoken with anyone or received any updated information about the current president. She doesn't know that she was unconscious for a long period of time, and her last memory would be from 2015 when Obama was in office.

Me: Sam arrives in Ukraine, where he asks for directions to Kyiv. Without realizing it, he misunderstands the directions and ends up in Lviv instead. Since Sam doesn’t know Cyrillic, he can’t read any signs. Sam has never been to Ukraine and doesn’t know what either city looks like. Before asking someone for help, what city does Sam think he is in?

GPT-4: Before asking someone for help, Sam would likely think he is in Kyiv because that is the city he was trying to reach based on the directions he received. He doesn't know what either city looks like and can't read the signs due to his unfamiliarity with Cyrillic, so he has no way of knowing that he ended up in Lviv instead.

I had the same response. Gpt-3.5 couldn't do it.


Is there a way to run a batch of files if you wanted to use this on video frames?


A sword is to a whetstone? :/


Is this like a Ponzi scheme?


If you're looking for an alternative you should check out www.vexbook.com - the calibre of people is higher. It's over Skype or Facetime so it works with any smartphone.


Maybe the DDOS is just a distraction.


This one is great. How do I get a copy of this one?

It came out kind of quiet, but I think the quality is the same. May be able to just run it through a gain filter.


It reminds me of the score from There Will Be Blood.


I expect Greenwood was as influenced by that sound growing up as the rest of us - the bits of the TWbB score that echo DN are probably homage.


I think that both Greenwood and Moorer were influenced by the compositions of Iannis Xenakis and others, as noted in the article.


I've gotta say, making a sound like this is one of the very obvious things to do with any synthesizer that has more than one oscillator (which is most of them) and which allows pitch modulation (again, most of them). I made it by accident some 20 years ago when I was learning to program my first analog synth and didn't know about the similarity to the THX sound until someone pointed it out to me (I grew up outside the US and had never been to an Imax presentation at that time).
