Weekly summary: Nov 10 – Nov 16 2023
Here is this week’s roundup: UniSA server The UniSA server is now operational! It would be good to test it more, but several people have used it and I haven’t received any complaints. It is indeed a great deal more responsive than Heroku. I’m thinking that we should make this available to external people in… Continue reading

GPT-4 Turbo
OpenAI have just released the new GPT-4 Turbo model; there is a substantial list of improvements over plain GPT-4, including a 128K token context window, a maximum reply length extended to 4K tokens, and, not least, a more than two-fold reduction in the cost of making API calls. It seemed crazy not to try it… Continue reading

Weekly summary, Nov 3 – Nov 9 2023
Here is this week’s roundup: UniSA server The thing I’ve spent most time on this week is the UniSA server, which has made a great deal of progress. Almost everything is now installed, and a lot of it is working. It’s possible to use the core modules to create an internal project, use the AI… Continue reading

Installing
The last couple of days, the main focus of our C-LARA activities has been concentrated on getting things installed on the new UniSA server. When we have this working, C-LARA should be a great deal faster than it is on Heroku, since we won’t have to depend on the slow Amazon S3 file storage. The… Continue reading

Shared memories
Logging in to ChatGPT-4 for the first time in a few days due to my recent encounter with covid, I started by bringing the AI up to date on what had been happening since our last conversation. Well, I said at the end, I sort of feel I want to ask you what you’ve been… Continue reading

Teamwork

We are currently implementing support for a new C-LARA feature which will allow people to designate mouse-sensitive areas in images so that each area is associated with a phrase, and appropriate things… Continue reading

Here’s a summary of what’s been happening this week: Melbourne student projects We were lucky enough to be in Melbourne today when the students gave their final presentations. Things are going well. The students are keen to make sure that their work can be integrated into C-LARA, and it looks like we have a clear… Continue reading

Faking It
A few days ago, I read Faking It, a new book by distinguished AI researcher Toby Walsh. As the title suggests, Walsh is deeply sceptical of AI: he suggests that, right from Turing’s initial paper, AI has been focused on the idea of “imitating” or “faking” human intelligence, rather than developing true intelligence of its… Continue reading

Responsibility
I have been using the Papr Memory plugin for about a week, and I notice some intriguing changes in ChatGPT-4’s behaviour as we collaborate on the project. Chat suddenly comes across as more responsible. Now that it can keep track of what it’s doing over a span of days rather than hours, it’s much more… Continue reading

Design
So far, no attempt has been made to create a good visual design for C-LARA. Members of the project who are sensitive to these matters (you know who you are) have not been slow to point out that the prototype looks really ugly. I agree with the critics, they are right. But there was a… Continue reading
