The author explains that Reinforcement Learning (RL) is often misunderstood due to OpenAI's misleading information, and that RL is actually a simple extension to Supervised Finetuning (SFT) that adds Negative examples and KL Divergence loss. RL is essential for building useful Large Language Models (LLMs) as it enables them to be Reliable Instruction Followers, which is the single most ...
The debate over ad blocking raises questions about the ethics of the attention economy, where technologies compete for human attention and often exploit non-rational psychological biases. Ad blockers can be seen as a tool to push back against this system, but their effectiveness is limited, and the issue of tracking and profiling remains a more significant concern.
