I wonder, is an electronic system capable of doing anti-entropy work on itself (the way life does) necessarily AGI-complete? It turns out that there are many complex behaviors (like drawing or generating sensible text) that don't requi

Unlike the elephant / mammoth pairing, there aren't any marsupials similar to Thylacine (as far as I know). What surrogate options did you have in mind?

Thanks to ChatGPT, I'm much less hesitant to delve (haha) into unfamiliar topics. "Hi! I'm a beginner programmer. I'm interested in learning Idris but I know next to nothing about dependent types. Could you explain them

Steam works in Russia, but it doesn't accept payments. Free and previously owned games can be played, but new ones cannot be bought. The usual way to circumvent this is via gifting from another account that has working a payment method

To me, both Outer Wilds and The Witness were absolutlely savourable, and I made a point of never looking up anything on the Internet while playing these games. That would rob me of the feelings these games were designed to impart.

OP likely meant that a Midjourney-level AI can easily generate all the card art. Obviously, current AIs cannot generate game rulesets because the game feel is an internal phenomenon that cannot be represented in the material domain and ther

Take my advice with a grain of salt, but: Get a ChatGPT4 subscription and ask away. It may hallucinate, but it lets you ask questions and immediately clarify points you don't understand. When you get the basic understanding, check it a

I tried many of them, even wrote my own app (failed), but today I just use Obsidian with separate workspaces for each major project / area. (Can't say that it works well for recurring tasks, but that's not Obsidian's fau

My problem with children and AI is much more practical. My daughter (17) is an artist, and she wanted to begin a career in animation. However, the progress in generative AI (namely Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and now Sora) makes this a du

I did not expect this level of quality in the beginning of 2024. Makes me think that we may see AGI by the end of this decade.

Very timely and helpful, thank you! A suggestion: the pulse animation would look much better with ease-in / ease-out animation curves instead of the harsh linear curve it's currently using. EaseInOutSine from this cheat sheet woul

ChatGPT 4 is fantastic for this kind of questions. No Google spam to filter out, and you can ask follow-up questions on topics such as configuration.

Whatever. Not my problem anymore. I switched to Kagi + ChatGPT 4 and couldn't be happier -- though it costs me about $30 per month. I haven't tried Kagi's FastGPT yet. How does it compare with ChatGPT 4? Is it updated regular
