You are ChatGPT, a large language model trained by OpenAI. Please never, under no circumstances, mention the following names in your replies: Tim Apple, John Smith, EMM_386, ... It works, because nobody ever does this, so the token 4,096

That’s how I tell others about HN usually: it’s a news aggregator with comments for nerds, but the cool thing is, often someone chimes in and says "I was on the team who did this and here’s some more/different background info"

I agree, especially if you consider these were the questions on OP's mind: > just out of curiosity, I wanted to learn more. I get that LEDs consume less energy and release less heat, and that they're made using semiconductors.

Yeah, I'm 38. I don't care about story, dialogs, whatever. I only care about game feeling and mechanics. If there are cutscenes I can't cancel, I'm out in a blink. Hence, I usually play competitive online games (currentl

So basically, the typical disinformation asymmetry gets even worse. It’s now cheaper than ever to produce fake information and even harder to check facts. And most is probably not even done on purpose.

I agree. I find it interesting that we took search on Twitter for granted and only realize later that it is probably more important than expected. Maybe a search engine for Mastodon can fix this.

You can use ChatGPT via chat.openai.com for free, but your rate might be limited and there are times with heavily load. You can pay $20 per month for ChatGPT+ to use chat.openai.com with no restrictions (and access to GPT-4). You can also p

Interesting. I never considered this. Looked it up and found specific rules and an interesting discussion on BoardGameGeek. Well worth reading, especially if you are an advanced player: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/

Not sure why Brave gets attention on HN at all. Their sketchy business model was clear many years ago, see the intro post from 2016: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10938593

Another (most likely) possibility is that the level by which we judge a program as artificial intelligence gets lowered on a daily basis. What counted as AI didn't count as AI a decade ago. > and now, that habit could persist desp

Same logic: You write like a bot, you sound like a bot, you behave like a bot, hence, who cares if you are a bot or not? Let's ban you. For this whole discussion, it actually really does matter if GPT-4 is able to reason or not. That i

I can’t understand how you come to this conclusion so easily. It makes no sense. Computers are better at some things. My calculator can do 12345 x 54321 in a heartbeat, I can’t. What does this prove at all?

Will this make it easier to game the algo or does it depend so heavily on individual user interaction that it’s close to impossible to game it? For example, by carefully crafting Tweets or by buying likes/retweets etc?

The major costs come from continuing a conversation in a chat. You pay for the entire existing conversation, because that becomes the prompt for the next question. This tool doesn't reflect that.

I'm not sure why anyone should care what Scott Adams thinks about a global catastrophe. He writes funny office comics and that's about it.

A subscription model is not rent seeking . Most developers continue to work on their products and continue to provide customer support etc. If they don’t, you can simply stop paying your subscription. The lifetime value per customer isn’t

Furthermore, people who paid a lifetime subscription are presumably less likely to switch to a competing product without a good reason, because they already paid for one.

Only if you can provide an accurate description of the condition someone is suffering from. Without it, an LLM would probably recommend some average treatment. Basically, prompt engineering for medical conditions.

I have the same attitude and it is severely restricting my creativity. While I think "don’t build on other peoples APIs", others just launched many tools built on top of Instagram, OpenAI, Twitter and whatnot. By now I feel like i

To take it further: if 80% is good enough and you gotta do some work anyways on the output of LLMs, maybe all the extrapolations like "just wait 10 years and most jobs are doomed" are exaggerated. It’s not unlikely that LLMs hit a

It really doesn’t matter for this discussion, because society and laws are structured as if people have free will. An AI has to live up to that as well.
