   This only works if you move out of the expensive areas and live a more simple life in probably a rural area. $2M invested at 4% a year is $80k a year. $2M invested at 7% a year is $120k a year. That's already outside the realm of possi

   I find it hard to reconcile "reddit is hostile to things like crypto" and "I don't believe in censorship". If you don't believe in censorship, then you should celebrate redditors free-expression of hostility to

   The "But games don't standardize the UI" is actually a worse argument than it appears on the surface. Since every game is re-inventing the wheel, they're all making inferior wheels. UX/accessibility is so far behind

   This is what happens when 2,000 people are employed to run a site that can probably be run with 200. What the heck are 2,000 people doing, considering that 95% of the site is run by unpaid volunteers...

   Ah, so the person with multiple accounts knows that account age is irrelevant, but still chooses to pick on "new" users anyway. Why is account age relevant to the conversation when you have already demonstrated it's not accur

   Lot of talking down to new users coming from a 3 year old account on a website that's been up for 15+ years. This site would be better if users like you read and followed their own advice.

    I think that vanilla GPT writes in a style that is easy to identify. There's also this "too-perfect" feel where in most forms of communication, most people make mistakes. They splice commas, they use the wrong word, they subt

    All human understanding is simulated (built by each brain) and all are imperfect. Of course reality is simulated for each of us -- take a psychedelic and realize no one else's reality is changing! I find it interesting how discussions

    You can extrapolate this opinion all the way to "the only moral human existence is de-industrialization and return to hunter/gatherer lifestyle, and reducing humanity from billions to a million or less". You drew the line at

    I think it's unrealistic to expect that open source models that do not self-censor will be legal, especially in the EU. Considering that the current state of self-regulation by OpenAI is seen as wholly inadequate by regulators in most

    Microsoft said they were ending support in 2025, which is what 8 year life for the OS? I don't even think Apple hits 8 for OSX updates. They obsolete the laptops more quickly than that, even if they do hit 6-7 years regularly.

    I think it's fair that Microsoft is upset that they cannot do what their competitors have already completed. If the UK proceeds with a mandatory breakup of Sony's holdings, I would then approve of how they're regulating the m

    Let's not confuse the liars (GPT4All) with the real ones. Microsoft works with OpenAI and so Bing does use GPT-4. Github Copilot is GPT-3 based. Notion AI is GPT-3. There is a clear difference between the GPT family and the mimicry.
