You can also buy Biscoff cookie butter. Which is absurdly delicious if you like the cookies.

FWIW, I've read that multiple people committed suicide in despair of the financial ruin caused by SBF's fraud. So he did do things worthy of hefty punishment. Stealing money may not inherently "feel" like a real crime, b

"Aim for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." This is an area where I think this quote applies. Don't reach Google status and build the next $1T company? Okay, maybe you'll make a unicorn. Don&#

Starting a successful company is not an essentially impossible pipe dream. There are literally millions of businesses in the US that are generating millions in revenue. Sure, they aren't all mega behemoth tech companies, but what of it

This take makes no sense to me. I would bet you any amount of money that, 5 years from now, there will be fun+successful games that use modern AI to make NPCs more realistic than they are today. And I guarantee you wouldn't take that b

I mean, you're imagining unfun things, and then declaring them unfun, rather than imagining fun things. Of course unfun implementations would be unfun. But what the gp was clearly intending to suggest was fun implementations of more

Both the Milky Way and sardine sandwiches are visible objects. That's a comparison that's not disingenuous. If you're going to label a comparison as disingenuous, the onus is on you to provide a reason why. Otherwise, you&#x2

Anything can be compared. In fact, you may be surprised to learn that the entire point of the word "compare" is to point out similarities between otherwise dissimilar things.

The U.S. government (federal and state) spend more than $10T annually. By comparison, the top 1% wealthy Americans combined donate about 1% of that amount ($100B) annually. Furthermore, government spending is ostensibly in the hands of the

I think a better explanation is that authors and other creators of public works are concerned with how they will be perceived. Otherwise, they wouldn't spend months and years meticulously editing and improving their works before releas

I'm not sure this is the same "type" of group. There have always been those who neglect to adopt the technology of the day or buy heavily into the culture, without also buying into some sort of counter-cultural movement. Toda

On the contrary, due to devices like phones and the internet, I have a smaller number of interruptive people in my immediate vicinity than I probably would have decades or centuries ago. Friends and loved ones feel more comfortable moving a

In all of the places named above, people have interrupted me more than once a day, and I don't think that's abnormal. And again, it's much easier and less rude to put my phone on silent for unknown numbers, than it is to igno

What common physical space keeps people from interrupting you? - I had my own room as a kid. My parents and brother banged on the door whenever they pleased. - I worked at a tech company, had my own desk, and wore headphones. Coworkers stil

In the prehistoric era (and continuing into the present day), all that's required to interrupt someone is a set of vocal chords you can use to talk to them, or a finger you can use to tap them on the shoulder, or a fist you can use to

One person's specific usage of AI, in a specific game, where the AI was constrained to only coming up with words that have an associated emoji, is not a referendum on whether or not AI itself has common sense. That's like saying p

You might want to edit your post. It seems like you're asking when to go full time on your startup, but you haven't made that context sufficiently clear, and people will have to read between the lines to get that. A lot of people

A neural net designed to do nothing other than compress and decompress a copyrighted work is completely different than GPT-4, unless I'm uninformed. To me that sounds like comparing a VCR to a brain. GPT-4's technology is clearly

by csallen 3y ago
I'd say that a tool itself can't be guilty of copyright infringement, only the person using the tool can. So it doesn't matter if the GPT has some sort of "notion" of a copyrighted work in it or not. GPTs aren'
