I had spent some time trying to get ChatGTP to act as a chess program. I was able to get it to draw a chess board with Unicode symbols and make legal moves as white. Eventually the game state got messed up. Maybe GTP-4 will get there.

And plainly, if we all needed to be nuclear physicists to talk and think about this, there would be no comments and no articles. Your comment also does not advance the conversation.

Truth. I hung onto Android for many years for that little shred of more choice, mostly the ability to install APKs. But Apple’s stability and user experience runs laps around Android and it’s extremely hard to justify not going with iPhone.

When ever has “being a democracy” meant, “we need to give our adversaries unlimited ability to feed propaganda and disinformation directly to our citizens”? Our rights apply to our citizens, not to foreign governments. They should have no r

It’s pretty massively different actually. Many US companies tried to operate in China, but the theft of trade secrets and uneven playing field was so bad that they eventually all pulled out. The Chinese government very explicitly wanted to

Because we absolutely do not need to even pretend to play fair when it comes to China. The government dictates what kind of content we can consume for the public good all the time. It’s as easy as saying “counties on this new human rights b

And that is great! My issue is the way the science is reported in the media making it sound like we are on the cusp on some kind of energy revolution, when we very much are not and don’t even have a line of sight on it yet. But then I suppo

“However, while the fusion reactions may have produced more than 3 megajoules of energy — more than was delivered to the target — NIF’s 192 lasers consumed 322 megajoules of energy in the process.” Well that says it all right there and real

Why not? China doesn’t allow our social media. Why should we allow theirs? We can easily copy the best parts of the platform and let our companies take their users. Plus, social media can be used for mass political manipulation, and what ju

That depends on its dexterity. Can a crane use tools, weld, rivet and so on? Certain not. But this machine m, once refined could plausibly do all of those things and is seen using some kind of grasper tool.

I get you and I think you are spot on. We spend a lot of our time in life being rewarded for showing up on time, following instructions, and filling our time keeping busy. Learning yet another way to accomplish the same task is right in the

Yes, I have long suspected that GTP solves the human subconscious, but has not solved the human conscious.

Right, so that’s a no. Google releases research papers but can’t productize anything. They are like a modern day Xerox Parc.

I find it relevant since it’s at the intersection of parenting and algorithmic hyper-media. It’s one person’s experience, and we can agree or disagree, but all the same, it’s one real parent with real children trying to navigate around thi

“A person I know” will get surgery videos on a fresh TikTok account within 20 minutes. “Another person I know” gets Ukraine battle footage. The algorithm is incredible and terrifying. I would never let any child use it without sitting next

This is very fair and I have similar feelings about the accuracy and false confidence. Looking at your experience, the outcome is still impressive. You got 3 new solutions that you were able to get working with some tweaking and one of th

Sorry yes it was harsh, and I did not mean it personally, but that it’s pretty common for people to complain about things they don’t understand, and I saw that in evidence in OP. There are legitimate reasons we should temper the hyped and e

Have you tried it? Last night I prompted it with a sample data file and it normalized it into a star schema and output the DDL for a theoretical data warehouse. I then was able to ask it questions about specific design choices. In compariso

I agree that it’s cynical, but I suspect we will see less reproductive freedoms as states see their population growth go negative. Why use the carrot when you have a perfectly good stick.

Having children is also narcissistic. They are copies of you after all.

The state does want babies. Notice the meek state opposition to recent changes in availability of a certain healthcare procedure. Don’t expect that to be changed back anytime soon.

I think this is a strange perspective, but it also kind of hits it perfectly. Western society has been breaking down the autonomy and independence of the family. More and more policies are aimed at treating parents as temporary caregivers o

This is an over generalization of American culture. Yes, in my experience, when parents live in a high cost of living city with plentiful opportunities, the children tend to live at home longer. This seems quite common in California and New

GTP has always been the worlds best bullshit simulator. Its output is incredible until you look closely and realize that it’s not so much inaccurate, but completely hallucinated. It’s the kind of thing that would be great for filling in Lor

If the computer was a bicycle for the mind then Stable Diffusion is LSD for the computer. Who cares how theoretically soulless it is under the matrix transforms, the fact is that this spits out the weird, and us humans chew it up and spit i
