Fair point, but Google is also exactly as confidently wrong as GTP. They are both based on Web scrapes of content from humans after all, who are frequently confidently wrong.

This is extremely pleasant to have a chat with. I talked though some of my fiction preferences and it recommended that I read Hyperion next. I may just do that. Then “we” talked through some of the best museums to visit in Europe based on s

Hence why I said low paid, because he's definitely not in one of those jobs.

Yes, I’m not trying to knock lifers in general, but there was a lot of fear and risk avoidance obvious in this specific post.

For real. My 24 year old cousin just bought his first home and he works a low paid blue collar job. The trick is to be in an affordable location.

This sounds like a you problem. Remote tech roles are falling off trees. Wherever you are that FAANG money can’t buy you a house, you definitely don’t need to be there. You are choosing to be in some incredibly unaffordable area. Lucky, if

Wow, this must be some kind of leading indicator. I have never heard or read anyone talk about being a lifer before and lay out coherent reasons why that might be a good thing. I guess the job market is about to shit the bed.

Then you would hold a weird power over the worlds largest economy? It’s the official medium of exchange. The government could print more money, but you would be able to flood the market at any time, essentially being a second federal reserv

That’s an odd comparison since unreal engine 4 is incredibly close to live action. I watched the recent matrix demo several times in awe.

I am not clicking that link because no one should take the risk of you proving your point of what horrors could pop out of one of these models. I will say that while the government backlash is inevitable just like it was with encryption, th

Are you kidding? Many times corporate decisions are being made effectively at random. Thinking that the average company operates with a 999 batting average is a total fantasy.

One criticism that immediately springs to my mind is around this equivalence of the trillions yet to come to the billions now. Ok, let’s say we play in this sandbox and accept that we need to build some level of thinking about future genera

That is an insane demo and really makes me think that building Alexa was not wrong, just early. I don’t know if that next-level capability would have been more useful to consumers or able to be monetized, but I suppose we will have to wait

I thought this was a great moment to take stock of these voice assistants and do a postmortem on why the platform failed to live up to expectations. Something telling from the article is that Alexa is used to play music and check the weath

Trump is for sale. Musk has money. What’s not to like?
827.
by dougmwne 4y ago
This was very obviously Musk’s plan from the start. Everyone who spent 2 seconds thinking about it knew it. It gives Musk enormous power over US politics and greatly increases the overall user engagement on the platform. Win-win for him. T

Ho Ho Ho. Nope! That is never going to pass muster with the auditors. You have actual legal responsibilities in corporate accounting, you can’t just make it up as you go along doing whatever seems easiest without ending up in prison.

Not much of a plot hole. Judas betrayed for greed. He fulfilled the resurrection through his evil, which does not make him good. In any random Hollywood movie, the villain would not be redeemed by accidentally helping the hero in the course

You jest, but I would not be surprised if he launched a few twitcoins.

I have found plenty to be impressed with at points in the past and I suspect he will still go down in the history books. But he’s been losing it for awhile now and this Twitter mess seems to be his crash and burn moment that could take his

Actually… and here’s the really fun part… the wealth was always a social construct. It doesn’t exist physically, only in ideas. It is whatever we collectively say it is. When we think something is worth $20, it is! When we decide it’s worth

But this is exactly how all assets are priced and that price signal is good enough to take loans out against the asset collateral and create even more money supply.

I think the idea here is that pumping the economy full of helium will eventually be catastrophic. If this crypto crash is allowed to actually play out instead of getting bailed out it could prevent something far more damaging later on than

by dougmwne 4y ago
What is real money anyway? Money is an idea and the money supply contains far more than physical currency. If someone believes they have crypto wealth, they will spend accordingly and the velocity of what we measure as the economy increases

by dougmwne 4y ago
I wonder if a crypto contagion could actually help the broader economy by acting as an escape valve. For the past 14 years, the government keeps stepping in to bail out bad bets and keep all the scum floating. But with crypto, it was an an

Only people who have no experiences with snow could think this is a good idea:) The most likely result is tht the tarp would freeze onto the ground and you'd never get it to budge.

I walked this distance every day to school as a second grader and so did many other second graders. I crossed major roads, though there were crossing guards at some but not all intersections. This was 30 years ago. Today I spend time in Pol

Based on the capability of state of the art language models, we may get that soon. The technology largely exists, but the compute is still too expensive. Rumor has it that GTP-4 will be able to pass for human-like.

And I think that can be legit as well. If you are engaged on their problems then you are billing. They are not paying you by the keystroke.
