I agree its an amazing payment method, it worked for me for most of the time. Still, we depend on bank's stability and technical availability for it to work. Once i needed to pay for something and forgot my card at home, at that same t

It is. A friend of mine has this. It took her so much time to actually seek help, despite the excruciating pain, and she got part of her digestive system removed because it spread too much. Nowadays, after 2 years of the surgery, she manage

I have a big issue with this, and the truth is that the majority of people simply do not care and/or do not understand the implications. By tying your service to a smartphone your are basically refusing to provide service if the costum

I agree with that. At work, we are about to implement a decent LLM and ditch Dialogflow for our chatbot. But not to talk directly to the client (it's asking for a disaster), just to recognize intentions, pretty much like Dialogflow but

It certainly has use cases, just not as many as the hype lead people to believe. For me: -Regex expressions: ChatGPT is the best multi-million regex parser to date. -Grammar and semantic check: It's a very good revision tool, helped me

I'm curious about the ToS. As far as i know, their version of ChatGPT on Copilot don't like +18/sexual stuff, so how would the Copilot+ react to a lot of it? Would you get banned? would it work? Would it simple ignore all the

I did that with Llama 3 8B with some stuff i could think of, and it did very good. It was on par with GPT4. I prompted some scenarios and asked it to use CoT. Scenarios like "i was standing and eating chocolate, and it melted. Will i f

I personally don't use LLMs to code, besides a few snippets or when i'm out of ideas what/how do to. But models like Starcoder and Code Llama is what i see people often using for this purpose. There are benchmarks for various

If your intention is coding something complex, you should try a model finetuned for that, i don't think llama 3 is that good for coding. But i used standart prompt engineering stuff, same as from llama 2. Instead of chat, you use a com

Just like many here have said already, GPT4 is being useful for coding for me. It is an amazing parser, specially, and save me precious time. Of course it's not able to do anything on it's own or without supervision, but is has be

I wonder if they where really offended or it was an impulsive overreaction on their part :P In times where people like that exists, chatbots that can swear are weapons of mass destruction.

I get it that companies want to distance themselves for bad stuff those LLMs output. But what baffles me is the way they deal with this issue. Nowadays if you share or reproduce anything controversial, is as if you are endorsing such conten

I think that is the biggest reason for the excessive safety as well. Just like all services try to be safe for those same things. What do puzzles me is why those companies act that way. Is it because costumers are dumb enough to not differe

Well, "safely" is subjective i guess. This means an AI that will not "get rogue and kill us all" or an AI that will not swear back at the user or generate unethical content even when prompted? I am really not concerned a

I think Meta did a very good job with Llama2, i was skeptical at first with all that talk about 'safe AI'. Their Llama-2 base model is not censored in any way, and it's not fine-tuned as well. It's the pure raw base mode

Non-tech people can use it with no issues, my whole company uses it. People just need to pay attention to what they are doing, and be organized. At the beginning it can be kinda painfull, but it's all worth it.

The example is good, and look where we are. Regulation brings immediate partial results to a problem, but doesn't solve it. I agree that the problem should be resolved, but those methods are only put in place to please shareholders and
