> Crypto at best is used for get rich quick schemes, scams, dark web payments, ransom demands etc. You said buying pizza with bitcoin. Where ? Is it an anecdote ? To unpack this: 1. Crypto at best is used for get rich quick schemes, scam

I don't think crypto will become the only thing (which I assume is what you mean by the thing ), just as bank cards and NFC isn't the only thing. Cash still exists. In the same way that we still have traditional centralised ban

Depends if people are appointing themselves as experts or if people are claiming people are experts for changing their interests. Right now, its impossible to know which. I've seen people getting excited about LLMs and their potential

With exception to the term experts, which I imagine is a term you've applied, I don't think there's anything inherently bad with people changing their focus to the latest tech. Could this perhaps be a you issue? How do you fe

I mean, to say crypto has no real use cases is wrong. A lot of people are against crypto, and I can understand that, the whole cultural side of it is tough to digest. But if you strip away all of that: the twitter bots, the airdrops, the sp

Amazon is more like eBay than eBay now Steam is like eBay but for low quality games It happens to them all. There are big games on steam, but 95% of the stuff on there is low value, low cost content

Interesting perspective, but not all book learners mispronounce words or use outdated terms. Broad reading can expose us to different viewpoints and language styles. And re: 'out of touch nerds' – remember, they/we often brin

Out of curiosity, what is your benchmark here? I have a $2000 RTX card that is great for games, but pretty poor for LLMs. For LLM development, I'd be much happier with a Studio and an M2 Ultra. How much would it cost me to get 192 GB i

I have an M1 Air and an iMac Pro (3.2 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon W) and quite often I feel as though the M1 is faster. Seems to be jumping ahead remarkably!

And that's understandable. What John was saying and many of us here echo is that, for us, we'd like to want do the other things, but programming (outside of the commercial grind) is sweeter than all those things. To be consumed by

I hope so. There is so much money spent on technology that is meaningless, so much pessimism over technology that could actually help us. I hope to see people as shocked by fusion as they are by LLMs.

Agreed. Good on OpenAI.

I mean, they haven't. What does open mean to you? It isn't OpensourceAI. OpenAI have made ChatGPT freely available. They have opened up use of their models to regular people and developers. They have the most powerful LLM and it&#

I don't think OpenAI "uploaded" the "bot" to the internet. For your own sake, I'd reevaluate your understanding of this. There isn't a bot and these aren't uploads.

Well the whole article gives me the feeling of exactly what the author detects in others calling themselves prompt engineers. "You're not prompt engineers, /I'm/ a prompt engineer" and then goes on to suggest b

If people are willing to pay them for the value they bring, then no wonder they're marketing themselves that way. If it's effective and their goal is increased renumeration then they're smart people.
