this reeks of being a win for the pencil pushers at netflix who needed to turn around the slowly growing exodus from their platform on paper. i would guess that this will only be a one time boost as some people will have to get their own ac

LLM's only work on the data they have been trained on so all outputs are merely based on information that has already been written about by a human. Furthermore, LLM's do not truly "understand" even first order causal re

I am not sure about other drugs, but in the case of alcohol the rewiring is certainly not hyperbolic and not even limited to the brain. Humans have a special physiological relationship to alcohol and the human body will literally rewire bot

I could tell that this was generated by ChatGPT within two or three words. It's very funny that the link it selected for OpenAI's own ethical initiative leads to a 404. Nevertheless, it failed to comprehend my point. I am not talk

The main reason is the mechanics of how it works. Human thought and consciousness is an emergent phenomena of electric and chemical activity in the brain. By emergent, I mean that the substrate that composes your consciousness cannot be exp

No, chatgpt is based on a deep learning model where the core mechanics of the prediction involve millions (or billions) of tiny statistical calculations propagated through a series of n-dimensional tensor transformations. The models are a b

that is a slight misunderstanding of how open source licensing works. the GPL bleed only happens if you distribute your application, meaning to sell or give away binary packages for customers to install. if your product is a hosted api that

This article sounds a lot like major label dinosaurs and middle managers complaining that the business model that worked in the past doesn't work anymore. Can't say I have any tears to cry for them given that model really benefite

Go is interesting because it has a cult like following of advocates who spout the same sound bites all the time, yet seem completely oblivious to the larger world out there. Go seems to be in this weird space where it is not particularly su
