You may not need to have a job to be happy, it varies person to person. However, the idea that the billionaires will save us and our leverage is not needed is ridiculous. It is much more likely we would see poverty like is seen in much of t

I think a lot of this would be solved if the government would actually enforce anti monopoly laws. The penalties against Google were such a damn joke it makes me sick. Companies aren’t going to hold off on trying to automate tasks AI perfor

You are ignoring the part where human labor is the leverage required for democracy to work.

I am not talking about how much data is required to make intelligence. I am talking about how it uses the data it already has. It can tell you about every scam in the book, research about the scams, how to spot scams, who does the scamming,

With the amount of data these models have, they should be much more capable if there was an actual intelligence behind it. If you saw someone running into a wall continuously until you showed them how to use a door, even though they have se

I don't know how people can read stuff like this and think LLMs are intelligent or conscious.

Gave me wrong information on my very first question. Wasn’t even complicated, and I wasn’t trying to trick it.

Are you going to enjoy a future where those different sources can't be found, so now Google requires you to have a subscription that includes data about vehicle repair? The great thing about the web before was that the information was

They want to capture more of the value that was previously going to others. That's basically what this has all been leading to. Why let a cooking website get visitors and ad revenue when they are free to take the content and show it as

It is just a theory, the conspiracy part is not really applicable. I don't see what is controversial about it. Are you implying the machine taught itself the mathematics to do all this?

How is that a "tin-foil-hat" take? It's not a secret, and in fact widely reported, that these companies are spending billions on creating training data.

I've been thinking about getting the M5 Max Macbook Pro when it comes out to run local models on, but I'm worried it would make the computer sluggish to work with. Is it better to just get some Strix Halo mini pc to be dedicated l

Is this going to be another app that I have to make sure I opt-out of training for?

Do some freelancing to see what problems people will pay you to solve, then figure out if it is a good problem to solve at scale.

Dropshipping is just logistics. There is a lot of dropshipping that has nothing to do with ordering off Alibaba.

Those upsides are currently just a fantasy and ignore the very real current downsides. They also do not in any way rely on AI to become a reality.

It would be difficult, but not necessarily THAT difficult. With enough pushback from the public, AI would start getting regulated in meaningful ways. The problem is too many people love it, and see no problem with it. Because the momentum a

That's true, too. I guess we will see if executive pay and credentials start going down. They could technically have AI make all the decisions while someone just plays the patsy.

I think the reason AI isn't going to replace CEOs, or anyone in the C suite, is pretty obvious. They see themselves as the company. Everyone else is a resource. AI is here to replace resources, just like investing in a brand new lawn m

Care to provide any examples of what sort of content are in these conversations you had with AI?

I was thinking more like Blackwater, not standard security.

More likely he will have a new contract with some private security firm.

It's interesting seeing all the ChatGPT users in this thread, knowing what we know about OpenAI. Either they don't care about what OpenAI does, don't know their reputation, or feel like their use is too insignificant to matte

They were trying to keep the facade up until they were allowed to become a public benefit corporation. At least that's the way it seemed to me. Now they are fully mask off.

Funny how quickly they have become like every other tech company. There is basically no hint of OpenAI the non-profit anymore. Edit: Why did this go from their press release to a news story?

I think the problem is more with using PRIVATE repos. My letters are also private and I would be pretty pissed if the mail carrier was reading them. Why does GitHub think it has the right to do this?

My guess is that we are going to see a new uber expensive video generation tool from them aimed at filmmakers in the next year.

I thought some of those polling numbers would be higher. Do people really think it serves a purpose for tech companies to hold ALL the wealth? People must have heard a bit about economics in high school and figured there was no need to thin
