It's not just about sensitive data like passwords, contracts, or IP. It's also about the personal conversations people have with ChatGPT. Some are depressed, some are dealing with bullying, others are trying to figure out how to c

Not sure if it's genuine insight or just a well-written bit of thoughtful PR. I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but the more I read about OpenAI, the more I like Meta. And I deleted Facebook years ago.

There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things: CloseAI.

It's worst than that. Lots of power struggles and god-like egos. Altman called one of the employees "Einstein" on Twitter, some think they were chosen to transcend humanity, others believe they're at war with China, some

"Hey, Twitter vibes are a metric, so make sure to mention the company on Twitter if you want to be heard." Twitter is a one-way communication tool. I doubt they're using it to create a feedback loop with users, maybe just to

Blockchain is capitalism at its finest. It rewards risk because risk-taking drives innovation, builds businesses, and creates jobs. Banks fund that because it grows the economy, and they make money on the upside. So yeah, risk-takers get th

My faith in Satoshi died the day I pictured him in a suit, shaking hands as JPMorgan's newest partner. The way I see it now, Satoshi didn't create a system for the people. He created a system for the rich, where regular people are

Yes, the system itself is decentralised, but if most people depend on centralised exchanges and a handful of whales can move the market, how is that any different from the system we already had?

The total amount of Bitcoin held by all DEXs is a relatively small fraction compared to centralized exchanges. And crypto exchanges and funds are typically backed by large corporations and banks. For example, 51% of Coinbase shares are owne

Exactly. Like I said in another comment, the system was supposed to be decentralised and fair, but fast forward 15 years, and it's still the same players with the most power end up with the advantage.

Sure, but the people who value Bitcoin at 120k and have the power to move markets aren't average people, they're banks, investment firms and billionaires. In a system that was supposed to be decentralised and fair, it's still

I'm interested in debating these facts: - 2.4 million bitcoins are lost forever [0]. Their owners, for one reason or another, can't access their wallets. No insurance, no guarantees, nothing. - 1.1 million are owned by a mysteriou

I'd stick with Google Search until Microsoft figures out how to handle a billion OpenAI requests a day without draining the water supply of entire cities. Because in Chile, for example, people are struggling.

You didn't click on the link I shared. I'm talking about the cost to produce the response, not the request. One AI prompt uses around 10 times more CPU and energy than a Google search. If ChatGPT handles 1 billion queries a day, t

This is like saying: I can write Swift code using Vim instead of Xcode. Yeah, you can, but that doesn’t mean you should. Note: I use nano/vim daily to read and edit files on my servers. Just not to build complex apps.
