I work on a kiosk (MedifriendRx) which, to some degree "replaces" pharmacists and pharmacy staff. The kiosk is placed inside of a clinic/hospital setting, and rather than driving to the pharmacy, you pick up your medications

I JUST had a very intense dream that there was a catastrophic event that set humanity back massively, to the point that the internet was nonexistent and our laptops suddenly became priceless. The first thought I had was absolutely hating my

Why should it be progressive if it's not even scarce there? Why are you trying to punish people unnecessarily?

Definitely the case. That being said, I think it would be hard, at least in the immediate future, to translate the concept of difficulty to a universal LLM for a bespoke/specific game. I assume most game AIs are tuned by hand to feel f

The real jump was 3 to 3.5. 3.5 was the first “chatgpt.” I had tried gpt 3 and it was certainly interesting, but when they released 3.5 as ChatGPT, it was a monumental leap. 3.5 to 4 was also huge compared to what we see now, but 3.5 was re

It’s not obvious that the most profitable path for OpenAI would be saving on costs, it might be that the model is actually tuned to overthink because they can charge on those extra thinking tokens.

To play devil's advocate, I think there is some merit to their point. A common criticism against modern academia is that so much of the low hanging fruit has been addressed, that to be an expert working on the actual frontier means you

Does anybody else have an issue with the like $8/user/month price point that products like this have coalesced around? I feel like a service like this should be like $1-5/user/year, at most.

Speaking for myself: one reason would be because it's one of the things LLMs/tools like Codex are the most useful for. When I have a smallish application, with tests, written in one language, letting an LLM convert those files i
