None of my family or friends were aware of my drug use at any point. That choice was not presented to me. Furthermore, rehab would not have fixed my conditions that led to addiction. I turned 18, my father moved out, I immediately found bet

Largely, yes. Every aspect of my life was heavily controlled and I had very little freedom to choose how I spent any of my time or efforts. I was still a child then, not an adult. I’ve had no problems with addiction since becoming an adult

US statistics are very skewed because marijuana is an “illegal drug” sold legally in most states. I did provide numbers for Asians in USA though, which was similar to Thais in Thailand. Opium is at 3.3% by your number, which is comparable t

You say Thailand has figured it out but 4% of Thais have used illegal drugs in the past year. Which is pretty close to the 5-6% of Asians in the USA who have used illegal drugs in the past year. Interesting that two very different national

For me I was not a fan of opiates when I was in intense physical pain while recovering from surgery. I stopped early and that’s why I had so much left over. However, it was an ideal drug for emotional pain in later years and I was extremely

That was my dad’s strategy and I overdosed three times in high school, 20 years ago. We don’t talk anymore. A large part of the problem was not having my own social group from being grounded for a full year when I wasn’t getting all my home

Well for one, if China stops supplying Mexico, and the USA stops all illicit deliveries of anything from China… That won’t solve our problem because Mexico will buy chemical precursors from Brazil, India, or any of the large chemical compan

This report is a bit old. Since then, China no longer manufactures fentanyl (for the most part), and does not ship fentanyl precursors to the USA. So the flows look much different now. The precursors are shipped to Mexico, where fentanyl is

In the paper itself[0], they do have a couple comparisons for English-only (Fig. 2, Table 3), and it looks like Whisper has an 11.5% error rate and USM has a 10.5% error rate. It's a truly negligible difference. There's no way I&#

It's not even possible for me to verify the accuracy claims of this closed model with limited API access. I really don't care about closed API models of anything that has a good/usable open source version. Whisper works well

Aston Martin probably has them beat by a landslide for number of colors. They offer well over 100 colors. Actual Porsche prices out the door look like about $100,000 (even though MSRP for the cheapest models are a lot less). Please correct

I’d figure it may generally be possible to reverse the actors here and get GPT3.5 to jailbreak GPT4 as well. For now, “offense” seems much easier than defense.
