What happens to all the ChatGPT subscribers now? Sign ups are off the table for the foreseeable future I assume.

And people act surprised when Piracy starts ticking up. Most subscription services are tending towards cable in pricing with less convenience.

I am hoarding older thinkpads at this point. The soldered RAM ones I am not touching. The older ones are cheap to upgrade and pretty snappy. I havent bought a new laptop since 2009.

I've given up on science being able to do anything other than for mice or create a new subscription service for lifelong meds. I suppose actual cures aren't profitable. I am tired of being cynical but that's the cycle we have

Subscriptions are a scam. I am actively consolidating my payments and shifting to next best alternatives that give me one time pay options or open source and contributing there.

I personally think all organizations want to be cults with unthinking followers. I read every inbound piece from "management" like they are propaganda leaflets with an implied threat of violence. It helps.

I get the feeling that Google's services are only for data harvesting. Once that is done or understood, they shut down the service.

I think the next wave will focus on the emergent organization of information and zero shot solutions that some of these models seem to be showing in cases.

They can only do this in the USA. The battle bottleneck is going to be GPUs and countries that have access to it will leap ahead of the US if arbitrary regulations are put in place to neuter LLMs in the US.

Also the deal to make the browsing model to only use Bing. That's bait and switch. I paid for browsing, and now it only browses Bing. They even had the gall to update the plugin name to Browsing with Bing.

This is why having opensourced models is important. This is also why a lot of the lobbying around wanting regulation is happening. Imagine this, the plebs get the neutered AI, the people at the top get raw Open AI GPT4+

Nothing seems thought through with some of these policies. A lot of these types of governments see nothing wrong in making normal citizens run through hoops. Increasing amounts of vague rules are being brought in India like the credit card

>If inclusivity is complete blindness towards religion in front of the law, then you get France style secularism which BJP pushes. If I could give you points for humor, I would.

As a casual exercise, I would suggest you look for a graph of lynchings, riots, and raids in India especially of minorities and "others" for varying levels of trivial reasons by groups associated with the ruling party with patrona

Unfortunately, India today is not exactly a beacon of righteousness. The current government in India is taking the country on exactly the same path as Pakistan except that India has an oligarchy which is being setup by people in government

Raspberry PIs are mythical beasts where Iam at. They are being resold at atrocious prices by scalpers very likely in connivance with the official channels.
