CPS can already take children out of homes in spite of the fact that no one has died yet in said situation. That is for good reason. Failing to act before a crime has actually been committed in many of those situations would lead to unneces

You're going to have tyranny either way. Either you have oppression of the mentally ill by the government, or oppression of society as a whole by the severely mentally ill who takeover public places when they become homeless, commit m

Not an option because severe mental illness affects us all. We already have a similar principle for other diseases that negatively affect others, e.g. tuberculosis.

I understand the civil liberties concerns, but you really want to treat severe mental illness as soon as possible. Earlier treatment is linked to better outcomes, lower costs, and a significantly higher chance of being reintegrated into so

As the article makes so plainly clear though, we cannot wait until someone is objectively dangerous for two reasons: 1 - it leaves very little time to actually intervene before something bad happens, and 2 - it removes our best chance to ac

When it comes to mental illness, people should avoid commenting on specific cases because the details matter and only the professionals involved in those situations actually know enough about the state of these individuals to know whether o

The problem is that there is no perfect treatment for severe mental illness. We cannot cure it. Many of these drugs have major and serious side effects, which is why so many people stop taking them. So the only question then is what will y

I think what’s really depressing here is just how effective scaling seems to be. It just means that any company that’s not willing to pour hundreds of millions of dollars into their AI programs isn’t serious at all and would probably be bet

I don't understand what the problem is here. Recreation.gov is one of the few government websites that actually does what you'd expect in a relatively streamlined way. Agency managed websites are typically a hot mess... I'm l

In a downturn all these little side projects at big companies get canceled and wound down. If you’re upset about DPReview just wait till Amazon starts unwinding much bigger parts of its portfolio.

I'm not so sure about this. There is speculation that GPT4 may utilize additional specialized models underneath it for specific tasks.

The real question is what is OpenAI going to do with someone who so clearly flaunted their ToS? If nothing, then OpenAI is going to have a hell of a time making any money out of this for long. But I suspect, that the people who made this a

You cannot say that with any certainty. While GPT4 shows great promise it’s still not clear at all that the current architecture can keep scaling up. Presumably they’re already using all the data they have access to. So what’s left to impro

Yes, definitely take this advice from some random user on HN. Can't possibly go wrong.

This is why well architected systems will require the AI agent to do things through other services via well-defined APIs. First, it allows the business to limit the space with which the AI can interact with the rest of the business. Second

The potential for scamming is limitless with this. Elderly people were vulnerable to phone calls from their "relatives" before when the voices didn't even sound that close. Can you imagine what the hit rate is going to be on

Call center employees are pretty much as good as gone once the price comes down on GPT4. You can pretty easily give it a good prompt that allows it to answer very specific questions about your company, or interact with external APIs to sch

Does this even matter? Sure GPT4 can’t solve every conceivable problem out there, but if it can solve the overwhelming majority of problems that humans have already seen then that is a huge improvement over what we had before.

This just begs the question… why not generate the docs when someone reads the code instead? Why bother generating a bunch of half assed docs today when you can wait and interrogate the code in a much more natural and fluid way using the sam

The ad based revenue model is done, yes. A lot of sites will still exist though behind paywalls.
352.
by woeirua 4y ago
GPT4s killer revenue stream isn't selling ads on keyword searches. It's selling access to a general compute engine that can take text and do useful things with it. The API is dead simple to use, and all you have to do is just chan

Why couldn't you just use OpenAI's API to feed prompts and then take the outputs and use them to train your own model to exfiltrate the best features of GPT?

by woeirua 4y ago
This is the real risk to OpenAI's business model. If it turns out that you can get most of the same outcome with drastically smaller and cheaper models, then OpenAI is going to have a hell of a time keeping customers around as it will

Part of me wonders if they've been relying on GPT too much to build their public facing sites...

Home prices did fall though after 2008. In some areas by as much as 30-40%. The real difference between this time and last time is that the Fed was trying to prevent deflation in 2008. That's why the cut to zero. This time, the fed

On the downside, everything is going to be generated by AI here in the next few years. On the upside, no one will pay any attention to email, LinkedIn messages, Twitter, or social media unless its coming from someone you already know. If y
