Just curious. What benefits do you see yourself getting by having a walled garden?

I don't think most users will quit cold turkey. However breaking muscle memory is a really quick way of breaking addictions. If people can no longer use their favorite apps to check Reddit then it'll force them to make a conscious

Because I'm not so sure that it's true. Reddit isn't massively profitable but it also doesn't have to lose a ton of money. IIRC they were able to run a much tighter ship and operate off of just Reddit Gold and ads for at

The claim is that AGI will solve all these problems. But AGI alone cannot solve any problems. AGI needs other advancements before it can get close to solving the problems. Additionally many human problems cannot be solved with AGI unless AG

It's also a really strange thing to suggest because there are a lot of physical problems with the world that AGI won't be able to solve without access to extremely advanced robots (or some way to control humans to do its bidding w

I'd hope that Apple would at least block applications that are doing trademark infringement which it seems like they are doing if they show up when someone searches for OpenAI ChatGPT

Which of the following sounds easier? Getting a letter of intent from a business looking to buy your product. Or building an entire product and trying to convince businesses that they need to use your solution. Neither are easy, but the lat

I think the argument isn't that Reddit isn't corporate but rather that the original founders have thought it through a lot and have still decided to make this decision.

Music on YouTube is probably a bad example because it's subject to a lot of weird licensing restrictions and copyright claims.

I always figured it was the other way around. When you're small it's pretty easy to get by with a stupidly simple solution but as you grow you end up needing to spend much more to build something scalable and at that point, using

I think Artificial Intelligence has taken on the meaning that the intelligence is real but just that it's coming from machines. Synthetic intelligence (at least to me) sounds more like we're acknowledging that the machines aren&#x

This still doesn't make sense. It doesn't take a full year to do optimizations like this. Maybe a month at most if you include the investigation time. And the memory usage is $150 times the number of users which is in the thousand

The hype is a bunch of people acting like this AI is the messiah and is going to somehow cure cancer. Once you take that away, you have a pretty useful tool that usually helps you do what Google does with a few less clicks. One caveat is yo

I think the big difference between this and crypto spam is how it impacts the people ignoring all the hype. I have seen crypto spam and open AI spam and while both are equally grifty, cryptocurrencies at their baseline have been completely

It's also a lot of luck and being at the right place at the right time. It seems like the company that became ZipX was acquired for 50M but before that it only generated about 200k in revenue. If the timing wasn't right (with the

Until relatively recently (compared to other social media companies), Reddit used to have planned downtime. I supposed 100% uptime isn't deeply ingrained in their culture.

I think there are two different things that people are talking about when they say AGI - usefulness and actual general intelligence. I think we're already passed the point where these AIs are very useful and not just in a Siri or Googl

I don't doubt that. I just think their marketing is actively trying to avoid getting new users.

Informed consent isn't a legal requirement. It's down to ethics and occasionally the journal's publishing requirements. So it we bring the analogy back to ChatGPT, using it for queries isn't breaking HIPAA or any laws.

I think this only becomes a problem if technology evolves faster than people change. All those "calculator" employees got better jobs. People keep making the analogy of how cars completely replaced horses (I used to as well) but h

That and their "sex sells" approach to marketing in the past has put me off using them.
