I use my account only to mock @realDonaldTrump. Real discussions with friends happen in group chats, without all the crap and noise.

That is why we need functioning states -- free markets won't save you in such a case. Though I found it is hard to explain especially to U.S. people, who put "regulation" on par with f words :)

Heh, that would be surely funny :) But most people at least know there is a new permit law and if they are not sure, they are to seek expert guidance. The model is even with explicit notification unable to reflect upon this fact. How it is

I use AIs for coding with moderate success, but the more I work with them, the more I am convinced that "intelligence on tap" is a pipe dream, especially in domains where logical thinking in novel (ie not-in-dataset) contexts is r

About two years ago, I made up reference to a nonexistent python library and put code "using" it in just 5 GitHub repos. Several months later the free ChatGPT picked it up. So IMO it works.

Yup. There should be a disclaimer or a "food tag". The implicit assumption in society is some human had written the text you read.

The title says for me 'Federal Cyber Experts Thought Microsoft’s Cloud Was “a Pile of Shit.” They Approved It Anyway.' No editorializing guys! :)

10k, really? Are you supposed to understand all that code? This is crazy and a one way street to burnout.

Are training data counted as input? It would be interesting to see a court ruling that the output of LLMs trained on copyleft code are licensed under the GPL ... and all other viral licenses simultaneously

Honestly, I enjoyed coding a bit more when I was doing it just as a hobby. Maybe it is time to enjoy it again! Don't ruminate on the future too much folks, you won't die by hunger.
