Not even in the background. In order to use BingGPT you have to use the edge browser (there are ways around this but they are not obvious to a nontechnical user). What could possibly be the reason for that besides anticompetitive behavior?

I don’t really see how this has any impact outside of digital art. People are still buying paintings even though photos exist, and still buying sculptures even though cnc machines exist. I also think the output isn’t yet good enough to be u

Agreed, however, in practice I’ve found that companies replacing humans with AI is usually a disaster, and the only reason they get away with it is because they have some sort of near-monopoly. When’s the last time you got an automated cust

The PATH is pretty good as long as you can stand a few minutes without internet and aren’t staying up until 4am. It used to be regularly late and require a different subway card which was annoying, but those issues have been fixed. The cars

Personally, I have a few issues with the philosophy of EA that I believe are reflected in the community. 1) I believe the thought leaders behind the philosophy severely downplay the downsides of making money amorally. It’s considered a comp

GPT4 is expensive to run, even more expensive to finetune, and for all practical purposes can’t be run offline (because the model is too big to run outside of a huge data center). Evaluation latency is also an issue for many usecases, and y

It seems like in practice it’s basically used as a filter for resume spammers. If the cover letter is required then it means the person was willing to spend 20 mins of their day applying for this specific job, which is a bit too expensive f

I see a bunch of restaurants using flowcode, which has built-in user tracking. Not sure how many of them use the tracking features, but given that it comes free with the product I’d bet it’s a lot.
