And?

The current democratic government literally stepped in to crush a union.

So basically the govt will say no one was at fault? How can a company be expected to protect customer privacy, wheres the profit.

Comparing a child painting stuff to an AI model stealing artwork without permission for others to use to generate art is apples and oranges. You still aren't addressing the blatantly obvious point - artwork on the internet being used without permission. People are selling or using these generated AI works (by themselves or apart of a book, etc.). This causes issues.

And I am a Software Engineer - yes I know it's a meme but I'm not referring to that. Good programmers don't copy and paste from the internet constantly. If it's an algorithm, sure that is fine. But a good programmer can generally develop features on the frontend/backend for software without needing heavy assistance.

Philips' CEO's salary for 2023 is 6.7million USD. I can see another way to improve the company's financial situation.

Iteration 1 of something that is not a general intelligence and is not the beginnings of a general intelligence will not become a general intellignece by iteration 2, 3, 4, or 5.

It's a text generator. Nothing more. It cannot perform complex tasks. It can generate simple code based on probabilities, but if you ask it to do anything remotely complex like write an optimized minecraft style block based rendering engine, it can't do it. It might try, but the code isn't going to work. A lot of time it generates pseudocode too. Like it might generate code with a function renderminecraftterrain() with no actual code for that function and then it will tell you that function should contain the code to render the terrain in plain english after the code.

Put humans in prison. Fines and warnings are ineffective.

I think you mean after.

Spoken like a paranoid fool who has not used it, has no idea what is actually good and bad at, what it's limitations are, or how it works.

I've been using ChatGPT for weeks to generate short stories. Let me tell you what I've learned:

ChatGPT is not a general intelligence. It is a text generator, which generated text by figuring out the next most likely word to appear after what it has said previously, weighting these probabilities by the input you provide it.

It has a limited ability to remember what it was talking about. For example, if you have three characters in a story, and you ask it to generate interactions between two of them, and you don't mention the third character continuing to exist and interact with them, it will basically forget that character exists.

It will also tend to forget important details about characters and things. For example, if your characters are in a holodeck, and that holodeck becomes a forest, ChatGPT will eventually forget they were supposed to actually be in a holodeck.

You also need to be extremely precised about your descriptions of what is happening. It can easily be confused because english is not a precise language. For example if you say "Jim is walking with Bob, and he turns and asks him for a cigarette.", ChatGPT is just as likely to assume "he" refers to Bob as it is to assume it refers to Jim, so it is safer to write "Jim is walking with Bob, and Jim turns and asks Bob for a cigarette." completely forgoing the use of personal pronouns.

The filters they have on the AI to make it "good" also constantly mess up the stories you're trying to generate because it will endeavour to make every character behave in ways which are good, and it will often refuse entirely to generate content where one character would harm another. So for example, even if you trick it into generating an evil character by telling it at the start that all characters know none of the other characters will harm them and they are invicible and immortal but will pretend as if they are not, but none of them will comment on this being the case and they will all act as if it is all real... It will still tend to try to make the evil character regret their actions and release the person they had imprisoned or whatever.

The filters ultimately making trying to write stories with the AI a real chore. You constantly need to ask it to re-write sections, and getting it to write bits of story over time as multiple responses insead of having it try to write a whole story as a single page with The End at the end of it is also difficult.

That said, it's a valuable creative tool, and even though the language it produces can be rather simplistic and straightforward and dull unless you ask it to write in the style of famous fantasy authors or whatever, and tell it to change perspectives between characters, it's still good enough to be of use as a tool for creatives.

But what it is not, is good enough to REPLACE creatives. CharGPT can no more replace writers or programmers than Photoshop's magic fill tool can replace artists, or Visual Studio's reccomend feature replaces coders. It's just another tool in one's arsenal.

Maybe it'll get a lot better in the neat future, but I still forsee it having problems. Another issue it has is that it does not understand spatial relations. So if you tell it thing A is inside thing B, which is inside thing C, it will get confused about it. Like if you tell it a person is in a car and the doors and windows are closed, it will still have them talk to other characters outside the car as if their voice is not impeded at all.

In short, it's still a long long ways away from being something to be worried about.

Do you not have to give them your Email and Phone Number to access it? I went to make an account and after giving them my email to verify, I now have to give them my phone number to verify. I just closed it, but now they have my email and countless others.

Edit: They sell your personal information to the highest bidders. You paid with your personal information.

People are acting like it's the damned holy grail...

Won't believe actual scientists because "news source is x,y,z" but this thing KNOWN for being able to access ALL the web, even false information, spitting it as fact... "hey were saved" 😩🙄

That tracker lists Carvana and Capital One as tech companies.

We can see that if you merely class every company doing anything as a tech company then "tech" is laying off a lot.

The very idea that Microsoft, Amazon and Carvana are colluding to bring anyone to heel is ridiculous.

Just cut the dealer out already and have ford locations sporadically throughout the state you live in. Every vehicle I have purchased I got zero benefit from a salesmen beside grief and the “games” you play with them

> In Silicon Valley, the new year began as the last one ended — with tens of thousands of tech workers losing their jobs. Just a few days into 2023, Amazon Chief Executive Andrew Jassy announced that there would be 18,000 layoffs across the company. Within weeks, Microsoft revealed it was slashing its head count by 10,000 and Google said that it was terminating 12,000 employees. IBM looks to be next, with nearly 4,000 workers on the chopping block.

3 of those 4 companies are not Silicon Valley companies.

You need to fit it in GPU VRAM. So go ahead and show me a consumer GPU with 750GB of VRAM.

cheers for the nuggets!

Checks calendar. Yep, Sunday was definitely after 2021.

Twilio already does those verifications. Next idea?

It wasn't always like this, and it doesn't have to be like this either.

It has limited knowledge of things before 2021.

Electrify America is a scam to collect government subsidies.

They already do that

Twilio already requires you to authenticate ownership (or have purchased it directly via twilio) of any caller Id numbers.
