For software engineering it’s good at creating simple code or debugging code. It suckssss at non-simple coding. But basic stuff like “write Python code that encrypts a message using RSA” is really cool

People say it’s going to take over jobs when it can still be unreliable is baffling to me. I typed “87” out of boredom and it said it was a prime number that could be added by two other prime numbers which are 83 and 3. Very fucking wrong

But they don’t use Apple iTunes?!!?

Not to sound harsh, but I think that’s on you. OpenAI began as a nonprofit, funded by extremely wealthy entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, and then transitioned to having a for-profit arm in 2019. The fact that Microsoft and others are investing in them has been very open and public knowledge. They have already been criticized for that pivot for years.

So, how did they fail to be transparent? Don’t they literally give you a disclaimer that your responses will be used to improve it? Sorry, I don’t see how they “lured” anyone into anything.

Also, it’s extremely common for private companies to fund academic studies and institutions due to the high costs of running these labs and the potential for mutually beneficial partnerships. This also shouldn’t be surprising.

> Your suggestion is like banning alcohol manufacturers because kids get access through back-channels and drive drunk.

Or better yet, it's like banning cars because some people drive drunk. Like cars, Twilio is a critical utility for a lot of legitimate businesses and individuals.

By which you mean it is easy to legislate a ban and quite another thing to enforce a ban?

I know it’s real funny. But had bothered to read you’d know US TikTok servers switched over to Oracle last year making them entirely separate from Chinese servers.

You know a great way to stop openAI from getting your data? Stop giving it to them. Who is making you use their service?

Also I don’t work for chatGPT lmao.

Using a VPN to browse TikTok. The hilarity.

It’s good for brainstorming creative ideas. Titles, characters, descriptions, plot ideas etc.

As a fiction writer I use it a lot, but not for finished prose.

“The name is great! It’s provocative, gets the people moving.”

You have to bypass my VPN first pumpkin. You’re more than welcome to let the government dictate what you do in your life.

I’m so annoyed with greasy car salesmen I just ordered a Tesla. I didn’t even want a Tesla!

Bet the Chinese government is welcomed right in?

When it comes to my personal phone, the United States government can fuck off. What they do with government owned equipment is their business.

TikTok US servers were moved to Oracle which will ensure that US info remains separate from its Chinese parent company Jun 17, 2022. I guess you missed that part.

NGL, commenting “paywalled” in an article about mass layoffs is quite meta.

Not the sanctions, the Chinese military buying them up.

Artificially reducing demand would make them cheaper, if they're even targeted by these sanctions (I have no idea).

Including the feds, though. The point is just to make it harder, they know sanctions aren't perfect.

Uhoh, all my random D&D dungeons and taverns will spread across the world!

bans are still useful in that China will not be able to obtain them in unlimited quantities as they otherwise would

It gives them a pass to hire for less and retain others who are underpaid and unhappy. They don't need a recession to drive down employment costs, they just need to make people afraid to leave, and willing to accept less for the same job.
