It's in NAFTA 2.0 that trump passed.
Literally in a treaty.

I just went through this a couple of days ago because I needed to use an app that is Windows-only and doesn't work on Wine. Fully expected to spend several hours downloading, installing, fighting with VirtualBox and its extensions, etc. But decided to try Parallels instead and...holy hell! It was about three clicks to install Parallels and then it freaking asked if I wanted to install Windows 11, and I'm like...uh, yes? And it freaking downloaded Windows 11 from Microsoft, did an unattended installation, and just plopped me into the desktop in about 15 minutes. It works great, Desktop, Documents folders mapped back and forth, etc. The "coherence" feature lets that one app I need run in a window just like a regular Mac app.
Super impressed.

It seems like people are using it wrong to call it a con artist. It is a tool. As an underpaid teacher it helps me make worksheets and devise activities reducing my workload by a lot ! Of course it gets things wrong but you have to tweak it and reframe it until it gives you a good answer.
Also if you’re into DnD. I’m using it to for world building. I love it ! I think what’s great is that it can help the jumbled mess of ideas in your head and spit them out at you in a coherent way.
Also…. I use it learn data analysis. I’m having trouble learning Python and it helps breaks down code for me.
If you are just talking to it asking it dumb questions then you are missing the point.

I think it's more likely they're just sick of people whining about it. People have been whinging about ChatGPT for two months now, we get it.

I know we aren't there yet, but imagine what it would be like if they were sentient. Two artificially sentient beings, similar but created in slightly different ways. I wonder if it would be like a Human speaking to Neandertal for the first time. Both entities are kind of similar but probably structurally and cognitively a bit different.

Am I the only one who doesn't ask it questions and just use it to just write emails and rewrite stuff?
Like, I sum up a bunch of facts and I ask ChatGPT to write a nice coherent paragraph.
It's great, it takes so much work out of writing.
It is a language model, it can do some neat tricks, but it was designed to do language stuff.
If you ask it some technical information it may or may not generate nonsense, packages in a neat little text... because it is a language model.

If any one of you bozos had read the article you would realize that they are, in fact, trying to avoid a Skynet-type situation:
>maintain human control and involvement for all actions critical to informing and executing sovereign decisions concerning nuclear weapons employment.
​
>Kallenborn said it was also important that Washington included a call for human control over nuclear weapons “because when it comes to autonomous weapons risk, I think that is easily the highest risk you possibly have.”
So the headline is slightly misleading as this seems to be more of a "artificial intelligence military disuse initiative".

Geez, if this is what the LLM in your brain generates in response to the title, you should take a break from the internet. Disconcerting.

Let’s say an airline misplaced your luggage.
- Instruct chat GPT to write a letter to whatever the airline is.
- Ask it to insert any pertinent info
- Ask it to remove any incorrect info
- Ask it to be more or less terse and friendlier or firmer. Send letter to airline.
Time taken ~5 minutes for a professional syntactically correct 300 word email.

The problem is people stealing cars, and the solution is provide free education, UBI, affordable housing, etc., not providing anti-theft measures.

This is a good thing as long as you hold your politicians accountable for permanent wage replacement, like you should already be doing.
