You might stop some, but around here they are just cutting the steering wheel and removing the clubs.

What people don't understand is that this is simply the neoliberal economic theory as adopted by both major political parties.

Oh yeah, I see it. That's not really boot camp though. Boot camp is not an app. That's just the setup app.
The app is fully Apple Silicon native too, which is odd since as you mention, it doesn't anything except quit.

Ah yes, I've had fun with poetry too.
Rhyming in languages other than English seems difficult. I asked it for a silly rhyme in Dutch, but it didn't rhyme at all. But if I translate it to English word for word, it does rhyme. So there's something going on there.
I also tried asking it to write in 13th century Flemish, but that didn't work at all. However if I ask it to write in the style of certain medieval Flemish texts, it does! (at least it writes something that looks like middle Dutch)

Who is praising him? The person you responded to is pointing out what the issue is, not saying anyone is right for taking advantage of the issue lol. Are you a boy responding to the wrong comment? Maybe you just didn't actually read the comment you replied to or your reading comprehension is so poor you didn't understand what you were reading?

Anyone can pay to have their content appear here, unfortunately. A lot of the spammy criticism from many sources does not appear organic given how technologically illiterate it so often is.

It has already demonstrated that it can write effective code as well.
It's worrying a lot of people because of this, it's not quite what many think either. I say worrying but really we're just maybe a bit scared of admitting that a lot of work that people do can be done by such a relatively immature algorithm.

Are you under the impression that people with exceptional means are in the same circumstances as the rest of us? Do you honestly believe that these hyperwealthy people are not segregated from the general public? That seems extremely naive.
And again, do you think Musk would enjoy being surrounded by liberal figureheads? Or do you think they might be pretty shitty to hang around with, to keep up appearances? Would you voluntarily go into the room of people who hate you and/or refuse to be seen with you?

That might be putting it mildly.
Watch Tom Scott's latest video for an example of what this actually can mean, it's far more significant than it might seem from that simple description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPhJbKBuNnA&feature=youtu.be
The tl;dr is that it is doing useful work.

Reply to Google CEO Sundar Pichai asks employees to put two to four hours into helping to improve and 'dogfood' its Bard chatbot by tester989chromeos
I've been playing with chatgpt the past few days, giving it obscure scenarios (help me finish my excel vba based custom solitaire variant with a nonstandard deck and ruleset), and generally gathering info on sql, and chatting about memes occasionally.
Its been fun and interesting. I fed it a garbled mess of vba code that accessed an sql database with a dynamically generated query, asked what it did, and it spelt it all out in plain English completely accurate.
At one point it did a line by line breakdown for me and it was fantastic.
I double checked all of its answers, and except in one case, it seems accurate. And the case in which it was "wrong" was actually brought up as a caveat based on choice of sql systems, before I'd even noticed it was "wrong".
Its like having somebody to talk to about this code, and bounce ideas off of. It's how me and the sql guy at work do stuff together, he knows the syntax, I have ideas that seem obvious to me but lack the implementation knowledge, and he can do that part. It's great fun for me, and the tone of the generated text jives really well with my own conversational idiosyncrasies.

Endless spam.
We get it, some asshole billionaire has paid for a bunch of nonsense articles spreading fear about AI and specifically ChatGPT since it's the current flavour of the month.

Reply to Majority of Texans back shift to solar energy by Sorin61
Opponents of solar energy don't make convincing arguments -- the economy is going to shift to favoring renewables in the future.
No point in swimming the opposite direction of the wave.

In the words of Demi Lovato interview:
- What's your favourite dish?
- I like mugs, they are great for holding hot things and have a handle.

I live in TX. I was here when their grid failed thanks to their lack of investment in any infrastructure. Abbot can fuck himself.

When they were Intel based it was, now with the M series heir hardware is literally unmatched as of right now.
There is nothing on the market with the same performance/Wh + build quality, and their prices are even fair compared to other manufacturers.

Tech trade group TechNet gave suggested wording to NY Governor Kathy Hochul, who reportedly inserted that language verbatim.
Inserted verbatim? Tax payer dollars in action.

It looks like OP posted an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.
