Oh, for fuck’s sake. We just bought our first Garmin watches two months ago. I felt uneasy about our new relationship with yet another american corporation, but we loved the watches and the app… And now what?

Alright. Just make it illegal to operate any touchscreens while driving.

Good. Now make the touchscreens in cars illegal.

Yes. Scary.

And before that, llms in many unexpected ways.

Ads were already there for years - for Facebook, TikTok, Candy Crush, and who knows what else.

I would say this is embarrassingly unprofessional, but the truth is this is just normal these days - normalized by Facebook and Android - and I’m just old and used to better software.

I switched to Linux the same year they appeared.

hmm generating static excel reports doesn’t sound bad, as long as these are used just as output format - basically a familiar GUI.

Scale.

Ads are just pure negative. There was even one study that calculated this as a direct financial negative, although unfortunately in narrow circumstances: it was calculated that for mobile users in the US, paying for the data transferred to display the ad was more expensive than what the site owner got paid for including it on his site.

I expect this to proceed similarly: many companies and funding dollars will burn in flames and still, the world will be a different place in a decade thanks to this technology.

There should be some free ways to access gtp-4,although I didn’t try them. i.e.: https://inboom.ai/copilot-now-lets-you-use-gpt-4-turbo-for-free/

Try GPT-4. tldr: yes.

In what sense? Lying about the actual capabilities of the business? Full autonomous drive next year and Mars at 2022?

Yeah, that’s when I started to call him “The pedo guy” (using his own words).

Let’s pretend it’s because you have gone all electric.

I don’t get all the negativity on this topic and especially comparing current AI (the LLMs) to the nonsense of NFTs etc. Of course, one would have to be extremely foolish/naive or a stakeholder to trust the AI vendors. But the technology itself is, while not solid, genuinely useful in many many use cases. It is an absolute positive productivity booster in these and enables use cases that were not possible or practical before. The one I have the most experience with is programming and programming-related stuff such as software architecture where the LLMs absolutely shine, but there are others. The current generation can even self-correct without human intervention. In any case, even if this would be the only use case ever, this would absolutely change the world and bring positive boosts in productivity across all industries - unlike NFTs.

Nonsense. Not “about anything”. ChatGPT gives correct advice in many fields, some of which are directly verifiable - for example programming.

That’s one big difference between the US and the EU law. In the EU, they can’t.

I stopped using LineageOs due to their stance towards rooting and weak arguments behind it.

It is just too easy to shoot yourself in the foot when using a foot gun… Sure the experts can avoid it, but that doesn’t mean the foot gun is a good tool in general.
