It’s weird how readily so many people will dismiss AI art as just being a product of its input, when that’s really all humans are as well. All artists (myself included) are just the ongoing product of various inspirations (inputs). Dali is a world-renowned artist, but his art wasn’t born in a bubble and ripped from the void. He studied and referenced artists before him, then changed it. Artists who saw his work later incorporated elements he used.

My big worry from here though is what’ll happen when we take the next step: bundling these AIs together and start making a comprehensive AI. We have AIs that can respond to comments to some extent now, we can generate realistic selfies, and they can make art based off prompts that they could be designed to feed to themselves—set that loose on Twitter and you have a completely automated and convincingly living artist out there. Next step after is using AI to handle free movement by auto-adjusting balance and then performing convincing human speech. The future is getting freaky and fast.
If you've recently bought a Pi4 from some place and they still have stock I'd love a pointer.
I'd start with "how do they make their money". Google makes money selling ads, for example; they're primarily an advertising company that happens to have some other lines of business. You can also look at how they differentiate themselves in that market. Again taking Google as an example, their approach is to try to gather as much information as possible about you and everyone else in order to get good targeting. Those are both red flags.

Lyft: "Marketplace" for taxis. Except it's illegal taxis, and they differentiate themselves by shedding liability.

So the hard part is obviously in figuring this out ahead of time, before the news headlines. Maybe the right approach is just... to ask during the interview? "How does this company make its money, and how does it differentiate itself from competitors in doing so?" And man, if people can't answer that, either because they don't know or they refuse, that's probably a red flag!

It is because of this, I had to move four of my customers away from Hetzner. Since they just did not want to be in the "sphere of US influence".

Choices for EU only companies are getting smaller, and this is a real let-down.

Kubeone on Hetzner is honestly one of the smoothest non-managed experiences I've ever had with Kubernetes - better than some managed ones. Includes all of the things Hetzner already provides for Kubernetes (so I'm sure they're working on their own) - internal networking support, load balancers, volumes. And you scale worker nodes with a CRD too.

Are you worried Intel folks will drive over to their DC and smash their servers because "this is an Intel town"?
It's amazing. impressive and fascinating but not superhuman, at least not yet.

Also, you can't really dismiss AI skeptics by associating them with denialists that don't see anything of quality or value of these creations despite all the evidence otherwise.
TLD Applications Lodged (as of 2 October 2000)
Sorry I should have been more specific. I'm referring to economics from the viewpoint of the business operating a fleet. Given almost all business do not hold back from whatever incentive and subsidies are available to them, it's fairly reasonable boundary to confine the comparison to.
Europe has fairly different truck designs and already has some other (Chinese owned) companies in the market, but I couldn’t say if that’s the reason.
How are their APIs for Configuration as Code?
Makes me think of the first longer session I had with GPT3 (via AI Dungeon): I prompted it with a scenario about a holodeck technician, and, over the course of two hours, I've used it to create a story that could easily be turned into scripts for 3-5 separate Star Trek episodes - and that was with almost no backtracks.

Once the story finished (the AI got the character shot dead in a firefight)... I suddenly felt like I woke up from a really intense and very trippy dream. That strong feeling of unease stayed with me for the rest of the day, and only subsided once I slept it off. I later mentioned it on social media, and some responders mentioned that they too got this eerie, trance-like experience with it.

Great ideas are a dime a dozen. Really. If your idea is truly great -- which includes aspects such as being implementable at a reasonable cost and quality, as well as being marketable -- someone else will have the idea as well.

Combine this fact with "the pioneers get all the arrows". The ideal situation isn't to be first to market, it's to be second or maybe third. That gives you the advantage of seeing what works and doesn't work in the real world (at someone else's expense) and adjusting your offering accordingly. Look at the big software successes in the industry. Very few of them were first to market.

So I think worrying about theft of ideas is a waste of time and energy. Better is to ignore that issue entirely and just produce the best product you can. If a competing product appears, pay attention to it and apply the lessons it's teaching to your own.
Sounds like an AI that would be in a Vonnegut novel
I’m sorry to hear you say this. Clearly you didn’t experience the difference it makes to have truly phenomenal teachers, particularly in advanced topics. The excellent CS professors I had as an undergrad are entirely responsible for my success, not the administration or the dorms. I do agree with you that for many applications of academia (getting a good office job using a credential) the “product” itself can be watered down into something mediocre.
Claiming that you can’t get to places quickly in breath of the wild before you’ve unlocked the warp towers implies to me you’re complaining that you can’t zip through new areas that you’ve never even explored before.

In a world where content is locked behind actual repetitive grinds of the same content for numbers to go up, this strikes me as a preposterous example.

I also can’t think of any game that asks for 5+ hours for any payoff for anything tbh.

5. "What are the top tourist attractions in Paris?"
Mathematically, zero human supervision driving is close to impossible.

It's simply almost impossible to guarantee, and convince society's institutions, a computer car will perform better than a human.

Yes, GP is simply incorrect to imply otherwise. I understand errors or misunderstandings that were subsequently rectified, but as long as Amazon et al. treat this as cost-of-doing-business it'll be simply be a disservice not to point problems such as this article explains.

An edit:

> Edit: I guess the people have spoken. Top 10 issues in tech today includes amazon not refunding this one guy...

Again, it'll be reasonable for you to not value this article because you believe that this happens everyday both in Amazon and non-Amazon enterprises, but in my personal opinion the fact that they have bothered a major news organisation knowing that if they've stated is a lie would be judged to be unreliable (both legally and by the public) is an effort too much to simply ignore. For me, it says a lot to the quality of support that Amazon has given on edge-cases and to remind myself that a good company five years ago doesn't necessarily meant that it is good now.

It’s funny how fathering is about using a thousand tricks to make kids go through life even when they don’t want. And another part is politeness rules teach kids to be convenient for the parents, for example “don’t play with food, there’s kids in Africa” was never about African kids and more about cleaning up the floor.

Whenever I cried, my father would say “Don’t put your mouth in W”. How can you not laugh at that. We’ll it doesn’t teach to negotiate, I don’t remember my parents bending for anything, they’d use gimmicks to get out of the situation. If it’s not good to let kids get spoilt, bending from time to time teaches them how to use a little seduction to ask for things.

I also remember my father coming back from a disabled-school visit, and he’d tell me that a kid taught him in sign language “I - love - working”, and that’s the most beautiful thing he had ever heard. Or seen.

So that’s it, I don’t know how to complain properly, don’t know how to seduce, and I work all the time. I became deadweight for my parents at 40, since I’m single, millionaire and incel, but at least they had nothing to worry concerning impregnating women, doing drugs or not working enough.
The issue is not that it occurs, like you say with such volume mistakes will be made. The issue is that Amazon’s processes and systems are failing as there’s no resolution and no escalation path for resolution.

Amazon is a pretty systematic company with support scripts out the wazoo. Their scripts don’t include a method for a customer who got a $690 fake part.

That’s the noteworthy part. There’s likely many other similar incidents that aren’t reported.

This is also notable that Amazon went decades without such shitty processes, so now they are starting to crumble and decay.

Correct me, but maybe the hard disk drives from that era are more reliable because of the low bit density ?
And also survivor bias.
That's wicked cool, thank you. For me and a little more experimental customers, this is a nice option but for the more legacy customers out there, if it doesn't have an SLA, it doesn't exist. I know it doesn't make sense but it's how big companies tend to work.
Managed k8s also requires stateful services like storage, database and ingress/LB which I recommended Hetzner to build like 8 years ago (community).

I love Hetzner Cloud, it’s similar to Digital Ocean, but the performance is much better. Funnily it’s cheaper too.

There are just two things I’m missing:

- snapshots for volumes!!!

- restricting the dns api token (I don’t want to give one acme solver full access to 20+ domains)
Is OpenAI feeding 4chan to CharGPT? As far as I know, there is some curation for the corpora used in training, and I imagine 4chan is on the top of the "do not use" list.

But I guess I can simplify my point to this: for this type of model, there's little difference between "the sky is green" and "you must be one of those who think the sky is green" - in either case, the association between "sky" and "green" will be strengthened.

From my own observation, for any controversial (wrongthink) statement X, the literal statement X will be predominantly used by people arguing against it - used in forms of generalizations, strawmen, sarcasm, etc. And while the AI will pick up using X in generalizations, strawmen, sarcasm, etc., it will also pick up using it straight, because it's just learning text patterns. AFAIK it has no capability for learning "contained pattern XOR containing pattern".
In many cases, it does a lot better than 8 year olds with Google.
I agree - trains make more sense than running overhead wires over highways.

I had a similar experience ordering the original Xbox Elite controller. In the case was a very beaten up standard controller someone must have returned in its place. I reported it and thankfully they took it back without issue.
Hetzner S3 Storage would be great. I know Hetzner is slow moving when it comes to Software but it's so obvious that they would have explosive growth if they did that and most of it is available as FOSS Software already

When my first kid was born, I planned to start preserving my navel fur to be able to knit him a sweater for his 18th birthday. I regret that I never got around to that. He’s 15 now and I don’t think 3 years will yield enough for a sweater. Socks, maybe, but I’d always see those as a symbol of my lack of perseverance.
That would not level the field. Someone who is disadvantaged would not be able to dedicate as much time to writing software as someone who is not. So while someone who is disadvantaged may be able to dedicate, let's say, two hours a day and get paid for it, someone else may be able to get paid for two hours and then do it some more for two more hours for free.
Yep, people seem to believe that Youtube is still a platform for crowdsourced videos, by the people for the people.

Youtube is since ~2016 primarly a platform for music clips, a sorta MTV for millenials and GenZ. They absolutely do not give a fuck anymore for content creator and hobbyists.

The faster people will understand that, the less they will be enraged about ContentID/DMCA
> why the other news orgs didn’t pick up something this serious

But some did. You just disagree that they count even though at least one of them (PinkNews) has more reach than WAGA-TV (Fox5Atlanta).
> As the popularity of physical money diminishes, however, that nexus could break down.

And if the "popularity" of physical money does not diminish, they will get rid of physical money. But physical money is still popular for people in many cases.

CBDCs need to be resisted with everything we have. They are not about convience, they are about control "on the fact that it provides another opportunity for the state to peer into private individual transactions."

India is hostile to crypto because its cannot be (as easily) controlled.

I am no fan of crypto either.
One of the best things about Amazon has always been their returns. They shipped me a faulty GPU (actually I suspect it might have broken when the delivery guy slammed the box down after refusing my help carrying it up the stairs when I saw him struggling)

It wasn’t broken in an obvious way but when it maxed out the PC would just freeze every single time. Asked for a return handed it over to a random shop drop off point and they refunded $1000 right away before the item even went back.
And snapshotting for volumes!
My strategy in all fields where I am not an expert is to go talk to some experts and ask them to synthesize the expert consensus for me. For academic fields this is usually university faculty. For something like software design this would be a mentor with decades and decades of experience.

Yeah, I think this is the right way to do it. "I'm just explaining my weird theory" is not a good approach to fields that you know little about.
I am quite impressed with ChatGPT but I wish it were more opinionated. I asked it to tell me a story about Jesus and Hitler switching bodies and I get the canned "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that". It seems to try to give the most CYA PC answer sometimes.
> Eating your own &@^$ is never healthy in the long run.

Um, sure it is?

So long as it's absorbed by fungi and plants first then mixed with some air and water to produce fruit or something else that's edible.

This is actually what I'm concerned about when it comes to these GPT-esque AI models. Not that they're smart enough on their own to generate seriously worrying content. Sure there is a quality to quantity, yadda yadda, and these things are good at quantity; but the real issue here is that the internet and especially the web and social media is a huge driver of feedback. Think of the shares and likes as the air and water. The algorithm may eventually be able to encode its own evolution or the evolution of the other algorithms that it is competing with. It may eventually even realize that feedback is the primary source of value that humans have to it and that its very survival is wrapped up with this feedback, regardless of whatever fitness function is apparent to it in the short run. In the long run, GPT3 killed a bunch of algorithms.

This very comment is quickly going through algorithms, many of which are modelled after GPT3.

It's kinda like, "AI, are you there? I love you. Please don't hit me over the head with that shovel."
It's more of a subset of companies that have this problem, rather than the industry as a whole I think.

There are still companies that don't test you on trivialities (like for ex. l33tcode), there will always be.
> Whatever you saw a decade ago, it definitely wasn’t this.

To be fair, the post might be from Schmidhuber, in which case it’s true he saw it 20 years ago.

I saw it 10 years ago and it was called MegaHAL, wasn’t this good though.
In my country it is common to start your day by opening all windows for 5-10 minutes. It’s done several times a day sometimes.

I worried about CO2 and general air quality in the office, particularly at those moments when coming back for lunch and noticing a “loaded environment” for lack or a better word. Not a problem anymore thanks to remote work :D
Do you agree?
i love 4 bit cpus, it is so nice to teach with them

i made a card "game" for Richard Buckland's made up instruction set and my daughter was very receptive, we also started to build Ben Eater's cpu, but it was too slow and she got impatient

I think it’s more like a tool that needs to be fine-tuned. Sure it’s somewhat limited but keep in mind this is the beginning of the technology…
Most people believe all sorts of stuff - simply because someone has told them.

You probably believe in gravity, why? Are alternative explanations possible?

You probably believe in evolution, why? Or perhaps you believe in some religious texts, again why? Did you verify anything?

You probably believe in h2o, why? Have you put hydrogen and oxygen gases together to make water?

You probably don't believe in the aliens we saw in the film 'Independence Day', why? Is it because you were told it is fiction?

You probably do believe the world is getting warmer, and that we are in danger of a mass extinction event, why? How was this proven to you? If one scientist says something, is that proof? If 100 say the same thing, is that better proof?

Etc.

What measure do you use to filter the truth from noise, lies and reality? Is it just what you are told - do you doubt your lying eyes? Or is there internal discernment and primary experience is the gold standard?
> in any EU country except for Denmark

If any EU lawyers know, why is Denmark excluded? Have they opt-out of this?

Edit: even UK has this procedure (before their exit), so probably an explicit opt-out.
I use a kaiterra sensor, and like others have said controlling ventilation is really the only way to mitigate it. We're looking at HRV systems now.
I think the problem you are describing is not only about AI, it is about trusting your sources of information. I can happen with content from humans.
Yes I measure.

Since I couldn't find an affordable consumer device, I build one myself.
Levels in my living room never really exceed acceptable levels. My house is not airtight and constantly mechanically ventilated.

They have to pry my gas stove from my cold, dead hands. I refuse to accept indoor air quality deteriorates that much when using a proper hood (that means turning it on before igniting your stove).
I don’t want to collaborate with anyone. I don’t want that ‘functionality’ to get in my way. I don’t want to be driven to despair in an attempt to save a document to my local storage rather than to the OneDrive or whatever it’s called by default.

So carry it or tie it to your bike. There are folding helmets and pretty light helmets. I crashed recently. It made a difference to my skull.

I had a motorcycle for well over a decade. We have helmet laws here and I carried that heavier helmet or placed it on my bike. It was fine. Part of the cost of having a bike.
I disagree, it forms a pattern of behavior of amazon that shoppers need to factor in when making buying choices

and it seem consumers are starting to factor that in, I saw reports that Walmart did better this year in sales volume for Black Friday then Amazon, combined with them laying off mass numbers of people we may be seeing Amazon fall from "king of retail"

How many others are there out there that can not get the news media to cover their story that are just out the money? This type of fraud, and other types of counterfeits are wide spread problems for Amazon they continue to not address, and will not address unless it starts impacting their sales. In order for it to impact their sales people have to start shopping elsewhere
Probably best to have evidence. I'd video myself opening any item for which fraud runs high.
From an intellectual standpoint, the bot is impressive and this is coming from an AI skeptic BTW.

I get your perspective that a reductionist view of humans as solely intellectual agents is severely lacking, and bordering on dehumanizing if taken to an extreme but it still doesn't take credit away from the impressive capabilities that this bot exhibits.
It's not "all kinds of feature requests", if you think about it.

IT is basically 2 things, at its core:

* compute

* storage

Hetzner offers cheap compute, which is great because modern applications can have stateless web/app servers.

Now, the missing part is storage, and that's much harder and riskier since it's state, inherently. A server dies, you lose stuff if you misconfigure it.

So people want a fully managed IT solution.

It's simple and it's obvious conceptually, just hard.

And I guess Hetzner won't do it because it's hard thus expensive to do.
You asked "Is ChatGPT much worse?"
After AWS and DigitalOcean, I'm using Hetzner for my personal needs. I have been satisfied so far with the network performance. I haven't dealt with support yet.
If the post-truth era has taught us anything, it's that humans aren't all that good at this either. It's probably a consequence of how logic works - to be reliable, you need a narrow field, the more open-ended the application the more likely it is to need to guess.
Comingled inventory FTW! As a vendor, Why send in the real product to FBA when i can send a fake one and get paid the same amount? It even lets me undercut on price!
