Personally I love ChatGPT and think this should be implemented in schools in the future for writing courses. Many times people have concepts they wish to express but are not so proficient in what is the cultural “prestige” writing. I think it is much more important to creatively combine concepts and apply them, compared to the nitty-gritty of fine writing.

Also, I feel the rise of Chat GPT will result in more value for verified human-written or human-supervised content. I will much prefer hearing an organic, person’s personal experience in another country, for example, as a verification for things that actually happened, compared to a fictitious AI generated story. Now combine a verified human + AI assistance, you have a reliable narrator and good content.

The hardest hit will probably be to the anonymous writers and commenters, who cannot provide verification of being actual sources, and will be washed in the storm of AI content.
not so much. at the last investment bank i worked at we had about 10 developers writing code to support about 10 traders, perhaps a few more. i don't think this is unusual. this is complex stuff that is changing all the time due to regulatory and business issues.
Obviously FAANG isn't going to pay you six figures if you don't have credentials. That being said, I got my first couple jobs in the industry with nothing more than a GED. My ex-boyfriend built his own hosting company when he was 16 and was making passive income before he left high school. Some doors are closed if you lack a college education, but most paths are still open.
Ok, new lows, replying to myself:

https://www.minitool.com/backup-tips/crucial-bx500-vs-mx500....

Is this ChatGPT written or minimum wage copywriter written? Does it matter? It doesn't help me in the least and it's the first result for "crucial bx500 vs mx500".
I think that characterization only applies to young people: no standards, no idea of what they want or what they're looking for, but imagine that someone else in their life will bring clarity.

Yes, it's quite easy for your average woman to be bombarded with men on OLD. But after a certain age, it starts becoming a problem when you're looking for something more serious. You have a better grasp of who you are, and what you want, and the majority of the men flooding in are not "up to snuff."

A simple progression of tastes. You may have been able to stomach junk food and boxed wine everyday in younger days, but now it revolts you -- and you need something different. Something with subtlety and depth that adds to your life, rather than getting in the way of it.

The majority of people using OLD are young, and shallow, and so the platforms cater to them: creating an experience that's quick, and without depth.

Tinder and Bumble the obvious examples. Compare to OkCupid (before it was bought out by Match.com, and completely destroyed): you could find people and filter through all of them based on a very large amount of aspects you considered important (values, lifestyle, beliefs, etc.) -- to cut down on the wasted time.

Hinge is probably the only dating app I can think of at the moment that creates an experience that isn't so shallow (but it lacks vision, and pales in comparison to what could be -- likely due being developed, once again, by Match).

There's no conclusion here, just my thoughts.
If something is built as a browser extension and the requests it sends look like the browser would normally then it must be hard to detect.

The requirement for the extension/plug-in has to be that: it looks like someone uses Twitter normally.
Coincidentally, I just watched a TEDx video, "The Hidden World Beneath the Antarctic Ice Sheet", by John Priscu, who is really an amazing scientist.

Another, to me stunning example right now is online banking. I ought to have two passwords (or even a separate app.) One that lets me check my balance, or pay a regular bill, and another that lets me empty the account. But no. It I want to check my balance, I have to put my whole account at risk. WTH.
Hey, Andy! Representing the MKE! Word! Lol.
What I want in a split keyboard is rollers or wheels built into the inside edges of the 2 halves. That would let my thumbs reach them pretty easily, and because they're mostly hidden within the keyboard body like a mouse wheel they wouldn't be wasting precious key space.

Canada had both numbers. The kph was on top and larger. The mph was below and smaller, obviously. Now the mph has been removed for quite some time.
English dubbed English subs are completely different, the subs (presumably) being translations of the original language instead of the dubs. It's very jarring and I can only imagine this getting better with AI.
Still waiting for antibiotics-resistant bacteria pandemics.
My electricity is ~53% in total and ~80% marginally in wintertime produced by natural gas. They're pretty correlated here and likely to remain so for a decade or more.

If they do disconnect and electric becomes advantageous, I'll have saved money for likely a decade and can consider switching at that point. (It was capital costs that made it non-advantageous, not operating costs.)
I never used one, but I'd assume they're as good at following the plan as you are (I had read some articles that said some of these lenders operate on voluntary repayment, no fees, no collections, but I don't know how widespread that was), but interest rate arbitrage has to be considered against the effort.

It's much less effort to use my everything credit card and get my 2% discount than to do a 0% apr over four months (or whatever), setup a new account, setup payment at that new account, remember to make the payments, etc and for what? Short term bank interest on most of my purchases would be peanuts, especially since I wasn't getting 2% bank interest when BNPL was at 0%.
I have "1-2" children in part because the costs have skyrocketed and also because the nanny state says I go to jail if my kid say walks alone to the playground, so there is no time to micromanage more than 1 or 2 people to the extent they can't even walk without supervision. If you read about "child abuse stories" where some evil villan allowed the kids to play outside it is almost invariably someone with 3+ children (and usually a single mom) because with that many kids it's impractical and possibly even impossible to follow the every wish and demand of every asshole with a cellphone in their hand and ready to call CPS at the drop of a hat.
Common sense would suggest to use probiotics instead because, like AI, they adapt and overcome with the same genetic variations these pathogens use to mutate and create their offensive capabilities. Bacteria are advanced biological machines that evolve so it does not make sense to fight them with static defense mechanisms.
It doesn't take place in Antarctica, but The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard describes such a future - the last remnants of civilization have retreated to Greenland, and London is a flooded tropical lagoon.
That’s why I’m saying you should wait until you have an idea of how much time a task takes before automating it.

If manually providing reports uses up a lot of your time, you can always build the admin tool. But if you build a tool that no one ends up needing, or if building it takes more time than you save, you can’t exactly un-build it and get your time back.
Sorry, but I don't see how this is a clarifying response.

Research, composition, and communication are a big chunk of what ChatGPT is good at assisting. I don't know enough to claim that it /is/ the general case, but it's very likely not a minority.

And if that's the case, and these activities are not /essentially/ bullshit, then I'm still wondering how AI disruption can be claimed to be a reliable signal of bullshit.
Yes, which is why eg. where I'm from (northern Europe) recycling plastic hasn't even been a thing until very recently, except for things such as PET bottles which have a deposit and which recycle very well. Improved automatic sorting machines have made plastic recycling more feasible, and providing a separate bin for plastics is now required for medium and high density residential properties. (It has been normal for decades to have separate bins for glass, metal, paper, and cardboard; in recent years bins for plastics and biodegradable waste have been introduced as well. There has never been just a single all-purpose "recyclables" bin.)

And yes, a lot of household plastic still isn't recyclable because there are just so many types of plastic, with so many different additives used. But it is also a case of "build it, and they will come"; new industrial uses for recycled plastics do pop up once the infrastructure for delivering high-enough-quality streams of raw materials is in place.
We overestimate ChatGPT because it talks nice. The actual heuristics it uses to find it's answers and the 'logic' it employs is pretty ugly, but since AI is a black box we never really interact with that part.
Yeah, indeed, doing it in pure LiveView is a realistic option, but it does degrade the user experience for e.g. someone on a crappy 3G mobile connection.

I really like the idea he had of using it to teach him another language. Chatting with a bot sounds incredibly dull but if its interactions increase your skill in a language maybe its worth it.
>If memory serves that same co-founder wrote multiple blog posts where he pointed out various races just don't do well online. Maybe just maybe he doesn't want certain people using his app?

The OkCupid guy posted data showing that Asian men and Black people in general got worse responses on OkCupid. All indications are that the data was fairly collected. He described this as an unfortunate bias present in the population.

It's extremely unfair and counterproductive to accuse him of encouraging racism when he was in fact calling it out.
ChatGPT is basically automated reversion to a slightly worse mean for applicable areas. The algos as sophisticated as they are produce a credible remix of the training input.
Prof. Kipping is well known for his Cool Worlds youtube channel, which is fantastic.

I don't think so. The internet is already full of shit sites, you can automate spam very easily in any quantity.

But chatGPT would actually write useful texts, most of them more useful than the average blog post. Over a few years they might be just as good as the best human articles.

Normal people could write a draft version and have chatGPT reword it, that would control the contents of the article. But I expect spammers would just clone other articles, they don't have the time.

One thing AI could do is to scale up validation. Search every topic and note the answers - do they concur? do they disagree? what is the distribution. Maybe there is no answer?

This would be a reference for AI to stop hallucinating and making factoid mistakes. The model should know when it doesn't know, or when it is stepping on a landmine by forgetting to mention something.

In the end I think the internet is going to be full of spam, AI generated or not. And we will need to use more AI to extract the signal from the noise. This time it should be local AI under user control.

This is where Event Driven Architecture can make a huge difference. Having some topics you can subscribe and publish to means you can add new features and entire apps.
> It'd be a pretty big shift in patterns and so far the Internet operator consensus has been to avoid this.

Agreed, but if there is any hope to avoid even more centralization to enforce censorship, that stance has to change. And better it changes now and gradually so that everyone can adjust, than that it changes rapidly e.g. as the result of opposition to yet another censorship bill.
The ai censorship is of the modern "social justice" form, which does not find roots in "waspy Protestants".
How big is your horde of GPU's? I'm gonna guess that a single instance of ChatGPT is ~2400GB of weights, so you're gonna be needing 105 RTX4090's costing a whopping $210k to run the thing...

And swapping data between SSD and video RAM to run it on smaller cheaper hardware probably isn't gonna be possible because transformer architectures typically need to reuse the weights once for every token emitted, so even the fastest SSD's would be too slow.

And if you have 105 RTX4090's, you're probably gonna run afoul of nvidias 'no datacenter use' terms. So you'll have to splash out for models allowed in datacenters, which are 5x the price or so for the same amount of compute.
I have tinnitus. I always describe my particular case as sounding like a dialup modem that's being "muffled" because it's in the next room over, behind closed doors. With this I can now pinpoint the specific section (ANSam, 0:09–0:10).
It's like mortgage, the existence of mortgages hurts the home buyers and increases the price of homes. You have to compete with other people willing to enslave themselves with long mortgages to buy the house.

But approach a simple minded person and he'll say, "how can you get a house without mortgages"?

People are so quite bad at understanding the interests behind actions and instead buy the misleading narrative that pushes them to do the complete opposite.

Everyone's predicting the weather is going to become more chaotic yet the conclusion is that somehow we should rely on it to produce energy. Want to guess what would happen when that backfires? Oil makes a comeback and these people take a huge unearned profit.

I think any solution to climate change that involves relying on the climate is absolutely bonkers. It's ridiculous. You have leaders flying jets and having coast line houses lecturing you about climate. Watch what they do not what they say. Words lie but actions betray thoughts.
I'll pay up to $150/month for chatGPT but it's a massive nope if they have a credits system.

I'll even consider paying more but if the access is metered, my usage pattern will change in precisely the way you describe. At that point, it's not worth it.
Regarding 2, it's well known that wetware online are already pretty bad at passing a persuasiveness turing test.

(spellcheck means we no longer have to worry about getting distracted by orthography; if gpt means we no longer have to worry about getting distracted by grammar, I should hope we could then move on to helping people express actual ideas)
That's a good idea, I think partnerships are definitely the way to go, especially with content producers like HB. White-labeling is also very interesting, we know of a few really good examples of that in the mobile market. Probably something more towards the future though, right now we're focused on getting content!
Cloudflare Wins CISA Contract for Registry and Authoritative DNS
Sometime last year, someone published a guide on auto-generating subtitles using an emacs plugin and WhisperAI. A lot of anime release groups use it so they can get an English subtitled version of a show released a couple hours after it airs in Japan.

It's nice to have access sooner, especially for less popular shows that might never get any kind of release outside of Japan, but it's a lot worse then most fan subs and sometimes misses entire sections of dialog.
A lot of those efforts were based around expert systems and failed for many of the same reasons many other expert systems suffered from.

I would suggest that a lot of medical questions are now answered by Dr. Google which implicitly does a lot of behavioral modeling / statistics in their machine learning and is already very successful.
When everything will suck a bit more in the future, will it then recursively suck even more over time given that AI feeds itself content?
>I vehemently disagree. Cracked users of commercial software ARE your target market that, for any reason, can't afford to pay you. They would if they could.

I think we actually agree. You said “They would if they could”, that’s exactly what I’m saying.

Especially in business software, the risks associated with piracy always outweigh the benefit of free software for those that can actually pay.

The person who is trying to learn, or uses the cracked software while climbing up the pay-scale will eventually turn in to a paying user.

As others have said, getting cheeky and letting folks know that you know the software is pirated is also a good approach.

Price-testing as you mentioned can also be valuable. Spending energy on DRM or anti-piracy schemes beyond a little Easter-egg/joke/warning is a waste of energy better spent on improving your product for your actual paying customers.
I mean you're right, I coded it quick in bash. The actual `grep` is of course bulletproof but I don't have a bulletproof notification system. If I was on a local unix machine I'd use `mail` but I mostly check gmail. I can use a simple smtp bridge but it's not always reliable

I've been meaning to set up automated testing where it sends an email every day and then I use something like google apps script to make sure it goes through. Like a cronjob checker but for email, maybe it already exists

SMTP "forwarding" (sending an email message with a header "To: <originaladdress>", to a different "RCPT TO: <differentaddress>") is "broken by design"?

Sure, it's probably silly. But, SMTP is what it is, and you're not going to change it by complaining

SPF's design just ... forgot about this, which happens all the time for email.

Every MTA -- literally every forwarding MTA -- does this all day long, and every receiving MTA (which looks at the "Return-Path: <originaladdress>" to lookup the SPF TXT record), gets your fancy "v=spf1 ... nothing w/ forwarding MTA in it ... -all" record, and summarily executes the email w/ SPF: FAIL?

It's just wrong. SPF can only serve as one (strong) hint that an email might be correct, if it passes. If it fails, all your MTA can assume is: "well, the email was very likely forwarded"; what else does it have going for it?

If its "DKIM-Signature: ..." header is valid, that it's almost certainly A-OK! So, why do you want all your domain's nicely DKIM-signed emails dropped, just because some recipient decided to use a "forwarding" email address?

That seems silly.
American Express: your last name is improper
There is a business opportunity here IMHO for success for a player with much better aligned incentive structure with their users. (I perceive there's plenty of money in the market however much a monopoly it tends to be now.)

Vanguard did/does this with mutual funds for example and grew to be the biggest player (while still leaving plenty on the table for others) in the market. You just have to make it part of your core business model and marketing strategy and stick with it long enough to see success.

Here's my stab at how to align incentives for dating sites, both the business, the customer, the employees and the stockholders. Commit to the following type of pricing model and market the heck out of you wanting to see your customer succeed:

Your initial price is $50/month (the going rate IIRC).

After two months it drops to $40/month.

After six months it drops to $35/month.

After a year it drops to $30/month

After two years it drops to $20/month (below or just at or only slightly above your marginal cost-to-serve)

(Vary the dollar values above depending on your economics and behaviors. Maybe you start people at $60/mo, higher than competitors for example but reassure people it will auto-drop for them.)

Then you are incented to get people good matches most at the point at which they are most engaged. If your employees are not striving to get people matches at that point, your business will suffer. If you find yourself with a low-margin business with too many $20/mo customers, your stock valuation will suffer.

Two other pieces of data I would gather when trying to setup my internal metrics:

1) Ask each customer when they signup what their ideal timeline (2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, etc) is to A) meet someone through the site, B) have a steady relationship, and (if applicable) C) get married. Understand the demand/expectations curve and how it intersects with your pricing curve.

2) Offer customers a $20 refund when leaving the service to tell you if they got married, are in a serious relationship, or never got anywhere with your service. Incent the customer to help you measure your success rate and its correlation with their initial expectations, individually and in bulk. Give customers the option of explicitly refusing to get the refund because they are so satisfied, or to give you a tip and use that as a key KPI measuring customer satisfaction.

The above pricing curve also ironically adds stickiness the steeper the price drops are, because people won't want to quit and then resignup later since their price might triple if there's a chance they might get more active again on your site in the next few months. You just don't want your initial price to be too steep to drive too many people off.
While the original Puritanism is gone, it left behind a set of tools and tactics and strategies that "in" groups can deploy to bludgeon "out" groups. That's why we see revivals of behaviors that look suspiciously Puritanical - it was simply very good at its job.
Just for curiosities sake I fell down the rabbit hole and ran the numbers (please someone correct me if I'm wrong on this - it's been a loooooong time since I did statistics). This is all assuming some sort of even distribution of land/water, so the numbers don't reflect real world continental distribution, but I don't know how to account for that.

We have a 30% chance of picking a random point on Earth and getting land. Because earth is so big and these theoretical points are so small I'm going to assume that one point of land existing doesn't effect the odds of another piece of land existing. So that's two antipodal points, each with a 30% chance of being land.

Putting that into a probability calculator (again, long time since statistics) that gives us odds of both point A & B being land as 9%. If we flip that around and go with the 30% land and 70% water odds we end up with a chance of 21%. It seems like there's actually MORE land that's antipodal to other land than we'd expect statistically? I must have some bad math here.

That's not the simplest explanation as our current theories limit the amount of normal matter that can exist and galaxies behave gravitationally as though there must be a lot more than normal matter. Normal matter that is invisible to us is not a viable solution to the evidence.
