How about RT, as in Robert Tronberg? People just called him by his initials, and when he chocked, they said: “RT chocked”.

Wow, I’ve never had any issues with USB ports on any of my phones. Which one of us is the outlier? Do you ram the cable in too hard? Do you bend the connector in weird ways?

Oh, that’s a very good point. I’ve already seen one LLM service that aims to summarize selected scientific sources and write articles based on them. You could feed it a bunch of historical texts and ask it to write an article based on them.

I’ve seen it sort of work with scientific articles, but those tend to be really short compared to historical records. AFAIK, even the normal GPT has some token limit, which you’ll run into during longer conversations. If you want to dump a bunch of diaries and logbooks on an LLM to answer a specific question about the motivations behind the development of flintlock rifles, you’re definitely going to run into some limitations.

Every day, every second. You’re always moving closer to the exit. It’s a scary thought, so most prefer not to think about it.

Our current AIs are kinda pathetic, and might realistically only replace mediocre artists. However, people who buy art, can’t tell the difference between good art and mediocre art, so the financial impact could be felt by a larger number of people.

It’s a bit like comparing factory made clothes to properly tailored ones. We still have both, but machines have clearly won this race. Besides, only very few people appreciate tailored clothes so much that they are also willing to pay for them. Most don’t, so they wear cheap lower quality clothes instead. I think the same will happen to music and paintings too.

Ok, now I’ve finally come to a conclusion about this debate. When a human learns to draw or write in a particular style, there are no copyright issues. However, when a machine does the same, you need to compensate the people who made the training data. Here’s why.

The training data is an essential component of of the model. It’s like building a house with bricks you didn’t pay for. If you’re building something like a house, ship, software or a machine learning model, you need to pay for the materials that are required to build it.

Actions speak louder than words. Forget whatever this guy is saying, and draw your own conclusions from the actions Russia has taken in the past.

You see, the point is that privacy is really nice to have. However, it’s not worth it when the price you pay is your mental balance and serenity. There are easier and cheaper bits of privacy you can pursue, but you need to know where to draw the line. Some things just come with an unacceptable price. Maybe GPT is like that in your case.

Sounds like you might be sacrificing your mental wellbeing for some privacy gains. You should probably consider your priorities first. Which one comes first?

What if your character is designed to fulfill the role of a tank?

  • 'Tis but a scratch.
  • I've had worse.
  • Just a flesh wound.
 

They might also be meaningless internet points. Who knows.

While I was in the shower, I thought of a brilliant idea! Let’s trigger several smaller volcanic eruptions that release a semi-controlled amount of volcanic ash into other atmosphere. That will cool down the atmosphere, which should buy us some time to fix our carbon emissions.

Then I realized, that doing so would block visible light. Plants need the light to grow, and we need the plants to breathe and eat. Obviously, this is not going to be a long term solution. Oh, and how do you even make sure the volcanic eruption doesn’t spiral out of control and suddenly spew out 50 times the ash we were aiming for. Oh, and volcanoes also spew CO2 and even nastier gases, so… It sounded so good while I was still in the shower. The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
