With sound and on a loop š

Thanks a lot š I was wary about ālooking behind the curtainā and ruining the magic.. but I am still curious

That was a sentiment Iāve needed to see verbalised for a long time šš

Is it just me or is there a blurred line between generations now? The music from 2000 until 2025 all seems the same. Movies have kind of stuck at the āendless sequelsā stage and my friends kids seem more like they are college house mates (gaming online together, watching the same series etc)

Itās great to know a little bit about whatās going on under the hood š I had an idea at a very high level.. but I think there is always going to be a bit of mystery as they grow more complex and scale up.
Itās a pity the plagerism issues and energy usage problems are turning people into haters..
comment in response to

I think deep down I know that.. but thanks for the information š Sounds
like a really interesting line of work youāre in.
Iām fascinated by where this AI tech is going, even though it has its dark side (plagiarism, massive energy use, hallucinations etc)
Good luck with your project!

Why would this necessarily mean they are losing money on the the $20 per month product?
Iām sure the normal product has enough caps and restraints to be profitable. Wouldnāt it just mean that people are āabusingā the unlimited access for the higher plan?
Just asking, this isnāt really my field

Not sure why alot of people are lumping AI into this.. the idea of an NFT is fine. A unique token among generic ones is just a technical feature. Selling one for thousands/millions IS madness
AI might be a huge energy drain (now) but as a programmer, what I've seen so far has been amazing

Felt like a bunch of famous people coming up with flimsy reasons to be on screen together. Pointless story. No consequences for anyone (thanks to a multiverse of spare parts) Hollow, nihlistic violence set to ironically catchy music
But there were some funny quips. And Hugh jackman was all in š

But that clip really looked as if Peter Thiel was suddenly struck by a mercurial God with the curse of truth-speaking and could not articulate any plausible reason he shouldnāt be killed

This is the āburn of the weekā for me š
Great observation

Can intelligence exist in a tiny timeframe? Like say a short textual conversation. And if so, what happens if the conversation is years long and the llms memory is perfect?
Just add some kind of artificial autonomy/curiosity and voila. AGI š
I am not an expert, please go easy on me!

Exactly šš if itās not stackoverflow, itās a google result.. ai was just the next logical step

I mean āgolden ageā in an ironic way š
Youāve hit the nail on the head with AI ācreatingā art. Itās all stolen, without consent, and designed to give wealthy people access to design skills without paying a designer.
I only got excited by the fact that it could solve my programming issues quickly
comment in response to
post
There is another issue.. the internet might become filled with so much AI generated nonsense, and that in turn gets used to train the next generation of AI š£
This could be the āgolden ageā before it all goes to hell š
comment in response to
post
Thereās only three use cases I see:
Programming (and itās quiet good at that in very specific ways)
Deciphering legal jargon (but again donāt trust it fully)
And writing emails (now everyone sounds like a solicitor.. not a great result there either)

100% agree. I saw some scary stories about kids in schools citing chatGPT as fact when it was clearly hallucinating
The kids just didnāt understand.. so yeah, major issues on the horizon there and thatās really going to suck if itās not dealt with
comment in response to
post
Iām well aware of the downsides, and I donāt support any of them. Itās like crypto, huge carbon footprint to try to solve a technical issue but with the added theft of intellectual property for training
But you canāt deny itās an incredible piece of technology. And the potential is amazing
comment in response to
post
I use ChatGPT as a programming tool and itās pretty easy to determine whatās made up or not.. I wouldnāt rely on it, but itās a great āunblockerā
And I see they added a Search/Browse recently, probably to compete with perplexity..
How does that rate as a search engine alternative to google?

I introduced my nephews to a board game called āChinatownā that has almost no rules and is 95% negotiation..
It was like injecting sugar directly into their brains š like the floor of a stock exchange they spent a few hours shouting insane ādealsā to each other

āDie Hardā, āCharlie and the Chocolate Factoryā and āETā were all my national broadcaster could afford to show us every year at Christmas in the 80s.. I get the feeling they just rolled the tapes and went drinking
Voila, Christmas movies š

Can you post about the things TV shows/movies get wrong.? š those are always entertaining
comment in response to
post
It definitely has that unique atmosphere and āfeelā just like the previous games. Iām a little disappointed with the a-life implementation.. and maybe Iām showing my age, but a map with lots of check marks and objectives feels like a chore list š£
Really curious to see how they iterate with patches

That about sums it up perfectly š

Iāll try and read some reputable sources on it..
Anyway thanks for your time, have a good week
comment in response to
post
Fair enough.
Although, is it problematic that the current system requires infinite economic growth in a finite world, as we chase the interest payments?
Or have I been doom scrolling too much? š
comment in response to
post
Are we starting to see some of those spirals forming though.?
Like in the US, and Europe post-covid and with the situation in Ukraine? Borrowing/money-printing seems very excessive lately
Whatās the monthly cost of interest repayment for the US?
Admittedly Iām in IT and this is not my field š
comment in response to
post
Apologies for being vague.. I should have been able to quote a source there.
I think it was relating to fractional reserve banking and the application of interest in that system.
We create the money, but not the money to pay the interest, hence more money printing and more interest etc
Spiral

I see your point š
But if that does come to pass, weāll probably have bigger issues than a crypto bubble bursting..
Weāll find out just how many of the other systems we rely on (that do have intrinsic value) are quantum proof
comment in response to
post
Yeah, the quantum computer thing is a concern alright.
Not meaning to drag this out or be argumentative here, but if all fiat currencies tend towards hyperinflation (I read that somewhere) and there is no alternative, then why would the bubble burst.?
It remains a finite (digital) asset
comment in response to
post
ā¦ are not the worlds first digital asset, thatās not under the control of any one corporation or government, and available to everyone with a mobile phone, as an alternative to hyper-inflating fiat currencies
But the other coins are definitely tulip bulbs

Iād agree that every single crypto coin/token is a gamble and everyone is just waiting to see who races for the exit first (I hold some crypto)
But hasnāt Bitcoin achieved something to take it beyond that? It seems to be every bit as much a global asset as gold at this point
comment in response to
post
I blame being cranked to the nines on video games, YouTube shorts and doom scrolling social media the before and sometimes during my attempts to get to sleep šµ
And also fighting my inner demons etc
comment in response to
post
I grew up with street fighter, and I loved playing AND watching SFV.. but I totally agree with you about the visuals in SF6. No one really stands out or sets themselves apart. And the matches seem to be just combo/tennis
Iāve never played it though so I shouldnāt judge š

What would make it more impressive is that their technology would need to travel through time AND space.
If they are from a million years in the future, they would have to calculate where earth was all that time ago (planets/solar system/galaxy all traveling at high speed)
Cool idea though

Outstanding š

Thanks man, I honestly didnāt think about it until I saw your post š
I remember polling some friends a while ago and 3am insomnia seemed to be on the rise.
Itās obviously the phoneā¦ need put it away when trying to sleep šµ
comment in response to
post
I usually start adjusting at 2 or 3am, staring at my phone and praying for sleep.
If I sleep at all itās usually 10-15 minutes before my alarms goes off šµ

Exciting times š Although I was getting a little nervous watching it execute commands in the terminal..
The constant confirmations are equal parts annoying and re-assuring
