I don't know I assume it would tell you put some cortisone cream on it or to seek a dermatologist. 99% of internet advice boils down to that I don't think chatgpt/gpt 4 would be much different in that regard. It definitely ca

Wouldn't you just use go/python/node for a simple crud API? fastapi for python is pretty performative if you use gunicorn as your runtime and time to iterate is must faster than it is in rust.

It is, it's libgen + commoncrawl + wikidump + a bunch of other datasets. OpenAI claim that commoncrawl is roughly 60% of its total training corpus and they also claim they use the other datasets listed. They probably also have some sor

Yeah, like if you removed chatgpt from the equation what would change? A couple hundred-thousand moderators would not have an above-average hourly wage and would instead need to find another international company or a domestic company to hi

That's fair, but I have a half a dozen servers sitting in a colo with networking/energy/cooling included in the lease agreement so energy is not a concern. I usually just run game servers with the extra RAM/cpu threads f

I also read that iPhones are quickly growing in market share in China as Chinese people see them as more luxurious than their domestic brands. Which raises the question, how does iMessage, the App Store, data collection and western app poli

I don't. If it's virtually impossible to distinguish a Russian troll farm page from a traditional conservative/radical leftist from a home grown, private individual, then there is no problem. The impact Russian troll farms ha

How do you get him supporting legislating to outlaw hate speech from him saying he wants to promote tolerance? Tolerance is something every human possesses and should exercise, it's not something that can be legislated. An intolerant p
