I mean we do live in the Holocene interglacial and the interglacial won't last forever. Obviously we have warmed the planet a great deal but I don't think that is going to stop the next ice age.

People at 75 fall off a cliff physically. Life expectancy is rising but that includes spending years in long term care. 70% of people over 65 right now will need long term care. We like these type of stories because it reinforces all our de

A better example is the portrait painter trembling at seeing the first example of photography. You can pretty much see at any gallery when the camera changes art. To me these arguments are by kids and art simpletons. Art is always changing.

I never went to that bowling ball place but that sounds like 90s Pittsburgh to me. It was a very odd place. I think because rent for apartments and business was so incredibly cheap after the 80s that it attracted quite a cast of characters

Exactly! I had it make up functionality of a python library and then make calls to functions that don't exist. I imagine the further you move away from popularity, the more of a bullshitter chatGPT becomes.

I suspect this is what is at play. It is really impressive as long as you don't know enough to nit pick the output. Trying to use it for things I know quite well has been terrible. I know nothing in this context so it impressed me.

This is basically the social media addiction bargaining version of "I can't quit drinking, I will lose contact with all my friends at the bar!. Just have to accept that alcohol is part of society and social interaction."

I just doubt this is true. I like to say and think I have no social media yet here I am. I also spend quite a bit of time watching youtube videos and looking at youtube comments.

I will check out Missing Cryptoqueen right now. I can't remember if it came out this year or last year but the Exit Scam series about Gerald Cotten, the bitcoin guy that everyone thought faked his death in India, is my all time fav.

chatGPT is even worse. The less popular a python package is, the more bullshit is in the chatGPT answer. I don't know how many times now it has literally made up functionality that isn't there in a library. At least that obviously

I can picture a type of adversarial situation with a generator intentionally trying write bugs to fool a discriminator. We can't forget that what we have now basically is the MVP of code generation. We are at the deep dream stage in A

I agree with Linux Mint but you can just download and boot off a thumb drive to try it out yourself without actually installing anything. I would try Mint with KDE but also try a few other desktops. Maybe you will like them more.

Photoshop is a better example. Photoshop is better than any AI software for this.

Not to mention Photoshop. The problem is I honestly think if Photoshop came out for the first time in 2022 that it absolutely would get banned and be considered far too dangerous.

The amount of bogus content of how to use chatGPT to make money is going to be ridiculous. I think that is off to the raises as we speak.

We have so much muddled thought in our language. Even adding "true" is not ideal as that implies there is "true understanding" and just plain old understanding that is a lesser form of true understanding. Now we have gon

What is so interesting to me is how much bias we have that my "understanding" of what you wrote is something additional to a Chinese room. IMO it is because no matter what people say outwardly, most people will not give up their &
