This isn’t an actual step forward, just a ploy to keep religion going for as long as possible.

It’s obviously all a lie, they just keep softening their policies to stay relevant in modern times. Imagine if they stuck to their old believes from a few hundred years ago or actually followed the bible, they’d become irrelevant in just one generation.

So instead they adapt to keep their power.

Of course you have to hold yourself back, but where I live there’s plenty of really nice stretches of road where you can overtake. But with my car while I’m accelerating some guy in an Audi or a BMW already decides to overtake from the back… overtaking with a better car feels much less stressful and safer.

Nope, manual, I’m in Europe. But 75 PS Diesel with 6 gears. Redlining doesn’t help much when it comes to accelerating.

Only up to a certain point. My Kia Rio has a 0-60 of like 16 seconds… overtaking even on a clear road sucks.

The car is perfect otherwise, but I’d definitely want much better acceleration in the future.

I mean that’s what you get for writing the date wrong :)

Well, digital trading card games do exist of course, but often you can’t even trade cards. And much less sell them for real money. With an NFT in theory you could do what you want with the card, like give it to your buddy for 10 bucks and you don’t even have to use the game client for it.

The problem here is that the card itself is in the game code, so you can freely move ownership, but the game could just remove the card and make your NFT worthless.

NFTs are a joke, so it’s totally fine for a topic like this.

Like what is there to discuss? The entire concept is stupid. With NFTs the object isn’t even on the blockchain, the image isn’t there. It’s pretty much just some random information that says image x belongs to you (but you have to store image x somewhere else and can lose it).

When it comes to owning art either physical media or the rights to the image already do a much better job.

The only area where NFTs sound useful (but they aren’t) is things like trading card games. Where you can have a card in a game and you own it, but because it’s an NFT you could sell the card to another player outside the game. But the whole concept again breaks down, the game can simply block the card from being played later on or remove the card and you’re left with nothing (besides “proof” that you own the NFT for a card that existed in the past). It adds nothing of value that a normal entry in a database couldn’t provide.

One thing I’m still positive on: Crypto currency was a great idea, at least until Bitcoin was sabotaged with the 1 MB block size and transacting with it died along the way.

That would still give it too much credit in that case. It’s purely an input output system. You put text in (the prompt), you get text out (the result). If there is no input from you, there is no output. It doesn’t have any intrinsic functionality that runs on its own.

Maybe a bit too much for an ELI5.

Yes, but I was talking about the salary part, which is separate from the costs you mentioned.

It’s 19 million just for people.

Is it just me or is $19 million per year for 50 full-time employees insane?

Even for US salary standards.

GPT can probably give a better answer to any advanced math or science query than the majority of humans

Only if that answer is already out there and in the model. So pretty much a Google search away.

GPT isn’t coming up with new math or science facts (at least not real ones).

It literally is a word predictor, an insanely complex one, it’s the best way to describe it. If you start with layers, parameters and so on most people lose interest. But there’s some really good explanations around.

Generic AI (real AI) has internal logic, can learn and improve itself and can do self motivated actions. Chat GPT can tell you exactly how to create an account and order something from Amazon, but despite being able to put that text out it will never be able to actually follow them itself.

If all you need is a cheap laptop, there’s thousands of deals on refurbished or used ones. You don’t need this year’s model to browse the web and send email.

Throw Ubuntu or something on it and you can go even cheaper hardware wise.

If it’s an existing language then it’s not secure.

If you make up your own language you’ll waste a thousand hours and someone might use the notes you used to learn it.

Just use damn encryption, it’s easy and fast. Also has additional benefits. If someone wants to force you to give them/translate your notes you can’t do much (they’ll know when your translation is inconsistent).

With encryption you can hide a volume inside another one. If you enter the weaker password you can put decoy files there, with just your run of the mill notes. While behind a stronger password you hide your actual diary.

That’s stupid, any cypher you can keep in your head is easily cracked.

If you want privacy, look towards encryption. Get a cheap laptop without internet access, install whatever Linux distribution, then keep everything encrypted.

So all you need to keep in your head is your master password.

Most bot generated content is from things like ChatGPT, so are you going to be mad at people in San Francisco now?

I’d say the majority of humans know what 2 + 2 is. Chat GPT doesn’t. As it found the answer in some texts it will tell you 4, but all it takes is you telling it that’s wrong and suddenly it’s 5. So even for the most simple math problem it’s extremely easy to throw the whole thing off. Which also means for any prompt you put in it can go in wildly wrong directions at times.

And this is all with good input data, there’s plenty of trolls online and the data will only get worse (it already did, the original data up to 2021 was okayish, in the last year tons of crap was put out on top, some of it by Chat GPT itself. So the new model might input the crap it produced before, getting worse over time). The problem on top of that is that you don’t know the sources it used. If you ask about a recent event you might receive an insane answer it picked up from a right wing conspiracy site, you simply don’t know. There is no fact checking in place.

It’s a stunningly good text generator, but that’s all it is and it ever will be, at least until they do much more than just add more compute power to it.

It will obviously get even better, but you’ll never be able to rely on it. Sure, 99.9% of that generated legal document will look perfect, till you overlook one sentence where the AI hallucinated. There is no fact checking in there, that’s the issue.
