ChatGPT is using straight up fraud to sell subscriptions:

โ€œIn the first week, Mr. Brooks hit the limits of the free version of ChatGPT, so he upgraded to a $20-a-month subscription. It was a small investment when the chatbot was telling him his ideas might be worth millions.โ€

You canโ€™t tell how many ๅคงs there are in ๅคง้นฟๅคง้นฟๅคง้นฟ?

Incredible often turns out to be not credible. AI currently exists in a very permissive regulatory, environmental, and financial context. Itโ€™s far from given that it can exist in any other context.

Are you actually examining the training data to verify those claims?

But do you then check the initial data set for any element that resembles the novel data or the resulting output?

Then it seems to me that thereโ€™s no real way to tell the difference from the userโ€™s end between an AI that replaces human intelligence and one that simply obfuscates it.

Are there any AIs that arenโ€™t dependent on massive amounts of human generated training data?

Did you examine the training data to confirm that it hadnโ€™t seen anything like your story before?

It has a spherical pressure vessel, so itโ€™s still a better design than Oceangateโ€™s.

I figured it out in 2002 from involuntarily watching Fox News during my shifts at RadioShack.

Aside from the fact that we would need a Senate supermajority to do that.

Youโ€™re comparing Abilene to all of Texas.

The first ballot. The trajectory. You seem fixated on the process, but your argument kind of trails off prior to any actual conclusion.

You donโ€™t seem to be contesting the outcome anymore, is that a fair assessment of where you are with your current thinking?

I mean, itโ€™s not the most insane idea ever that the historical Jesus was teaching the ideas of a preexisting school of thought.

They were all good ideas, and worked more or less within the problems they were expected to solve.

You can make jokes about politics.

You canโ€™t treat politics like a fucking joke.

Diamond Joe only worked when Biden was a trivial figure. If you think they could keep doing that bit about an actual president, then I donโ€™t think you really understand the importance of politics.

If Kerry gave half a fuck about what the left wanted, he wouldnโ€™t have voted for the war in the first place.

My arguments at the time were quite good. I managed to convince everyone at my RadioShack that there were no WMDs and that the war was a bad idea.

We made Assad destroy his chemical weapons stockpile, but the fact that we accomplished that without resorting to an actual invasion renders the victory invisible in your eyes.

The Iraq war was a stupid thing and was properly identified as such ahead of time.

Donโ€™t declare war on an emotion? Donโ€™t invade a random country that isnโ€™t allied with your actual enemy? Donโ€™t invent an ad hoc legal system when your preexisting one works perfectly well?

If it turns out that people are cool with it, would you be willing to admit that youโ€™re wrong?

The left opposed the Iraq war. Donโ€™t do stupid things might not seem like that sophisticated of a policy, but itโ€™s head and shoulders above the center and the right.

That sounds like the losing side accepting defeat.
