i think it unlikely that we're going to have quite the level of disruption from this technology that people seem to be expecting. navigating real-world environments to perform tasks that need a human-shaped body is so far from solved i don't think we're likely to see it in our lifetimes. best i can see this doing is providing something like mobile kiosks, and perhaps remote controlled human-shaped robodrones for a few niche types of work

it was never trained to do insider trading, or any kind of trading. it was trained to predict the most likely next word given a bunch of previous words as input, then trained to not do that when the next word would be racist/destructive/etc. it turns out that's super versatile, and can be used to approximate a lot of other functions, like trading on the stock market.

as for sources of information, kinda the big problem with it is how unselective openai were when picking training data. they just loaded all of reddit and wikipedia into it, then dumped a ton of other random shit in there as well.

what i'm getting at is chatgpt is really powerful (duh) but it wasn't created with nearly the intentionality most people think it was, and it doesn't have a lot of the power that people think it does.

oh, no, it's far worse than that. the last 90% is enough time to make what you thought was the first 90% become 10%.

so 0.9*expected time = 0.1* actual time

which, if you can do some very basic algebra, results in 900%. this implies that every project will seem "almost done" for about 9x the length of time you thought the project would take. in my experience, this is roughly correct

god that'll make it impossible to do a bunch of frontend work for anything but their browser. which is another reason they want to do it, i'm sure

it has been a difficult 3 years

good idea sunak have you considered taking a shit in a child's ice cream to build an image? it's a much more striking one, i think, and less destructive

wellbutrin worked for me except for the part where it gave me hives

thats some kenm shit

i think it's more to do with high school being an artificially competitive environment where none of the people have much control over what happens to them. if it weren't so authoritarian i doubt many kids would be doing "typical high school stuff"

this is the intended subtext of the matrix actually. it's a trans allegory
