Rag feels to me like the other new llm tricks (like voice commands), the base model cant be improved much so they tack on modules which make it look like the base tech is still improving. While in reality it is just the tacking on of older tech.

When I was young I knew people who installed those 'get money for moving your mouse' things (this was a thing around 2000, prob combined with a 'get paid to use your computer' scam. I'm not sure if anybody even remembers this), and they never got a dime. So I always mentally ignore these things as scams. 'it is just free money' is quite the red flag.

Minor gripe with the video 'if they product is free you are likely the product' isn't true imho. You are always also the product, unless they explicitly go out of their way to make it clear you are not the product (and even then you cannot be totally sure). You can't pay your way out of the rot economy. In fact, as you are now a person who spends money, I'd think the value of your data actually goes up. A database filled with data of users who never spend a dime online seems like it would be almost useless to me.

If you start to count at 0 it is also correct. Thanks Dijkstra. The paper that cased uncountable damages and wasted hours.

Lol lmao (For the people not into Dutch, our main alt-right politician lost a lot of money investing in the luna cryptocurrency (of course he is into crypto, and of course this site (which is a pro crypto site, so they pivot to his bitcoin holdings (which is no shock we know cryptofash people pay the fash in crypto)) is using the 'register now and get the first 10 bucks free!' trick casinos also pull).

Im assume a few of these good practices have been discovered after a certain price in blood was paid.

Yes, grouping people into categories based on some intelligence stat is frowned upon here in awful.systems the place which doesnt like race realists (or your regional equivalent).

My first reaction was to think about how humanities main 3 qualities are intelligence, social groups, maths [on phone, imagine i linked to Dijkstras article on counting here], and the ability to chuck spears very well. But meh effort.

We should be very worried if the finances are so bad they are now going after the 17% (the numbers are prob a bit more skewed as I assume a higher % of that 17 is a high volume user)

No problem, set your useragent to openai, boom no more advertisements. Every other video is some weird video about how great google is however. Strange that. (Note: this is a joke, not something that I tested and actually works).

 

The interview itself

Got the interview via Dr. Émile P. Torres on twitter

Somebody else sneered: 'Makings of some fantastic sitcom skits here.

"No, I can't wash the skidmarks out of my knickers, love. I'm too busy getting some incredibly high EV worrying done about the Basilisk. Can't you wash them?"
