… But maybe you are cheating on Lemmy with that old bitch

Not using or not dropping?

True, the fediverse is poor. But Reddit is the bottom of the barrel in its current state.

Best to waste time watching paint dry to be honest

I think they realize it but know these mods are addicted to the fake power so they won’t go anywhere no matter what

By the time that negative effect kicks in, the execs already cashed in their bonuses and are on their way out of the sinking ship

Stop using Reddit, problem solved

I don’t know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.

As far as I have read, that’s it, which is not profitable. They have been coasting on Venture Capital only so far.

No wonder he is starting to get along so well with Trump

Lol oh the irony

Yes, my bad, apologies

I thought you were the person I replied to originally

I just want to be able to preview docs from my proton drive on my android app

I’m ok editing in browser only but I have my recipes there and can’t preview them from my phone so I’m forced to keep them in Google drive instead

We hate Elon, Tesla is Ok

Well I wouldn’t really trust kia, who released these gaping vulnerabilities and benefit the most from pretending ain’t no big thing, with these statements

Agreed. But I am getting more and more concerned we won’t always be able to keep or buy an old car and avoid these pitfalls

I’m likely 3 to 6 years away from having to buy a new/used car and I don’t think il be able to (or actually want) a 20 year old car

They just want him to get a new one… Why repair a $20 battery on a perfectly functioning device when you can force him to get a new $100,000 exoskeleton?

This is just more capitalist ghouls doing the only thing they know

Right to repair NOW!

Medical devices should be either supported for life (with money on escrow to support it) or provided with all schematics, manuals and spare parts

Now my most important tools are search engines and autocomplete: I can work faster with less knowledge of the syntax and my value is the higher level thought about what we need to do. If my company ever allows AI, I fully expect it to be as important a tool as a search engine.

And this is when the cost calculation comes into play. Using a search engine is basically free, using OpenAI for development is tied up with licenses and new hardware.

So the question will be, are you going to improve efficiency to the point where the cost of the license and new hardware is worth the additional efficiency?

Right, it’s only stolen when regular people use copyright material without permission

But when OpenAI downloads a car, it’s all cool baby

It’s expensive enough my employer (of more than 2000) decided to only trial it with a small subset of seniors. It’s not just the license, it comes tied up with new hardware

So far nobody likes it. Most people use it to summarize meetings and we just got a memo saying we need to review the summaries because it keeps missing important data

Having said all that, when I mentioned the cost, I was referring to the cost of training the models. And without a proper business plan to monetize it, it’s is still unclear how this version of AI could be actually sold for profit.

Remember that cost, is not just a number. It’s the number in relationships with the benefit it provides.

For OpenAI, it has yet to produce profit that is not just venture capital and for us as user (us, I cannot speak for everyone) it has not saved us a dime after getting expensive hardware and licenses

Oh and for the final point. True, openAI may not have been the one to say no programmers in five years although, replacing people has always been their angle. But by now we have seen OpenAI play so fast and loose with all their claims and benchmarks, we cannot believe a word they say (which you seem to do and keep on posting here).

A tool is a tool.

That is a miopic view. Sure a tool is a tool, if I take a gun and use it to save someone from getting mugged = good if I use it to mug someone = bad

But regardless of the circumstance of use, we can all agree that a gun’s only utility is to destroy a living organism.

You know, I know, everyone here knows, AI will only be used to generate as much profit as possible in the shortest amount of time, regardless of the harm it causes. And right now, the big promise of AI is that it will replace costly human employees, that’s it, that’s all.

Fortunately, it is really bad and unlikely to achieve this goal
