lets bankrupt them next. they obviously have too much power and dont know how to be responsible with it.

POV you are a couch

its become more of a confidence man than anything.

ive been testing various models for about 4 years now. conclusions are always the same. even when referencing online material the accuracy is sub par compared to simply looking it up yourself.

its good for certain tasks, but as far as verifying information you are better off using ai to find sources, and then reading those sources yourself as opposed to the write ups it offers.

an example. last night i came across a character in the game “kingdom come: deliverence 2” named the “odd trader” after saving him from bandits he offers to sell you various oddities, one of which being a “broken roman spear” that may or may not be the spear of destiny that pierced jesus christ.

GPT said that you could reforge the spear and that it was VERY powerful, when i asked it specifically how to do that, it said “oh sorry! turns out you cant do that, its just an easter egg!”

this happens constantly. but many people who use it dont verify the output, and take it at face value. especially adamant defenders of AI and especially chatgpt.

i know some fan boys will get pissy hearing this, and thats okay. in order for a technology to improve you have to acknowledge its flaws. thats a part of innovation.

also, i do believe AI will cause far more harm than good in the coming years if it is capable of advancing the way people suggest it might. and this particular flaw is a part of that harm. we cant speed run AI without severe risks.

only if its profitable

sir, this is a comment section.

buy clothes second hand, or make your own. never buy a brand new vehicle if you absolutely need one. learn how to DIY repair as much of your tech, laptops, computers, cellphones as possible. can or freeze your left overs. grow your own food and herbs if you can. recycle whatever you can at home for purposes you may need them for. BUILD YOUR HOME OUT OF RECYCLED AND AVAILABLE MATERIAL IF POSSIBLE WHERE YOU LIVE.

BUY AN OLD BIKE, AND RIDE IT WHEREVER YOU CAN REASONABLY. upgrade it to a DIY ebike using systems like bafang if you need to go further or or faster. buy second hand if possible.

cook all your meals at home, dont eat out, the food quality dependant on sources of ingredients will likely be higher if you put time and effort into learning a core skill like cooking.

learn how to do calisthetics and jog, ditch your gym membership, or build a home gym from second hand equipment. some can even be sourced for free.

make home made gifts, home made cards, learn how to knit, people go ape shit for scarves and sweaters made by hand. maybe learn how to make jewellery, you do not have to use precious metals and stones to make jewellery.

buy tools second hand, borrow them from friends and family if needed

it requires a little extra work to be more independant and consume less, but it is by far more rewarding mentally, and physically to do so. and for some, even spiritually.

buy second hand computers, and computer parts, build a “homelab” for self hosting your own streaming and entertainment services, email, gaming servers, etc.

get rid of all of your subscriptions where possible, and learn how to offer that service yourself where you can.

ive personally done all of this, it can be difficult, but your wallet will thank you in the long run if you can adapt to your new economic environment. and i vuarantee you, your life will be much more fulfilling.

theres no world where trump and/or putin is in power where there is peace for a sovereign ukraine.

they have to go.

wonder if rapey mc rapist and techno nazi along with their gaggle of dip shit losers invested in poultry and eggs before this.

i mean its not uncommon for rich assholes and their corporate entities to heavily invest in things they know are about skyrocket in price or short smaller out circle businesses they know wont make it if the market craches, especially if they get to control the “soft landing”

even during a recession its possible to make a pyramid sized pile of cash if you bet on the right failure, even more so if you can fix the bet in the first place by forcing its price down.

they literally made a whole movie about this about the 2008 financial crisis.

you may not see it on paper right now, but that doesnt mean corpos arent sifting cash into secret accounts, either directly or on their behalf.

theres a channel 5 segment on it, the dude decided to cross from mexico with “coyotes” back into the US, as an american, and they got caught. spent several days in shite conditions, and talks about whole process. its pretty interesting.
