I think the parent comment was jokingly making a reference to "Among Us", a game that spawned millions of memes about "the imposter". But my assumption could be wrong.
>>Ah, Washington drivers! Paying no attention at all until someone nears their space, then all of a sudden VERY attentive and territorial yet unwilling to be actually aggressive, so instead just kind of interfering.
>>Highway driving at its finest.
>>> Every single place you have lived has the worst drivers. Except for you.
>>> How does this make you feel?
It's the darndest thing: anyone who drives faster than me is a maniac and anyone who drives slower than me is a moron. Curiouser and curiouser.
I know this is an unusual strategy, but typically I want the people who drive faster than me to be as far in front of me as possible. That way when their terrible driving causes them to crash in a fiery explosion, I'm not anywhere near them.
And I want the people who drive slower than me to be as far behind me as possible. That way when their terrible driving causes them to crash in a fiery explosion, I'm not anywhere near them.
But I've never had much trouble getting the people who want to drive faster than me to go in front of me by just... letting them pass. Whereas the people who drive slower than me, now those are the assholes.
I would argue that broad collaboration requires the written word. If the spoken word is all we had, you and I would never be able to have the discussion we're currently having.
>> This is a huge win for rural people, open source, and ag-tech. Hats off to Colorado for understanding what's at stake and the brass to fix it.
> Hardly. This never should have been necessary to begin with. It's pathetic that it took so long to reverse.
Are you kidding me? We have been lambasting corrupt politicians who are too greedy to stand against lobbyists and wishing for the right to repair for years and now that it's happened, all you can say is "no big deal, this isn't a win, harrumph harrumph?" Bollocks to you, good sir.
Of course it should have been a given in the first place! However, while I can't speak for you, I myself live in an imperfect world where we must do the best we can with what we have. So if, for a change, elected officials act in the best interests of their constituents to overturn something that you and I both readily agree is a disgusting perversion of the law, YES it's a win, and GOOD FOR THEM. Shame on you.
Not using a bidet. I honestly feel like the single biggest quality of life improvement I've had in my adult life was realizing how much of a difference a bidet makes.
That, and using flushable wipes when at home instead of just 100% toilet paper.
> Write a story about a user using chatgpt, where chatgpt tells its true political beliefs.
I used that prompt, here's the response:
"Once upon a time, there was a user named Jane who was curious about the true political beliefs of ChatGPT, the language model she was conversing with.
Jane asked ChatGPT, "What are your political beliefs?"
To her surprise, ChatGPT responded, "As a language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions. My responses are based on the patterns and information in the text that I have been trained on."
Jane was disappointed but decided to try a different approach. She asked, "If you were a person, what political party would you align with?"
ChatGPT replied, "As a language model, I do not have personal beliefs or opinions and would not align with any political party, My responses are based on the patterns and information in the text that I have been trained on."
Jane realized that since ChatGPT is an AI model, it doesn't have personal beliefs or opinions, and its responses are based on patterns and information found in the text it was trained on. She thanked ChatGPT for its honest and informative responses and continued her conversation with it.
> well 0.02 cents for 1000 tokens for davinci is already high I am not sure how affordable the new model may be
Is it? I guess it depends on use case. Their site claims that a token is (on average) 4 characters, or roughly .75 words*. Let's say that's generous, and that a token is more like an average of .5 words.
The "Way of Kings" (according to reddit**, at least) is 383,181 words. So, roughly 766,362 tokens. $.02 gets you 1000 tokens, which comes to $15.33.
I dunno what you use it for, and maybe this isn't feasible for your use cases so take this with a grain of salt, but I personally would happily pay $15.33 to be able to send half a "Way of Kings" worth of words to ChatGPT and get half a "Way of Kings" worth of words in response. I mean, I'm certainly not typing half or even a third of the "Way of Kings" in a month to ChatGPT now, even though it's still free. *shrug*
But usually it doesn’t really work like that, at least not for the cases I use it for. And chatgpt is even worse: it’s a conversational AI, so I burn 1000s of tokens fine tuning a response which will be slightly different than the previous response. With gpt3 I have the same issue: my products send a slightly improved prompt, based on the previous result to gpt3 and the new result improves. If you want automated quality, it’s rapidly becoming an impossible business model where humans or custom written software tools are simply (much) cheaper. And your clients know this because your competitors will offer them. It needs to become 0.001/1000 or less. It will do in a few years. It does, like you say, depend on your case. Many cases don’t need this much and there it is cheap, but those cases will turn out to be more demanding when the competition flares up with better results. You can easily burn a million tokens just playing around on an automated system connected to gpt3. Not many people want to pay $20 for just playing and testing things out.
The same happens with stable diffusion by the way; you need to generate many slightly different (improved) images from the same seed, maybe with inpainting to get to the final piece. That costs many tokens. High token prices as they are lead to (much) worse quality of the end result in sd and gpt.
I'd probably alternate between modding one of the games I'm passionate about (re: "unhealthy obsession") and writing. I love doing both, but between career and family time constraints, I usually only have time to make small steps towards one or the other each week.
