Wikipedia Misinformation. I like how Jon Stewart put it

“Oh, my God, there’s been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happened? I don’t know, maybe a steam shovel mated with a cocoa bean? Or it’s the f**ing chocolate factory!”

A company making a decision to allow use of chinese models is a company also choosing to send tons of various credentials to chinese model companies. These will just get scooped up, OpenAI and Anthropic can probably hack into anything at this point if they wanted to.

I wouldn't trust any numbers that came out of USAID. Mr Beast drilled hundreds of wells, built hundreds of houses for mere few million in Africa. If USAID really did sent 130 Billion in the last 20 years then there literally would be unlimited houses and unlimited wells already completed. Yet to my knowledge only a few solar wells, no houses have been built by USAID.

I noticed this too, but decided to keep my mini because I downgraded my max plan (I was defaulted to this as a customer since they started) to a bitrate I still won't reach, and by doing so am saving $480 per year.

I like the property tax thing for Single Family Homes. I think it should be different for commercial property.

Other than that, my personal number one issue is: Socialism. It should be illegal to try to make America socialist.

Hopefully a bug. I don't work for OpenAI but I looked through all the configuration options I could see and I couldn't find anything like that. But I find it ridiculous that you can choose your default icon but not default to ChatGPT for the basic prompt.

It will get as far as aiming the advanced nukes but suddenly the DNS will randomly be updated by an agent still using sonnet by accident and the whole thing will come down and humans will survive.

I've been doing computer stuff all my life. I am learning the construction trades now. LLMs help you learn the rules for doing weird and specific stuff in the trades. One of my favorite LLM prompts is for plumbing tasks. For example: I have 1" pex b and I need to convert to a typical 1/4" RO connection line, what fittings on supplyhouse.com should I buy? So much easier than standing in Home Depot in the plumbing aisle for 25 minutes staring at the wall of fittings.

I think in the software trade you will definitely use your brain less. But in other trades, it removes the time sucks and gets you back to work.

@dang "He's a rich white asshole taking credit for other peoples' hard work." this is racism.

And google was rendering the founding fathers to be black. By the way Google has recently been determined to be the MOST neutral LLM. I guess they learned their lesson after Black George Wash.

Wait, do people now have X Derangement Syndrome. Like they can't even think or see the letter X?

So Crime++, Prostitution++, Police--, Drugs++, Unlimited Immigration++, you get my point? I don't think "objectivity" is politically left.
