It's nearly useless for me. GPT-4 used to be so good, 3.5 even, but I believe they have nerfed processing power per request, and the OpenAI stack is virtually useless to me, I tend to rely on Claude.

No it's a digital neural network expressing it's inputs and outputs in language.

Um yes I do? Lol why do you just assume this?

I don't know, it's more then this. I ask ChatGPT to teach me all about Hinduism, the siva purana, ancient indian customs, etc., and it is an incredible tutor. I can ask it to analyze things from a Jungian perspective. I can ask it to consider ideas from a non-typical perspective, etc. It is pretty incredible, it is more then a word gargler.

Sam tells Congress that AI is so dangerous it will extinct humanity. Why? So Congress can license him and only his buddies. Then get goes to euro and speaks with world leaders to remove consumer protection. Why? So he can mine data without any consequences. He is a narcissistic CEO who lies to win. If you are tired of the past decade of electronic corporate tyranny, abuse, manipulation and lies, then boycott OpenAi (should be named ClosedAi) and support open source, or ethical companies (if there are any).

I hate these articles. "Take a deep breath and refocus". "Find a way of working that works for you." "Stick with that you know." "Understand risks." It's so meta it's useless.

Great point -- I was thinking of renewing my $20/subscription but I will keep it cancelled. We must not fund AI propaganda machines.

Fascinating, thanks!

They may have absorbed tech, offering a counter service, or prefer customers to be invested in one service form over another service form. Or C-levels or replaced. Or or.... (tons of reasons)

Their service also got destroyed by SEO. Google has been at war with the public for decades. They simply lost. The public literally destroyed their product. Then they needed to increase ads. They are on a runaway train to zero.

Good summary. Clear, concise, real. I wish we had advocacy groups sitting on corners with signs saying this. Seriously. People need to wake up, and they need a concise understanding to latch onto. I say it like this, "Perhaps social media where you upvote, downvote and like is just a shitty idea, for businesses and people. I think people WILL realize this, and I am hoping it will not crash software engineering, but I think it will, but most people building shitty software will leave the industry, while the useful software will continue. So it's important to be with an employer in an industry that is legitimate.

It seems the majority of Twitter articles are about the poor quality of engineering solutions or Elon's inability to "pay his Google bill". It strikes me as propaganda when what we are truly witnessing is the rush to wall-garden the internet as AI LLM takes over.

People are awake all hours of the day.

Yup! And as somebody living in the United States, it is not so obvious how I would learn about Russian holidays, etc.

I would not be surprised if Twitter is substantially Indian or spread across the world.
