This will supplement two of ChatGPT's larger deficiences: math and the veracity of its output. It'll be interesting to see how they price this integration, and how long OpenAI will maintain the $20 pricing for ChatGPT+.

Yeah. I really underestimated OpenAI's ability to productize ChatGPT.

Larger improvement than I expected.

> a bit of javascript when it's needed for a form.

Until you get told to implement more reactive features, then it's over. Using Pure JS/JQuery for reactiveness is outright horrible.

Exactly. It will be interesting to see who and what gets shutdown in the next 30 days if the issue isn't rectified.

Wow, absolutely fascinating. AI will continue to revolutionize our current approaches.

Facebook API is today very granular and a lot stricter, in fact their system is borderline onerous for developers. They've obviously learned from the Cambridge Analytica situation, and I understand the need for the requirements, but unfortunately it also stops all smaller projects.

The discourse regarding this incident is deranged. Despite all the resources put into teaching intellectuals and academians to exercise critical thinking, they still believe the most absurd claims without any evidence.

The claims I've seen circulating are all insane, such as that Russia did it to avoid being found guilty of contract violations or that they did it to attack the Norway-Baltic pipeline. Note that the Nord Stream pipelines' total capacity is 150+ BCM, whereas the Norway-Baltic pipeline is only 10BCM NG - less than 1/10th.

Russia has gained zero, whereas EU countries have removed an internal pressure point, and the USA has gained a larger energy share. I don't know who sabotaged the pipelines, but the superficial blaming of Russia without any evidence should be criticized.

Lastly, I detest all attacks and invasions of sovereign entities.

> it went all in on China's debt trap diplomacy

No. Debt owed to China is less than 10% of Sri Lanka's total debt. And it owes a lot more to western nations/institutes.

I'm still shocked how this clearly unsubstantiated claim continues to circulate. The so called "China debt trap diplomacy" is a phenomenon mostly fabricated/promoted by columnists with a clear agenda.

I wasn't even considering the people who threatened to leave in response to Elon's takeover - the true number would be inconsequential.

> Notable people were using Twitter long before blue checks were a thing

True. Now that I think about it, I most definitely oversold it. Blue-check is a nice to have benefit but notable accounts are still today religiously using Twitter despite not being verified. I think I was focusing too much on the journalist clique on Twitter and their excessive desire for a blue-check.

He, undoubtedly, overpaid for Twitter. Also, the blue-check allows key users to distinguish themselves and is one major reason that "notable" people are using Twitter for essentially all their communications. Elon's plan to diminish the blue-check by giving it to anyone who has verified themselves by buying Twitter Blue would be very destructive and hurt Twitter's moat.

-- Edit --

Actually, disregard the blue-check comment. I oversold it. A blue-check is actually not that important.

> Personally I'd prefer true pay-as-you-go without hard limits, even if it's a bit more expensive. To me the point is to sign-up-and-forget-it without having to worry if I'm within those limitations.

Sure, if you can set a max budget. Otherwise, you'd constantly have to worry about the unbounded cost.

Interesting. Presumably, LAPSUS had access to Windows source code but still decided to go after comparatively low-fruit like Bing and Cortana instead of the digital gold that is Windows.

At least, more people will now be exposed to our utter hypocrisy. I used to be a staunch supporter of a free unrestricted internet but the disproportionate power US has is unsustainable - and frankly a threat to sovereign nations. China's firewall seems to have been the right path after all.

It is ignorant to reduce US policies into an ally or not dichotomy. An entity being allied with the US does not mean that it will always work in the interest of the US, e.g., Germany's NS2 project. And US-Ethiopian relations have deteriorated significantly in the past two years. Partly due to Trump siding entirely with Egypt in the Nile/GERD contention, going so far as to state Egypt should bomb the dam. And more recently, due to US engagement in the horrific Northern Ethiopian war, where human rights violations have been committed by all sides. However, the US has only enacted sanctions against the Ethiopian government and its allies. And some Ethiopian officials have accused the US of abetting the rebels.
