It's ok to blame the Universities for preparing to self lobotomize, but students are also to blame. You have personal accountability, and if you decide to turn off your brain and live on autopilot, you won't succeed in the real world regardless of AI. I would argue social media and smartphones ruined a generation of kids, and AI will just add to this problem. It's hard for young people not to give into these tempting shortcuts, but unfortunately legal guardians will need to do a better job protecting their kids and young people will need to step up as well.

If you're using the free version, it's only natural that openAI will eventually want to monetize the freeloaders if their training data doesn't cover operational costs. I've been paying for ChatGPT for over a year and would expect the paid accounts to remain ad free. If the paid accounts also start to receive adds, I'll migrate to another paid LLM service that's ad free.

Sounds like the CCP got their hand caught in the proverbial (fortune) cookie jar.... If this was in Chinatown, they would have completely taken over the company, ceased bank accounts and other assets and either expelled or arrested foreign leadership.

Canadians and the government got addicted to money laundering and high immigration to boost the economy. In typical Canadian fashion the government was too stupid to invest in education, the medical system, and infrastructure and housing. Because of this oversight, the cost of living went through the roof. Housing is unaffordable, and the education system is now a joke... If you need the medical system, good luck... Unfortunately Canada can't stop extracting natural resources since collectively as a society we're too unproductive in other fields to shift to higher value added services in other sectors... Our federal government is also too afraid to tear down regulatory and barriers from entrenched monopolies to allow small businesses to complete....The only other alternative to the Liberal party are the CONservative party who's leader is a career politician who never had a real job in his life and panders to 5 Maple MAGA base screw balls... Ohhh Canada....

AI has some uses, but I feel it's still at the retarded child phase. Like any child, I would trust it to function on its own without supervision. Since it's also retarded, it actually requires extra supervision, since when AI freaks out it will really shit the bed and create a horrible mess that humans will need to spend triple the time (or more) to cleanup....

I still run it without issues... I paid for a lifetime plexpass more than 6yrs ago as well. It's easy for non technical people to use, and the client app is available on all major devices. If you're so cheap that you don't want to pay for remote streaming, then just install a tailscale VPN as a workaround.... I also run jellyfin, but find it's still not as user-friendly as plex

You'll own nothing and get paid in tokens.

Probably because there are other implications such as ground water contamination in the event of a serious meltdown?

We have a legacy deployment and it's our last windows server VM. SolarWinds called me for an account review and this is a good reminder why they're still open to another big incident like 2020...

Ahh, you caught that as well! My hunch is that they laid off people who aren't Engineers, but had that in their job title.(And probably a disproportionately high pay because of that)

My hunch is that they're laying of people who aren't Engineers, but have the word "Engineer" in the job title. I always thought the title Engineer was protected, but discovered that's not always the case.

How about a Costco hotdog?

We need an AI for the medical system and call it "The Allocator". In this utopian system, "The Allocator" would decide who gets treatment, who receives medications, how much resource priority each patient deserves and which hospitals get supplies....

Why would you short? They're literally selling a 50c item for $150 - $230. There's literally no downside to them doing this....
