Bro, each chat GPT prompt takes 0.0029 kwh. You need to ask it a hundred questions before it equals a single slice of bread in the toaster. I can run a local LLM on my laptop, and no while not as powerful, my laptop does not use more power than my house in a day.
1. He's already invented one life-saving medicine, why would you assume he's not capable of inventing more?2. You would discourage other people similar in talent as he from beginning the pursuit to invent life-saving medicine out of fear of death.Now excuse me while I take a shower. I sound like a Republican...
Agreed. Teslas aren't miracle cars, but they are good. I have to assume most of the down voters don't own Tesla's themselves and/or haters conflate Tesla the car with Elon Musk the asshole.
Exactly. Maybe it's a hyperbolic comparison, but like fission, it can be used for good or bad.
I wrote this already in response to another comment, but consider the effect the printing press had on religion. It used to be that sermons were only ever conducted in Latin. The feeling was that the masses were incapable of truly understanding God, and thus needed their experts, the priests, to tell them what was what. Give the tool to the people, and the people will rise to the capabilities of the tool. I disagree that we're simply "along for the ride."
Gen Z understands. The latest trend, as I understand it, is to cover one's nose when a photo is taken. This is a fad, sure, but hints at something much more sinister; fear of your photo being abused online.
Thank you!
Oh, and upscaling, of course. Taking old photos and cleaning them up.
Absolutely fair. But I would say that, as an artist, there are plenty of "good" applications in art as well. At the very basic level, time saving tasks that require little to no creative input is a good example. Such as rotoscoping or background removal.
I mean, I know everyone here seems to hate Teslas so I assume they're having bad experiences, but I know personally four people who own Teslas, including myself (I have the cheapest Model 3). And all four have had zero issues. The one time I did have a problem (the charging port got jammed shut), I reported it via the app and a Tesla tech showed up in my driveway within 24 hours, no charge.
Absolutely fair. You are correct that AI will absolutely devalue certain things... but that's exactly what happened with the printing press. "Scribe" used to be a valued artisan... when they weren't getting sidetracked with their obsession with snails. New tech made them obsolete. That's just the way tech works. I like to think of AI not as my replacement, but as a new tool in my kit to make cool shit. A copilot, not a competitor.
I didn't ask for it, actually. Generally speaking, AI will always try and extrapolate what it thinks is the correct extension for an image based on context. For some reason, it saw the lighting and fabric background and assumed it was in a medical context. Maybe it thought hospital curtains? The parameter that governs this kind of thing is CFG, context free guidance. And generally I like to keep it very low to help make the images feel right.
Fair, and we will only know in time, but look at what the printing press did to the church. Suddenly, sermons started being held in English because people could own and read their own bible. Maybe I'm giving AI too much weight and it's really an order of magnitude difference, but I personally see a lot of similarities.
Nothing's failed in two years. And everyone I've personally met who has one has had a similar experience. Musk sucks, sure, but the cars...
It's hate to be downvoted... but could this be an anomaly? We saved up and got a model 3 and couldn't be happier with it.
As a Tesla driver (not Elon fanboy), this is accurate. If it can't find a safe solution, alarms sound and it hands control back to me.
The problem is ocean access. That motivates much of their expansion and history of conflict.
Thanks everyone for setting me straight and providing sources! I was getting Dubai and KSA mixed up.
Not to be that guy, but if I recall correctly they actually pay very well to blue collar workers. Better than American minimum wage for sure
By that logic people are "offended" by cat posts. And meme dumps. One does not need to take offense (or be a 'snowflake') to participate.
We all should...
You misspelled "interested". Don't project your feeling of offense on others. Some of us simply take interest in the state of social issues.
The fact that the above comment was upvoted, and yours downvoted, says it all.
This is already how it is in the United States for the most part. My wife isn't allowed to text or call any of her employees after hours.
I did. Years ago. But unlike lassannn, will not repost.
Can you tell us more about context? I've always wondered if they can catch you...
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're saying this as obvious mockery of the overweight Y'all Qaeda.
Oh man, if I wasn't still at work right now, I would totally be AfterEffects'ing out her teeth
