Watch it again, opening to a girl you don’t know with “I love you” is not a great opening. That series explains why quite well I guess it seems more acceptable to do this in Indian culture? But I can’t imagine it goes down well most of the time there either, it’s just very needy

It’s probably rate limiting. It’s expensive as fuck to run so they limit accounts. But yea for small scripts the results it produces are insane. And the fact it understands so many languages and frameworks as well is crazy. It can write brainfuck which is a language designed to be incomprehensible It can convert to and from base64 and hexadecimal too

It legitimately can almost solve a couple of the tasks I had to do at work today. It was able to write basic AWS CloudFormation templates for me based on 2 or 3 requirements. If you continue to give it more requirements over time it tends to be able to incorporate them pretty effectively too. Would I trust it without human intervention? No not at all, but the fact it can even come close to doing this is insane.

It’s not that useful to think about. Your time is better spent going and being sociable a lot. You’ll learn what works and what doesn’t

Turns out it sucks ass at ASCII art lol But it tries its best

In this case it’s more about essays. You could get ChatGPT to write parts of your essay for you quite easily.

I bet you anti-plagiarism companies are already writing tools to detect AI responses. Having said that I think the main academic ones run more on the illusion of making you think they’re far more advanced than they really are, instead of actually being good at detecting plagiarism, so maybe not

The important step it has made is that you can get it to refine its answers. It can give you some code or a template and then you can tell it what you want to change and it will do that. That’s a monumental step in AI because previously one of the limiting factors for AI replacing say artists or programmers was that it isn’t really iterative. It just spouts out answers and doesn’t take iterative feedback if you don’t like the output

You still couldn’t actually substitute a real programmer for it. It makes subtle mistakes that you need to correct it on. But the results are still almost mind-boggling.

I’m actually insanely impressed by how well it can code. It can write up basic controllers for Symfony, the web framework I use at work. With some basic instruction it wrote a homepage with a sign up form that used reCAPTCHA and CSRF tokens. It wrote up a detailed list of security concerns for a sign up form as well, and could implement code-based solutions to those when asked. Anyone who knows programming knows that’s just INSANE

This is the best explanation. It's similar to post-nut clarity

Its programming skills are actually insanely impressive. And it can fix its mistakes if you point them out. Here I gave it really contrived instructions for a python program and it almost gets it right first try. I point out that it made a mistake, and it fixes it!!! Its end solution is not exactly the nicest solution, but it's technically correct. And the fact it can fix mistakes if you point them out is exceptional.

I’ve worked with him before. I don’t wanna reveal too much since you can trace it back to me in real life quite easily. He was really nice and seemed super genuine on the first project. Then he ghosted me out of nowhere on the second project Tried to reconcile months later but I imagine that was just because he had another project idea. I was busy so I didn’t reply Make of that what you will. I think he’s probably a pretty genuine dude overall

Why are you so keen to draw the line at art? Where has your valiant heart been while factory workers have been losing their jobs to automation and more primitive AI for a century? Why do you care so strongly only now that your job is threatened?

@Tyler Robinson Did you get the idea for that topic from Kanye? I think I remember you fangirling over him a while back Either way, it’s a conversation that has a high risk of devolving into conspiracy, racism and stereotyping (which are all against forum guidelines) without offering any clear benefit worth that risk

At the moment this is a valid argument, but if you look at ChatGPT for example it is able to combine pretty complex instructions and produce things like programming code based on those requirements. It’s basic and it makes mistakes just now but it’s already very impressive, and if you look at how fast AI technology is improving… hmmm

What did she mean by that?

@Tyler Robinson There are tons of high quality freelance developers who will do almost anything you can think of. Non-technical people think they got 'scammed' because they hire the cheapest developer and expect them to replicate something like a twitter app for minimum wage or less and then are disappointed with the results. They didn't get scammed, they got exactly what they paid for. I worked for a freelance developer as an intern (websites not apps, but roughly same idea) who was probably one of the best developers of the particular framework he was an expert on in the country. He worked freelance because it offered him more flexibility, more pay, and he wanted to grow his own business. But some of the bespoke web apps he produced were exceptional. And actually, one of the groups who are MOST likely to scam you are overly corporate IT companies, not freelancers. They may often charge a company ridiculous prices for an average (at best) end product that takes them quite a long time to produce. For example my university paid Oracle around £15 million for the bit of software that manages our students information and class timetables, and it is buggy, slow, looks like it was built in the late 90s and is almost impossible to navigate. They also paid a further £1-2 million for follow up maintenance. And it's not like that software does anything all that special or unique.

The way you write this sounds exceptionally creepy and a tad delusional lol

My personal preference is nightgame because it actually feels like fun instead of a chore. But it will be different for everyone. Daygame is also pretty risky in terms of being perceived as a creep.

I agree with you about day game. But in theory a guy who knows what he is doing could make these two scenarios indistinguishable.

The thing is that TONS of couples meet this way. So you can't just rule out the grocery store as a way to meet a partner. What's creepy is going out specifically to approach women at a grocery store. If you happen to see a girl you think is really special and cute when you're out and about doing what you do normally, going and talking to her isn't weird most of the time if you possess basic social skills. It's probably how a sizeable chunk of couples meet, lol.

No one really knows, is the only truthful answer. It probably depends on you. I’ve gone through periods of my life where I watch porn and where I don’t and it doesn’t seem to matter much for me as far as I can tell. I’ve settled on a moderated approach for the time being. I think it probably depends on why you watch porn. If you are doing to to cope with being lonely and unable to attract girls then it’s probably pretty unhealthy.

A) Generally it’s pretty rude to go into a cafe and tell people to leave and come to your cafe instead. That’s roughly analogous to what happened. B) I happen to think the cult risk argument is pretty valid too, but that’s harder to prove. Spirituality/self-help communities are weird and unique in that they attract wacky people. The not so wacky people have a responsibility to look out for the wacky ones. Discord is a much easier environment for wacky people to be subtly influenced into being even more wacky C) Dynamics that force people to be a little on edge about what they post and not just rattle off whatever is on their mind is also better for personal growth which is supposedly why we are all here. D) People don’t want a discord server because it will help them grow, people want one because it’s a more efficient distraction
