    The world after Neuralink. How would non-implanters thrive?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    They are too optimistic in all respects. People will lose their jobs? Doesn't matter! There will be even more new jobs. Doesn't matter that these people are 80 and won't become AI curators in their remaining lifetime. I personally would adopt, just not as an early adopter ... guessing in 15...

    ChatGPT AI is a huge breakthrough, a Google killer

    Yeah it is interesting what Midjourney is bad at compared to what it absolutely nails. Something worth trying is adding a link to a photo in the prompt. My new avatar is something that Midjourney created based on a photo of mine. I added "undercut" as a keyword and it managed to keep a lot of...

    Just checked again. It is the "people also asked" section. Yes, the link is shown below the answer, but I missed that earlier.

    Small distinction, it (Google) fetched the quote from an article and put it in a FAQ widget. Not quite the same as linking to that article, I didn't have to follow a link.

    Why Can't We Change?

    Wrong conclusion. If hundreds of millions of people struggle with this then it can't simply be dismissed as an excuse. Serious flaw in pretty much everybody's mental model who has been brainwashed by feel-good self-help bs that sells.

    Google says: Jasper, a copywriting startup built on OpenAI's flagship large-language model, GPT-3 ChatGPT is just a fancy way to interact with GPT-3, so they probaby got that from OpenAI as well.

    I can't belive the day job and commitments are hardly ever mentioned here. What is the fuel that allows you to reach escape velocity to get out of the day job gravity? All colleagues who got kids burried all their plans and insisted they had to, even those that made houndreds of thousands of...

    Elon seems to cut all ties with OpenAI. He stated that when he cofounded it it was both Open Source and non profit, both are no longer true. Twitter used to be data source for OpenAI, Elon stopped that. Don't know much about Brockman and Altman, but all AI systems seem to be extremely woke...

    Request for feedback: (idea) a tool for making real connections quickly

    IDEA 
    I don't think I have read a full book on the topic, so hard to recommend one. Personally I repeatedly had my high hopes crushed on different platforms. There were few interesting people matching my criteria, none of them were active. Then later I read about the "network effect" in several...

    IDEA 
    I have to say it is rare that people react to negative feedback this well, and you don't seem to be a lazy thinker. You also have a systematic approach. That said, I think many companies and individuals have tried taking on the issue you want to solve and Facebook is simply the gold standard...

    Request for feedback: (idea) a tool for making real connections quickly

    IDEA 
    It is true that most platforms mostly use groups, but there are many where you can search for tags / interests as well. The experience is always horrible. The main problem with this approach, especially when you limit it to an organization, is that there will be very few matches with your...

    Your 2023 Stock Market Predictions?

    INVESTING 
    Chose 23-26,000 I posted graphs that show how equities usually respond to monetary policy changes with a huge delay and I expect recession indicators to become more and more apparent in the near future. EPS estimates have already started trending downwards. There might be some upwards phases...

    Should I Continue with Web Design or Learn how to make AI

    I think we mostly agree, but thinking about the future is not completely pointless. People who are successful got the timing right. There is immense value to be unlocked in the "adjacent possible". Ray Kurzweil became a "Futurist" not because that is his thing, but because it helped him time...

    Should I Continue with Web Design or Learn how to make AI

    I think that sounds a little too hostile and negative. Basic AI projects are relatively approachable, but it would be a huge pivot into a whole different kind of ballgame. Based on the reasoning in the original post, I agree with the gist of the reply. To position yourself in a way to not...

    What are good books to learn and implement AI?

    Do you already have a product idea in mind (image recognition? Chatbot? Autonomous robots?), or do just want to enter the field with an open mind and experiment?

    What are good books to learn and implement AI?

    BOOKS 
    What do you mean when you say "implement AI"? Do you have a goal or vision? If you are talking about programming, then I would start with researching online to get a feel for what is out there, then buy books once you have identified areas where a deep dive makes sense. A good type of resource...

    People seem to to end up on a different version of ChatGPT ... I see outtakes and run into walls all the time. Outtake tweets on Twitter are also on the rise.

    Thought the same thing about large language models that some people bring up ... that they just create plausible sounding text and won't come up with anything new, but apparently, especially when they are trained the right way (e.g. chain-of-thought prompting), new capabilites keep emerging and...
