Question is flawed; thought occurs in the mind: the moment you share that thought you are portentously sharing ramblings of your mond you havent really thought through fully…

(TLDR: if you have a point; make it- thinking out loud sometimes is useful, but rarely in the online forum, unless you’re in DMs or something…)

This is like a poorly templated LLM to make fake Wikipedia articles… nothing I put in provides accurate or realistic information

Add the ability to write a text prompt; accessibility wise - not everyone speaks the same or can be understood by basic speech to text

Having spent about 200$ on credits… yes, it glues together your words through transformers into images… of snippets of the identified corpus of images it has… with some specific prompt phrasings having cool weighting for making really nicely looking glued together results… it’s a model: classical computing - everything is turtles and duct tape and rivets and glue, all the way down…

Hey yeah! Imagine like two small guys in a garage could like make a indexer for the web and call it a search engine and just make it work the best, and gain market dominance and become a little bit slower to innovate than authors “back in 2006” nostalgia…

RootKitBeerCat — Sat, 11 Jun 2022 02:37:44 +0000

It’s like installing an app on your computer; your giving the app permissions to your computer… there’s so much Google can’t control that it’s dumb to blame them here… I’m not saying “every end user should be wary of their apps and test them all”, but basically… what’s the alternative? Build your own mobile os, and then side load and very every apk?!
