if 30% of the working population loses their jobs in a few months there will be real externalities impacting the 70% who still have them because they don't exist in a vacuum.

maybe everything will balance itself out without any intervention eventually but it feels to me like the rate of unprecedented financial ~events~ is only increasing and with greater risks requiring more intervention to prevent catatastrophe or large scale suffering

would gladly watch a full length video of it working. i'm already imagining a future where some guy with a big plot of land has solar powered electric heavy machines building him a gigantic dirt pyramid non-stop. (hopefully there are more practical uses too lol like assembling flood barriers)

it's a sad thing i notice in so many sites and apps that the tiny chance of getting some money out of the small % of people who click the pop up ad or choose to sign up for the email list or whatever incentivizes the company to provide a worse user experience for the rest of the users

edit: i guess context matters though. if i'm driving with my phone on the dash, having a one click "gas station" button is pretty nice. in an ideal world, the phone would determine when im driving and only show the button then

i wonder if companies have seen increased valuations from saying they are hiring for tons of positions without actually following through on the actual hiring

i think maybe your earlier comment was about the average trustworthiness of all podcasts vs the same for all gpt responses. i would probably side with gpt4 in that context.

however, there are plenty of situations where the comparison is between a podcast from the best human in the world at something and gpt which might have less training data or maybe the risks for the topic aren't eating an uncooked turkey but learning cpr wrong or having an airbag not deploy

with chatgpt i don't know it's "experience" or "education" on a topic and it has no social accountability motivating it to make sure it gets things right so i can't estimate how much i should trust it in the same way.

what's keeping people with OpenAI for now is that chatGPT is free and GPT3.5 and GPT4 are the best. over time I expect the gap in performance to get smaller and the cost to run these to get cheaper.

if google gives me something close to as good as OpenAI's offering for the same price and it pull data from my gmail or my calendar or my google drive then i'll switch to that.
