so that means that all payment methods must be stored on your phone? How is that any safer than Apple Pay or PayPal?

Train own custom dataset on GPT-4

Recently an influencer claimed to have made a "companion chatbot"

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/snapchat-influencer-launches-an-ai-powered-virtual-girlfriend-to-help-cure-loneliness/ar-AA1b7csm

can you already train your own custom dataset on GPT-4?

How was this done?

are they still using Stripe? I do not think so.

stripe does not allow adult content. here is from their website

Adult Content Adult content is legal where I am selling it, why can’t I use Stripe?

We understand that your business may be legal, but for now, due to various reasons including requirements that apply to Stripe as a payment processor, requirements from our financial partners, and the potential risk exposure to Stripe, we're currently not able to work with businesses that sell or offer adult content or services.

Stop saying things only for the sake of saying things. Onlyfans is not a payment processor

Oh yea? Which one? Not a single mainstream processor allows adult content.

Misreading misinformation? LOL Double negatives are hard. LOL

Stop talking out of your ass and offer proof where CC processing for porn is allowed by a regular mainstream processor and regular rates.

try opening an adult website with fully legal content and see if you get approved for payment processing. I do not think you understand how this works.

Funny! Right around the time when there was porn backlash, the owner of onlyfans hired a female of color as their CEO to change the narrative around their business

Around the same time their PR machine started pushing articles on how onlyfans income was helping women raise their families. And how it had been a blessing in their lives.

OnlyFans and Payment Processing

Credit card companies do not allow processing for adult porn content

Then how is the biggest porn site in the world able to process credit cards with ease for millions of sex workers?

Not to mention legal ramifications - evidence such as audio, video will be brought into question

AI Hype Is Real

spartanliving4u — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 07:21:41 +0000

Let's assume that AI hype is real and it does end up transforming every aspect of our life in the next 5-10 years.

How do you envision life to be? Which facet of our lives will be very different? Where will it have the most impact?

What the Bloody Hell

spartanliving4u — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 00:50:41 +0000

I am getting sick of companies who are raising millions even in this environment, without a proven business model or even a working product.

I have built products & having a very hard time raising money.

Here is an example

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/arketa-fitness-wellness/id1451028025?see-all=reviews

Company has barely any reviews past 2020, growth is going down yet raised 7million in Feb 2023. Biz model relevant for the covid era. WTF?!!?

Here is another one

https://partiful.com

Raised 20 million in November based on 1 article in NYT. Barely any traffic on site, less than 10k visits and no business model. WTF?!?!?

The founders have no deep domain expertise, no from FAANG. Not even tech background.

What am I missing here?

The next frontier platform or app

spartanliving4u — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 07:28:42 +0000

Last few decades we have seen shifts in tech and massive growth from emerging tech such as

Late 1990s - internet 2000s - social media 2010s - mobile

what do you guys think will be next frontier in technology or platform? Will it be Meta or something else?
