Bing gives you much shorter answers, often without code examples

I've found that phind.com is pretty good, although I'm not sure which LLM it's backed by and I only use it for hobby projects.

"Expert" uses GPT-4.

phind.com claims they use GPT4 but you have turn Expert mode on. Otherwise it's their home baked model. It's explained here:

> Expert mode is our most advanced searching mode, powered by GPT-4. This mode hallucinates less and writes better code. We highly recommend that you use it for advanced questions. Whenever the "regenerate" button is pressed, Expert mode is used to increase the odds of a high-quality answer.

Now I wonder what are the emissions. Is this technology net positive in long run for things like climate change?

I have used it to help people eliminate food waste. My reach is about ~100k people max. I imagine people will be using this to create wasteful products, but also green solutions.

I, too, am curious how you used a fancier autocomplete to eliminate food waste.

That’s just on computing power. You are forgetting the human costs of ongoing development, maintenance of ChatGPT, power, SRE/operations, cooling costs, and et cetera. Now M$ is planning to create a specialized chip for AI which comes with its own R&D budget and ongoing costs. If it proves successful, ChatGPT will become a household brand and M$ could easily ask for $500 per month or more for professional/corporate u…

I like how you abbreviate "Microsoft" as "M$". It means you think of them without bias and with a clear head. /s

If you see public company as something other than vehicle to make $$$ for the investor it's you that might have bias problem.

Damn, they released the hypno drones already?

Sorry, I don't get the reference(?).

It's a reference to the incremental game "Universal Paperclip". This is when something like "AI singularity" is reached in the game.

UP is one of the few modern games that I've wanted to play more than once.

You should give it a shot, keep an open mind. Yes, it will get things wrong and yes, it will disappoint you. But every conversation I've had with it holds some surprises for me. It's a tool you'll need to learn to use before it actually becomes useful , but give it a couple minutes a few times a week and you'll start to see the diamonds in the rough.

Thanks, now my day is going to be wasted.

My main concern with AI is that I'm not so sure if there is a market for any kind of intelligence anymore. So much human talent and intelligence has been wasted over the past few years; so many potentially useful projects went unfunded, I struggle to think of what purpose AI would serve in such an economic system as ours. I can see its potential, but I can't see our current system facilitating that potential. It seem…

There is definitely a market for an intelligence crutch or assisted critical-thinking aid.

Like people slowly getting more obese, the general IQ and CT have been sliding for the last few decades. Not sure if it’s the food, media or zanax but society needs something.

I’d wager the Altmans of the world know this and figured out a way to monetize it. Necessity is the mother of invention after all.
