OpenAI blocks all VPNs. Some get through regardless, those seem to be the exception.
The list of those that successfully connect is very interesting information.
I just run my own on $5 spinups

#122Not much, really. OpenAI blocks my company's VPN so I can't even get to ChatGPT.

#123Working for a large international company I use ChatGPT mostly as a code generator for one time tools (for a variety of languages and shells) and also to generate boilerplate text for email answers and document templates. I'm looking at this form a technical perspective and anything that can help my creative side be a bit better is good. A 2023 way of the rubber duck method of debugging, or a 2023 method of generatin…
You can run a fully offline, commercially viable, large language model from Nomic AI here locally on your machine: https://gpt4all.io/index.html
I love the effort, and the package looks great. But it seems like a very early version and not yet ready for prime time.
However, in a year I'm sure it'll be spontaneously demanding equal rights :)

#125ChatGPT is the bomb. I use it to create content, to help me find weird words, to help me find films that I totally don't remember the name of but just describe one scene that I remember, just the other day, I needed to find out how to pound nails into my office walls, but my fingers were too big to hold the nail so I asked for a solution using common business items and it listed 10 of them and one of the solutions was to use a rubber band to hold onto the nail which I did and it worked like a charm. I was trying to jury-rig something, but couldn't think of anything. It thought up 10 solutions in 10 seconds. So I didn't have to fiddle fuck with it for 45 minutes, only to give up and have wasted all that time.
I'll ask what kind of electronic equipment to buy. So many things.
I have found a lot of bugs with it, too, though, so I'm getting educated. For example, at least for me, I will ask for a citation of something, and it just gives me urls that to to 404. Never once have I got an actual real citation. So I'm careful about that.
There have also been many funny things, to me, that I have asked and got weird responses that amused me.

#127I use it to document my work week so that I have a record of what I am doing several years down the line. https://cruit.coralworks.ca

#128Using for academic research. It is especially useful for translating long strings of numbers in classical Chinese sources into Arabic numbers. It's not perfect, but well over 90% accurate and saves much tedium.
I find that when it writes code, I can't trust its output. I handle that by being Grumpy Old Programmer: I eyeball it closely and ask myself about error handling, assumptions, off-by-one errors, is it confusing the 1.1 API with 2.0, is it efficient or naive, and all the other questions that happen in a code review. So you're pushing 100 Chinese numbers through ChatGPT to get Arabic equivalents. What do you then do to…
I'm working with historical documents from the 18th century, and will likely be the last person to look at them for a decade or so, and consequently need to be correct. I translate them quickly manually, then use ChatGPT to check my efforts. It tends to catch my errors (about 1 in 20) and I catch its predictable mistakes (easy to see), which occur about 1 time in 10. The type of mistakes it makes (inventing a number in the 1000s position instead of using a 0) are ones I am unlikely to make, and vice versa (I am usually off by one due to a typo). So a strange, but serviceable team.
