Just waiting on Microsoft to tell me about hot singles in my area, and the trifecta will be complete
Given how ChatGPT was trained to avoid talking about anything remotely related to sex at all costs, it's gonna be awkward.

It is astonishing to me for someone to find no uses for it. We've been reading three custom made children adventure stories to our kids every night. My wife made custom black history month trivia, quizzes and posters I learned more about basic financial terms, music theory, caught up on concussion treatment and myriad other things We created quick rhymes for school And I feel there are astonishing things I haven't ev…
You don't need a chatbot to do any of that. You're basically just saying your too damn lazy to do any of this stuff unless the amount of effort you need to put in is as minimal as possible. While I get being tired and stressed (I'm a parent too) I feel like what you're doing is not much better than just zoning out.
Uh, couldn’t link directly to Microsoft? https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/02/07/reinventing-sear...
I'm so confused. Is Microsoft straight-up BSing?

Edge is genuinely very very good. It does have some dev tool problems that I've run into, but for browser it's top notch.
Does it nag you constantly and do everything it can to steal data from you? I think lots of Microsoft products are now technically very good, but I don't like using them because they can't stop annoying me about stuff, and every time I turn my back are committing industrial espionage.
I remember having to spend a little while de-shittifying it, they push the Shopping/Rewards stuff pretty hard and clutter up the UI. You can't get rid of Bing on the new tab page without extensions / other hoops.
It's data policy + great search + no ads + AI Summary is just killer and has completely transformed my web experience.
The Edge integration announced today also looks very impressive. I chuckled at the thought that MS is probably about to make a daily Edge user out of me and a lot of other people, but of course Edge is Chrome under the hood now. So Google beat MS to browser market dominance, and now MS is using their browser as a platform to go after Google's core business. Neat. I think this tech is going to be transformative for ev…
> I wish I could just explain to ChatGPT what I need copied and pasted from one document to another or what needs to be filled out. Recently, in a conversation with ChatGPT, I gave him a system administration task and told him I was a Linux terminal running bash and I would paste and execute everything he told me into the shell (and respond with the output). It worked okay – I wouldn't recommend it for production use…
This is a potentially momentous occasion here. Microsoft is betting hard that they can mount a challenge to Google, and I think ChatGPT can credibly attempt that. The answer from Google so far is weak. The thought that Bing may actually overtake Google would be hilarious a few months ago, and now it looks... possible?

That most people who are very concerned about AI learning from their work have themselves learned from other peoples’ work. Culture is accretive. We all contribute, none of us create net new from scratch.
I can kind of see that, but he's just one person and he bought the books he learned from. I presume OpenAI doesn't pay a fraction of the book's cost up to the writer every time it spits out content based on the book (it -at most- paid for the book once and ingested all its content to be used forever).

Are you suggesting that free / public domain material shouldn't be used for training, or were you not familiar with the training set?

Microsoft using blink/chromium is a good thing IMO. Once Apple is forced to open up iOS to other browsers, the blink/chromium monopoly will be complete. The only check on Google's ability to dictate what a web browser is will be the influence of companies like Microsoft, who are invested in blink/chromium and have the resources to potentially fork it if Google does something they don't like. I would not be surprised…
Your "dream" there fuels some of my nightmares. You may discount the potentially devasting threat of a possible massive ecological collapse from relying on one single implementation of web rendering because you don't think open source projects can die because "someone has the resources to potentially fork it", but open source is no guarantee. Beyond that, even discounting the threat of ecological collapse due to a si…
