Method-X··on The LLama Effect: Leak Sparked a Series of Open Source Alternatives to ChatGPT
It has the ability to reason. It may not be conscious, but it is intelligent.
Method-X··on I wish GPT4 had never happened
This has been exactly my experience as well.
Method-X··on The Life Engine
This would make for an awesome screen saver.
Method-X··on Show HN: Machato — A native macOS client for ChatGPT
I'm on the waiting list for GPT4 API access. Giving this thing an entire projects codebase will be super interesting!
Method-X··on Show HN: Machato — A native macOS client for ChatGPT
Not even kidding, I would pay $1000 USD per month for GPT4 access.

> ChatGPT Plus is crazy expensive

$20 per month is not crazy expensive relative to the value it provides.

Method-X··on Simply explained: How does GPT work?
It sounds like your mindset is the root of your struggles. Embracing change and adapting to new technologies has always been crucial in our industry. Instead of waiting for help from others, take control and collaborate with like-minded people. If you don't like the status quo, work toward changing it.
Method-X··on ChatGPT simulates 1987 BBS System
They don't want more users right now (the sharing aspect is trivial).
Method-X··on ChatGPT simulates 1987 BBS System
Definitely agree. Honestly though, I think it's because their servers are literally melting right now. Once they have that under control, they will add viral features.
Method-X··on Emergent Mind: AI News, Curated and Explained by AI
I have a bug to report:

When I signed up, I set my username as "matt" and just noticed your username is "Matt" (with an uppercase M). So, seems like username are not case sensitive.

The site looks super nice and clean!

It’s not a commercial product.

Can you give an example on how you prompted the model? Your issue is probably related to that, but I would need an example to be sure. I've found the 7b Alpaca model [1] to work surprisingly well! Here's how you're supposed to prompt it:

Method-X··on Mastodon hit 10M users
Doesn't look like there are many active users.
Method-X··on Midjourney v5 can do hands
Why are these models so bad at hands?
Method-X··on Not by AI
Yes, it's more accurate to say that ideas exist on a spectrum of novelty, with varying degrees of originality.
Method-X··on Tech entrepreneurship and shifting sentiment
I agree with you, but I don't think we're ever going back to simpler times. While I'm not religious, I have often wondered if this is what the "Garden of Eden" story warned us about. Or more cynically, "Industrial Society and Its Future".
Method-X··on ChatGPT for Robotics
Westworld, here we come!
Method-X··on Transmission v4.0
From the download page:

> The macOS version is not well supported, because we don't have active macOS developers/contributors.

My hopes were dashed :(

Method-X··on ChatGPT and the Enshittening of Knowledge
This is so on point. While everyone was arguing that LaMDA couldn't possibly be conscious a few months back, I was asking: what if we're not conscious?
Method-X··on ChatGPT and the Enshittening of Knowledge
I think this will push society toward better solutions to human verification. Probably through governments or their corporate proxies. Will that end up good or bad? I have no idea, but we'll find out soon.

Have had a Model 3 since 2018. Zero issues. Same for friends.
Method-X··on Tesla used car price bubble pops, weighs on new car demand
If only the world were made up of more free thinking people like you. Seems like these days everything has to fit into either a blue or red box. Ugh.
Method-X··on Twitter applies 7-day suspension to half a dozen journalists
Not going to take a position on the latest Twitter drama; just want to point something out:

>Narcissists are made not born

I have a background in abnormal psychology and this is false. Narcissists are either born or the behavioural disorder forms in very early childhood. I'm on mobile right now but will find a source and come back to edit this reply.

Again, not taking sides or even care much about the Twitter thing. Just wanted to point that misconception out.

Method-X··on Ask HN: Should HN ban ChatGPT/generated responses?
I've had social anxiety my entire life. You need to push yourself to get past it. There is simply no other healthy way to deal with it.
Method-X··on Ask HN: Should HN ban ChatGPT/generated responses?
They will have to find each other offline and come together in healthier ways. The world has changed a lot in the past couple decades. They'll be fine.
Method-X··on Disputing a Parking Fine with ChatGPT
I asked ChatGPT:

In the context of music, the letter "A" refers to a musical note, and the number "7" refers to a chord. The chord is called a dominant seventh chord, and it is built by taking the first, third, fifth, and seventh notes of the A major scale. The letter "m" stands for minor, which means that the chord is a minor chord rather than a major chord. So, the chord "A7m" is an A minor seventh chord.
