The biggest challenge facing CBDCs (Central Bank control of Digital Currencies) is that any laws or regulations concerning them can be changed at anytime, without the consent of the governed.

See Credit Suisse.

Will someone please think of the children?!

> ... at least until governments around the world are prepared to address a tsunami of misinformation

The American system, as designed, is diametrically opposed to waiting for governments around the world to protect you from misinformation.

Agreed. GPT isn't recycling, regurgitating, or anything like that. It's more like remixing, which is pretty fascinating. It's like having an opinionated DJ that plays whatever you ask-ish. But, if you ask for something too edgy it just plays beat-heavy Beethoven with a Run DMC voice over, on repeat.

Hahahaha! 'd69:beef:cafe:feed:face:6969:0420:0001'

As a "minority" I completely agree with you. IMO, the White Knights target the "others" for an opportunity to virtue signal. It got old after the first time it happened.

This is great advice.

Half seems low, but then again, I am in the 50% that believes news organizations deliberately mislead for biased gain.

Don’t listen to anyone telling you that cold calling doesn’t work. It works!

You want to get a step-by-step book that you can relate to. I had to read five or six of them before I found one that really spoke to me. It was an uphill battle. But, eventually even I, a gruffy nerd, started landing appointments.

Cold calling is a little bit like getting up in the morning to do a hard work out. You have to motivate yourself. You can do it.

The solution for Google is to filter generated content, period. That will lead to an arms race of sorts, similar to the SEO keyword arms race. The SEO arms race resulted in keyword relevant, but unoriginal minimally useful content.

The problem for Google is that their advertisers love generated content.

> ...and challenge incorrect assumptions

What does that mean? It doesn't really matter what it means today. What matters is what will it mean when the next thing becomes the current thing.

The impact of your decision will grow with time. Always getting better. The upside is immense. The downside is that very few people will understand or share your experience.

Yes, all the way until age 40. Then, reality.

Quick. Release a song on Soundcloud called "Internal Server Error". Search traffic will mint you a hit in no time.

I suspect the training was overfit to certain kinds of music. A bot that's fine tuned with "funk", "70's funk", and other similar music will produce better results.

Trying to imagine what the song "Internal Server Error" sounds like because when I typed that into Spotify it just repeated the same back to me. Then my screen bulged out with a screaming face. Then went back to normal. Weird.

Exactly.

I will be surprised if even GPT-3 (with training data), not to mention GPT-4-5-6 or 7, is made available to the masses. There's too much potential for disruption.

Also, I'd love to be surprised.

Cyphers, the algorithms used to encrypt the secret file, become obsolete over time.

We still need to solve for obsolescence. You can encrypt a file today using a cypher that will eventually be removed from all browsers, desktops, and phones.

Drowning in information... Starving for wisdom...

No matter what we come up with, we still have to seek wisdom from the wise. The internet (AI powered or not) will never be wise.

This gives me hope for humanity, and makes me love God more.

Before the real internet came and killed the forums, the weird bearded guy would lurk on the forums. He's the guy who makes you answer general questions like,

"Why would you want to do that?"

"What's this for?"

"Did you try searching before asking such a stupid question?"

The redpill in me says MSFT created dotnet to kill VB6. That tool made it too easy (and cheap) to create value through automation.

This could be Amazon anticipating a very slow holiday season.

And not just because of corporate layoffs.

Half the fun of having a bartender is to influence the alcohol content of your drinks. If the bartender has no influence on the drink the bartender/customer relationship is weak.

Can someone explain what I'm seeing here? It looks like there are stars in front of the Pillars of Creation itself. Is this an illusion?

It’s a miserable experience from top to bottom. Onboarding a new developer takes much longer and is far more tedious than one might expect. There are multiple layers of security employees must navigate. And when something breaks, anywhere, it’s a huge pain to sort out the source of the problem, find the right person responsible, and get something fixed.

If you find yourself in an organization that thinks this remote desktop environment is a great idea, do yourself a favor, if you can, and leave. You’ll give other devs more incentive to push back and make this a thing of the past, like “thin clients”.

How do you define harm? I hope you have a straightforward answer.

Yes, I know. Another enlightened Woke One eager to tell the “minority” how ignorant he or she (see what I did there?) is for not understanding just how much The Message is truly helping him or her.

If only the minority would shut up and listen all the troubles would woke themselves out.

Mobile apps must be available for use within a second or two at most every time they are run. If not, we just won’t use the app. On the other hand, mobile websites can commonly take 10 seconds to become readable.

So, why are apps slow? Because they don’t need to be fast unless users will not use them otherwise.
