Thanks for sharing. Where I work we know chatGPT exists but we're still using SO for obscure errors. We don't trust any copilot when dealing with our livelihoods.

At least you got away "easy". I'm waiting for the "...cost us $100k..." post.

*Politics ruined Hollywood.

I like Brave's approach: You search for what you want. If you're going to use AI they have a button right there with their respective links to dig in even more (I think it's an excellent feature since it's giving credit to the original content. Maybe highlight the sources a bit more to send traffic onto their websites).

If people stop posting, even chatGPT will be useless since it can't keep up with current bugs, new ways to solve them, etc...

StackOverflow is destroying its brand one step at a time. ChatGPT is good for boilerplate and generic errors. I still use SO for complex errors that are still getting updated with new ways to solve that said error, etc...

Without the community posting and answering questions, ChatGPT won't work anymore. They (SO) have to block any scrapping, wait until GPU prices go down, or use open-source LLMs with their data and figure out how to monetize that service (maybe giving some percentage to devs, etc...) or even check if that approach (add a chatbot service) makes sense.

They just caved to the FOMO mentality without considering that tech is always evolving and they need engineers, dev, etc... to keep finding out bugs, writing about their experiences on how they solved those errors, etc...

We'll see if a different contender figures this out and comes out with that solution if SO doesn't change its course.

If so, the West must ban China from accessing Western markets. It's unfair to everyone to allow China to play ball in our yard while We can't go there and play. Any company trying to make it in China will eventually collapse since the same government will help its counterpart defeat the foreign company.

It's interesting since China is restrictive on everything, but they're allowed to play ball in other people's fields. They need to be banned from the WTO and the West in general until they change their tactics.

This. I work in a startup and told upper management we need to keep focusing on ML models that bring tangible benefits to our customers and then, try to integrate LLMs into their current flow instead of pivoting completely to LLMs. It seems they valued the input and now we're going for a hybrid approach.

There are still opportunities for us SWEs even with the advent of chatGPT. Heck, lots of businesses are just an IG page + Google Sheets.

Nice. Is there a way to access the roadmap or to be on the loop regarding new features?

Interesting concept. Are you planning on offering an interactive embedding alternative (add the spreadsheet to an existing app) soon?

Gsheets and Excel are hard to beat, so I assume they're focusing on big companies.

I wouldn't use any chatbot when it comes to money related stuff.

Listen, I have 2 boys (6yrs and 8 months) and I'm doing all I can to buy a house and land to cultivate just in case. It'll be really hard since everything is expensive but I'm hopeful things could get better if the war in Ukraine ends, the pending global recession start to fade away, and interests go down.

The end game here is to have just enough just in case AI comes to fruition and we all go bust.

I'm still trying to teach my children how to code, Electronics, etc... Since, well, that's what I know. Other than that, I'm just trying to give them a head start in life even I didn't have one.

I'm curious about this premise. Which platform allows free speech with little to no moderation? Could Mastodon be that platform?

I haven't heard of chdb. Thanks for sharing it.

Eyewitness here.

Website using webflow, etc. Reality is that even customers are moving on that direction. If you don't look like you're a serious company, they won't look at you.

Not at all.

If you don't want my money, so be it.

This. I don't follow German politics (nor European politics for that matter) but we have to check why the perceived opinion is shifting to the right.

Google Domains, a product that gave them some change(189M), was shut down.

It seems like they'll shut down any product that doesn't cause the world to stop.

We're using some products and upper management is thinking on moving parts of the core business to different platforms "just in case".

Google is loosing what little credibility they have left by always shutting down perfectly good products.

I used chatgpt to try to fix some issues with certbot, docker, and nodejs, I just gave up and went straight to forums, etc... I found out what I was looking for by interacting and putting together the answer out of those interactions. Of course, chatGPT is not "intelligent" to comprehend but that's how "open" AI and tech bros are selling it. I didn't even flinch when Microsoft announced it was going to implement AI in its search engine. Habits are difficult to change.

I'm still using Search engines (Brave most of the time and google when I can't find what I'm looking for), tech forums, StackOverflow (Still a tech gold mine), etc... and lastly chatgpt if I have time to write a really good prompt.

The bubble is still there, few are paying attention outside it, let alone using it to be "rich". Heck, Crypto Bros are now selling courses on how to monetize chatGPT, and what's worse, people are buying it! It's the same cycle over and over again.

Yes, LLMs brought decades of R&D to the forefront of society and put that piece of tech on people's hands yet that doesn't mean everyone will adopt it just because. Our phones are engineering marvels yet we use them for mundane things most of the time.

> At face value, seems like a good thing.

It's not going to stop there. They went full 180 degrees and now care about the money above all else. I don't trust them and hope more competition gets in the arena.

Africa, LATAM, and parts of Asia are still for grabs.

Interesting. Musk "switched sides" and suddenly twitter becomes the worst social media imaginable. To be honest, my feed didn't change much after Musk took over.

Instagram is just business ads at this point, TikTok is adding ads and their feed is getting worse, I don't even know what's happening on fb. Reddit is somewhat bearable only if you follow enough subs.

I don't want to be on an echo chamber when discussing general topics, politics, etc... That doesn't get anywhere.

Well, given that a good chunk of the audience is treating LLMs as the next step in human intelligence, you tend to be very critical, trying to prove to the other side this is not what they're claiming to be.

Well, this would be interesting. Either this will hinder innovation (why bother creating something if anyone can steal it and use it) or will create a new age of innovation based sharing knowledge between citizens.

Time will tell.

That site looks tidy. It's clean, modern, and pleasant to watch. Your team did a great job.

I know an SMB that has all its operations on Google Sheets. They told me they don't have time to learn any tool (all their efforts go to keep the business running), and they don't have the money to hire a full-time dev. I offered them the opportunity to develop their platform pro bono. They're thrilled since they will be the first business with that type of platform.
