The above comment is an example of this getting waved away.

The type of capitalism found in China is known as state capitalism and it's an unholy blend of central planning and free markets, with the government owning significant stakes in all key industries, exerting a massive control over both the economy and society as a whole using all of the methods used by previous Communist autocracies, only this time with far more technology.

Yeah, no. This comment alone would go against any government NDA - and this user is just some random person who, going by their comment history, most certainly has no inside knowledge of anything.

I sometimes wonder what needs to happen to people in order for them to confidently write nonsense like this.

It seems like the entire industry is in pure panic about AI, not just Google. Everyone hopes that LLMs will end years of homeopathic growth through iteration of long-existing technology, which is why it attracts tons of venture capital.

Google, which sits where IBM was decades ago, is too big, too corporate and too slow now, so they needed years to react to this fad. When they finally did, all they were able to come up with was a rushed equivalent of existing LLMs that suffers from all of the same problems.

Just tell them you're not drinking alcohol for health reasons. Nobody will really disagree with you on this.

Get one of those gamepad cradles with USB-C (but don't cheap out on it).

I agree. The only application that is fine for this in my opinion is using it solely for entertainment, as a toy.

The problem is of course that everyone and their mothers are pouring billions into what clearly should only be used as a toy, expecting it to perform miracles it currently can not and might never be able to pull off.

Its not chatgpt that’s just default config u can use the API endpoint to point to any chatgpt api compatible llm.

Since the issue with hallucinations is shared by all LLMs, not just ChatGPT, this doesn't change anything.

Are you seriously trying to push your ChatGPT "tool" in response to an article about language models like this one having substantial issues? "Not guaranteed" - yes, obviously, that's the point of the article - and from a quick look at your code, I don't see how this nonsense addresses any of that.

One of the most convincing tricks he pulled off was transporting two people from the stage to what looked like a believable beach. Totally fooled me (but I was a kid when I watched it).

Edit: I started to figure out that something was amiss soon after, because every single one of the supposedly "random" people he invited on stage to do his tricks with (usually by throwing plastic balls into the audience) wore incredibly "inoffensive" and poorly fitted clothes. At some point, I was able to spot which people he would end up picking from a mile away even before he had done so.
