Yeah its not like my last algebra teacher could answer my questions correctly either. She just ranted about liberals and would call me out in front of the class for guessing on questions. She also gave worse grades to "hoes" and never really explained anything. Just another teacher devoting class time to "odd problems on pages 55 and 56."

A sometimes incorrect language model that isn't an rear end in a top hat is probably better than most US teachers. I know I'm making progress in algebra for the first time in my entire life.

I would say the problem with "one and done" is that energy prices took a significant dip in March and across April they actually have been on a uptick (at the writing of this post Brent is above $86). This is eventually going to make it's way back in economy and probably "make up" for the slower print in March.

In all honesty, if oil prices are staying high if not slightly rising, I don't see inflation going anywhere. It also means the Fed is still probably locked in with 2 more increases (and even then it remains to be seen what will happen afterward). The issue is the banking sector is getting weaker and as demand for mortgages evaporates (at above 7%), banks are going to continue to see pressure build as the Fed rates continue to advance on them.
The US really hasn't even begun to see things get bad to be honest.

Also, I think it is a mistake to think that falling consumer spending/unemployment is going to be the chief factor in figuring out inflation when it is really about OPEC and how they are going to manage energy costs.

There are examples out there of folks using autogpt scripts with gpt-4 to do some pretty impressive tasks using different apis, people are starting to use it more than just as a chatbot which points to where development will trend in the future I think. Once it reaches an "acceptable" level of correct one-shot answers generally, people will jam it into all sorts of stuff to spit out all sorts of content.

What's worse though are there are anecdotes out there of people submitting papers they wrote from like ten years ago into plagiarism checker sites that say entire paragraphs are written by AIs, and these sites are what teachers force you to submit to when you turn in papers lol. Like it or not education/homework is hosed at the moment and I don't envy being an English teacher right now.

ill never forget a price war between rival gas stations who drove prices down to 19 cents a gallon in 98 (i think, somewhere in 96-99). filled up the truck ,filled up the 100 gallon gas tank in the bank, and i think my dad made a few more trips because he'd fill up the spare 500 gallon tank we had and then go back and get more. getting 100 gallons for under $20 (by a penny) was just :hellyeah:

these plagiarism checking sites and software retain a copy of the work you submitted and add it to their database of comparisons. then they sell themselves to the next college or institution by bragging about how many unique pieces they have in their comparison database.

you know it gives wrong answers confidently all the time right? hope ur looking up stuff on wikipwdia or some thing

It's hilariously off base on anything I'd say I'm a SME on, but it does this thing where when I point it out, it doesn't skip a beat and says "You're right. (Repeats my correction)" and goes back to prattling wrong.

I don't know if people here have jobs where they have to apply by technical knowledge and theory, but for me, and this is most obvious where it's things I know forwards and backwards, GPT is hilariously wrong and just reading a good Oxford Handbook of X would serve you infinitely better.

OpenAI developed a checker that's quick and easy to use. The tell is that, as a language model blah blah blah, it has certain stock words and phrases, and uses a particularly trite and repetitive writing style for introductions and conclusions. If you paraphrase it enough to pass the checker, you may as well paraphrase the proper sources and save yourself the frustration, while knowing the work is correct.

Maybe look up what happened to America in the decades after losing its textile industry. Just a thought.

“The world continued” is essentially a meaningless phrase.

The flip side to this is that the people screaming the loudest about AI revolutionizing everything have a huge amount of overlap with the scammers who push poo poo like crypto at every possible opportunity. Browse through sites like Udemy and you'll find a ridiculous number of "prompt engineering" and related AI courses already, because a specific group has latched onto this as their next grift and that group tends to be extremely online and extremely good at creating hype.

It's this. Fundamentally, this poo poo will not work in a lot of cases where copyright (AI 'creative' output cannot be cast iron defendable without enough work that it seriously hurts the value prep at best) or accountability matter, and the law on either of those is not gonna shift because if it does, it breaks the economy that deal with those things nearly completely. These models are crimes.txt in more ways then I can count, and they're trying to offload this piece of computational corium before the law catches up and kicks their rear end. Don't try and cheat using this poo poo, as soon as detection catches up - and if the economy is to stay functional, it will have to, one way or another - you're gonna get birched.

Frankly, if we wanna trade acedotes, I trust a lifer art design lead saying some high power names are explicitly banning it in recent contract amendments, but being necessarily cagy due to NDAs a lot more then reddit acedotes, because it is *entirely* predictable from current copyright law.

Frankly the most Doomsday economics - and thus, most plausible - is that the real money is finding it and getting it off sites and asset chains of title.
