I put this one in the wrong thread. I saw an interview with the Chief Scientist Ilya Sutskever, who led the OpenAI board to push Altman out. (I didn't think to save the link, sorry.) Sutskever is one of the people obsessed with how evil sophisticated AI could be in the future, and said that's a much bigger threat than global warming. Sigh.

nachos posted:Somehow AI has enabled 500 out of 723 workers to unilaterally decide they can just go work at a direct competitor tomorrow so maybe there’s something there. That’d be the most impressive display of power labor has shown.. ever? In California, non-compete clauses are illegal, and not binding even if they're in the employment contract.

mllaneza posted:I am once again asking anyone who complains about Google's results being trash "lately" to run the same search in an Incognito session and report back on any differences in results. When I use DuckDuckGo, the page isn't clotted with SEO spam. Do a search for "chinotto fruit" on Google. Then do the same search on DuckDuckGo. Notice that the top of the Google results page is a synthesized textbox, plus a lot of drop-downs for commonly-asked questions. Google has decided what I want to see, and it's not my search results.   Now try just "chinotto". Again, note the real estate taken up by infoboxes.

(splitting this up to provide page break) Now search for [red dog]. Scroll past the top level of infoboxes, but stay on the first page. Google:  Note the Red Dog Saloon and Red Dog Pet Salon and Spa. DuckDuckGo:  Notes: I've never searched for "red dog" before, and I don't live in either of the states with the saloon and salon.

I'm surprised that GPT et al haven't tried or said that they used something like Project Gutenburg for training data.

quote:Originally, according to some historians, sticker prices were invented by the Quakers. Allegedly (I have not checked this), they had a theological belief that it was dishonest to charge someone more than a “fair” price reflecting the cost and trouble of production, and also dishonest to offer someone less than goods were worth. Consequently, Quaker merchants and industrialists set a price and refused to haggle. It is true, although not quite the way (PDF) Max Weber thought it worked. The Friends set a single price for several moral reasons, discussed in the link. At first, Friends lost money because customers preferred to haggle. (See: trying to abolish tips.) Eventually customers realized that you could send a child or an inexperienced servant to a Friend-owned business to do your marketing, and they would not get cheated. So people who enjoyed haggling as a sport continued to stay away from the Friends, but people who liked having a consistent price preferred their stores.

The thing about surge pricing is that it is not predictable. You think that buying a single at 10 AM is safe but, Whoops. A tour bus full of people poured in, and your burger just went up fifty cents. They weren't planning on announcing the higher-cost hours. It was entirely luck of the draw.

I had a Costco problem a year or so back and I sent a polite note to the CEO. One of his assistants got back to me immediately and fixed it. Then she followed up to make sure the delivery had gone smoothly.
