You're a librarian and you think library books are free?

>It's an algorithm trained to mimic human output from a prompt.
This is an over-simplification, the whole deal with ChatGPT and GPT-4 is that they weren't just trained on huge quantities of unlabelled human text, they were also specifically trained to be "aligned" to desirable properties like truth-telling.

The accident rate of helicopters is much lower than cars.

Reply to comment by Linkzy_b in The often misused buzzword Paradigm originated in extremely popular and controversial philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn's work; he defined the term in two core ways: firstly as a disciplinary matrix (similar to the concept of a worldview) and secondly as an exemplar by thelivingphilosophy
But that's always true. Philosophers always disagree. The correct word is "influential".

Totally wrong. The word is over 500 years old. Perhaps philosophy isn't for you, as you've failed at basic academic rigour. Delete this.

Reply to Pride and Prejudice to me is the epitome of romance novels but I recently found something about Elizabeth that I disliked by nyanyaneko2
She's not talking about superiority over other women, just the insincere social climbers who a person in Darcy's position would naturally find himself surrounded by.

Not really true. Imaginary numbers were put on a sound footing by Gauss in the 1800s. Mathematicians were very comfortable with them by the time of quantum physics. Generally mathematicians are not concerned about whether there are physical applications.

It's not what it's "actually for", it's one application among many, including their original algebraic origins.

And that the same force from the Earth was pulling on the moon. His was a theory of universal gravitation. Universal is the important idea.

To elaborate. Aristotle believed that the earth element strove to be at the centre of the universe, water strove to be above earth, air above water, and fire above air. There was no concept of a force pulling everything together as in Newtonian physics.

Very unclear why hedge funds shouldn't be allowed to use AI or what relevance this has to AI bias.

Current models like GPT-3 do not "get angry". They really have no conception of the world. They can replicate textual styles similar to what they've seen on the internet. It contains no more genuine anger than a photocopier copying a picture of an angry face.

Not really. Many libraries work that way. And the ones that don't, you're paying for through taxes. The books are paid for.
