The curve is a good one - in recent times it applies to automated driving, and how we were raving about it 5 years ago. You could even apply it to the concept of a metavers, were quite a few people (less cynical than me) were hyped for about the metaverse 12 months ago

This AI technology is astonishing - but it likely has some limitations that will come to light over the next months.

One possible one is the same as people say about AI Art - "it doesnt make anything new, it just rehashes other peoples work" - if there genuinely is a spark of creativity at the heart of good art and inventions... it isnt baked into something like chatGPT. Perhaps its better to think of it as something like electricity or air travel - it enables some neat things, but isnt very exciting until it is combined with human inginuity

When ChatGPT is ready to replace us, it will also be at a point when it will be able to answer OPs question and guide our future

that is the opposite of deflation, but I get what you are trying to say

deflationary means money becomes more valuable over time- or am I confused?

Why will it become worthless? It seems counterintuitive

I am mid 50s, and will retire within the next 5 years (maybe sooner, maybe later, maybe it will be forced upon me since I am an older person in the software world). If I get laid off and have to retire because of GPT, so be it.

But... For the last few years it has haunted me that maybe my savings have to support me and my 2 children. Even before chatGPT I spent time wondering how exactly they will be able to make a good, secure living with things like automation and outsourcing eating away at their ability to make good money

I have been processing my thoughts on chatGPT and I am not sure it is the risk that everyone thinks it is - but even so, things are changing so rapidly - how can you pick a career - any career- and expect it is still going to be viable in 10 years?

i dont have any advice - because nobody knows

Maybe you should ask ChatGPT

They are a bit shit compared to the Scottish ones (the originators of this tradition)

I thought the same thing - like maybe this one girl was absolutely horrible and everyone else bailed out because she was domineering and making the cheer team a toxic place.

Why do I have such a cold, bitter soul?

if you are saying AI can be more expressive than humans? Maybe.

Are you saying you are throwing in a couple of notes to make the tunes even better? Its hard to imagine people getting on board with that

exactly - everyone here slapping themselves on the back like they are some oracle at the rim of a new world that the "normals" can't comprehend

I dont understand your answer - for two reasons

1- Why will AI contribute to soil depletion and supply chain breakages? I imagine those things would be much better and faster with AI

2- if you are obsolete, inventing some other task for yourself (gardening) is not going to help you escape obselesence - in fact there are already AI / automated farms

If you are saying you are going to grow stuff to create meaning in your life then that makes sense - I imagine we will all be doing the same (or be turned into soylent green)

I have one and its awesome for my needs -

• Very small form factor
• Screen is protected from scratches (because it folds away)
• Helps with phone addiction because you can do the simple things without even opening the phone, so you dont spend hours mindlessly scrolling

Looks like this is semifinalists

I love this! Like a blankie

The acousticness thing is not a surprise - people are creating new sounds (and even instruments) all the time.

Music is geared around novelty, and its hard to make an acoustic guitar or piano sound novel after 60 years of pop music

What happened to objective-C ?

these singularity posts are all very exciting and futuristic until they threaten us IT workers

Smartphones fit into your life (in your pocket)

You are expected to fit your life into VR (your head in thier headset)

I love VR, but I think that is the difference
