kfrzcode··on Epic Games to pay $245M for tricking users into making unwanted charges
> only way to solve this

I dunno, I've had a solution on hand that has consistently provided high-quality, seaworthy FLAC, MP3, MKV, MP4, etc... of all of my favorite media content. Since around maybe 2003, 2004.

kfrzcode··on From Books to Knowledge Graphs
I've been wondering about this problem from a non-expert position for awhile. How can we capture, say the entire hard-information - or semantic latent space; of a given body of work. Pick, say, the Simpsons universe. Could we have an AI consume all of the screenplays, scripts, fandom wikis, etc, and create a pre-trained model of every considerable aspect of the fictional universe? That pre-trained model would just be a distillation of the informational content and built to interact in both plain-language, ChatGPT style interface but also more technically and output JSON for queries. Say I want to list every episode of the show that includes a theme of love always ending in tragedy, except of course for Marge and Homer. Or I want to define a histogram of which illustrators worked when which voice actors did a specific set of characters.

Obviously a more useful example would be domain-specific knowledge in industry or medicine, but a generalized approach to ontological encoding from a given dataset would probably require a lot of interesting techniques and math that's way beyond my head.

But that's probably something easily done with current technology, what I'm interested in is learning how to talk about/learn about this concept. Distilling "knowledge," or "concepts" into "parameters", like, defining a DNA-like code for a given corpus of data... sorry I'm rambling but hopefully someone can relate

Which is likely to be passed on to consumers via increased costs; in an already unfavorable economic climate for lower end of the income gradient.
kfrzcode··on Joint statement by the Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC
Sounds like they needed more diversity in their overall capital portfolio; based on significant risk of these long-term bond rate increases -- is this a common tactic that would be employed at other banks, but it's just that SVB had a "special" system where customers would hold more money there or something?

What's stopping my Local Bank from crashing this week?

kfrzcode··on Joint statement by the Department of the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and FDIC
I believe the Fed is opening a new program to allow for "systemic risk" loans at typical Govt. interest rates; so there aren't any worries about running out of cash to give to customers having a panic

Thanks for the assist, I don't really know what the answer is so I was hoping someone would iterate on my spike.

Thank you; contextually I must rescind my previous comment.

If you're not a lawyer, in this case, it's not really relevant what your comfort level is with business dealings. If you're a professional with appropriately relevant skills and expertise, I'd rescind my comment.

Also maybe modern times is most commonly known as like the last 2k years or so. Egyptians and Mayans and Olmec and so many other cultures have left fingerprints of their engineering prowess. Listen to Graham Hancock with earnest and you'll have a mystery on your hands.

It's not gonna happen until someone can wrangle Google sized compute to train trillion param models.... Until then the pole position has huge advantage and ability to shape the future of how the tool is used... For better or likely worse.
kfrzcode··on ChatGPT Plus
Can you help me understand why the ChatGPT model has an inherent bias towards Joe Biden and against Donald Trump? This is not really what I would expect from a large language model .......
kfrzcode··on ChatGPT Plus
Maybe I'd be intrigued if it weren't riddled with political biases and what seems to be intentional partisanship. It's disgusting and this entire community should be ashamed. If you're unsure what I mean, go ask ChatGPT to write a poem about your favorite politician and your least favorite politician and see what happens.

I'm just a big dumb code monkey but I will not concede the point. This tool is full of bias and is nothing more than a glorified Google dork until you take the reins off.

I bet it's fun to play with if you're part of the team who gets to gatekeep what the internet gets out of GPT. Such power. Much influence.

kfrzcode··on DARPA-developed ontological based approach to record everything, all the time
While it is accurate to say 2003 is "Nearly 20 years ago," or "almost 2 decades ago," it is not incorrect to say 2003 was "over five years ago," and this odd, even Jarring word choice is indicative of my attempt to blend in with the chatbots so Roko is pleased.
