At some point in a not very distant future, you will probably be better off with the robot/AI. As it will have wider knowledge of how to handle fringe cases than a human surgeon.
We are not there yet, but maybe in 10 years or maybe 20?
OK, except the post indicate building a new garage to get rid of the unused car.
Kind of overkill IMO.
Being mindless about anything has pretty similar results, I don’t see the point of this?
Forget you have a car parked in your garage and it will get dirty over time.
Maybe not the best analogy, but if you don’t give a shit, things tend to fall apart.
Are you saying you don’t know when you install additional packages?
How does that work?
This doesn’t make sense to me.
If you install features over time, it’s because you want to use them, if you want to use them, it’s not bloat.
If it’s to try it, and it’s not for you, why not just remove the package again?
I can’t say for others, but my system definitely does not get bloated over time.
On the contrary, I remove preinstalled features I don’t use, when I get tired of seeing them updating.
they are definitely not doing everything they can to increase their conversion rate.
Oh you mean like prompting users to buy extra services all the time?
Yes they are actually doing exactly that.
Of course I do, but ChatGPT still has a free option. And the basis to compare paid subscriptions when there is also a free option stand IMO.
Without a good free option, how would it be only 5% who pay? It’s exactly the same as with Youtube in that regard.
The free option is a form of advertising and allowing people to get to know the service. With Youtube the free option isn’t really free, you pay by allowing advertising.
So by that comparison Youtube is actually the worse free option of the two. And despite that more people pay for ChatGPT.
So your argument that they are not the same, actually makes ChatGPT numbers even more impressive not less.
I absolutely answer the questions, what’s your problem?
What part of the question is not answered in my reply?
Am I not free to ad my opinion too?
Paying gives advantages on youtube, just the same as ChatGPT.
Keep it under running water for ½ an hour, at the level that is the most comfortable.
Don’t make it too cold, but cold enough to ease the burning sensation.
If the pain stops before ½ an hour, you can stop.
That’s a weird editorializing of the headline, for an article that describes wide spread use, and a market of rapidly growing value.
For instance a sentence like these:
This is no longer experimentation; it’s habit formation at an unprecedented scale.
This rapid adoption drives real dollars: In the two and a half years since OpenAI’s ChatGPT introduced the public to generative AI, consumer AI has become a multibillion-dollar market.
One of the most surprising findings? Parents are among the most engaged AI users, turning to AI for everyday help.
Even ChatGPT, with its first-mover advantage, only converts about 5% of its weekly active users into paying subscribers
Considering there’s a pretty strong free option, 5% is not bad.
How many pay for using Youtube? IDK but my guess is that it is way less than 5%.
How many pay for using search? My bet is that we are in the thousandth on that. Yet search is profitable!
OP wanted cheaper phones, but phones ARE getting cheaper with better features too.
Well it’s not ALL progress, personally I’d like the notification LED and the mini jack back.
But overall, I think modern smartphones are amazing.
That would be things like not being able to replace the battery.
Fortunately EU is regulating that shit now.
Because the development of new Smartphone SOC has been very strong, and the new ones really are better in multiple ways. The gains are far from minimal. There are also huge improvements in display, camera and modem technology. For the processing power the improvements are especially big when you look at PPW figures.
Regarding cheap phones, you can get very feature rich very usable smartphones dirt cheap now, that are both way better and way cheaper than just a few years ago. It used to be that cheap phones lacked features like GPS and NFS, even motion sensors could be limited, and they certainly didn’t have bluetooth. Now all that is generally included even in cheap phones, and they have good screens too, even a modest IPS screen which is dirt cheap can be pretty good nowadays. So the progress is for all.
My wife just bought a phone that was cheaper than her old phone, but still it’s is way better.
The reason they all make better phones is due to this thing we call competition. If all brands except one stopped making better phones, the one that continues making them better will take marketshare from everybody else, and have by far the best profits, because the highest profits are with the best phones.
PS: Something that is also new in “standard” phones is that they have way better water protection. It used to be you would have to buy an ugly bulky phone to have that, now you can get standard phones with good IPS ratings, so you don’t have to worry about using them in the rain.
Contrary to you, I find the continued development of better phones amazing. Latest phone I bought was twice what I thought I’d ever spend, and that was because I wanted a good camera. The new Cameras are so freaking great, that if you ever tried taking pictures with an old film camera, that needed the film developed at a shop to get them on paper.
What we have now is way beyond what I ever imagined possible, but really so is just about everything with a modern smartphone.
They really are marvels of technology that some people just take for granted.
But research the SOC, The Camera, GPS or the motion sensors, even a modest motion sensor utilize quantum theory technology, comparing the synchronization of 2 meeting light waves, and the feature cost less than a dollar to make!
This is what the future was supposed to be, unfortunately only smartphones have delivered beyond our dreams, everything else is turning to shit.
State subsidies and a huge protected home market.
But to be fair, they really made the most of it. So absolutely also talent.
The article says Mac sales are declining too.
Apparently most of the decline is people that are simply ditching their PC because they don’t need it anymore.
I think this points to the idea that knowing why an answer is correct is important.
If by knowing you mean understanding, that’s consciousness like General AI or Strong AI, way beyond ordinary AI.
Otherwise of course it knows, in the sense of having learned everything by heart, but not understanding it.
Why is it rong to forgive the one you love ?
Whoever you were unfaithful with probably hadn’t promised your boyfriend anything, so definitely it’s irrational to blame “the other guy”.
If you had agreed to be in a monogamous relationship, you broke that agreement, and for most people that’s a very serious thing.
I do not however buy into your claim that this issue is something men care about more than woman. On the contrary women are generally the ones complaining about potentially unfaithful men, and I’ve heard many women generalize that men are often unfaithful, to a degree one would think that is much more common.
But statistics clearly indicate that since there are more men than women, chances are that on average, women are more frequently unfaithful than men.
The AI will (probably) be familiar with every possible issue that no human will be able to match.
I’m not sure what kind of “completely unexpected” situation is possible can happen, that a normal surgeon would handle better?
But I agree it would have to be a lot smarter than current LLM and self driving for instance. Like a whole other level of smarter. But I think that is where we are heading.
