There a loads of cars with automatic transmission in Europe - especially the newer, medium to premium level cars. But it definitely isn‘t as prevalent as in the US.

It is no problem at all to drink coffee or even eat while driving a manual car, so no idea where this comes from ;)

That‘s just silly - I drive my (manually shifted) car basically solely in the highest gear in non-city traffic and have the same effect. Nothing to do with automatic, but with powerful cars.
Not only no jail, but the fine is laughable as well …

Less career opportunities need not be bad if they are better payed and the companies are more accommodating.
Well, get better data protection. Cash is a pain in the ass …

Yeah, might be worried about open, crowd sourced approaches like Open Assistant (https://open-assistant.io/).
Re:Replacing a SQL analyst with 26 recursive GPT prompts on Thursday January 26, 2023 @03:52AM (#34529317)
> Playing around with GPT at this level you get the feeling that “recursive GPT” is very close to AGI. You could even ask GPT to reinforcement learn itself, adding new prompts based on fixes to previous questions. Of course, who knows what will happen to all this when GPT-4 drops.

Leaning out of the window way too much here. This has nothing to do with AGI, which would require an intrinsic understanding of not only SQL, but over, well, everything, not just a well-defined and easily checkable field like SQL.

Regarding GPT-4 - OpenAI‘s CEO Sam Altman stated that the expectations regarding GPT-4 are way over-hyped. People on the Internet talk as if AGI is coming in the guise of GPT-4, but it‘s „just“ going to be an incrementally better evolution of GPT-3.5.

Mind, I‘m in no way saying that LLM‘s aren’t exciting - they are to me - or that they will not change the world, but leave your horses in the stable.

Well, just open a new GPU Colab and create a cell mit „!pip install imaginairy“ and you should be good to go …
Funny they didn’t include OpenAI in the lawsuit …
So, what you are saying is that it is illegal to paint in the style of another artist? I‘m no lawyer, but I‘m pretty sure that is completely legss as long as you don’t claim your paintings ARE from the other artist.
Funny thing here is that in a blind test where the subject doesn‘t know where the result comes from, more than half like the Bing results better. So this seems to be mostly expectation …
Same for German

The left in the US corresponds in many aspects to political middle ground in many parts of Europe. Bernie Sanders‘ views wouldn‘t be particularly left-wing in my country …

Problem here is that morals are not absolute. The moral framework we use in the west isn‘t the same that is used, for instance, in China. It isn‘t even exactly the same between states in the US or countries within the EU. Or political groups within any of that.

So, which one are you supposed to be using? Or is the only approach left to use the lowest common denominator? This probably would burn down to „you shall not kill other humans“ and not even that is certain.

That‘s a team I‘d never want to work in …
Sure, but don‘t expect anyone else having the same problem and as such being prepared to pay for it.
Why do you think that there isn’t any distinction between /w/ and /v/ in German? That’s simply not true …
True, but that’s where type hints come in - this way you get best of both worlds.

I doubt that it is a goal to make it easier for foreign intel agencies to get this data. But I also strongly doubt that they are capable of preventing it ...
