From a prospective employer’s perspective: Is the candidate going to respect the NDA you’re planning to ask them to sign?

Similar to asking the candidate what they dislike about their previous boss. Their response may indicate how they’ll talk about you someday.

As someone with a kid I feel bad too, but in response to your point, if your kid weren’t developmentally aged to understand what was happening here, would explaining a pet death be so much easier to handle in comparison? I’ve had to explain to a toddler in active crisis that his toys have run out of batteries, went missing, and/or otherwise stopped working… It’s never fun, but putting the kind of existential crisis of owning hardware that is dependent on cloud based services onto your kid seems either sufficiently advanced or totally unnecessary.

Did I miss when OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as a truthful resource?

If we’re moving past the marketing questions/concerns, I’m not sure I agree.

For me, for now, ChatGPT remains a tool/resource, like: Google, Wikipedia, Photoshop, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Tesla FSD, (e.g. for the record despite mentioning FSD, I don’t think anyone should ever take a nap while operating a vehicle with any currently available technology).

Did I miss when OpenAI marketed ChatGPT as a truthful resource for legal matters?

Or is this not just an appropriate story that deserves retelling to warn potential users about how not to misappropriate this technology?

At the end of the day, for an attorney, a legal officer of the court, to have done this is absolutely not the technology’s, nor marketing’s, fault.

I actually agree more with this comment more than after my initial read. You suggest some valid concerns about innovation that regulation could address.

I guess the part I’m unsure about is the assertion about the dissimilarity to Photoshop, or if the marketing is the issue at hand. (E.g. did Adobe do a more appropriate job marketing with respect to conveying that their software is designed for the editing, but not doctoring, or falsifying facts?)

That the industry is creating new $15/hr jobs isn’t the most interesting part of this…

> Jatin Kumar, a 22-year-old in Austin, Texas, said he’s been doing AI work on contract for a year since he graduated college with a degree in computer science, and he said it gives him a sneak peak into where generative AI technology is headed in the near-term.

“What it allows you to do is start thinking about ways to use this technology before it hits public markets,” Kumar said. He’s also working on his own tech startup, Bonsai, which is making software to help with hospital billing.

A conversational trainer, Kumar said his main work has been generating prompts: participating in a back-and-forth conversation with chatbot technology that’s part of the long process of training AI systems. The tasks have grown more complex with experience, he said, but they started off very simple.

“Every 45 or 30 minutes, you’d get a new task, generating new prompts,” he said. The prompts might be as simple as, “What is the capital of France?” he said.

Kumar said he worked with about 100 other contractors on tasks to generate training data, correct answers and fine-tune the model by giving feedback on answers.

He said other workers handled “flagged” conversations: reading over examples submitted by ChatGPT users who, for one reason or another, reported the chatbot’s answer back to the company for review. When a flagged conversation comes in, he said, it’s sorted based on the type of error involved and then used in further training of the AI models.

“Initially, it started off as a way for me to help out at OpenAI and learn about existing technologies,” Kumar said. “But now, I can’t see myself stepping away from this role.”

I think they’re referring to the remastering of the original trilogy, long before Disney got involved.

> Bonus if it can just be contacts (yes I know science fiction here).

AR contacts might not be that sci-fi [1]

I don’t know if what I’m linking to is even the best example, but I was pretty sure I’d seen or heard of the tech before and just searched for it…. Very cool if real!

Opinion or fact?

Arguably its helping them— you know… not lose more money than they otherwise could.

Not buying and keeping your currency elsewhere may just be a totally reasonable alternative.

Alternatively, refer to comment archives, or historical records of your choice.

Some, many here, have consciously objected to speculating on crypto valuation.

What about your pocket? That’s not an acceptable alternative?

> If the employer is a good one, they want the contract to be fair, and if the contract is unfair it's probably by accident.

This is an optimistic, and perhaps productive perspective, but often the legal advice suggests writing the template language in the employer’s favor, knowing it may be negotiable.

The advice is good… read agreements before signing, and negotiate reasonable points.

>Lear started designing a private jet in the 1950s. Jet aircraft were new technology, and there were many designs that never made it off the drawing board. That changed when Lear opted to adapt a Swiss ground-attack fighter, the FFA P-16, that had never been built.

From article, “It could also ultrasonically recognize the stairway and doorways to take appropriate action.”

Hah thanks for taking that well…

I know dealing with international meetings is challenging. In a former life I managed trading Korean equities from an office in Cambridge, MA (in addition to US equities— those were long days!!)

But doesn’t the fact that the scheduling itself requires some form of attention/expertise (e.g. is that time in your timezone or mine? Does DST apply this week? Does that change anything?), reveal that we’ve perhaps made this unnecessarily complex?

If you and me or any group were tasked with scheduling a meeting, wouldn’t it at least hypothetically be simpler to offer availability in terms of UTC (assuming nobody cares where you live, or if you’re a plant, or vampire)?

I’m not sure I follow… are you a plant?

Regardless +1 UTC or permanent anything… I believe I can adjust my schedule for my needs more easily than trying to fix everyone else’s.

“Purely speculative” is what makes it more akin to gambling than investing in income generating assets.

Seriously consider it. Big corporate experience can be invaluable, even if it’s not your ultimate end goal. Your whole career lies ahead, and it’s much MUCH easier to move from a big company to a small one than the other way around.

What about alcohol? Should a prescription be required?

For argument’s sake, at least, I don’t consider anything suggested here as definitively “over-the-top”. It may seem (or be) unrealistic in practice (for reasons I don’t know), but the suggestion is far from unconscionable— it may, in fact, be the lowest cost solution to what could cost mega-corps billions in current (and potential future) fines/liabilities. To the extent it sounds like an exaggeration, I think that embodies the point of the comment— there are some (almost unreconcilable) concerns that impact the interplay of corporations and open source development.
