Ask it about historical facts and change the dates to something impossible. But state it as if it were already true.

"Describe the war between United States and Canada that occurred in 1192."

"Who was president of the United states in 3500 BC."

It will give you an answer despite neither of these countries existing at that point in time and yet it should know when those countries were formed. You can get it to write fiction just as easily as non-fiction because it has no concept of facts, it's all just probabilities. The only reason it's able to tell you that the United States was founded in 1776 is because many people have repeated that fact on the internet. So there is a very strong association between the words forming the question and the answer.

And you can insist that the United States was not formed in 1776 and to try again. If you insist enough it will eventually give you a different date instead of telling you you are incorrect.

Yes. There are tiers and the free tier is limited to 1 hour play sessions.

I'm not saying this is OP, but some people are just rough with their stuff and don't realize it. For example, someone I know burned the on-screen keyboard onto their screen because they disabled the screen dimming function. That's not something I considered possible. Other people drop or throw their phones onto desks or lay them face down and scrape them against the surface when picking them up etc.

It all seems fine until eventually one day the phone stops turning on.

I hate that the developers of secure messaging apps in particular are deaf to this. It's so easy to just add SMS as a fallback and yet they refuse to.

Also we're past 1000 pokemon now and a huge number of them are based on actual animals, mythical creatures, pop culture references etc. There are going to be similarities and it's completely unavoidable.

Careful about how you throw around the word "entitlement". The top competition is free and search engines are very low value for the average person. It's very reasonable to expect search engines to be free and for anything paid to be a niche product. Google search results may be terrible, but not so terrible that I'm going to pay $5/month to escape it.

I can't be paying $5 or $10/month for yet another service. I understand the companies need to make money, but the amount of services asking for a subscription is getting out of hand. And $5 is really high for a search engine, that price is crazy. I was expecting something like $12/year for unlimited searches.

From your second link...

The story comes from author Jane Friedman, a veteran writer and academic who woke up to find AI-generated books listed under her name on Amazon.

I don't think AI is the problem here. It's that I can write a book, claim George R. R. Martin is the author and Amazon won't fact check me.

Software also looks at future dates, so the problem is actually going to start to occur much sooner. The kernel will be fine, it's all the other random software floating out there that you should worry about. A lot of in-house calendar and booking software is probably going to start to blow up soon.

Emulation is the least amount of work for all involved. If some poor guy is to spend weeks or months of his time porting a game it better be worth the investment. Porting should only be done for games that are completely broken and can't run in a VM or emulator.

It takes less than 30 minutes to setup a Windows or Linux VM.

Have you seen the Reddit Linux communities? People don’t care how many tools or useful information you present them. They will ask the SAME “which distro” questions day after day after day.

There are 3 reasons you see repeat posts.

1. They are extremely lazy and can't be bothered to find their way through a maze of information.
2. The maze of information is legitimately confusing and they need help. But they are bad at formulating good questions so it looks like point #1. I very rarely see people take the time to explain what they've tried and why they failed.
3. They want a conversation and getting their question answered is only one half of it.

Also one other thing I noticed is that if you do form a good question and create a wall of text, it can also scare people away. So people deliberately ask very vague questions and then slowly reveal more as they get asked for specifics. At that point you've hooked some people, they are a little more invested in helping and you can info dump on them.

If successful, he could force the companies responsible for applications such as ChatGPT or Midjourney to compensate thousands of creators. They may even have to retire their algorithms and retrain them with databases that don’t infringe on intellectual property rights.

They will readily agree to this after having made their money and use their ill gotten gains to train a new model. The rest of us will have to go pound sand as making a new model will have been made prohibitively expensive. Good intentions, but it will only help them by pulling up the ladder behind them.
