DRM is already applied for certain content in websites such as Netflix, etc, and it makes it waaaay harder to bypass.

For example, Netflix (and the others) use DRM to block Linux computers from higher quality content. Why? I guess "hackers" and "think of the children". Truth is... content is already pirated from the second it gets released on any of these platforms... so they are not really fixing anything... I guess they really want you to use a tracking OS.

Imagine this kind of system but for an entire website. Big companies imposing their devices and software as the only way to access a website... which is really just HTML and Javascript files, entirely platform agnostic... but who cares? They are struggling for money so they are squeezing every little possibility.

I mean, I'd love to get paid that amount of money for a few months, do barely nothing, blame my inferiors and retire with investments and a small restaurant in a friendly town.

Yes, it's inefficient... and OpenAI and Google are losing exactly because of that.

There's open source models already out there that are rivaling ChatGPT and that you can train on your 10 year-old laptop in a day.

And this is just the beggining.

Also... maybe we should check how many words of exposure a kid gets throughout their life to get to the point to develop arguments such as ChatGPT's... because the thing is that... ChatGPT does know way more about many things than any human being will ever do. Like, easily thousands of times more.

In my experience, HA is simply a fuck-you to all those companies that want you to use their closed, cloud-based solution.

It's not perfect, but it's basically all we got, unless you want the crappier experience of being forced to buy only one brand of things and being forced to use really, really simple automations.

Credit card signup? Since when?

I am not saying it works exactly like humans inside of the black box. I just say it works. It learns and then creates thoughts. And it works.

You talk about how human cognition is more complex and squishy, but nobody really knows how it truly works inside.

All I see is the same kind of blackbox. A kid trying many, many times to stand up, or to say "papa", until it somehow works, and now the pathway is setup in the brain.

Obviously ChatGPT is just dealing with text. But does it make it NOT intelligent? I think it makes it very text-intelligent. Just add together all the AI pieces we are building and you got yourself a general AI that will do anything we do.

Yeah, maybe it does not work like our brain. But is a human brain structure the only possible structure for intelligence? I don't think so.

You have not realised yet that... yes, it has all the right to be called AI. They are doing the same thing we do. Learn and then create thoughts based on those learnings.

I even asked them to make up words that are not related to any language, and they create them, entirely new, never-used words, that are not even composites of others. These are creative machines. They might fail at answering some questions, but that is partially why we call it Artificial Intelligence. It's not saying that it is a machine of truth. Just a machine that "learns" and "knows". Sometimes correctly, sometimes wrong. Just like us.

Yeah, well, yes, you are giving away that information in any case, it's not like you weren't doing that before.

If you like Duolingo's style, which I honestly do (I mix it with podcasts on the road), then there's probably no close enough alternative.

If you want an open source version because of the ads, just go to your phone settings and set a "private DNS" with dns.adguard.com. There are other options too, but I'll leave them for you to discover. This will filter out most ads on many apps and websites, such as Duolingo.

But Hot is broken in Lemmy, it shows old stuff like it's hot. The system is broken, but I think there is a PR on the way.

Oh! I do remember that I probably visited some instance at some point. I did use libreddit far more, for some reason.
