Thoughts on Bill Gates Forbes interview?

I’ve been following Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI for a while now, and I have a very positive outlook for it. I also know Microsoft’s $10 billion investment in OpenAI started a chain reaction of sorts, with Google announcing they are working on their own ChatGPT and Baidu announcing one as well. Bill Gates recently interviewed with Forbes to talk about OpenAI, and I wanted to hear everyone’s thoughts if they read the interview.

 

Only a matter of time before you can't ask it any questions about Jeffrey Epstein lol

In all honesty, the novelty of it for me has turned more into being disturbed after seeing just how blatantly left-biased the application's training data clearly is and recognizing how much easier it's going to make it for people to fake their way to some appearance of expertise. It's a tool with unbelievable potential, both positive and destructive. Another nickel for the Elon was right jar.

Not to mention the last AI MSFT got involved in got turned into a "yahtzee" (read between the lines. It's the other n-word).

I did, wild shit whoever figured that out. I wonder if they end up patching it somehow.

Can you link to where you saw that?  Genuinely interested.

Most of the right wing anger as I've read about it seems focused on the fact that AI doesn't have the same inherent biases that most American conservatives base their political ideology around.  Which is less an indictment of AI than it is of human bigotry.  But as I know little of the underlying data, very possible that it is left leaning, interested in learning more.

And I think it will make it easier to give the appearance of expertise to those without any.  My guess is actual experts on a given subject will be able to recognize AI vs human output, at least for the foreseeable future.  For more generic shit, I'm sure this will replace actual humans pretty quickly..

unrelated but this just reminds me of how amazing convenience stores are in Japan and how sad they are here, although I've yet to check out a Buc-ee's.

In American gas station sushi's defense, perishable goods have a lot less far to travel and can afford to have a shorter shelf-life in Japan vs the US. But I agree, most things in terms of cleanliness and quality are higher in Japan than the US when you look at the lower end of the cost spectrum.

Oh lawd! Buc-ee's is THE GOAT without question. Any road trip involves a required stop at Buc-ee's, whether you need anything or not. Because it's Buc-ee's, fuck you that's why. And don't you dare forget the Beaver Nuggets either.
