I was part of the presale. I own one and am using it daily.

Invested in it because of the emerging opportunities from crypto and ZKPs.

That mix is fire.

Agreed. It appears then they were averaging up, and now they are averaging down.

I see ChatGPT more akin to Wikipedia and Google than a calculator. We don't consider Wikipedia or Google as much of a tool as they are a knowledge reservoir of truthiness.

Have you used it? It can generate code. It can correct grammar. It can create Haikus (poorly). It can give you ideas. It is NOT just a knowledge base.

It's absolutely a knowledge base. The "training data" is its raw database which is then preprocessed to speed up the query engine. Then it does some additional processing to return amalgamated results from that database when presented with a query, which for some reason they call a "prompt." It's clever, but when you view the training data as part of the program source code, which it absolutely is, the information entropy of its output is miniscule.

Google can generate code.

- Google: How do I ... - visit stack overflow - copy/paste - code generated.

There's more steps, but how is this different? Chat GPT though will go the extra mile and actually EXPLAIN what each bit does usually. It's not always accurate but neither is stackoverflow.

It’s different in that the text that’s displayed in a chatgpt response never existed anywhere before you asked the question.

That’s what « generating » means, in that context.

What is a "knowledge reservoir of truthiness"?

The only knowledge this system knows is whatever it can scrape and regurgitate that appears truthful. A whole bunch of positively true, but also many cases of falsely positive.

This system can’t prove its own work (at least not yet) before publishing the results. It just publishes, which is similar to Wikipedia and Google.

The school administration.

Basically Robert Patrick’s T-1000 from Terminator 2, but instead of hunting humans it will optimize for rats.

The optimal way to get rid of the rats is to eliminate the humans first so the rats do not have as much available food.

Disney doesn’t have as great of pricing power in its much larger relevant market.

Plus, United States v. Paramount in 1948 prevents a lot of the vertical integration that could be achieved in their former markets.

The only other place they can go is the even more crowded market that is online.

As part of a 2019 review of its ongoing decrees, the Department of Justice issued a two-year sunsetting notice for the Paramount Decree in August 2020, believing the antitrust restriction was no longer necessary as the old model could never be recreated in contemporary settings. [1]

Both products are lotteries with premiums.

They are categorically different. The issuer of an insurance policy does not bear risk upfront. Insurance policies are not collateralized.

Ethereum name service (ENS), which ties a wallet to a human readable domain name.

What does the adoption look like and what are its perspectives for future adoption? It seems to me that it's as popular as Handshake right now, which is not popular at all.

ENS is much more broadly adopted than Handshake. Pretty much the entire Ethereum ecosystem has standardized on it.

a couple hundred thousand people use it

That tells us that ENS, Handshake, etc are the only 'NFT' project(s) so far that has a use case for web3. Handshake is also part of this as well and the CEO of Namecheap is somewhat convinced on that.

Only a few useful projects will survive.

have you heard of POAP?

non-financial & fun

The system isn’t immune to spam attacks.

Posting costs a variable amount of shitcoin (just like transaction fees on a blockchain).

Full tweet: "These falcons aren't traveling to any specific destination. There is no aviary they call home. Instead, each bird is backing hundreds of fractional interests held by investors. There's no way to split up a bird, so they remain in transit, virtualized. The plane never lands. Ever."
