I think it is more that art, film and music have largely been replaced with complaining online about various subjects as the major form of entertainment in America.
All music at this point is largely ambient music and Muzak.
The future is obviously a form of custom AI Muzak/Ambient music with a few pop stars for people to focus on.
I am a big fan of more art type music and guess what? No one listens to it. My fav album of 2023 has 6.4k views on youtube. At least a 100 of those are mine. No one listens to this stuff. People watch video critic reviews of more art type music than the actual music itself.
I normally do noisey acoustic stream on consious stuff but I've been too busy for the past two years to get anything out.
This was the first track in a while I've been happy with the lyrics are very real to me and it took a couple hours to learn the workflow and I still haven't went back and fixed edited the ending as well as adding overdubs throughout as well as a real guitar solo.
I can post my youtube for more context but I didn't feel right posting it without someone requesting.
I'm just very interested in new ways to get my art out. And this is more of a transformer of my poetry into real listenable music.
Lol, same. A lot of the stuff I listen to is completely unknown to a “normal” person. And guess what? AI is not replacing those folks for their audiences in the foreseeable future, because they don’t just regurgitate the same chord progression as everyone else
I use to work at a regional bank and I remember being in discussions on how to do this in 2017-2018.
It didn't take a genius to figure out that banking data is quite valuable.
Honestly, I assumed given those meetings that this was already common practice with selling to data brokers.
Those "how to do this" meetings were not technical. "How to do this without causing a PR shitstorm" would have been a working meeting title. I guess it was all shelved until the 2000lb gorilla bank said lets do it. Or it was just being done quietly previously.
With JPM moving on this a bank will not be able to afford to not.
It is straight from Buddhist text that the desire for things that are not easy to get leads to misery.
It isn't a paradox that a culture predicated on the idea that happiness comes from the acquisition of things that are hard to get would find itself producing misery if Buddhist text are correct. That is exactly what they say will happen.
I am a month in right now on tracking every calorie I eat as close as possible in a spreadsheet.
It astounds me what I thought I could eat and think I am still in a calorie deficit. I would even say I had become completely delusional from diet misinformation.
All these gimmicks to cause yourself to restrict calories is so suboptimal to simply counting.
I think counting calories is unpopular though exactly because not counting calories allows for a level of self delusional. You can then mentally be in this super position of at the same time believing to be on a diet without actually restricting calories. Of course you don't lose any weight but you are on a "diet".
Spot on. People need to say what they are actually using the models for and not just "coding".
I mostly use it to make react/javascript front ends to a python/fastapi backend and chatGPT4 is great at that.
I tried to write a piece of music though in the old Csound programming language and it barely even works.
It will be interesting to see how the context plays out because I have noticed that I can often give it extra context that I think will be helpful but end up causing it to go down a wrong path. I might even say my best results have been from the most precise instructions inside the smallest possible context.
I don't completely disagree with you but personally, Claude 3 doesn't seem like a big enough upgrade to get me to switch yet.
I have also personally found that minimizing the context window gives the best results for what I want. It seems like extra context hurts as often as it helps.
As much as I hate to admit it too but there is a small part of me that feels like chatGPT4 is my friend and giving up access to my friend to save $20 a month is unthinkable. That is why Claude needs to be quite a big upgrade to get me to pay for both for a time.
I kind of feel the same way. I have a lot of chats in Chatgpt .. I have also been using it as a sort of diary of all my work . The Chatgpt app with voice is my personal historian!
However once I figure out a way to download all my chats from Chatgpt, I think Claude' 200k context window may entice me to rethink my Chatgpt subscription.
I've only been using GPT via Bing CoPilot... How does the history work in the ChatGPT app? Is it just that old conversations are stored, or are they all part of the context (up to limit)?
