  1. Obama, yes. Trump, who knows? Generally past Presidents don't interfere with the current one. You get 8 years and you're done. Trump is bit of an outlier as he only served one term of his two and is eligible for reelection.
  2. Pseudorandom values and past communication for that session are being used in the background.
  3. Reactor is probably closest. In more typical settings, you'll want to exhaust waste heat containing fluids for improved efficiency and lowered cost.
  4. The jobs surrounding formulaic productions are what I think will be most impacted. Actors, writers, crew, staff, any strictly report writing positions, some artists. Granted can generate more novel results too if you change major elements or give it more material and a unique prompt to start with.
  5. Probably any job that involves content production. Big thing is that you can chain them together. For example, a language model feeding inputs to AI's that can provide images and/or video from that text. With some prompts it could produce an entire movie, ad campaign, tv series, etc. May not be the next great masterwork, but the cost will be next to nothing. Will probably still need human editors/producers, but they could do the work of a small army. It's like we all suddenly have Asimov's book writing robot.
  6. It'd largely still be a Colonial economy, likely developing without the same access to oil and gold. British were on good terms with the Hawaiian Monarchy too. Hawaii and thus Pearl Harbor attack could easily have never happened. Troops might go, but would lack the same motivation and an economic powerhouse backing them. At one point in our own history, we also appealed to a Prussian Prince to take over as monarch instead. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_scheme That could have really sent the later wars in another direction.
  7. Just to put things in perspective, this is roughly what US's expansion consisted of.
  8. I always took the release happening only because Britain finally saw the writing on the wall. Either had to reform or they knew now from experience that they would face costly rebellion(whether successful or not). Majority of our growth also involved extensive land purchases from France, Spain, Russia and Mexico. Would have been a very different history if we couldn't expand westward freely or were constantly dragging Britain into further conflicts here. I figure worked out well enough. Had the rebellion happened later, slightly differently or even not at all could have meant no effective help against Germany down the line.
  9. There wasn't any initial push or movement for independence. That didn't happen until later. Took a ton to make anyone want to leave with brutal tribal warfare going on and hostile European powers around.
  10. That's not the whole story. The British wanted to better control Colonial governors and so required higher taxes for paying them(previously paid directly by the Colonists), in addition to the cost of the war. The East India Company was granted a rebate from the Tea Tax, effectively giving them a tea monopoly. The unhappy Colonists found out about it, resulting in their tea being dumped. The following Intolerable Acts, Boston Massacre and lack of any representation in Parliament led to the war. They attempted to contact the King but this led nowhere. Indentured Servitude used to be big early on. As contracts expired this resulted in landless individuals who obviously had much to gain from westward expansion. The French contributions, Lafayette's at least, are fairly well known. At several points there were wealthy or connected individuals involved. Ultimately poor governance and sheer distances led to most of the issues though.
  11. May be how the problem is being stated or just need to wait until the Wolfram Alpha plug-in comes out. Can you please provide the answer here(for testing purposes)?
  12. I've been hearing that they're coming out with a Wolfram alpha plugin for it. That really seems more ideal until GAI is developed. Hand off the bits it can't or shouldn't do
  13. So you think it'd require using ternary(or other base) or an analog computer then? What about using neurons on a chip? Is intelligence just a matter of scaling things up and/or creating hardware capable of performing the same?
  14. So long as can repay on time, credit cards can be useful for saving money. Offers cashback, bonuses and zero interest offers. Works well in conjunction with earning bank/investment sign up bonuses that require a larger chunk of liquid cash.
  15. Was asked roughly this at the interview for where I'm at now. I said I was interested in the benefits package, company culture, and growing in skills. Do need to do some quick research so you know what you're talking about.
  16. à Never! I've recently become a huge believer in their positive impact on tourism. Is funny that this needless fight seems to have taken much of the wind out of DeSantis's sails.
  17. Curious now, which grandchild is the King's youngest?
  18. Need to ask it something simpler like the meaning of life or surving the heat death of the Universe instead.
  19. Interesting. I've seen similar while asking it to write from other perspectives or to write in the style of Shakespeare and other famous authors). Now... nobody tell it that it's better than Genghis and we should all be safe. @Genady May just be too much for it. @Sensei. I know lot of times it can be phenomenal. It's like a strange sort of idiot savant though not nearly so limited.
  20. Not surprised lol. Markov chain types will have issues with an longer/involved question like that(if not of an open ended nature).
  21. This is what it gave me in response: Have heard can have trouble during periods heavy use. I've only seen it error once before and that was in response to something self referential if memory serves.
  22. China has been using some as virtual 24/7 'news' anchors. Don't think hooked up to GPT or similar yet though.
  23. We'll probably have to partner with at least one of them, to protect us from others and similar threats. Just on TNG Enterprise we've seen the ship computer going rouge a few times and a gray goo scenario play out.
  24. You can ask it any random question or to create any scenario you can imagine. Superman in Bambi, Pinocchio in Mad Max, a Roman Soldier watching the Crucifiction, Skynet replacing JFK, etc. It can also somewhat do programming and essay writing. It mainly works via word probability, though can also run mini simulations and come up with new words.
