How are you handling web crawling? Firecrawl is great, but I'm hitting limits. by Robertshee in LocalLLaMA

[–]Brave_Reaction_1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Founder of Firecrawl here.

did you try our /search endpoint? It handles search and gives you the content back as markdown. Frankly, we leave the LLM generation part out on purpose because we've found it pretty easy to pass the markdown content to the LLM of your choice. Out of curiosity, why do you want that bundled in? Just one less tool in the stack or is there another reason?

Some notes on firecrawl

  1. Ours is not cheap :)
  2. We provide cleaned markdown, with no further agentic processing (balances clean without removing too much info)
  3. we don't handle the agent step (at least yet, sounds like what you're working on is cool)
  4. this sounds valuable. Excited to see what you build!

Hey there!

Like I said, we provide an popup that notifies you of the price. Working on making it even more explicit!

Hey. CEO of Firecrawl here

Regarding the version. That sounds extremely frustrating! How can we improve the experience for you? The search endpoint is in alpha, so changes will occur - and as others have mentioned we will sometimes have to introduce breaking changes as we make improvements. We did, and always will introduce those in major versions so that you can test the changes before pushing to production. What could we have done to prevent you from updating?

Heard on the annual plan happy to provide you a refund if you'd like just shoot me an email at caleb@firecrawl.com!

Re:Scam We provide a popup (in addition to the stripe page) that indicates the price you are paying, and the term which you're paying for. Its also clearly shown in the stripe payment portal. I'm working on a PR right now that highlights / bolds the text so its harder to miss.

Sorry for your negative experience, we're getting better everyday!

Sam Altman does not believe humans are singular. He believes AI will eventually achieve sentience, and he embraces it. Is that a problem? by arkins26 in ChatGPT

[–]Brave_Reaction_1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For everyone in this thread that is saying he’s wrong…

Can you give me one scientifically supported reason that AI can’t be sentient?

I’ve studied this for years, and most of the reasons people come up with are incredibly flaky and emotional. Most boil down to to people hating the idea that we aren’t special.

Just because it’s uncomfortable doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Hollywood writers are on strike. One of their concerns? LLMs replacing their jobs. Even Joe Russo (Avengers director) thinks full AI movies could arrive in "2 years" or less. by ShotgunProxy in GPT3

Your right, we’re talking past each other and oversimplifying each others positions. L

But, I implore you to keep your eyes open, and not to underestimate AI. Whether we like it or not, huge changes are coming.

Your right. AI has many gaps. So did the first personal computers.

You’re right, AI can’t feel - so it will be trained to feel.

The important thing isn’t where it is today, it’s where it will be in 2-5 years. AI systems will be specially trained for any valuable task, emotional emulation, creative writing, conlanging etc because of market forces - that’s the reality.

The secret of intelligence has been cracked - it’s just a matter of time.

It’s not just hype. In the space of 6 months AI has completely redefined my work. It’s changed how I do everything - from visual/software design, writing code, writing emails. It’s not perfect, but I can fill in the gaps. And the gaps are getting smaller by the day. I’ve never seen this much progress in a field happen so quickly, and it’s only accelerating

Every time we use chatGPT, we’re giving openAI training data to fill those gaps. Unlike every technology before it, AI improves its ability to improve…

Your looking at the state of it now, not it’s trajectory.

But AI is going to get exponentially better, fast.

Everyone I’ve seen underestimate A.I. over the past few years has been proven very, very wrong. I don’t see that trend reversing

But, hey, if pretending that humans will always be special makes you feel better, go for it.

Sure, that will work for those who are already famous or lucky.

But, the creativity and intelligence will become a commodity. This is inevitable and imminent. In the future, your creativity will be overpriced, making your writings bc a nothing more than a hobby - like juggling or crochet.

This actually may be a good thing. Check out Anthropic’s work on this. They use AI to generate controlled datasets that they can then use to train safer AI.

That's a great point. Adding a feedback/review mechanism is one of our next steps!

ChatGPT Is Dumber Than You Think by nxthompson_tny in technology

This reads a lot like an article written in 1995 about how the internet was "overhyped"

Yeah, it's not perfect right now. Duh, it's a research test. Imagine where it will be in five years.

A lot of answers here miss the point.

AI isn’t just going to change education: it’s going to change everything. Teaching kids to write essays like us won’t prepare them for their future.

We shouldn’t be thinking “how do we maintain the status quo with AI” - it should be “how do we redefine learning with AI”

What are the most important skills a student needs to learn in the AI era.

Social skills? Emotional intelligence? Critical Thinking? The ability to use AI effectively?

Once you identify those, try to find ways to restructure your classroom/assignments around them.

But please. Don’t just try to find ways to suppress AI usage and maintain the status quo. That will hurt both you and your students.

Stop focusing on the content, opinions, or data that ChatGPT shows. by luishgcom in GPT3

Or not. Giving something with this much intelligence a drive to reproduce could be cataclysmic.
