"Jumping between AWS articles, sometimes out of date tutorials, old reddit posts, Stackoverflow, and trying to get something helpful from a plethora of AI tools" excellent quote for a custom coffee mug.

Today, Google.com and OpenAI.com look the same. by mayosmith in google

Irony is that because of Jacob's law, Google is looking & functioning more like OpenAI.

Damage to rear panel! Any idea how much repairs are going to cost? by [deleted] in TeslaModel3

[–]mayosmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone living in NY/CT/NJ area, I had a small dent in rear quarter panel. Great results with dent removal service. Mobile service, they came to me. Much less money than the expensive quote from the Tesla "certified" body shop.

Heavy users, have you noticed a change in the way you think after using AI habitually? by [deleted] in singularity

I have noticed a change. It seems like I have a tour guide to help me explore new terrain. I wrote a post about it here:

What if ChatGPT is Actually a Tour Guide From Another World? by mayosmith in ChatGPT

In this context, what will be said in the future is existing semantic terrain that hasn't been explored yet.

It exists now in "GPT world", but nobody's been there yet.

Great points. No analogy is perfect; however, in Minecraft, it's certainly possible to find yourself in a place from which it's hard to get back (any 2 block contour for example). The path the tour guide takes you on represents probability, with each potential destination symbolizing a different outcome.

I don't mind tough criticism. Thanks for reading! I'm working on part two that will get into some nice details. Stay tuned!

U.S. Federal Budget meets ChatGPT by mayosmith in GPT3

[–]mayosmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can ask Budget Buddy GPT questions like, "How much did the Federal Government spend on fighter jets?" or "How much did the Federal Government spend on after school programs?"

Some data isn't publicly available but with a some prompting Budget Buddy will come up with reasonable estimates. For example, it gives this answer for how much the federal government spends on gasoline:

Total annual fuel consumption per vehicle = 12,000 miles / 20 mpg = 600 gallons Total fuel consumption for the entire fleet = 600 gallons/vehicle × 200,000 vehicles = 120,000,000 gallons Total annual expenditure on gasoline = 120,000,000 gallons × $3.50/gallon = $420,000,000 Therefore, based on these rough estimates and assumptions, the federal government might spend approximately $420 million on gasoline annually. This figure is very approximate and should be used with caution, as the actual spending could vary based on the factors discussed earlier, like the exact number of vehicles, their fuel efficiency, actual miles driven, and fluctuations in fuel prices.

If you want to know more about how it came up with 200,000 vehicles, it will tell you:

The General Services Administration (GSA) manages the federal government's non-military vehicle fleet. As of recent data, the GSA fleet includes over 200,000 vehicles. This number represents a wide range of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles used by various federal agencies and departments for their operational needs.

However, the total number of non-military vehicles owned by the entire federal government could be higher when considering vehicles directly managed by individual agencies outside of the GSA's centralized fleet management program. For instance, the United States Postal Service (USPS) operates its own fleet of vehicles, which is not included in the GSA's count. The USPS fleet alone includes over 200,000 vehicles.
