ChatGPT In Trouble: OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024, AI bot costs company $700,000 every day

It works if you ask it for small specific components, the bigger the scope of the request, the less likely it will give you anything worthwhile.

So basically you still need to know what you're doing and how to design a script/program anyway, and you're just using chatgpt to figure out the syntax.

It's a bit of time-saver at times but it's not replacing anyone in the immediate future.

Bethesda says most of Starfield's 1000+ planets are dull on purpose because 'when the astronauts went to the moon, there was nothing there' but 'they certainly weren't bored'

Game engine limitations, apparently. Say a thread on exactly this earlier today.

Agree it is much poorer for lacking them. It's immersion breaking being in the far future, zipping around on an interstellar craft, yet being forced to explore slowly on foot. I really can't even use the ship? Cmon.

What websites do you use as an alternative to Amazon?

I tend to use price aggregators more than individual websites because we've reached a point with Internet transactions that you can't really get away with being a dodgy ecommerce website. People can just file paypal issues or complain to their credit card company for help, so just go with the cheapest option and see how it goes most of the time.

The ones I use are pricerunner and pricespy. I'm EU, but I know pricespy has a NZ version, so I assume it's global.

Here there are like 10 self-checkouts per 1 employee and they're just there if the machine gets confused about a weight. It's much better, and faster than waiting in the queue for a manned checkout. I can't imagine wanting to go backward, where's the benefit?
