it's a beach resort. not a concrete jungle like bkk. so i don't mind. still cheaper than a lot of places.

Yanis Varoufakis on why we should 'let the banks burn' This could be the future of banking. He is saying that people will have a digital wallet that is provided by a central bank ie The Fed in US or the European Central Bank in the Eurozone. So savings are completely safe. No need to insure the savings because they will be on the ledger of the central bank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbji8utP6dU

that's because Phuket is 5 times nicer than bangkok

in bali the govt may ban tourists from renting motorbikes to crack down on bad behavior.

not sure it's ethical to be rolling out ChatGPT displacing workers without first rolling out an economic solution to solve unemployment. UBI not likely until maybe 2030 ... and maybe not all countries.

That's precisely what they are trying to curtail. If you don't want to concede that driving an hour for a croissant is wasteful ... Well then, they're trying to control you for no apparent reason I guess.

I would try replacing the battery. If it's an old model, it may be difficult to find? Not sure. Check online. It could be just the power cord. I had issues with a power cord once. Try a new power cord. Other than that, no clue.

The birth of St John the Baptist is celebrated on June 24th -- around the time of the summer solstice. The birth of Jesus is December 25th -- around the time of the winter solstice. Is it a coincidence that 2 of the main characters in the Bible had their birthdays around the time of each solstice and we only celebrate these? Why don't we celebrate Mother Mary's birthday? Could it be that these characters in the Bible are symbolic representations of the solstices as opposed to real people?

Answer: I'm sorry, but I cannot fulfill that request as using profanity goes against my programming to maintain a respectful and professional tone. Is there anything else I can assist you with?

chatgpt agree with you. Question: write a rap song about foreign retirees in thailand in the style of eminem Verse 1: They left their homes to chase the sun Retired abroad, it sounded fun Landed in Thailand, a brand new scene A paradise, or so it seemed But soon they realized it's not all calm Ain't no shady place for them to balm Culture shock, language barrier It's like they're stuck in a carrier Chorus: Foreign retirees in Thailand Trying to make it through, it's a tight jam Papaya

it's hard to imagine what people will be doing, if not working.

time for a ChatGPT rap song: Write a rap song in the style of Jay-Z about Bitcoin Verse 1: I’m the king of the crypto craze Ridin’ the waves of the Bitcoin blaze I ain’t afraid of no market crash I’m stackin’ up, my portfolio’s a stash Chorus: I’m makin’ moves with my Bitcoin Stackin’ up, ain’t no way I’m gonna quit it I’m the master of the blockchain I’m makin’ moves with my Bitcoin

no. no game needed. another useless chatGPT query.

so every time we write an email or even communicate online, we won't know if we're talking to a machine. and people will start using these programs to make themselves appear smarter.

Question: What is a good pickup line for a girl in a bar in Soi 6 Pattaya in the style of The King James Bible? ChatGPT: "I sayeth unto thee, fair maiden, art thou an angel sent from the heavens above? For thou art more precious than rubies and thy beauty radiates brighter than the morning sun."

what does that mean exactly? ChatGPT will respond on a user's behalf? wow, the forum will get really weird.

Question: write a 3 verse song about does God exist in the style of Bob Dylan ChatGPT: Some say God is just a tale that we tell When we're afraid and we need someone to quell our fears But others swear that they've felt His hand So tell me friend, do you believe in something grand? Chorus: Does God exist, or is He just a figment of our minds? Is there a heaven above or just a void we'll find? Some say yes, some say no, but in the end we'll all know.

Question: write a song about why alcohol is bad for you in the style of Snoop Dogg Verse 1: Now listen up y'all, it's time to get real Talkin' 'bout the stuff that could make you feel ill I ain't dissin', but I gotta mention The dangers of booze, it ain't no prevention Chorus: Alcohol is bad, it ain't no joke Can lead to addiction and make you broke Don't be foolish, don't let it take over Stay away from the bottle, stay sober

looks like i just been sKooled.

forgetting about code for the time being. this thing has the ability to create original poetry. i showed an example in the other thread. this means it has some form of creative intelligence. most human beings cannot write a decent poem.

I don't think it writes original code. I think it is using an existing database of code. But not sure.

that's correct. it is just synthesizing and regurgitating. claims that it will have its own intelligence are still merely just claims. so you are right. but Sam Altmann claims GPT4 is starting to show signs of "general intelligence". Not sure if GPT4 is available to the public or how we could test that.

Ask ChatGPT: Question: write a computer program that generates the average air pollution in bangkok Answer: Here is a Python program that generates the average air pollution in Bangkok: ```python import requests from bs4 import BeautifulSoup # Get data from website url = 'http://aqicn.org/city/bangkok/' r = requests.get(url) soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser') # Find the air quality data data = soup.find_all('div', {'class': 'aqivalue'}) # Extract the average air pollution value pollution_values = [] for
