I am ALL for reigning in these above the law megacorps. That said, please do not take GPT away from me. It is such a boon to so many aspects of my life, and I don't want to go back to the before times.

You're right. I had an idea to regulate without completely eliminating, but that's obviously crazy talk.

    You make a couple of good points, however you may want to double check your knowledge of Eastern Massachusetts population densities. I also don't think Walmart gives two shits about paltry FCC fines, because forcing you into their wifi where you are required to agree to a ridiculous amount of data sharing, is certainly a lucrative proposition for them.

    Google Search Is Now a Giant Hallucination

    And Bing search is not bad at all. CoPilot is firmly mediocre though

    Testing in Prod. Stay classy, Google.

    “The vast majority of AI Overviews provide high quality information, with links to dig deeper on the web,” said a Google spokesperson in an emailed statement to Gizmodo, noting many of the examples the company has seen have been from uncommon queries.

    This is entirely fair. There is no way that anyone at Google could have anticipated that humans would search for strange things on the internet.

    It's an interesting question. I am inclined to believe that the faster it gets at running those equations, over and over and over, reanalysing is data and responses as it goes, that that ultimately leads to some kind of evolution. You know, Vger style.

    GPT gave me this yesterday:

    To convert 500 KiB/s to a more common unit like megabits per second (Mbps):

    1. Understand the conversion factors:

      • 1 KiB (Kibibyte) = 1024 bytes
      • 1 byte = 8 bits

    2. Calculate the speed in bits per second:

      • 500 KiB/s = 500 * 1024 bytes/s = 512000 bytes/s
      • 512000 bytes/s * 8 bits/byte = 4096000 bits/s

    3. Convert bits per second to megabits per second:

      • 1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits/s (for simplicity, although technically 1 Mbps = 1,048,576 bits/s, the simpler metric is usually used for network speeds)
      • 4096000 bits/s / 1,000,000 = 4.096 Mbps

    So, 500 KiB/s is approximately 4.1 Mbps.

    I was like, I just wanted the answer!

    I've asked moderately technical questions and was confidently given wrong information. That said, it's right far more often than copilot. I haven't used Google for quite some time
