On: Ask HN: How do we know ChatGPT is not a scam?

[cahoot_bird]

It's definitely not a bunch of humans masquerading as an AI. The response rate and length is too fast for some unique questions I've asked it.

Like try asking three random movie characters to roleplay a meeting, or think of some unique question. Occasionally it's slow, but it has given paragraphs of answers to unique questions in mere seconds, fast enough that a human couldn't produce.

I also don't really see a good motive for such deception.

In my queries ChatGPT has trouble with Pig Latin. Maybe further queries could teach it, but by default it seems a little off.

[abecedarius → cahoot_bird]

Likely the byte-pair encoding at fault. It doesn't see the letters.

Not laid off, but webdev I've been applying about a year. About the past 3-4 months have been harder to land interviews than early on, even if I write sample code in company's stack/language and contact them. Have an online portfolio and contract work experience.

On: Lowest “Who is hiring?” Post Count in 30 Months

[cahoot_bird]

On past who is hiring threads I seen posts throughout the month, but in September it seems it only lasted about the first week before new posts stopped.

Perhaps the posts were restricted to a certain time frame, or coincidence?

[cahoot_bird]

The closest I've seen to original flash animation development interface is wick editor https://www.wickeditor.com but it doesn't seem to have a lot of support or be well known. It's probably better for targeting games and animation.

The success of such an idea would depend a lot on location. It makes me think of the old "listener booths" for music that are antiquated now.

Maybe do a cost benefit analysis or try to estimate traffic, just leasing it out might earn more.

Was going through the who is hiring thread then noticed it was down, took a nap than got supper

This is interesting -- I generally think of memory bugs being harder to exploit because of memory protections (stack canaries, ASLR, etc) and code execution being the goal. A quick read of this article it seems from the nature of crypto it was enough for reward to just crash the network (denial of service).
