The "software is never finished" paradigm has been carried into the hardware world, but consumer expectations haven't changed.

I love a good prototype, but promising that it will "maybe work eventually" is something that a SaaS might get away with, but a gadget can't.

Spot-on.

Maybe the easiest way to find out if gpt2-chatbot is by @OpenAI is to just ask it

I’m gonna give 10 random people that repost this and follow me $25,000 for fun (the $250,000 my X video made)

I’ll pick the winners in 72 hours

@SquarespaceHelp It doesn't seem like it when going to the contact page and no option in the dropdown seems obviously related. Then, no urgency on a solution. I first contacted support over 4 hours ago.

[Erik Florida @eflorida]

So over @SquarespaceHelp right now. Found out hours ago account was #hacked, 20+ domains purchased, new admin account setup. Still, no help. Took forever to get to actual chat, then they can't help, say only email, then don't respond to email. #CustomerServiceFail

If humanity gets enslaved by something as stupid as GPT-4 (or even 5) then we had it coming

@Slm1110_ @runningman12001 @JasonFitz1 The very fact that slowing down even a little allows you to run 23 more miles suggests just how grueling a 5k is. You're a different type of human if you are in pain throughout the first ten miles of a marathon, but can hold that pace for 16 more.

[Erik Florida @eflorida]

@jowyang Thanks for sharing! Good luck with your presentation!

[Erik Florida @eflorida]

@JasonFitz1 @runningman12001 Yea, I guess I prefer the slow burn.

[Erik Florida @eflorida]

@runningman12001 @JasonFitz1 Well it doesn't seem like any race would be a walk in the park if you push yourself. I guess my comparison is between being so close to the edge in a 5k, where in a marathon you can't be that close to the edge most of the race or you fail.

The best way to learn about AI is to build real projects with it.

When you build, you learn what’s valuable and what’s not.

With no-code tools like Bubble, you can build a real working AI app (like a chatbot or image generation app).

"Unsupervised," stunning real-time art using #AI developed by @refikanadol on display at MoMA in SF.

The artwork dynamically shifts based on sound light, weather and more. Some elements are on #blockchain.

@heyrobinai We're trying to make it an even more capable employee with better organization, search, and projects coming soon. Barely beta launched, but would love your feedback! https://t.co/56fe1Kr6vt

[Erik Florida @eflorida]

🎲Chat GPT vs Perplexity : A new Player is emerging

Here are my 5 observations after 15 days of continuous usage of both the tools.

1. Functionality
🧷Chat GPT, as we all know is an LLM Model.
- Can generate human like texts
- Hold conversations, answer questions
- The more specific your prompt is, the better responses you'll receive.

📌 Perplexity is LLM chatbot trained on Google's API
- More like a search engine, where you can discover anything
- One will always find attached sources for data/news validation

2. Accuracy -
🧷 Chat GPT is better at accuracy
📌 However, I found out that @perplexity_ai is better at citing sources

3. Pricing -
If you want more out of Chat GPT and get greater results, you can upgrade to Chat GPT Plus from ChaGPT(FREE) for $20 per month, which is not expensive at all when you consider the return on investment.

Perplexity is also works on Freemium model, the pro version costs $20/month and has access to ChatGPT 4

4. Creative answers
Chat GPT is better at creating texts in different formats, but Perplexity is amazing at answering questions in a comprehensive & informative way. The attached sources in Perplexity is hands down the best part you will see, while using this search Engine.

5. Special Feature Highlight:
Chat GPT: Plugins
We all know that Plugins have destroyed several billion dollar industries, but for the user paying the $20/month, this is the best return on investment (ROI) ever.

Perplexity AI : Copilot
Powered by ChatGPT 4, copilot is your personal AI search assistant.
It's an interactive AI search companion who can respond with clarifying questions, run multiple searches, and summarize the results for the user.

My take:
Chat GPT - I have been using this LLM model since Dec - Jan & this is a super tool for any kind of query.

Perplexity - Once you start using @perplexity_ai you will never look back for anything. It is a modern search engine everyone was looking for.

What's your opinion? Have you started using Perplexity?

There have been a lot of big names who have finished Western States over the years. And these eight elite ultrarunners have never run it as fast as one woman ran it yesterday.

Go Courtney.
