ChatGPT thinks today is March 1. Go ahead and ask it what today’s date is.
openai actually in their platform for billing, etc shows that its actually march 1 as well.

I built a chrome plugin called Revision History [1] that I released about 2.5 weeks ago, so I've been talking to a good number of educators about this recently. I'd say the majority of teachers are terrified of AI, because it means that they have to completely change how they teach with only a few months' notice. It's not easy to change your lesson plans or assignment structures that quickly and it'll take time to see where this all lands.
Some teachers are looking for ways not to adapt, which is why there's a surge of interest in AI detection (which doesn't work well), but the sharpest educators I talk to are cognizant of the fact that there is no going back. So the plan is to incorporate AI into their curriculum and try to make assignments more "AI proof". This means more in-class work (e.g., the "flipped classroom" model [2]). Others are looking for ways to encourage students to use AI on assignments, but to revise and annotate what AI generates for them (this is what I am marketing my plugin for). Either way, it's going to be very rough over the next few years as educators scramble to keep us with a monstrous change that came about practically overnight.

Just wanted to say I had this _exact_ same idea a week ago and was googling around to see if anyone had done this yet. I guess I don't have to build it now haha. Hopefully you can sell this to universities/the right people and make some headway on it!
floydianspiral commented on Ask HN: What are the economics of a streaming based record label? · Posted by u/max_
The content of this is a strange to read so my initial take is it seems like you know nothing about the music industry or record labels but i'll argue in good faith. A simple google answers your per stream questions: https://www.igroovemusic.com/blog/how-much-do-i-get-per-stre... The sad answer is almost no one is making real money off streaming except the .001%
Record labels aren't quite what they used to be now that we have distrokid, tunecore, soundcloud, etc as independent artists can get their music on streaming services themselves. You say you want to be a label, what are you bringing to the table? Do you have any connections in the music industry? These days the only way to make money off a song streaming is if it gets picked up by the big playlists, but guess what? Those are mostly curated by the big labels and you have to have connections to get on them. You can try and get your music on smaller curated lists by blasting out to popular blogs and reading lists as well. Use social media, hope you get lucky on tiktok. Google how to get your music viral as a social media influencer. The real answer here is there is no actual formula but by putting yourself out there on a ton of platforms and hopefully something sticks and it goes viral. At the end of the day is the music has to actually be good (read: something sticky even if its pop drivel) for people to spread it. As a musician and independent producer, this post irks me a little bit as you're basically signaling you want to simply make money from music rather than doing it for the love of the art. If that's not the case I wish you the best.

I am seeing a pattern here and I am starting to believe that Sam Altman is an Accelerationist:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerationism
A lot of his actions, investments and marketing strategy seem to point in that direction.
It's weird how much of that wiki article (and others I just looked up) trends towards right/alt-right extremism as I have never thought of accelerationism as something fascists would take to. My original understanding of it was that ai/tech will become so advanced that it will take over a lot of the production and labor we currently do to feed, build, and supply the world with resources and when that part is automated, humans would hopefully be freed up to do more with their life. This would have to involve restructuring money, society and how governments and resources are allocated. Ties to UBI and how much people get will have to be solved in a different way since we no longer need to do all the menial work. The time span between ai starting to be able to do all of this (maybe starting soon) and when we finally figure out we don't need to work for money is the terrible part where loss of jobs would eventually cause an upheaval and rethinking of how society needs to be structured and the acceleration that people talk about is trying to speed through this bad part as fast as possible to get to the other side as possible. I guess my idea of it is not at all what others seem to think though? I'm pretty pessimistic the "other side" will actually be a utopia but that would be up to the collective to figure out but it seems like a worthwhile concept on the surface.
Used to make music and sfx for videogames, both in house and freelance but moved out of it due to saturation.

Currently doing a lot of live looping and working on an electronic set which I post a lot of random snippets to my instagram, hoping to have a 45 min set to play live once pandemic lifts:

Interestingly, this one doesn't register as text input with vimium so it's completely incompatible. OP's does register.
haha I know clark and this is ironic since he's obsessed with vim!
- TalkToYoutuber[1]: Download the transcripts from a youtube channel and hook it up to gtp4 with RAG to let me "talk" to youtubers. There's a bunch of youtubers who have useful knowledge to share, but no blog or wiki, so semantic searching their video transcripts is the next best thing.
- YoutubeThumbnailSearch[2] - Embded all of a youtube channels thumbnails using CLIP and search them using text. I often need to search through news channels with 10k+ videos, often in foreign languages, so not having to rely on the title or transcript but the video thumbnail helps. This is a much more niche usecase tbf.
I am thinking of making a scaled down version of [1] so I can "talk" to long videos, like conference speeches or university lectures. Should take an hour or two to cook it up since it will reuse most of the code from [1].
