Catchy name. He should also make another social media company called Truth Social. Oh wait..

I feel like this cost is not as big as some say.
Surely it takes time to collect your thoughts after conversation, but in my experience that is like 1-5 minutes. It is usually worth it.
I really think there should be more communication at work, not less.
Depends on person to person. For me it's on the order of ~20-30 minutes.
Terrible idea. Any form of biometrics are effectively passwords that can not be changed/rotated. If the data is compromised/leaked even once, it's useless.
Edit: That said, one of the other commented this: "Eyeballs are usernames not passwords". I think that's ok-ish...
I switched in the other direction (Mac to Linux).
I grew up with Windows PC's + laptops and Mac's keyboard and general way of doing things was just always really unintuitive (maybe infuriating?) for me.
I also didn't like Mac's prescriptive attitude toward me as a user. It's MY machine. I bought it, it belongs to ME. I should be able to do whatever I want to the deepest parts of the configs if I feel inclined to do so. (Like "right to repair" I would like something similar to "right to full control of my own hardware")
Last night, I used GPT-4 to help me design a stereo matrix mixer circuit.
First, I used it to help me make sense of the datasheet for a crosspoint matrix IC, and when "we" determined that the IC I was planning to use didn't support some of the functions that were critical to my design goals, it suggested a number of alternative ICs which might work, along with listing potential tradeoffs that might impact my design.
In the process of doing this, I had it make suggestions on how I could use various combinations of resistors and capacitors to buffer (clean up noise) that might impact my signal. At one point, it generated a schematic so that I could see what it was talking about, and it was correct.
At one point, it imagined some functionality on an IC that does not exist, and when I asked it "on a scale of 1 to 11, how confident are you that the AD75019 supports EVR?" (essentially, variable resistance across all 256 crosspoints) and it went back to the datasheet to correct itself, saying "on a scale of 1 to 11, I am 100% confident that it does not support EVR", which is about as sassy as you can get while still being obsequiously polite.
During the entire conversation, it not only suggested that I verify our conclusions with a qualified EE, but kept recommending that I check out existing commercial products. Not because it didn't understand I was building a device, but because it kept telling me that purchasing an existing product would be less painful than the time, expense and difficulty of building my own.
I believe that it was (strongly) implying that my time is valuable and that I should stop while I'm ahead. I ended up ordering an Erica Synths Matrix Mixer today, though I still might build my dream device. I call that productive.
I think I once got it to get out of "buy" mode by lying to it and telling it I'm in a sanctioned country. Maybe it's a trick that could work for you :)
Isn't that a good thing though? I.e. promote the production of more training material for the immune system for longer?
(Please correct me in the thread if my understanding is incorrect)

Personally, I'm getting very fatigued by ChatGPT. Now I basically understand how it works (string words together with some randomness consistent with an existing body of work), everything else flowing from that is just tiring. Yes, it's going to get facts wrong, yes it's going to sound sentient, yes it's going to be subject to manipulation by users. (and btw, of course it's going to sound sentient, it's trained on a dataset that includes a shit load of scifi fiction about robots becoming sentient) It's very uninteresting to me at this point, I wonder as people start to understand what ChatGPT does there's going to be a backlash, where it gets entirely written off. In much the same way that by 2020 alot of people would hear the word "cyrpto" or "web3" and just shut down, I suspect that will happen with ChatGPT too.
When you really start to prod this and think "Ok, this tool by design is going to produce highly plausible but completely untrue information" do we really think the sensible next step is "Better integrate this very tightly into our primarily tool for finding out accurate information"? Because that appears to be the current plan.
In my view, underestimating the platform's capabilities may lead one to assume its imminent shutdown. For instance, I find the platform particularly useful for generating succinct bullet-point summaries of articles, enabling me to consume content in 1 minute instead of, say, 15 minutes.

Because of "Agile" planning practices. Get things barely working (MVP) then move onto the next project to make sure your manager's manager stays happy.
Y Combinator is named after a computer science concept - the "combinator," and more specifically, the "Y combinator" function. Paul Graham and Robert Morris (co-founders of the Y combinator company), both computer scientists themselves, likely chose the name as a nod to their background and the company's focus on technology startups. The Y combinator function is a higher-order function used in functional programming languages that allows for the creation of anonymous functions, which can be useful for creating new functions from existing ones. This aligns with the company's mission of helping startups to iterate quickly and efficiently.
