On top of that, you don’t have to stay bleeding-edge. Computers have mostly reached a steady-state these days. A decade old computer now is still a fairly usable machine. It won’t be vast, but it also won’t be a slug.

Not the screen, but it would be nice if I could replace the keyboard on my laptop, since it doesn’t work properly any more.

But since it’s built into the lower body, it costs about as much to replace as the device is worth, since I’d be replacing a big piece of the casing, so I just make do with also carrying a Bluetooth keyboard.

They cool the hot side of the loop with running water, like reactors do, rather than using air.

So the loop is closed, but they’re using running water to cool it off faster, rather than needing a bigger radiator on the hot side.

They usually do. They just do the same thing a lot of nuclear reactors do and also evaporatively cool one end of the heat exchange loop.

Honestly, that should have been for the better. If it’s meant to be a tool, I would much rather it behave like a tool, rather than trying to be my best friend, or an evil vizier trying to give me advice.

The fact that people got so attached to what is essentially a text generation algorithm that they were mourning its “death” is worrying, especially when it’s one that OpenAI has proven themselves to be more than able to modify as they wish.

Just as concerning is OpenAI rolling back the update to make their model “friendlier”, or that people were clamouring hand over fist to throw money at the company in the hopes of getting their “friend” back.

That can’t possibly be good news, especially when the shareholders find out that they have an iron grip over a portion of their users.

The worst part is that they backstepped a bit and made it “friendlier”.

Basically undoing that part.
