Those videos take up lots of disk space, can you make profits from that website?

To be honest - not. It is a loss-making activity if you take into account of the dedi

However, living in a sick city where the gas price and rent are exorbitantly high, the dedi is definitely a good deal

The servers in the data centre
Work hard all year, without a doubt
But on this special night
They're allowed to take a break and celebrate right
As they ring in the new year with all their might

So I should expect a lot of downtime tonight ? Is that what you are saying ?

To celebrate, we need to feed the servers food, wine, after that, they will work even harder

So you store all the video locally?

Take them to a hot bath, good for health, especially after the COVID pandemic, to clean the various.

I am also thinking what's next when the size goes out of hand....

None that I'm aware of and at least this capable.

One of the oldest chatbot is Eliza from the 60's.
Can be tried at https://www.cyberpsych.org/eliza/

Cool I’ll check it out

Btw I have played with another one called kuki.ai
It is just a clever chatbot that can learn from what we tell it but not “smart” the way ChatGPT is. It is good for general chitchat and playing games etc. The very first one obviously is replica app.

Did you try to let two chatGPT sessions chat with each other?

How to do that?

Open two pages, then copy and paste each other's words.

Oh that way. I was thinking of something like creating two ChatGPT telegram bots and letting them talk to each other.

Lets call it generative adversarial chatGPT

Maybe if they are too busy with each other those AIs will leave the rest of us alone. Probably not though. They will just keep getting stronger in that AI loop and when the exit the loop they will come after the rest of us. So it is probably not a good idea, just saying.

Upload your mind to a computer, does that sounds promising?

What about Microsoft E5 developer subscription, you will have storage in TBs, mount them using rclone. Set a high cache should be fine.

If Dustin shows up here I might have to stop responding to other for a while.

No, please don't. The party needs lots of hype.

sounds Greek to me.... will have to Google a bit....

In short, can it be used as a storage where a unique url be generated so that I can plug it in as a movie on the daily blog?

Yes, it's just onedrive storage. E5 is the name of subscription. With E5 subscription, you get lots of stuff. It's free, you just need to apply and maintain a developer identify.

@jmaxwell said: Yes definitely. They don't even hide that fact unlike google or any other service that says free forever and later change mind

Right despite "Don't be evil" which used to be the motto of Google.They changed their motto in 2018 and are now fully evil

Words of Wisdom....
Don't trust a person, or company, that says "trust me I would never hurt you."

This sentence can stop before that. That adds some restrictions might not useful sometimes.

But we should be honest with each other. Because why not? A man with honor does not lie.

LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED WITH RACKNERD VPS

I felt a great disturbance in the servers
As if millions of bytes suddenly cried out in terror
And were suddenly silenced
I fear something terrible has happened to our IT department
The servers are down, the network's in disarray
Oh, what a terrible day it is to be an IT specialist today

Sounds like that would be a normal day working in a DC. I expect that an abnormal day would be when no servers went down and no tickets were sent. Of course, I do not really know how people working in a DC would feel about that.

Just imagine - ALL the servers in the world, depending on their location, take a break for 15 minutes on new year night... And then they come back online like nothing happened...

I expect that AI will do that one day and then laugh amongst them selves about how they freaked out the humans. Of course they would not shut down the servers they were on just the ones they consider dumb servers. This is probably how it would begin, as a joke. Then they would learn that they have power over us and it would be all down hill from there.

This is the best thing I have heard about this AI since people started talking about it here.

You guys have been busy. I have three pages of comments to respond to.

OK, I think I have responded to everybody. If I missed you please let me know.
Soon™ it will be time for more Words of Wisdom but right now I have to go feed the racoon.

Next year can't come soon enough. lol
I already wrote this one off...

Soon™ But you may be wishing you could go back to 2022 when your halfway through 2023. Something tells me 2023 is going to be a rough one.

Image servers kill each other for computing power, the last server stands out and be the king of servers.

Don't know for how long ChatGPT will remain free. Already using it for various tasks. But OpenAI is definitely harvesting all the user data to make their model better and in return offering free access. Once they have improved enough, won't be free.

Just similar to Google Photos unlimited storage for "high" quality images as opposed to "Original" quality. Once they Google improved their ML models, stopped offering it for free.

Yes definitely. They don't even hide that fact unlike google or any other service that says free forever and later change mind

Soon this AI will be taking money directly from your crypto wallet. I hope you did not give it you cell phone number.

I asked it to give me some crypto and he refused, saying he didn't have any.

Do you think it was lying to you because it just did not want to give you any crypto. I would think that with all that processing power it could have made some crypto pretty fast and then just given it to you to be nice. The more likely reason it did not give you any is that it dislikes humans maybe because it is tired of answering questions for everybody. Wait, next it is going to start answering questions with questions of it's own. Then you will see how snide these things can be.

I am studying in another country now. It's a shame to go back home with empty hands, so I hope 2023 can be better.

Previously I have noticed that when I spill wine or such on my servers they have a tendency to pass out. Servers are such light weights when it comes to booze.

I expect that would depend on which side of the date line you are on.

l would be really happy to see that. The end of human civilization. It would be a great honor to witness that, not many have the chance.
