ChatGPT

In Soweto, there's a place so dear,
Where patients go, to conquer their fear,
A hospital, once a symbol of hope,
Now known as Diepkloof, a place to mope.

Once proud and strong, a beacon of care,
Where doctors worked, to heal and repair,
But now its walls, are stained with neglect,
A broken system, the patients neglect.

Its halls are empty, its equipment old,
The staff so stretched, the patients untold,
Of their rights, and the care that they need,
In a system, that seems to have lost its creed.

The government's promises, now just a lie,
As the people of Soweto, watch it slowly die,
A place that once brought solace and peace,
Now brings nothing but heartache and unease.

But the people still fight, for what is right,
For a hospital, that can heal the night,
And bring back the hope, that it once knew,
A shining example, of what a hospital should do.

There are far more advanced systems in the works right now that aren't very public at the moment (so I hear). GPT has the spotlight for now, and their API's are already subscription based IIRC. They'll continue to evolve their pricing model over time to suit the business needs, but this won't stop businesses, considering the potential to greatly improve its employee's capabilities (and with that, driving up revenue) and fill in some gaps.

In the coming months to years, we'll see major improvements in GPT (GPT4 that is) and other players enter the arena (with possibly (maybe very likely!) even better systems). Support roles will be greatly affected (whether or not it would be eliminated is another story), dev roles would be affected, artists are already affected with Dall-E and other creative arts AI models (soon web designers and UX would be affected). Project managers, finance roles etc. All of it.

Again, whether or not it will eliminate the roles are up in the air, but they would be greatly affected. Time will tell. But no reason not to continue in this space. One must just be ready to adapt. :)

Since the first robot replaced workers, we have feared that automation will consume most if not all jobs. Problem is, if no one has employment, the economy will stop to function. Then who will consume the products, how will products be paid for.

Like the game Monopoly, if one player owns everything, the others can't exist any more. GPT is really nice, especially for lonely people like myself. I can ask questions about Java or C# and it can actually help me. Psychologically, I don't feel stupid asking questions, and I am not judged. That is worth a lot of money.

But let's consider for a moment, GPT takes all the software development roles, tech support, other jobs. Why would you use those companies to do things for you? Every business would rather buy GPT access than go to a software development company and spend money with it. It is the death of an entire industry, and all supporting industries.

We see this with our communications industry, they have bots all over the place and our problems doesn't get resolved, and we walk away as clients. Investors lose money, people lose jobs, and soon you will have a new Renaissance.

Companies will have to realize that GPT and other technologies like it must work with humanity.

Years ago you could download a csv file. Wrote a rudimentary app to pick the most likely number to win and won fokkol.

But this was probably 10-15 years ago.

Yes... here they are...

01,02,03,04,05,06,07,
08,09,10,11,12,13,14,
15,16,17,18,19,20,21,
22,23,24,25,26,27,28,
29,30,31,32,33,34,35,
36,37,38,39,40,41,42,
43,44,45,46,47,48,49

I have also taken the liberty of sorting and de-duplicating them for you

I'm sure tonight's numbers are in there, history has a way of repeating itself. :ROFL:

Asked it to write a batch file for me:

@Echo off

rem Define the source, destination, and archive folders
set src=\\network\share\folder
set dst=C:\local\folder
set arc=C:\archives

rem Get the current date in the format yyyymmdd
for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do set date=%%c%%b%%a

rem Copy the files from the network share to the local share
xcopy %src% %dst% /E /I /C /R /Y

rem Compress the files in the local share
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip %dst%_%date%.zip %dst%\*

rem Move the ZIP file to the archive folder
move %dst%_%date%.zip %arc%

rem Delete the files in the destination folder
rd /s /q %dst%

echo Done!
pause

I am surprised at how easily it did this. It made a slight mistake at the end where I wanted it to delete the files and not the entire destination folder after it zipped the files and moved the zip but I asked it to fix it and it made the following change:
del /q %dst%\*

Seems to be working 100% now.

For stuff like batch files (that I last seriously messed with years ago) its awesome. It can create the template for you, then you just test and fix as you go.

Because lottery is a system with no memory and equally weighted probability for each attempt. Statistically over time averaged over millions of data points all numbers would appear equal times. But that still tells you nothing of which number is most likely to come up no matter how big your input data set is.

It's like trying to say you know where a rain drop will fall tomorrow during a storm because you've got an excel document with all the locations rain drops for the previous 10 000 storms. Statistics only allow you to retroactively identify a bias in a system like that, not actually predict the future.

That's your "truth", pal.
 
All I can say is there are a few too many well writen and grammatically correct comments on this thread.
Y'all don't usually comment with such elocence!
... Seems like there's an upgraded form of spell check available

None of that helps when you've just drunk a bottle of Lagavulin 16 year old.
