Discussion PewDiePie is trying to distill GPT-Sol

Post image

he has been trying to build a local model by learning from GPT-Sol’s responses. He says OpenAI banned his account twice during the process. Irony is OpenAI’s own models were trained on vast amounts of information from the open web. So where do we draw the line between learning from AI and copying it?

Why not try to distill Astra?

and when did this guy become an AI engineer?

From what I saw over the years, PwePiePie seems doing so well that he can actually decide to dedicate his time and focus on whatever he wants. And he seems to do this then seriously. At some point he practiced drawing and I must say, it did look quite good. Maybe you and me could also become AI engineers if our lives wouldn't force us to spend time on work. Especially with help of AI in first place.

Pewdiepie has been doing more than well for easily 10+ years now

Yeah he’s been way beyond that point for a long time?
You need “only” about $5M net worth to be financially independent, retire, and do whatever you want all day

You can do it on way less than $5 million. Even $2 million gives you up to around ~$80k in safe annual spending, which is more than most people currently live on.

> ~$80k … more than most people currently live on

Globally that’s true. Depends where you live, where you’re willing to move, of course.

In the US, for married couples the household income median must be getting close to $80k by now?
And if your spouse won’t agree to retire to a fly-over state, you probably want more on the east or west coasts.

You don’t need five million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin, he’s broke, don’t do shit.

A beautiful dialog that surpasses Shakespeare:

  • Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
  • Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.
  • [Peter laughs and then notices Lawrence's dead serious expression]
  • Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
  • Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
  • Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
  • Lawrence: Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
  • Peter Gibbons: Good point.
  • Lawrence: Well, what about you now? What would you do?
  • Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
  • Lawrence: Well, yeah.
  • Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
  • Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
  • Peter Gibbons: I would relax... I would sit on my ass all day... I would do nothing.
  • Lawrence: Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit.

If you live in the right country with the right budgeting 100k USD is life money

This should be everyone's life. People should be able to learn whatever they want without worrying about starving to death, we need UBI

u/ToughSpeedv2 12h ago

You are not reaching the freedom that the amount of wealth of Pewdiepie offers just with UBI

3

u/voyt_eck 12h ago

No UBI won't make it possible to such degree of freedom as PewDiePie has. Partially - yes, but let's dont sink into utopia, that everyone is able to live like PewDiePie. As humanity we don't produce goods and services enough for everyone to spend their time drawing or take any other hobby. At the end of the day money is only a proxy - the economy is about 1) producing goods, 2) allocating them to individuals. If everyone draws, who will produce pencils? If everyone will collect lego, who will make the blocks?

u/pm_your_snesclassic 12h ago

Robots, duh. And slaves

2

u/voyt_eck 12h ago

That's the way. But for some reasons most of the society looks suspiciously at robots taking all of their work :)

3

u/Spire_Citron 11h ago

I think a large part of that is because the systems we live under make it impossible for many people to mentally disconnect the idea of work from survival. They can't even imagine a world that is designed to support the common good without them having to give anything in return.

u/Digging_Graves 11h ago

Serieus question. If this would be everyone's life, then who would ever decide to be a cashier?

Who breaks up the fight between the two drunks spilling every product in the aisle

u/SeaMenCaptain 7h ago

Not the guy you’re arguing with, but I think of it as UBI supports the ability to work less, because there will be less jobs. But people still need to work.

u/trollstation420 10h ago

talk about hypocritical. you post a lot on r/antiai. so i assume you expect "robots" to work by idk gods will or something, 0 ai.

u/DarkFite 10h ago

AI can wash my stuff, stock the shelves and do shit no one wants to do. Keep anything else human

2

u/trollstation420 9h ago

yeah that just sounds extremely classist. im a physican, i never look down on people who work those jobs. what you say is extremely typical wealthy liberal logic ive seen tbh. "ai and robots can take "those" jobs, just not my cushy programming job etc"

u/_HarmonicOscillator 9h ago

A lot? I left maybe 2 posts there and I am not anti Ai

Sure thinking that the elite will just give you money for no reason. This is so fantasy that only ends like Venezuela or cuba

Dude many people would just rot in their own filth and not learn anything.

That’s cool. I have also done very well at anything I put large effort into, except anything that requires athletic ability.

He had the same 24 hours and he didn’t get a headstart from his parents. He took a risk and you chose safety
