It's made my life better. I use it constantly for electrical calculations, some research to point me in the right direction, also for synopsis of cool new dnd campaigns.
The point is to put it to work.

Sometimes I would ask it for book recommendations. For example, I would ask it for "a fantasy novel starring a transgender witch". It gives SUCH convincing synopses of a bunch of books but any time you ask it to clarify any of them suddenly it apologises and says it made a mistake. I got taken in by a description of The Priory of the Orange Tree which was a good enough book, but man, the supposed 'dragon-riding sword-wielding witch' was actually three completely different characters and none of them were trans.

I basically use it to draft generic advertisements from clients, particularly the ones who get SO MAD if you do anything other than something completely generic.
I'm not joking by the way. Just slap the client's brief in there, try to spice it up, somehow they're happy with the result. And if they're not well at least I didn't waste more than three minutes on it.

25 dollars for that paper so here is a book on the subject, https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/217513689.pdf but holy fuck that’s way way over my head.

What China does is pump out a literal wall of science papers and journal submissions with next to no actual results (or fabricated results). What they are doing is giving themselves the ability to challenge any and all IP developed in the rest of the world. The problem with IP law is that any science journal submission no matter how spurious or lacking scientific rigour can still create an IP claim if real research is then undertaken in that field. They may even be aware of the development of a tech breakthrough in say a US university and they create fake research to be able to access the IP in discovery.

Not much detail of how it works there, very interesting.

This literally happened with the Foxbat and F-15, but it was the USSR rather than China. It wasn't until a Soviet pilot defected with his jet to Japan that western scientists realized it was a very clunky, basically single use interceptor, not a gen4 air superiority fighter.

Idk man, I use it daily. I get the advice I need (generally) on very specific problems. By no means did it solve cancer, but it has easily saved me 100 hours since release.

The company where I work is trying to copy the existing b2b service where the bot generates goods description for the marketplace the company own - they plan to charge $0.1 per description.

Many, many people are terrible writers and I think AI will level the playing field a bit for them. The trick for me is then how to stay ahead.

You’re right about becoming routine very quickly. It’s already baked in.

Sandia Labs wrote a paper on the theory (see https://arc.aiaa.org/doi/10.2514/3.2942). It is possible.

>It gets lot of headwind partly because theory removes possibility of dark matter and lot of people in science circles are affraid of losing their funding.
Well, it could be getting lots of headwind because lots of people in science circles look at a company promising world-changing results without spelling out in detail how they are to be achieved and not working with anyone else in the scientific community and conclude it's likely not real. Or your conspiracy idea.

Yah, that’s a good point. Humans can feel unsure or sceptical and so try to ask clarifying questions, or even question things.

>It is also not surprising that a company with possibly revolutionary tech keeps quiet about how it does what it does it the public space.
The normal approach to that is patenting the technology, which requires explaining exactly how it works. If it's the real deal the secrecy approach might work for us regular folks but isn't likely to keep the likes of ULA or Spacex from figuring it out for long. So I don't think that's really a good explanation.

There's tons of hydrogen ions just floating around in space, not necessarily in deep space but near our solar system. Maybe it's just using that and a magnetic field as propulsion. Kind of funneling in ions and then accelerating them
