I mentioned Malta is giving out free ChatGPT Plus (or copilot equivalent) after completing a ~ 1.5 hour training.
So far they gave access and training to 5% of the total population

@relistan educating people? The course is quite good and you can extend to a 8 hour course for free (not mandatory to get the account).
So what they teach in using AI responsibly is quite good - my wife did it - she understands the limitations and so forth and generally been having a much better time of using it and more realistic about outcomes.
@ripienaar I wasn’t arguing against it I was trying to understand how they sold the expense. Sounds like it’s well done.
@relistan they also recently bought some insane nvidia CUDE machine that startups can apply to use for free etc - pushing AI education and AI in business quite a bit
@relistan unlikely that they are paying its pretty good marketing for those companies an we are small enough in population that its possible.
500k people only here, we get a ton of free shit from the gov (like our petrol price is fixed in 2014)
@ripienaar so the point is the class, and the subscription is the reward for doing the thing they want. That makes sense.
@relistan Yeah, and its a pretty solid reward also - 20/month for 2 years is a fair bit
@relistan eitherway, even assuming we dont agree population at large should use AI at least they arent using meta AI or grok AI and using it badly thinking its the fucking next coming of jesus or something like some do
@ripienaar interesting. What is the reasoning for doing that?
