How embarrassing for @OpenAI, first for making such a deal and second for being proud to advertise it. The cherry on top: "In addition to providing content, News Corp will share journalistic expertise..." openai.com/index/news-cor…


I'm very much liking LLMs like Bard and ChatGPT for doing rapid research, e.g. for rapidly recommending and summarizing engineering tradeoffs for different technical products. But I dread the inevitable day that tech companies sneak sponsored results into their LLMs' responses.


Twitter is notably more right-wing than it used to be. I also suspect that many of the 'people' posting are bots or paid trolls because the messaging is simply too consistent. Their current instructions are to convey, "I voted for Biden in 2020 but wouldn't do so again because.."


In the future, AI will enable everyone to work 3.5 day work-weeks, which is great for the production of art because everyone will have more time to make music and write poetry that a computer is better at producing anyways. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…


One reason sci fi movies about the future can seem dated is that they overestimate progress in some areas while underestimating progress in others, leading to a lopsided universe where we have e.g. flying cars and magical food hydrators next to 80s clothes and fax machines.


Recruiter: "[Unpersonalized cold email]." Me: "Sorry, I'm not interested." LinkedIn: "<Recruiter> wants to connect."


What I wonder about with OceanGate is where the engineering team was with all of this. Was there even an engineering or QA? If so, what rationale did they have with the design decisions? Seems a student in ME 101 could have found lots of issues.

Last, while any challenge to Putin’s dictatorship is historic, we should remember: Prigozhin & Wagner are not good guys coming to liberate Russia & make it a blooming democracy. Remember, Prigozhin troll farms & influence operations targeted U.S. elections in 2016.

I could never understand why someone would buy a pair of $70 sunglasses. I bought 12 pairs of polarized glasses for $36 on Amazon so have a backup every time I lose a pair (which is often). Plus I can keep a pair in my car, stroller, coat, at home, etc.
