Every time some new research around AI comes out my theory that people who didn't rely on it will be lightyears better off than people who did continues to hold up.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Whenever people discuss if ChatGPT should be used in education, it should be noted that OpenAI's board includes a a professor who sought advice from a pedophile on how to manipulate one of his mentees into having sex with him, and in those conversations they substituted her name with a racial slur.
OpenAI is among the handful of the most powerful non-governmental institutions in the world.
Larry Summers could get fully jettisoned from Harvard (hasn't yet happened!) and yet still be fine so long as he is helping determine the future of AI.

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

I think “just go indie!” Is a far more complicated decision than people make it out to be. it means my limited time and energy must be put towards earning and keeping subscribers who have other writers they want to support. it also means I need people to like me, AND the work. maybe more than!

Crusader No Remorse is mine. I got the CD-ROM Classics version for around $20 just before winter break when I was a senior. I played through it that break and still revisit it almost every December.

Imagine going to a university that thinks the first step in writing starts with reams of raw content.
The easiest thing to write is what you already know. It's why you can bang out 1500 words in a text when you're angry. If writer's block is happening, the solution is to go learn more.

I've been reading more about Ohio State's initiatives and saw this on their teaching and learning website. There are a lot of ways to help students at these early stages of the writing process but I'm not sure what problem is solved by producing "reams of raw content."

Guitar Hero was released 20 years ago this week, so it's now about as old as Super Mario Bros. was when Guitar Hero came out.

The cool thing about our system is that we're told the capitalists deserve the rewards because they're the ones taking the risks, but when it all goes belly up everyone has to pay.
"Many of the deals OpenAI has struck — with chipmakers, cloud computing companies and others — are strangely circular. OpenAI receives billions from tech companies before sending those billions back to the same companies to pay for computing power and other services." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It's a very frustrating admission that most people think our representatives get to pick us instead of the opposite. We get to say who we don't want, especially years before the election!
A lot of people have somehow decided that this is a conversation about trans people not wanting to vote for an anti-trans bigot like Gavin Newsom and it absolutely is not.
He doesn't deserve their votes and they'd be right to hold them back. But I wouldn't expect that to change his mind.

The Boss Tweed strategy. We're leaning into the Gilded Age.
the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost
Trump raises the price of the ballroom to $350 million
(It changed from $200 million, then $300 million, now $350 million within the course of a few days)

And that pattern matching becomes our heuristics, those mental shortcuts we use to make decisions and judgements quickly and they grow and change as we age. If someone or something seems off there's a good chance it's violating your heuristic, positively or negatively.
Gavin de Backer's THE GIFT OF FEAR can only be recced with caveats, but he has a whole thing in there about how "intuition" is often unconscious pattern-matching: you may not be able to identify the red flags in the moment, but they still put you on alert

I liked the Platner ads too but I think there's a difference between "guy who had some bad reddit posts a decade ago" and "ex-Blackwater merc who still has a Nazi tattoo." Sucks bigtime that he's the only one taking positions and talking policy I like, but them's the breaks!
