Thinking of an app that automates your computer actions using natural language voice commands. Imagine saying, "Find all emails from John about the project, draft a response, and send it to him via Messages," and it happens. If you have time, please answer a few questions↓

The new 4.5 ChatGPT model isn't particularly remarkable. It supposedly has a stronger "emotional intellect" (true, but not very useful), hallucinates less (which is indeed correct), and can use unfiltered strong language (which is false, regardless of the temperature setting)

What the hell... Moscow Metro uses cameras in trains to actually count congestion in real time, and through a mobile app, passengers can actually choose the least crowded carriage. Such cavemen!

Recently, i tried a new batch of popular mobile games and noticed that all the core mechanics are designed for auto-play. This led me to dive into some research: "Games That Play Themselves: Why Idle Games Work." Link ↓

As a manager, I've come to realize that my judgment can be skewed by a "relatability filter." Instead of objectively assessing work, we sometimes judge it based on how much we relate to the problem from our own experiences

At this point you've probably heard about a new trending thing called Evo 2: an AI model that's basically rewriting the rules of biology. Lets look a bit closer. (Did you know, that it used about 234 times more computational power than Google’s "genetic" AlphaFold?)

It's not hard to see why the US is concerned about the war between the two Eastern European countries. Geopolitics, history, all that. I get it. But if you try to forget all the backstory for a sec and just look at the situation as it is right now... it feels really strange ↓
