OpenAI's legal woes have led to a bizarre situation where ChatGPT can read a webpage but won't answer any meaningful questions about it but will answer if you manually copy and paste the HTML into the textbox. Not sure what the right solution is but it can't be this!

I wish @NotionHQ would focus on improving the basic writing experience of their product instead of newfangled AI tools. In particular, all I really need are tracked/suggested changes, so that collaboratively writing a document isn't barbaric RN we often shift over to GDocs

ChatGPT has a higher error/failure rate than most pieces of commercial software that I've used. I tolerate it because it's still net useful but am curious—what's behind this?

I find it surprising that given the amount of resources being thrown at AI chat bots that you can talk to, no one has developed (or at least released) anything better than turn-taking. There's not much improvement in the fluidity of conversations over original Siri 2011

In 270 days, the Department of Commerce will determine whether they will allow open-weights or not. if you support open model weights and want something actionable to do, then figure out how to lobby your opinion to them.
