The dark horse @MistralAI I have to say, Le Chat is pretty Le Good. chat.mistral.ai
Brutal unintended consequences. Policy makes it exorbitantly expensive to remove if found, then, surprise - none is ever found. Little bits thrown discretely in a green bin to be recycled into mulch and spread all over the city.
Another go, I'm testing if the sky really is bluer on the other side - bsky.app/profile/benjam… social handles all over the place...
the @tldraw demo is like the that avocado chair moment for generative AI. This took 15s, and yes the balls bounce. makereal.tldraw.com
Interesting thought bubble - we have the concept of model collapse when an LLM is fed on its own data. I wonder if this precipitates cultural collapse; as people are born into an LLM world their tastes are catered for, the cycle continues, until complete reversion to the mean🤔
What a world we live in now... Nice work, @mattshumer_

And then, everything changed again. Time to be alive = excellent.
Great power and great responsibility - this is extraordinary, having just taken the paper described in this news article phys.org/news/2023-07-d… and then fed into an LLM to allow layperson action - chat.openai.com/share/01720d1b… caveat emptor Still this is phenomenal. cc @emollick
Eating glass... so true. Great thread.
For all the AI talk this is a worthwhile watch youtube.com/watch?v=bZQun8… nice quick explainers and helpful layperson guidance on both what's going on and how you can best use GPTs. #LLMs #GenerativeAI
Quote I just made up that seems to have a hit a nerve: "There's facing reality and there's failure of imagination, be careful not to get the two crossed up".
What conspiracy theories are made of - just take this injection and while you're sleeping we'll 3d print mind control machinery inside your brain. What could possibly go wrong... newscientist.com/article/236794…
There will be a whole class of folks that are going from TL;DR to TL;DW and finally TL;DT - Too Long; Didn't Think. Unfortunately they will be taken advantage of in the same way the attention economy does now. An army of automatons, only human.
It feels like we're at the Cambrian explosion point with ML and large scale transformer models. Entire swathes of solutions are now possible and the rate of change is stupendous. It's snapped forward from toy curiosity to serious tool. I'm using almost daily. Coding,…
Inconsequential stuff, but I can't believe how bad GA4 Google Analytics roll-out has been. Impenetrable documentation, shifting sands, and bizarre import processes with very hacky tools. The first time I'm really playing with @mixpanel and even @yandexmetrika

I bookmarked this so I could try it out. I just had the hiccups. A few seconds apart, super annoying. Did the breathing below. Poof. Gone. Huberman FTW!
HOW TO RELIABLY STOP HICCUPS: Hiccups = phrenic nerve-to-diaphragm spasm. To de-spasm that circuit, inhale maximally (via your nose) 3 times with no exhales in between. Then hold your breath for 15-30 seconds & then slowly exhale (via your mouth). Done.
