I beat brain cancer today 😊

@ylecun @ezraklein Humans being able to make kids, by pulling a built-in baby lever, didn't make 1950s computer scientists able to make general intelligences from scratch - not without decades of research. Pulling the alignment levers already built into human kids doesn't mean we can align AIs.

Much of the innovation in the last few decades was in search, social, crypto, and AI, because pure math is the last unregulated frontier.

Invite the regulators in and they’ll freeze innovation here just as they did in healthcare and energy.

Interesting hot take I’m seeing on Twitter today. The AKIRA anime is “mediocre” . Lmaooo people are insane.

Large training runs should take great care to omit @ESYudkowsky’s precise humanity-annihilating instructions from their training sets.

OpenAI just announced ChatGPT Plugins. If ChatGPT's debut was the "iPhone event", today is the "iOS App Store" event.

3 official plugins available now:
- Web browser: adding Bing in the loop
- Code interpreter: adding a live Python interpreter in a github.com/hwchase17/lang…eRetrieval: semantic search for your personal & organizational docs.

Note that we do have an "Android App Store" already - the open-source LangChain ecosystem, built by @hwchase17. Open-source ftw!

It's so interesting to see the LLM community mirror the iOS vs Android competition from now on:
- iOS for LLM: openai.com/blog/chatgpt-p…
- Android for LLM: github.com/hwchase17/lang…

I've developed a lot of plugin systems, and the OpenAI ChatGPT plugin interface might be the damn craziest and most impressive approach I've ever seen in computing in my entire life.

modern venture capital summarized:

20 guys who swear by scams like athletic greens, cold plunges and the All In podcast, “read” (Audible) the same books and follow the same people on Twitter but are somehow going to deliver outsized returns and alpha via original thinking

Hotel rooms should have a “sleep” switch next to the bed that closes the curtain (blackout), turns off all the lights, and turns on do not disturb for housekeeping.

Simple idea but I’ve never seen it.

the ‘finance bro to tech bro to crypto bro to ai bro’ pipeline is unstoppable though

Remote work will re-price all of America. No one factoring this in as everyone is still in deep denial, but it's coming. Seems good for young folk (cities will have to work to attract people, can't just be 'jobs'). Also bullish for suburbia/well-run small communities. Buckle up

something very strange about people writing bullet points, having ChatGPT expand it to a polite email, sending it, and the sender using ChatGPT to condense it into the key bullet points

Starting a career in tech right now is like showing up to an orgy 3 hours late

Having a bit of AI existential angst today

Two of the worst traits left in ambitious teenagers' heads when they arrive at adulthood are the arrogance they acquired by acing easy tests and the pretentiousness they adopted because it fooled their friends.

I am not convinced power corrupts.

I think it is heartbreak and pain (& the subsequent avoidance of those experiences in our consciousness) which creates the behaviors we call corruption in people that are in positions of power.

Web3 devs turning into AI devs

100% remote work combined with a no meeting culture is going to create a large group of lonely, isolated workers

In 2023 it's still insane that we've decided to make housing, a technology at least 100 centuries old, scarce enough to consume a major fraction of GDP in a speculative unproductive deflationary asset that we could otherwise allocate to solving real problems.
