Time to play Underrated Books. Reply with a genre, I’ll recommend a book that doesn’t get talked about enough.

Tom Lehrer influenced me in profound ways - RIP to the greatest of all the musical satirists

A mathematician by training, he acquired a devoted following with songs that set sardonic lyrics to music that was often maddeningly cheerful.

My new favorite acronym is "D&A" - in publishing parlance that means "delivered and accepted". The final draft of my very weird novel has officially passed muster with Ballantine and is off to copyedits. Can't wait to share it with you!.

4. AI will not make you an expert. If you do not understand the subject you are prompting about, AI will happily lead you into category errors. Unlike a human teacher, LLMs may not tell you that you are asking the wrong questions. Language models built on producing the most.

3. AI will not make you more creative. Everything the LLMs tell you is summed up from a source at best, made up at worst. This can be quite useful when you are studying existing ideas. It is not to be mistaken for original insight. AI will not reveal secrets to you.

2. AI will not make you smarter. It will make you faster at retrieving (possibly correct) answers to certain questions. But it will not improve your reasoning, judgment, or mental processing ability. It may even degrade them. Engaging in long, Socratic discussions with AI.

a thread of harsh truths to vaccinate you against chatgpt psychosis. 1. AI will not make you more interesting. AI-generated words may be helpful to you in your own research. Nobody else is interested in reading them. Assume that nothing written by AI is worth publishing. AI will.

Spent several hours with @augmentcode today, adding and revising features in an unfamiliar Next.js codebase, and am deeply, deeply shaken by how good it is.

Freeman & Forrest turns one year old today. • 13 amazing full-time team members.• 33% of tech's Fortune 100 under contract.• More than $1.7 million paid out to technical builders and creators.• $0 in funding. More numbers from a wild Year 1:

With one full year under our belts, here are a few of the numbers from this year that we’re most excited about.

My last update on the Cloud Resume Challenge . As I've refocused my career on running my company Freeman & Forrest, it's become clear that I no longer have the bandwidth (or, really, the technical depth) to continue giving the Cloud Resume Challenge the close attention it.

Testing a hunch. Can you define “AI agent” in one sentence?.

You can search your own name in the LibGen database to see if Meta trained their AI on any of your books. Looks like they trained on my Wiley book “The Read-Aloud Cloud”, as well as all the Cloud Resume Challenge guidebooks. Needless to say, I did not authorize any of this.
