Being anti-AI is like being anti-Excel. Look, Excel has flaws, but it powers … conservatively … trillions? of economic throughput. Because it's SO much better than the old way. If you still think AI is a "hype train" at this point, I don't know what to say to you

@ChrisMurphyCT You're being played by people who want regulatory capture. They are scaring everyone with dubious studies so that open source models are regulated out of existence.

I wish I could bookmark juicy bits of ChatGPT conversations. I find myself having long threads on certain topics, sometimes over many days, and occasionally an insight is worth coming back to.

It has been a busy few months! Somehow, I find myself with one more bit of news: I am transgender, and I'm in the middle of a gender transition. 🏳️‍⚧️ I am changing my name to Tess (she/her). I am out at home and at work and now you know, too. That's the gist. If the story

I for one am still more worried about engineered viruses than malignant AI We fear technological advances because they feed our imagination. Infection is boring, but look at how impossible it is to stop it.
