started a new job that doesn't allow us to use @arcinternet and I'm so sad. It's an actual productivity dip :( I feel so overwhelmed by tabs now!.

.@Quill_org uses AI to help students learn instead of helping them cheat. Love this!.

My theory on types of business ideas. You can be Elon Musk or a garbage truck mogul. I choose garbage trucks.

Starting to write about my experiences at @hopscotch. First post describing our product process here:

Life hack that really works: put rice in your pre-washed salad greens. This Costco spinach is 2 weeks old and going strong

In the past, your last name was your profession (tailor, smith, cooper, etc). Just noticed the practice has returned with cell phone contacts: everyone gets their first name + profession (i.e. Delia Doctor, Jane Exterminator). Human nature doesn't change.

Why doesn't chat GPT ever ask me clarifying questions?.

low key, home depot has the best e-commerce website.

Heartbreaking. Everyone should know this story. Thank you @dzalcman for creating these incredible photographs/works of art.

but in all seriousness, please let me know if you figured out the issue.

It reminds me of this:

coconuts are nature’s dog toys.

One big advantage of chatgpt over search is that it keeps your context. Often I’ll research something that will require several queries or questions—the stateless nature of Google search feels like it’s working against me.

update, I wrote the regex. How long does it take to write a regex? . 20 minutes to try and get GPT3 to write it for you. 20 minutes to write a twitter thread complaining . 20 minutes to set up your testing environment. 2 minutes to read the docs . 30 seconds to write the code.

Also to be fair, I asked it to write the regex cause I didn't know how to do it either 🤷‍♀️.

To be fair. I'm reminding myself of Louis CKs bit about people complaining about slow wifi on the airplane.

On each subsequent ask it became more confident and took longer to answer until I gave up in disgust. This is definitely going to be replacing a lot of customer service departments very soon.

Using GPT-3 to write a regex feels like talking to the customer service department at @Xfinity. It's overly friendly and extremely confident it solved my problem even though it didn't.

Something about all the viral GPT3 chats remind me of Listicles from the early 2010s. Except the cycle of fascination => oversaturation is faster thanks to AI content being even cheaper to create.

AI is great and all, but the thing that *actually* changed my relationship with my computer the most is still this blog post by @lorenb from 2020: . PSA if your computer is slow and you think it's time for a new one, read this first.
