By this logic, isn't learning any skill on google just ur brain training on stolen data?

[Raunak @capsraunak]

Bro, I'm so fucking tired of this AI shit.

You pour 8–10 years into mastering a craft late nights, brutal feedback, real scars from real failures.

Then some model trained on millions of stolen data (including yours) spits out better work in 4 seconds flat.

And the replies? "This is amazing Future is here"

We're not progressing. We're enthusiastically building the machine that makes our entire skillset worthless and calling it innovation.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

The great equalizer in action - a $100bn private tutoring industry alone in Asia has become nearly equitable overnight & personally so excited for more to come :)

[Google @Google]

We’re launching full-length, on demand practice exams for standardized tests in @GeminiApp, starting with the SAT, available now at no cost.

Practice SATs are grounded in rigorously vetted content in partnership with @ThePrincetonRev, and Gemini will provide immediate feedback highlighting where you excelled and where you might need to study more.

To try it out, tell Gemini, “I want to take a practice SAT test.”

[Hy Nguyen @MrPronoun00]

@skupor @WSJ @roelofbotha @sequoia Makes sense why the market took so long to react to AI news when we see it on Twitter a month in advance
