Half the showers I use have a 1mm "goldilocks" zone. Anything outside that zone is like swimming in lava or taking an ice bath.

Maybe they can add a button we press once we find the "goldilocks" zone and then the handle adjusts more mildly from that point?

LLMs lack of self-awareness remains their biggest problem from a UX perspective. They will lie and hallucinate and have no awareness they are being misleading.

At least a person can say "idk but here is my opinion."

Makes it easier for me judge the veracity of what they say.

the modern company playbook:

1) craft signal rich content that hits like gospel for a specific tribe.

2) build compounding trust with the ones who actually care.

3) channel that trust into world class software so sharp it feels like a cheat code.

then: widen the aperture. scale without dilution.

welcome.

A mental framing that will get you far: Think of interactions and games in terms of positive-sum rather than zero-sum.

If you view people and events as really advanced monkeys high on their own self-importance, a lot of things start making sense.

Great points by the brilliant @BobEUnlimited! Margin expansion by the S&P493 is anticipated by AI's impact on reducing labor. Means more firing and less hiring of American workers. Second-order effects ensue. https://t.co/Lz1ZgG7Qyt

Important article on policy prioritization. Be skeptical when trade-offs are not easy to discern. There is no "correct" answer on what we ought to prioritize but pretending it doesn't occur is dangerous and leads to bad policy.

3. If deal breaks down, he'll likely throw blame back on Biden admin but seems like he is owning it from the get go.

4. Tbd what posture Trump will take towards Iran and if this deal changes that outcome. (2/2)

[Emerson Riback @RibackEmerson]

Food for thought re: Israel-Gaza deal:

1. Deal was announced 5 days prior to Trump inauguration. I half expected a repeat of 1981 Iran hostage release in terms of timing.

2. Trump taking credit for the ceasefire. Either reflects his confidence that all steps will be... (1/2)

Will be interesting to see how many AI agent functions the primary LLMs will be able to perform. We're just at the beginning of a new digital ecosystem (similar to apps on smartphones)... a whole ecosystem we can't fathom will be created over the next decade.

Today we’re rolling out a beta version of tasks—a new way to ask ChatGPT to do things for you at a future time.

Whether it's one-time reminders or recurring actions, tell ChatGPT what you need and when, and it will automatically take care of it.

One of the advantages/disadvantages of scale: You can make bad decisions and not feel the consequences.
