I’ve been training neural nets for 30 years. There was never a day I didn’t wish I had more compute.

Finding solutions to problems just means we can now solve bigger problems and that is very exciting!

I am finding the hype followed by panic this month to be rather exaggerated. Please remain calm and centred, especially if you’re an AI builder under pressure from managers or investors. We can’t build AI safely when we easily fall prey to either hype or panic.

@elonmusk @engineering How do you measure unregretted user time? Will there be surveys to check users feel, or you have a proxy signal?

Let's start unpacking the jumbo set of Bing Chat updates that started rolling out today and will continue for the next 2-3 days:
- A new daily limit of 100 is in. Enjoy!
- SERP queries no longer count towards the Chat limit. Query away!
- Edge Sidebar limits are fixed

[Mikhail Parakhin @MParakhin]

Continue unpacking: the new tagging system is in! Many users were on it yesterday already, but the rollout has fully finished overnight. You should see significant Bing Chat interaction improvements - we were flighting it at 10% for a while. Give it a try!

1/ Yesterday we unveiled the new @Bing which my colleagues at @Microsoft and @OpenAI have been working on over the last few months. This is a transformational change to how users will find information on the web.

@OritSiMu @ChristiJOlson Bing will render your content using CSS and running Javascript. However it’s best to limit use of Javascript to load additional content to make sure Bing “sees” all your content.

Bingbot is adopting the next version of Microsoft Edge to render web pages. By adopting Edge, it will render pages using the same technology as Googlebot, Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. @facan #smx

Help Bing differentiate primary vs secondary content with semantic HTML5

✅ <footer>
❌ Not <div id=“footer”>

Increase your odds of getting a Bing featured paragraph snippet.
- Content is concise and structured with clear paragraphs (use<p> not <div><span>)
- Headings and subheadings are descriptive and provide categorization. (use <h1> to <h6> tags)
- Content is visible.

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

My note: @methode has also said "H tags... use them!"

[Jennifer Slegg @jenstar]

Best practices for Bing list featured snippets.
- Make clearly defined lists using <ol><ul><li>.
