Less than 31 hours since OpenAI started dropping the ChatGPT vision feature on pro users...
People are scratching their heads in disbelief.
10 wild examples:
My last tweet before weekend, and for the summer
In early Jan 2023, under SPX 3800, I turned bullish because megacap tech (NDX-4 index) went under severe accumulation, right before the earnings and first time since the beginning of the bear market.
Generals were strong. Army were to follow. From that day, NDX rallied a whooping 37%
Just to remind my fellow followers that the same NDX-4 index that led the market higher from Jan 2023 low has been acting like a dog shit since May 25 2023, for more than 2 weeks now.
I will see you later

I blew up 20k in 2 months then turned 5k into 80k
Don't Make the SAME Mistakes I did
Here are my 3 BEST tips that saved my account (#3 is my KEY)🧵
Over the years, I have received numerous DMs expressing interest in my @tradingview indicators and setup. I would like to take this opportunity to delve deeper into the subject and share 4 indicators that I believe can provide extreme value, especially for free users.
Furthermore, I am nominating @JohnMuchow, @DumbleDax, @finallynitin, @amphtrading, and @traderlion as potential candidates for @tradingview's Wizard Program - Pine Script Wizards.
Take a look at the impressive work by @DumbleDax on #TradingView! It's recommended to share and view it soon to avoid potential copyright issues leading to its removal.

The Great Financial Tightening has thrown the global monetary system into disarray, prompting large interventions by financial leaders. Markets perceived their response as a pivot, but it was just a stopgap. The real hard landing now awaits us... 1/
I'm in the top 2% of users on StackOverflow. My content there has been viewed by over 1.7M people. And it's unlikely I'll ever write anything there again.
Which may be a much bigger problem than it seems. Because it may be the canary in the mine of our collective knowledge.
A canary that signals a change in the airflow of knowledge: from human-human via machine, to human-machine only. Don’t pass human, don’t collect 200 virtual internet points along the way.
StackOverflow is *the* repository for programming Q&A. It has 100M users & saves man-years of time & wig-factories-worth of grey hair every single day.
It is driven by people like me who ask questions that other developers answer. Or vice-versa. Over 10 years I've asked 217 questions & answered 77. Those questions have been read by millions of developers & had tens of millions of views.
But since GPT4 it looks less & less likely any of that will happen; at least for me. Which will be bad for StackOverflow. But if I'm representative of other knowledge-workers then it presents a larger & more alarming problem for us as humans.
What happens when we stop pooling our knowledge with each other & instead pour it straight into The Machine? Where will our libraries be? How can we avoid total dependency on The Machine? What content do we even feed the next version of The Machine to train on?
When it comes time to train GPTx it risks drinking from a dry riverbed. Because programmers won't be asking many questions on StackOverflow. GPT4 will have answered them in private. So while GPT4 was trained on all of the questions asked before 2021 what will GPT6 train on?
This raises a more profound question. If this pattern replicates elsewhere & the direction of our collective knowledge alters from outward to humanity to inward into the machine then we are dependent on it in a way that supercedes all of our prior machine-dependencies.
Whether or not it "wants" to take over, the change in the nature of where information goes will mean that it takes over by default.
Like a fast-growing Covid variant, AI will become the dominant source of knowledge simply by virtue of growth. If we take the example of StackOverflow, that pool of human knowledge that used to belong to us - may be reduced down to a mere weighting inside the transformer.
Or, perhaps even more alarmingly, if we trust that the current GPT doesn't learn from its inputs, it may be lost altogether. Because if it doesn't remember what we talk about & we don't share it then where does the knowledge even go?
We already have an irreversible dependency on machines to store our knowledge. But at least we control it. We can extract it, duplicate it, go & store it in a vault in the Arctic (as Github has done).
So what happens next? I don't know, I only have questions.
None of which you'll find on StackOverflow.

A China-Russia-US-Ukraine Grand Deal in the making? Consider: Xi negotiating/pressing Putin to halt combat; this requires Zelelensky also to halt; Xi threat to give lethal arms to Russia forces Biden to pressure Zelensky to agree cease fire arranged by Xi?
