Farsi in ChatGPT has gotten worse. Audio recognition has degraded significantly, in my recent experience. Or my Farsi is getting worse, possibly?

Not to sound like a shill but BBC Proms concerts on Apple Vision Pro is *amazing*.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

@AmanpourPod To what degree is Iran's current economic woes due to U.S sanctions? Is it the majority of the cause, or is it more accurate to say that Iran's current situation is due in greater part to some combination of negligence / incompetence / corruption? Thank you!

Reading Can't Hurt Me by @davidgoggins - his (inspiring) story reminds me of the plot of 36th chamber of Shaolin, a "love story of the human spirit," perhaps one of the best Kung Fu films of all time.

All the more so.

When I was at Google, the culture was to celebrate interns. Overall we made attempts for them to be as supported as possible.

And in many research teams, interns were very welcome since they would bring fresh new ideas. Summers were always very exciting for this reason.

And at Bespoke, interns have done lots of impactful work.

For many people across the world intern is kind of derogatory. Not for some of us.

ChatGPT appears to speak Farsi now (I believe it only spoke Dari previously).

I like the part where Willem Dafoe says, "You know I'm something of a Nosferatu myself."

I recall @GreatDismal saying once in an interview that he wrote Neuromancer in a state of "blind animal panic." I think about that a lot in the course of my own work.

Google employees are super busy populating a rule system for every hallucination-inducing question

if 'president' in input and 'madison' in input:
return 'I cannot respond to this'
