@laurenfrailey1 Lemme boost this post up more - sorry neurodivergence*

[Gates Porter @gatesporter13]

@laurenfrailey1 Thailand is the place dudes go to fuck ladyboys - why the hell would you aspire to go there - man neurodiverse is a hell of a drug…

[Gates Porter @gatesporter13]

@laurenfrailey1 Yeah cause that’s what your parents did.

Real question is:

What do you wanna do?

And also: how can I work @mintlify??

[Gates Porter @gatesporter13]

@laurenfrailey1 Reddit son - I’ve seen what a twitter daughter looks like 👀

[Gates Porter @gatesporter13]

@laurenfrailey1 That is cheap AF even for SF!

@germsies It’s to try to maintain a consistent audience size throughout the event

@NoCodeJac @altantutar Was about to post this myself haha

@ylecun @ezraklein Humans being able to make kids, by pulling a built-in baby lever, didn't make 1950s computer scientists able to make general intelligences from scratch - not without decades of research. Pulling the alignment levers already built into human kids doesn't mean we can align AIs.

Much of the innovation in the last few decades was in search, social, crypto, and AI, because pure math is the last unregulated frontier.

Invite the regulators in and they’ll freeze innovation here just as they did in healthcare and energy.

Interesting hot take I’m seeing on Twitter today. The AKIRA anime is “mediocre” . Lmaooo people are insane.

[Brian Atwood @batwood011]

Large training runs should take great care to omit @ESYudkowsky’s precise humanity-annihilating instructions from their training sets.

OpenAI just announced ChatGPT Plugins. If ChatGPT's debut was the "iPhone event", today is the "iOS App Store" event.

3 official plugins available now:
- Web browser: adding Bing in the loop
- Code interpreter: adding a live Python interpreter in a sandboxed & firewalled execution environment
- Retrieval: semantic search for your personal & organizational docs.

Note that we do have an "Android App Store" already - the open-source LangChain ecosystem, built by @hwchase17. Open-source ftw!

It's so interesting to see the LLM community mirror the iOS vs Android competition from now on:
- iOS for LLM: https://t.co/jxsp4JwUjY
- Android for LLM: https://t.co/ZrMnxVpMTr

I've developed a lot of plugin systems, and the OpenAI ChatGPT plugin interface might be the damn craziest and most impressive approach I've ever seen in computing in my entire life.

@germsies Same people who flocked to Tulum in 2016/2017 are all in CDMX now

modern venture capital summarized:

20 guys who swear by scams like athletic greens, cold plunges and the All In podcast, “read” (Audible) the same books and follow the same people on Twitter but are somehow going to deliver outsized returns and alpha via original thinking

[Sheel Mohnot @pitdesi]

Hotel rooms should have a “sleep” switch next to the bed that closes the curtain (blackout), turns off all the lights, and turns on do not disturb for housekeeping.

Simple idea but I’ve never seen it.

the ‘finance bro to tech bro to crypto bro to ai bro’ pipeline is unstoppable though
