Still some combining/comparing kinks that ChatGPT needs to correct, but it’s a good start that can be refined.

Maybe I should automate and launch this as a service?

My latest project: reducing the lecture note publication process to a matter of days with Word and Zoom. I’ve used transcription and “compare docs” but nice to have a step-by-step guide.

@dggoldst Anything said in a Ted talk.

@Kamar_art @jneeley78 @dggoldst You need to strike a “power pose” before you state something like this.

@dggoldst “Half of marriages end in divorce.”

@john_voorheis 16 years later, it still blows interviewers minds when I point out that much of the lower income/spending during the Great Recession wasn’t just because of unemployment, but the huge loss in secondary income.

I still often think about how a ton of know-nothings were calling for a recessions in 2022/2023 because of “vibes”:

Tim Cook: “We have taught Siri to understand sarcasm.”

@PhDemetri Musk seems just miserable in all of his speeches. Zuck seems focused on building his Larry Ellison knock-off Bond villain lair in Hawaii. Good for them if that’s their goal. I just don’t know if either has friends.

@humpheryjenner @KhoaVuUmn I mean, if working for Apple is “making it out…”

[Jeremy Skog @jeremyskog]

@PhDemetri Does anyone actually think that Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk seem like happy people? They seem like the most miserable people I’ve ever seen.

@EconBerger @TheEconomist I guess it’s easy to be “Winning” if one just constantly lies to shareholders, regulators, and business partners. Welch claimed the BLS lied because his whole life was projecting his own lack of conscience.

@Brendan_Duke @ernietedeschi “Hi, it looks like you’re making a comment on Clippy, would like me annoy the living hell out of you?”

@ernietedeschi Microsoft Excel has stats, data visualization, python, ai, and web search. It is the perfect 20th century teaching tool.

Random question can reveal AI training data and methods, a serious Chat GPT fail, ignoring Winter Carnival and The Godfather (where Michael went) and With Honors at Harvard. The training set included Wikipedia but maybe not IMDB, but this should still have been picked up.

@mattyglesias Also, Remember the Titans was in Alexandria.

[Jeremy Skog @jeremyskog]

@mattyglesias True Lies, the Tom Clancy films, and Mission Impossible were about civil servants. ;)

@ajordannafa This is pickleball erasure.

[Jeremy Skog @jeremyskog]

@NewsWire_US It’s a cool idea, but have they considered have less parking, and it’s great that the US is building again, but have they considered just have less parking?

@briangongol @mattyglesias Telnet, IRC, and usenet are definitely callback triggers.
