You know what the biggest problem with pushing all-things-AI is? Wrong direction.
I want AI to do my laundry and dishes so that I can do art and writing, not for AI to do my art and writing so that I can do my laundry and dishes.

1/ 🤖 Personal assistants of the future will be able to operate computers just like humans — by controlling user interfaces. To help make this vision a reality, we are excited to introduce AndroidWorld, a new benchmark for building and evaluating computer control agents. 🌍📱

Thanks @kevinroose and @CaseyNewton for your Hard Fork interview with @AravSrinivas. Business model of joint subscriptions between @perplexity_ai and publishers would be exciting. Answers could be limited to sources the user has subscribed to, thus creating incentive to subscribe

@lexfridman @JeffBezos I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Jeff Bezos. His comment that humans learn to drive with way less experience than AI/ML is exaggerated. Though a teen may have never driven before, they’ve had ~15 years learning the physics of the world, their bodies, and other tasks.

Ezra Klein Interviewed Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. Fascinating thoughts about what technology and society should look like in the not-so-distant future. https://t.co/SZbei21ZyP

@SoundAssured how do you recommend attaching your foam sound dampening squares? Tried tape and Command strips, but nothing sticks to the foam

Absolutely fascinating interview between Steven Pinker and Michael Lewis. Worth watching!

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

Rationality, lecture 17: Sports, Finance, Government - Guest appearance by Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker, Moneyball, Big Short, Fifth Risk. (Especially recommended: This class was really fun.) https://t.co/tBJdQtFCss

@thewoolleyman @jxxf Great post on gitlab flow vs git-flow. Thx for sharing. My takeaway is don’t over complicate for your needs, and just like voting: commit early and commit often!

#PhysicalDistancing would be a better term than #SocialDistancing. Emotional connection absent the physical hasn’t been shown to transmit the virus 😊

@NJTRANSIT Trouble with the mobile app. First, after signing in and clicking my active ticket I’d get “Applic. session expired...” Same after sign out & back in. Now won’t even let me sign in. I get “Invalid response from server” #MyTix

@fulhack Thanks for re-pointing me to your post on interviewing as noisy prediction. A must read for people hiring data science or other technical roles.

[Scott Hajek @jscotthajek]

@fulhack I enjoyed your post. Very thoughtful, and I liked your ideas for interview formats, like code reading.
