I had all the feelings when I saw this piece today. Shanna has been so impressive the entire time I've known and worked with her, and I'm very excited to see what's next.

Look, out world.

Hidden amongst the zingers in the leaked Google memo there's this: data quality is what is making the difference now. This is an important shift away from internet-scale garbage dump datasets that have been running the show for years.

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi.

This is a significant privacy breach. People are encouraged to use ChatGPT as a personal tool, so that means everything from sensitive work tasks to health questions have been exposed to other users.
