Increasingly, I think the evidence is showing that prompting tricks (like offering a tip) are not worth doing. They work inconsistently & sometimes can produce worse results

Stick to providing context, doing chain of thought, and fewshot. These are solid. https://t.co/ehnBQTfPgq

@EnglishOER @sfchronicle That isn’t the response I just got: “The shortest 10-letter word in terms of its physical length would be one that consists mostly of narrow letters like 'i', 'l', 't', and 'f'. For instance, "illiterate" is relatively short as it includes several 'i's and 'l's” Not bad!

Y’all need to remember stuff like this when your favorite coach or influencer hawks a supplement, green powder and the like.

@emollick Excellent piece. Intrigued by the "organization of AIs," I adapted your randomness question to coin tosses--and ChatGPT responded with this novel use of Dalle3:

@gsiemens Would be interested in seeing instances of pist-secondary institutional AI strategy, but to your point @gsiemens we haven’t seen much. Posture has been reactive. How can we change that?

[Matthew L Prineas @mprineas]

@gsiemens Universities rushed to develop “policy”—responding to moral panic—but haven’t developed strategy. Starts with the question “what do we want to do with AI?” I don’t think there’s a single aspect of the university—operations to decision making to learning—that can’t benefit.

So many questions…

[GREG ISENBERG @gregisenberg]

Sam Altman just got fired as OpenAI's CEO. He skyrocketed its value from zero to $80B, and still, he's out.

This is exactly why I steer clear of venture capital. One moment you're in, the next you're out.

You work for the board of directors, not for yourself.
