@JimDMiller @Neil_Jetter Or just playing this one out… you asked it to write 100 versions of a thing and to rank them and it has been trained to not blow tokens.

Paddy is dare i say a baddy.

@perrymetzger But give it a year and people will stop trying to be better than each other.

The best teacher I ever ever had just did lots of in class essays and graded hard. It sucked but you read the thing and everyone read the thing. It’s always been pretty simple. BUT the teacher has to care. I think the AI reckoning in education is more about a lot of teachers mailing it in being met, now, by students mailing it in in a way they can’t catch.

@shiri_shh You were two years early. Sorry for your loss.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

@paulg Except for romance. There will always be romance.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

@paulg This is very true but… people stopped reading books like ten year ago.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

Let’s be honest. Flyweight was boring simply because @MightyMouse was too good.

@NateSilver538 Full disclosure: longstanding white belt.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

@NateSilver538 In fight sports, the little I know, this is indeed almost always a cope. If you are trying hard, it feels morally good but you are probably losing to someone with better techinque.

Can't do any work today because I am waiting for my IQ-upgrade to hit tomorrow.

One more time with feeling

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

I used to run a bcorp tech co and have served on the board of a few tech nonprofits.

My (admittedly anecdotal) view is no institutional structure is itself going to achieve that goal. The good news is these companies, however they are structured, are creatures of US law.

If and when things get sufficiently serious, the lever for achieving these goals is through are our actual democratic institutions.

@petergyang @trevin Frontend one good one is like keep lighthouse mobile and desktop scores above X.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

Same. Works for certain categories of software problems really well but in others it spirals into nonsense. I think that’s a good test for where AI is going to be most disruptive in knowledge work generally in the immediate term: places where definition of success is ultra clear and you can run lots of iterations eg stock trading, ranking songs on Spotify, ppc ad design, etc.

@datarade @BrianNorgard Maybe just cybersecurity stocks as a portfolio bet ha?

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

@datarade @BrianNorgard If it’s consumer use cases being saturated by local compute, question becomes which company captures the margin? Apple is good at that.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

@datarade @BrianNorgard True… and nah. Instant, infinite video games. Enough said. And just hedge the true by buying Apple.

[Scott Kelly @scottgeraldk]

I am but a simple man and don’t understand benchmarks. Please just give every model since GPT 3 a @chesscom account and have them play 100 games.

@andrewchen Same thing for PowerPoint. HTML files are easier for AI coding tools, and more expressive.
