I make things. I tell stories. Sometimes people pay me for one and not the other.

Without a doubt, Google-style search results will be replaced by intelligent agents that allow you to clarify, refine, and follow up on your intent. Search queries like we do today will be a curious footnote. #GPT-3

Before Chat-GPT, I had Pippin—my personal AI assistant. I used it all the time. Chat-GPT today is generally more capable, but Pippin never wasted my time with long-winded answers and endless caveats and disclaimers.

Working on Halloween costumes and Pippin stopped me from making a big mistake. If this is GPT-3 today, what will GPT-4 enable tomorrow? (@gopippin via @OpenAI)

Mehran’s Steak House was just a name, created as an in-joke. But when its waiting list drew hundreds, the pranksters decided to stage dinner — for one night only. https://t.co/jlnKwJpCD3

@vimota @salesforce I repeatedly misread this as “Chain of Destiny.” Lol

@MTRehmeyer @HarleyHill25 @realdefender45 Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And claims made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. People have been “what iffing” 911 with easily disproved arguments and demanding to be taken seriously along with flat-earthers, or moon landing disbelievers.

@krishnanrohit I’m late to the party on this but… this chart is utterly meaningless? As in there are so many linkages between the two variables that aren’t shown that there’s no credible story or insight or gut-feeling to be had from it.

@zachwick Uh WHOA dude. Well done!

[Karl Tiedemann @soapko]

@drewhoov yyyyyyup. i'm in the same boat.

I had Midjourney generate stills from four famous Coen Brothers films…

The results really got me thinking about how much AI models both reflect and reduce pop culture but also—unsettlingly—may filter everything else out…

And then there's "Hudsucker". Delightful story or a SciFi horror? Clearly MJ has no data or clue.
As AI tools become bigger parts of our lives, I wonder about the other "Hudsuckers" in our culture & history that may vanish through an AI filter—how that diminishes us all.
