@Eaterofsun 👆🏻instrumental convergence?

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@alexhern Yes.

In the wake of the tech hype, it��s time to assess how DLT can prove valuable for the public good

[PUBLIC @PUBLIC_Team]

“As with any GovTech innovation, capitalising on the opportunities provided by #Web3 requires policymakers and public officials to attain a grasp of the core concepts and key technologies at play.”

@DanielKorski @PUBLIC_Team Kudos to the team here. Very well articulated, reasoned exploration, with a great balance of detail and applicability. Will be interesting to see how use cases develop

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@disruptivedean As part of a panel? Or presentation?

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@fchollet The assistant use case feels underrated. The virtual or digital assistant term is so tied to voice interfaces now that the personal aide potential feels missed

[Stratechery @stratechery]

AI Homework

The first obvious casualty of large language models is homework: the real training for everyone, though, and the best way to leverage AI, will be in verifying and editing information.

@rrhoover I think the current evolutions encourage a learning space more than information. Exploring subjects where we can’t provide custom paths or one-on-one as freely. Not the download to my brain scenario, but self-driven exploration. Save the expertise for expert availability

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@mrjasonchoi So many industries chasing out-of-market relevance have missed evolutions relevant to their existing customer relationships

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@levie Similarly using it to explore potential ideas and find it a great way to prod and poke to find knowledge gaps. Almost a knowledge advisor type use case

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@jackclarkSF New ways of describing existing approaches, that can be understood and acted upon, drives such a high % of business interaction. Exploring the space in this way feels more cooperative than competitive

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@flaviocopes The tension between social as an evolving, attention based business and growth as a core indicator of value. Isn’t the alternative a long tail of failing businesses that didn’t develop?

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@stevesi Put GPT in a sports jacket and companies will ignore it just the same? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@stevesi Already feels that the current ChatGPT can provide meaningful proposals for market strategies across a few industries. Even going as far as to offer follow-up responses to Qs

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@sama Ensure snipping of output at appropriate point. Saving dialogs. Restarting dialogs with context.

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@sama Would this also affect responses for examples? Thinking about vaguaries such as ‘customer use-cases’, but asking for specific examples

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@P_Ensarguet @washingtonpost I found brown noise a little clinical, but stormy sea, heavy rain and gusting wind helpful for that natural low rumble

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@rrhoover YouTube should lean into providing a discussion around content. Twitter as the jumping off point for content discovery and news debate is at risk.

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@RJFWhite Yeah I have no idea why USD is getting attention. A bin packed asset format wrapped in ZIP? Ok. What about focusing on reusable systems of execution like physics, lighting, or consistent shaders?

[Simon Dowling @spDowling]

@saschasegan Im not sure how they will expand the relay and dispatch backend globally. Globalstar uses FocusPoint International for their SPOT products, but that’s an extra subscription. Apple only had RapidSOS locally to relay to emergency services for existing sos.
