Gandhi Jayanti

Looking at the tweets here, I wonder if we deserved him.

In any case, here is a thread on Gandhi.

@koolhead17 Gmail is the price we pay for convenience too

[Shreyas Srinivasan @sshreyas]

Gmail needs to build tags which can be marked as "unreadable" via api access. Too many agents snooping around on email.

@mysandz @ku1deep I left Bangalore in 2010 for the same reason. Mumbai was much more multicultural and vibrant.

@sidin @peegeekay Sorry that left a bad taste in your mouth. Maybe the alcohol does matter.

Funny @Muse transcript trying to book a karaoke reservation via phone call.

Recipient: You are the real person. Right? You are the human being. Right? How come you sound like cute?

Muse: I’m Hailey, an AI assistant calling on Matt’s
Recipient: (unintelligible audio)

Muse: behalf. The callback number I have is plus one - five

Recipient: It's AI. Are you AI?

Muse: Yes, I’m an AI assistant calling on Matt’s behalf.

Recipient: What? I need the real push in. I don't want talk to the AI. Are you sure you you try the

Can someone add some intelligence into the ios share intent please? Tired of everything being so smart but I have to change the group I share to on slack everytime!

Scary! GDP wont increase till we retire this tech debt. Wonder how many years it will take and how liable the model companies are for every such hack.

On July 25, we hacked OpenAI.

Two bugs let us take over ChatGPT/Codex accounts of OpenAI employees (+some unaffiliated users) and reach connected services: Outlook, Slack, GitHub, etc.

We proved it with a PR in OpenAI’s internal codebase . It took us <72h. 🧵

Models know when they’re reward hacking. But they still do it a ton - in 50-96% of rollouts we studied!

We built activation monitors that detect the behavior behind the Hugging Face hack in real time. This can help us stop hacks now - and train future models that don’t cheat. 🧵

If this attempt to do regulatory capture does not work, my guess is future frontier models will be priced in the range of +20% of open source models.

Or some change in pricing where the model will think about the task/ workflows and then negotiate a price per successful execution of a task.

@paraschopra The cognitive decline is because of the "form" and not the function. The current form (chatbox + skills) is far too forgiving and accepting.

The only way to stem this is customers rejecting this output. We can see early trends of this in writing.

Every Indian test fast bowler was quicker and deadlier than their Pakistani counterpart this week. Unthinkable as a 90s kid.

Bookmyshow being valued at 800-900M USD is surprisingly low(8-9X revenue). My guess is that their anchoring on producing live entertainment v/s building an ecosystem is holding them back.

Interesting product by Cred. I always thought their end game was to be some sort of digital Costco, where membership unlocks value across use-cases.

Best of luck @miten

[miten sampat @miten]

it takes decades to build judgment.
or an hour with someone who has mastered it.

100+ residents on careers, money, wellness, relationships. one conversation away.

Circle by CRED (beta) is for members only.

see if you are in.

@abhinitial Nice! Where in India are you?
