At a birthday party at John Lennon's New York apartment in 1984, Steve Jobs introduced the Macintosh to Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and John Lennon's son, Sean.

The Opus 4.6 system card has some extremely wild stuff that remind you about how weird a technology this is.

These paragraphs are really worth reading.

We’re eager for updates on Tesla Hardware 3—this is what the community wants to know:

• When is FSD 12.6 expected to be available for the Model 3 and legacy Model S/X?

• Can you provide an update on a hardware upgrade for HW3 vehicles, or whether there may be a discount for a new vehicle?

There are millions of HW3 vehicles on the road. Share and spread the word if you’re looking for answers too!

@aelluswamy @elonmusk @Tesla_AI, can you help?

[Will Friedman @willfriedman]

@apartovi Yes they are reaching Microsoft levels of bad branding. Almost.

See you there!

[Will Friedman @willfriedman]

See you all over at Instagram threads!!

#GPT4 saved my dog's life.

After my dog got diagnosed with a tick-borne disease, the vet started her on the proper treatment, and despite a serious anemia, her condition seemed to be improving relatively well.

After a few days however, things took a turn for the worse 1/

Today was perfect for cloud watching in #Seattle.

Noam Chomsky & co-authors opine in today's @nytimes that large language AI models will disappoint us because they don't demonstrate true intelligence. This argument, like the argument that LLMs will not lead to AGI, misses the point. LLMs will still be hugely transformational.

@mattyglesias Not only was he a past candidate, but he is a potential future Democratic candidate, so Republicans attack to weaken his chances, while also trying to damage the Biden administration. Similar to all those Benghazi hearings when Secretary Clinton was in the Obama administration.

The giant difference between ChatGPT and Bing is that you can ask Bing to improve itself!

Point it at an expert source online and tell it to “learn” and the outputs of the AI improve in unexpectedly huge ways. It goes from generic ChatGPT style to something distinct & better.

To make a negotiation work better for everyone, just shut up... for at least 3.5 seconds

A silent pause of that length resets the negotiation, making both parties more deliberative & resulting in better outcomes as both focus on growing the pie for all 🤫https://t.co/UGDRzB7Y8h

#ChatCPT is amazing at many things, but showing accurate guitar tablature is not one of them. Pretty crazy "hallucinations" here. If you can read tabs, try to play this version to get a laugh. Would love to see Paul Simon record this! @emollick #chatgptfail @GaryMarcus

[Ethan Mollick @emollick]

The new Bing version of ChatGPT is very, very interesting.

[Will Friedman @willfriedman]

.@Microsoft should wait until they can offer a new experience to everyone before driving traffic to Bing. There is so much stuff on the Bing result page that even though it provides a similar answer to ChatGPT, it's headache-inducing.

One of the best ways to build math intuition and retain the knowledge is to learn visually. Our new specialization Mathematics for Machine Learning and Data Science has plugins to help you visualize concepts and put them into practice.

Wow, holy shit this is far away from anything else I’ve seen. Insane.
