we did not have our best last 12 months ever, which is mostly my fault, but we are about to have our best 12 months to date. the team is doing amazing work and i think you’ll be very happy with what they’ve got cooking for you.
i am happy about this for many reasons, but mostly because i care about our users winning. AI has to be about giving lots of people more freedom, agency, and wealth. we want to do the right thing, but we do not want to scare people into doing our thing.
A college professor had just finished explaining an important research project to the class.
He emphasized that the paper was an absolute requirement for passing the class, and that there would be only two acceptable excuses for turning it in late:
1) A medically certified illness.
2) A death in the student's immediate family.
In the back of the room a student raised his hand and asked,
"But what about extreme sexual exhaustion, Professor?"
The class burst into laughter.
When everyone finally quieted down, the professor looked at the student and said:
"Well... I guess you'll have to learn to write with your other hand."
