    I’m a technology optimist. However, technology claiming to accelerate learning always gives me pause. I think this is great as a gateway to learning, but if you just stop there, it’s edutainment. There seems no way around struggling when actually learning. https://x.com/anabology/status/2112601639672566182

    Waiting for someone to point out that “how your date treats the waiter” and “how they treat AI in chat” are the same test. https://x.com/solomonstre/status/2112930796894134336

    One crucial role of art in society is to help everyone process the emotions of change. It&amp;#39;s therapy for an ever-changing world. Artists that long for influence and renown, but don&amp;#39;t deeply understand the technology nor the medium are missing out on their chance to speak to all. https://x.com/anabology/status/2113239948144890235

    If GPU and memory prices keep holding steady or keeps going up, finance people will start to invent financial instruments backed by hardware and trade them. But not if crypto people get there first, if they hadn&amp;#39;t already. 😆

    Honestly, I&amp;#39;d been thinking about how water heaters should have an API and should be more accessible to in-home local agents. So it shouldn&amp;#39;t have been a leap for me to make a joke about getting someone to make this. But alas, the people actually making stuff beat me to the punch. https://x.com/heatbit_com/status/2113299631010676766

    What happened to those retro frontier models only trained on text pre-1900s? Let’s see if they can make discoveries in chemistry and discover quantum physics as a possibility. Where do they miss? Are there alternative tracks to the tech tree that we missed? https://x.com/emollick/status/2115066250938192118

    It’s a computational notebook, where all cells are running all the time. Fascinatingly, the UI is the code, adorned with small widgets. I think legibility could be improved for other users, but this points to possibilities in other domains.
