@chrija Who?

So we need 12 individuals who neither love nor hate Trump. This would be a good time to check if there's been any progress at SETI.

@evnsio @NotionHQ status.notion.so My guess is the problem is wider than just edits.

Anyone else seeing issues with @NotionHQ?

@lawrjones @sjwhitworth @evnsio @incident_io @revcd Please make the form of explanations user configurable 😀

@sjwhitworth @evnsio @Spjer @incident_io You mean remove the “remember Lawrence is a pretty cool guy” part of the prompt? In all seriousness, I considered feature flagging the prompt earlier this week so as @revcd was testing, I could inject things like “explain yourself using limericks” at random intervals.

This is awesome @incident_io

@chrija @ylecun @pmarca @ESYudkowsky @tegmark AFAIK his take is that they will be under our control. It seems naive to me. Even if true, not all humans are aligned . So who controls them will be extremely important.

@Spjer @ylecun @pmarca @ESYudkowsky @tegmark @ylecun thinks that AGI is attainable …

I’d genuinely love to hear a coherent refutal of “AI doomerism”. I’d love for @ylecun and @pmarca to be right, but while @ESYudkowsky, @tegmark and others convincingly lay out the case for AI risks in a lot of detail, I have not yet seen anything comparable from the other side. All I’ve seen are “arguments” like “it doesn’t live”, “it won’t have its own goals” or “it doesn’t want to dominate” - without any serious attempts to refute the specific arguments by @ESYudkowsky and others.

In hindsight; something had to give. A non-profit dedicated to beneficial AI for humanity, running a for-profit SV style startup, spitting out products, moving fast and occasionally breaking things. Not a stable bond.

@jeppehb I don’t think it will come from Sam. At least not if he headed the for profit direction and ms deals.

@Spjer I see no path to your optimistic take. Openness will not come from OpenAI, but it may come from Sam

My optimistic take: this will make OpenAI actually open. Opening up access to their models and leaving the building of marketable apps to startups. My pessimistic take: this will slow down OpenAI and not change the current approach to gen ai, which is big corp consolidation.

@nikstep R&D

What to call a combined product, design and engineering org if not “product” and “technology”?

I just migrated our status page to @incident_io Smoothest migration ever. Took me 10 minutes and we keep our history. Good job!

For all companies going forward: AI or die

@nikstep Matter will solve this over time no? Assuming they support any smart standard ofc.

All lamp manufactures should add support for HomeKit.

'tis the season for broken inflated egos

@rsg By no metric that's important to Disney did the sequels fail. They are among the top grossing Star Wars movies. Bob Iger once said: "We have no obligation to make art. We have no obligation to make history. We have no obligation to make a statement. But to make money..."

Why did Disney’s attempt at a Star Wars sequel trilogy so entirely fail? Despite being the biggest budget movies of the past decade: Because Disney never understood what they were purchasing from George Lucas

Twitter is so boring now. Where’s the drama? All I get is right wing nuts and motivational speakers… I long for the chaos.

@NickdotMulder @robindchnt Agree. Forces frugality and focus on good fundamentals.

@robindchnt Both :) In this case I think both is better. You should be able to get to profitability in B2B within 18 months. There is a new focus on cash flow we haven’t seen in a long time.

What pre-seed round would you recommend a first-time founder in B2B SaaS in today's environment?

As with all things, the impact of ChatGPT will short term be lower than enthusiastic people proclaim. And the long term impact will be substantially higher than skeptics think.

I’m asking our new overlords to show me recipes for holiday themed pizzas and it’s majestic.

Asking ChatGPT to do ASCII art is a trip.
