In this Generative AI wave, there's a lot of speculation about which tasks AI will be good for. I think there's one pattern that distinguishes tasks that are "practically useful" for AI to complete from ones that are not. I call it "hard to explain, easy to verify". 1/n

As a result of corporate due diligence, as well as the latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and alleged US agency investigations, we have decided that we will not pursue the potential acquisition of FTX.com.

1/ First off, I have a lot of sympathy for everyone involved in the current situation with FTX - it's stressful any time there is potential for customer loss.

1) Hey all: I have a few announcements to make. Things have come full circle, and FTX.com’s first, and last, investors are the same: we have come to an agreement on a strategic transaction with Binance for FTX.com (pending DD etc.).
