@omarsar0 So unfortunate considering the value you add to their platform

maybe it's time for a switch. it's disappointing to be forced away from the platform like this

customer service from openai sucks really bad! my dev account has been suspended on strange usage that i had no clue where it was coming from i had reported it and asked openai for help. they sent me a generic email with steps like enabling MFA but didn't even bother to help with figuring out the strange activity that was happening with my account then after a few days, they suspended my account based on that reported usage which they labeled as misuse i still have no clue what it was because you can't really see it on the dashboard i reached out to customer service for help again and they took almost 15+ days just to tell me that they are keeping my account suspended without any details or help at all would really appreciate it if someone at openai could help me gain access back to my account or help me figure out things many folks know that i've been a huge advocate for the OpenAI APIs so this is really disappointing i don't think this is the way to treat one of your biggest users/devs

@ThreatNotation CODA?

My personal favorite memory with this community is when we helped buy a kid a professional-level oboe. Or when we helped crowdfund a guy’s tuition for violin-making school. Love to you all. I’ll update when/if I move elsewhere.

I will no longer be posting on this account. This is because Elon Musk has made this site unpleasant to use and because I do not want to be associated with his product. Thank you all for years of community, laughs, music, and learning.

@Evil_Mog I just tend to overreport. “‘Mandatory training’? I’m reporting this.”

@karpathy It’s not just parAInoia?

What is the name for the paranoid feeling that what you just read was LLM generated

@scottbraddock Going to the game?

@Scobleizer @pierre_vannier A beautiful and inspiring structure. I was inside MemChu when the Loma Prieta earthquake struck in 1989.

Stanford’s Memorial Church with a dance class in front. Spiritual heart of Silicon Valley. Was giving a tour to @pierre_vannier who was visiting last week. I thought ChatGPT had the history wrong. I thought it was a memorial to their son, who died tragically. But I was wrong. Been reading about its history. Was partially destroyed in 1906 earthquake. quake06.stanford.edu/centennial/tou…

@JoyceCarolOates Men have exactly one accessory with which to accentuate our wardrobes… watches. I am not brave enough to try necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, so I do have a modest collection of different looks to sport on my wrist!

what is this distinctly male predilection for amassing watches? can't be a way of seeming to control--by "owning"--time; a way for well-to-do megalomaniacs to stave off quite normal fears of mortality by coming into proud possession of trinkets of "conspicuous consumption" when elsewhere in the world suffering fellow humans have no watches nor even wrists to wear them on. how explain?

@OutsidetheBoxHK @BrianRoemmele To me, the power is more about interpretation than impersonation

@kurtado @BrianRoemmele enter the actors / impersonators

I have 30 years as a student of Facial Action Coding System (FACS) by Paul Ekman. FACS is a framework for categorizing facial expressions. It identifies specific facial muscle movements, called Action Units.I taught YOUR AI to read faces like this. You will never need to—guess.

@omarsar0 @shervinea Good one. Looking forward to this as a visual learner and teacher

Really enjoying this visual study guide on Transformers and LLMs. It contains a very concise overview of the key concepts in Transformers and LLMs. Topics range from embeddings to attention mechanism to post-training techniques. Thanks for the great book @shervinea and @afshinea!

@vxunderground The wings are quite a ways behind you; you’re actually strapped to the fuselage

Airliners now let you sit on the wings of the aircraft (or maybe this is a bug in the ticket purchasing software, hard to tell)

@elchefe What’s Twitter

Twitter is closing its SF office and looking to hire 300 people in the austin/bastrop area. My far off notions of moving away from austin just became a lot less far off.

Very cool to meet @doctorow at @defcon and talk about #enshittification IRL

@dieworkwear Now I’m a little confused because I thought you said not to wear black shirts with jackets…? But of course this is Jimi…

an extremely easy way to make a suit look more interesting is to not wear a dark worsted biz suit with a white shirt and no tie (pic 1). instead, play with pattern, material (linen, cotton, gab), or color (cream, taupe, mauve). and wear a more interesting shirt (rayon, Western)

@tylerhannan Fortunately socks are easiest to procure? I’d go for Statue of Liberty. Good luck

For years I've said the most important thing when traveling is extra meds, and extra undergarments & socks. So...guess who is stuck in NYC with old socks ;(

@wfaaweather That’s what I like to call “San Francisco Weather” - 59° every day!

Calendar flips to December on Friday, but not a lot of winter on the way over the next 14 days. A lot of decent weather to start December. Just not very winter-like anytime soon. #wfaaweather

@wfaaweather Who misses the heat already??

It's time we start discussing your tender vegetation! Have you started thinking about how you're going to protect it? Many in North Texas will see a freeze Tuesday morning and nearly everybody will on Wednesday morning. Don't say you weren't warned! #wfaaweather

@kwestin My a*hole friends would ask if that is indeed a baby sh*t yellow SG?

It followed me home can I keep it?

@InternetH0F @bphrist That’s exactly what an AI would say

@bphrist what’s wrong w my finger man :(

Did that. 😤 #GoStanford
