Here’s an argument that AI runs out of steam in the medium future, plateauing in ability gain

While this matters when considering the most extreme AI risks, we don’t need any AI capabilities past those we have today to have major disruption (good & bad) to work & education, etc.

I keep seeing my various AI experiments reused by AI Influencers ("Ten shocking things GPT will do!"), especially my stuff with Code Interpreter.

The lack of attribution is not an issue, but I wish they'd include the prompts from my original threads so people can see what to do.

the eccentricity of a brand should map to how often people interact with it

if often: calmer and more conventional, if less often: eccentric and unique

e.g. boutique hotels and restaurants can/should have highly memorable design language because you don't spend much time there

Cargo Cult Entrepreneurship: Founders often start by copying other successful startups. This works when markets are stable & lessons clear, but in rapidly changing markets, it leads "superstitious learning" where founders copy the wrong things, assuming they are the key to win

Too many folks make AI seem hard. Two rules to get started:
1) If you have $40/month to spare, subscribe to ChatGPT Plus for GPT-4 & Midjourney for art. Otherwise Bing Creative Mode does OK art + GPT-4 for free
2) Prompting is 80% experience. Learn by trying AI for all your tasks

Remove the bad stuff first: "Many good events can overcome the psychological effects of a single bad one. When equal measures of good and bad are present, however, the psychological effects of bad ones outweigh those of the good ones."

You need ~5x more good to outweigh the bad.
