It was foreseeable and only a matter of time. Soon we will be able to prompt our own series and films, and even computer games. Something like: "Create me a horror movie that has a protagonist who suffers from depression and is in love with the daughter of a rich family" - and the AI will create it. The same with computer games.
Movies and games are becoming something very individual. It is exciting to see how the costs will be. If it no longer requires actors, if it no longer requires video game programmers, but only an AI that has costs for generating the games and films, how cheap or expensive will it be?
Culturally, too, completely new questions arise: if we all watch different things, will there still be cinemas? Will "watching movies" even have the character of a social element, or will we become culturally isolated?
What about violence? Pornography? If no real people suffer, no one is harmed, what is the limit of what can be shown?
All in all, completely new ethical questions are arising. And to be honest, we should address these questions sooner rather than later. The time to debate them socially is now.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang: “I really discourage 1-on-1s”

Jensen famously has 60 direct reports. When Stripe founder Patrick Collison points out that this isn’t conventionally considered best practice, Jensen shares his reasoning:

“I don’t do 1-on-1s, and almost everything I say, I say to everybody all the time. I don’t really believe there’s any information that I operate on that only one or two people should hear about… I believe that when you give everybody equal access to information, that empowers people. And so that’s number one… Number two, if the CEO’s direct staff is 60 people, the number of layers you’ve removed in a company is probably something like seven.”

Patrick offers to steal man the other side of the argument:

“1-on-1s are where you provide coaching, where you maybe talk through personal goals and career advancement, where maybe you give feedback on something that you see somebody systematically not doing so well… Do you not do those things or do you do them in a different way?”

Jensen responds:

“I give you feedback right there in front of everybody. In fact, this is a really big deal. First of all, feedback is learning. For what reason are you the only person who should learn this?… We should all learn from that opportunity… Half the time I’m not right, but for me to reason through it in front of everybody helps everybody learn how to reason through it. The problem I have with 1-on-1s and taking feedback aside is you deprive a whole bunch of people that same learning. Learning from other people’s mistakes is the best way to learn.”

ChatGPT system message prompt for GPT-4o has been updated with instructions for Advanced Data Analysis V2, using "I REPEAT" to make sure the instructions are followed exactly

```
Use ace_tools.display_dataframe_to_user(name: str, dataframe: pandas.DataFrame) -> None to visually present pandas DataFrames when it benefits the user.

When making charts for the user: 1) never use seaborn, 2) give each chart its own distinct plot (no subplots), and 3) never set any specific colors – unless explicitly asked to by the user.

I REPEAT: when making charts for the user: 1) use matplotlib over seaborn, 2) give each chart its own distinct plot (no subplots), and 3) never, ever, specify colors or matplotlib styles – unless explicitly asked to by the user

I just generally love the idea of this product, but I was trying to work out what was so refreshing about this and I think it’s that finally someone in tech isn’t cosplaying Steve Jobs from 2007.

Instead he’s cosplaying Steve from 1980.

This is, counterintuitively, progress.
