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.

When young founders build something that they don't want themselves but that they believe some group of other people want, 90% of the time they're building something no one wants.

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

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.

I think this illustrates one of the key features of AI that people don’t yet get: it is fully capable of learning from failure & trying again until it gets something right.

Here’s an hour-long webinar we did yesterday with Harvard on AI & teaching, focusing on how AI will impact classrooms, and the ways teachers can use it to boost learning and reduce their workload. Lots of live demos!

Wow, chegg recent earnings said that ChatGPT is having an impact on their growth…
