ChatGPT's new memory-from-your-chats feature is a huge change to how it works, and as a power user who likes to stay in control of the model's input I don't like it at all
Also: “30 messages are good interaction quality (25%); 9 messages are bad interaction quality (7%)” - wow.

Worthwhile article.
"Ensuring California kids receive the most effective reading lessons didn't even merit a discussion among Democrats in the face of union opposition."
The @sfchronicle Editorial Board is over it.
This whole editorial is 🔥, and the literacy portion is nuclear.
“Nearly 60% of our 3rd graders didn’t meet state standards” for ELA.
“Meanwhile, poverty-stricken red states such as Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama have surged ahead of California in childhood literacy after adopting mandatory foundational literacy teaching and training.”

The front page of the leading Hungarian news site today.
A Hungarian software engineer decided to visit his aunt in the US (who lives there on a green card), work remote while visiting, and fly back 2.5 months later (return flight booked)
Interrogated, arrested and sent back.

A 5.2-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday morning, sending boulders tumbling onto rural roadways outside San Diego and elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park scrambling to encircle their young. Officials reported no injuries or major damage.

Btw for anyone saying AI can replace engineers or will replace engineers soon.
If it could, this person would have aced their full-remote job! Instead, they struggled when it came to getting stuff done.
Food for thought on what this actually means in where we are

Today I learned why dropshipping scams work:
Amex refuses to allow filing a chargeback when a webshop scams a customer by advertising an AI-generated image, sending something else... and then offering money back only if paying for shipping + tracking to a warehouse in China

I watched the first episode of Adolescence on Netflix. It’s good. it’s impressive. It’s filmed in a single continuous shot from start to finish. The camera follows the police raid, the arrest of the teenage suspect, the trip to the station, medical checks, the lawyer meeting, and the interrogation. As it weaves through different characters, the details of the case slowly come to light. The story covers one real-time hour, from the early morning raid at 6 a.m. to the interrogation at 7 a.m. The characters, drama, and mystery are all brilliantly portrayed. I have to keep watching this.

New working paper: Could AI leapfrog the web?
Only 37% of sub-Saharan Africans use the internet. Cost is the #1 constraint. In a study with 469 teachers in Sierra Leone, we find AI works better than the web--and is 87% cheaper.

Surprising:
Asked ChatGPT's Deep Research to look up details about a software engineer in tech with a blog, podcast etc. ChatGPT: "I have not been able to find any credible material specifically attributed to someone named X."
Perplexity Deep Research: nailed it.
Wow.

I'm starting to think @DOGE employees don't work 120 hours weeks!
They received $7M to have ChatGPT build them a website embedding a single Twitter feed and nothing else. They've done no real auditing of any government spending.
