This is cool. I've already kinda OD'd on all the GPT Chat examples people are tweeting but this one's actually compelling in a substantive way vs. just a novelty.

Seems like the group that might be most impacted by new wave of AI are ... interns 😢 Many tasks interns do are "hard to automate/scale," but "repetitive/boring," and "low/medium need for domain expertise." That's where the new tools seem to do well. Are interns doomed?

Isn't it kind of sad when certain job listings in tech, startups, or VC specify "banking or consulting" as a good background for a candidate? I get those are good training grounds, but isn't that low-key discouraging uncredentialed talent with big upside?

I have a beautiful ritual with my 8 year old. She bikes, I run alongside her ... and she pours out all the conspiracy theories, fake science, and doubtful "fun facts," she's been learning about on YouTube.

To be fair, I used to devour books about bigfoot, Lochness, and other cryptozoology & urban legends, so I just think it's funny and trains her critical thinking, I hope :)

How long until there’s a certification/label for art, music, writing — maybe even code — that is human-made as opposed to machine (AI-generated)?

This is a great point. I'd add audio. AV is trapped in the internet like oil before fracking. Finding the right videos or audio clips is being back on the 1997 internet. Try it: search for a specific sound-byte across podcasts, look for videos in which X person appears.

Internet users consume way more video than text, yet the web's core infrastructure is still built around text. What does the web of video look like? At a minimum, we need better search engines. This is one of the most interesting domains to apply AI breakthroughs today.

This image makes me feel slightly anxious but more importantly changed how I think about the planet. It's like we have excreted an exoskeleton of junk, didn't know there was so much of it (image shows man-made stuff in low-earth orbit).

This is an accomplished artist with serious credits on films/games (imdb.com/name/nm4729792/), endorsing the power of AI tools to enhance/complement human creativity, i.e. AI isn't an end-state for human generative capacity but a new beginning

I don't get why people say, "I'm probably dating myself with this reference ..." Either you are old, and people know it. Or you look young for your age and you've given something away. Either way you look insecure about your age and no one is better off.
