Screenshot from a story that says:

Large language models are rapidly conquering complex tasks in math and coding, but can still fail at comparatively trivial tasks. Researchers call this contradiction in capabilities the “jagged frontier” of AI.

“It might be a Ferrari in math but a donkey at putting things in your calendar,” said Anastasios Angelopoulos, the CEO and cofounder of LMArena, a popular benchmarking tool.

Excerpt from a Washington Post story about Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza with the following sentence highlighted: This new iteration of Nuzzi, though entertaining, is a backstab not just to her former fiancé, but to all journalists who, toiling for insubstantial compensation, wouldn’t consider getting romantically involved with a source or subject.

The tech supporters — like Siya Raj Purohit, on OpenAI’s edu team — rightly point out that “OpenAI did not invent cheating. People who want to cheat will find a way.” Here’s a fascinating exchange between a top education official and Purohit. “What in the value of an essay?”

In testimony Monday, Microsoft CEO Nadella suggested he was overly enthusiastic about ChatGPT’s potential earlier. “Yeah, I mean, look, that’s called exuberance of someone who has like 3% share, that maybe I’ll have 3.5% share,” Nadella said. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/micr...

I just came across this essay courtesy Anne Helen Peterson and it really is so sad, so haunting and so gorgeous. So much time and potential collectively lost by dieting culture. www.nytimes.com/2020/02/26/style/bo…
