I just received a one word email that just said “Thanks!”. The page asked me if I wanted AI to summarize the email.

A few years ago, my friend told me she had pitched to Apple and the feedback was, "Does this *feel* like Apple? We're looking for programming that *feels* like Apple." Between Silo, Severance, Foundation, Pluribus, For All Mankind and now Neuromancer, I'm starting to get the idea of what they meant

AI is disintegrating people’s ability to think critically, retain information and express themselves and your take on this is to give more of it to young students so that none of them “miss out on this privilege”? “Canadians embarrassingly slow to adopt voluntary lobotomies! Mustn’t fall behind!”

13. It would be irresponsible for the City of Vancouver to not look at the merits of adding Bitcoin to the City’s strategic assets to preserve the City’s financial stability. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council direct staff to explore options to make Vancouver a “Bitcoin Friendly City” by undertaking a comprehensive analysis of the potential to integrate Bitcoin into the City of Vancouver's financial strategies, such as (but not limited to) accepting taxes and fees in Bitcoin as well as the potential conversion of a portion of the City’s financial reserves into Bitcoin to preserve purchasing power and guard against the volatility, debasement, and inflationary pressures of traditional currencies;

Why? People are still going! This used to come to dvd six months from now and do gangbusters with everyone who missed it in theatres. The rush to get everything on streaming as quickly as possible makes zero financial sense. Never has.

Listening to a movie podcast where the hosts rant for 15 minutes about a plot point that they completely missed or misunderstood is so frustrating. “I’ll be honest dude, I was on my phone for most of this😎” Then why are you talking about it at all?! Content for the sake of content is breaking me.

If ChatGPT is not consistently dependable, how are we suppose to use it for actual work?
Discussion
It's behavior and results can randomly change due to some OpenAl tweaking that's opaque.
On some days it can't even keep track of a fresh chat, it can't do calculations, it can't sort through a chat to extract relevant information, and when it's suppose to refer to source material in a PDF, it doesn't.
All because OpenAl trained it for fluency and basically to simulate whatever it can for user satisfaction.
I can use it for general chats, philosophical stuff, therapy, but nothing serious. I'm pro Al, but I approach it with skepticism knowing it's undependable (as I do with anything I read).
And prompts can be interpreted/executed differently across users' own interaction with their Als so it's not truly scalable.
How does the business world / leaders expect staff to adopt Al if it's not consistently dependable? It doesn't even calculate like a calculator. If the internet start claiming 2+2=5, that's what it'll answer with.
I'd use it for hobbies and pet projects but I can't imagine using it for anything "mission critical".
