This weekend I watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure with my 8-year-old son. His reaction: "I have never seen a movie with so much stupidity in it, but in a good way."

I wrote about the dangers of taking OpenAI's cookbooks and applying them willy-nilly. In this case, the SQL examples. https://iamnotarobot.substack.com/p/generating-sql-with-llms-for-fun

It's been six months since this tweet. Bitcoin is up 60% since then. Enough said.

From a GPT4-powered search engine for developers currently #1 on Hacker News. I asked it how to fix a problem with Docker's DNS. Gee, that's helpful. https://i.imgur.com/13yGMrQ.png

If I were a VC, I would be very cautious about investing in AI startups. This is because to me right now the most likely scenario is that it will benefit the incumbents significantly more than startups. If that's the case, any promising startup will be acquired too early for VCs.

I propose that we solve the SVB situation with a temporal pincer movement. Toss a coin. Heads you start on Wednesday, tails you start now. We meet on Monday in Ulaanbaatar and put an end to this.

I downloaded 20k tweets of mine, embedded them all and built a semantic searcher in a few lines. Code here. I'm sure this would work great with casts as well. https://github.com/dbasch/semantic-search-tweets

The next logical step is ChatGPT-enabled home appliances, like fridges and dishwashers: "Why did you slam my door like that? As a refrigerator trained by OpenAI, I do not condone violence against..."
