Trevor<p>Steve Jobs famously said that a computer is a bicycle for the mind. AI and algorithmic social media are cars, recliners, and fast food.</p>
Marcus Hutchins :verified:<p>Had a very surprising ChatGPT experience: asked it to generate a quick summary of the WannaCry ransomware, and instead of referencing the person who stopped it by name, it simply put "(you)". When I asked it how it was able to identify that it was me, it citied its own message as something I'd said.</p><p>After pointing out I didn't say that, it did, ChatGPT replied that it was able to infer it by my account username and what it'd learned from my skillset across various chats. Not 100% sure if that's how it actually did it. Either way, pretty cool, but also a little bit scary.</p><p>It's pretty widely known that many tech companies, especially advertising ones build comprehensive profiles on their users, but it's rare that you get to talk to said profile and figure out what it knows about you.</p>
Rocketman<p>When I was younger, I used to love writing nuanced analysis about complex topics.</p><p>Now that I’m older, I take one look at something and mumble “shit’s fucked up, and capitalism is to blame.”</p><p>I’m probably less wrong more often now.</p>
