Why — in a world where we are all inundated with too much email and we actively try to shield our kids from digital overload — why do I get a dozen emails from my kids' teachers and administrators every week??

Well this is nuts. Looks like Ozempic isn’t just a weight-loss drug but an anti-addiction drug that reduces cravings for food, alcohol, cigarettes… https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2023/05/ozempic-addictive-behavior-drinking-smoking/674098/

The scale of Meta's misallocation of resources is mind-blowing. This is what trying to force technology down consumers' throats looks like.

ChatGPT is insane. I haven’t programmed in like 20 years and I was able to make a chatbot for learning languages with its help.

Craziest moment was pasting the code for this screen and asking for ideas on how to speed it up.

AI bro gave me copy/paste code that 10x’d speed in two seconds.

For as much as ChatGPT is legit mind-blowing sometimes, DALL-E (image generation) is almost amusingly bad in comparison. Left is DALL-E compared to MidJourney on the right, for the same prompt (all of DALL-E's other output was comparable).

How I know my local French baker is legit (also: the croissants, which I’d post a picture of except vacances)
