We were walking with a friend’s 3yo in “pedestrian friendly” downtown Carmel. There were so many driveways* we couldn’t let her get ahead of us. On the sidewalk.
* Parking minimums: Mandated pedestrian conflict points so no motorist will ever have to walk more than a few steps.

Language Model: *finds cure for cancer*
AI Commentator: "actually, if you look at the cure, it's just a statistical remix of ideas that were in the training data. You see, the model isn't actually intelligent, it just predicts the next token one at a time."

Beta Alia just did something pretty astounding. The longest battery-electric aircraft flight ever. 386 miles. (Also, a great little bio on one of their engineers.) This company is the leader in electric flight and it seems like no one knows about them.

I once asked a native Hawaiian journalist if there was any independence movement in Hawaii. He gave me a withering look and calmly explained that the statehood referendum passed with 93% in favor.

Periodic reminder that NIMBY cranks blaming "transplants / recent arrivals" for all the bad changes recently is specious. The Good Old Days used to have MANY, MANY more people moving

I find it so fascinating how fine the line is between the world being changed or not.

I'm pretty convinced, based on my reading of the GPT-4 technical report and Altman's subsequent interviews, that OpenAI's GPT models have a lot more performance on tap than they actually poured with GPT-4. They are slow walking this to manage take-off risks, I think.
