AI demands that you helpfully batch cook muffin tin quiches for new breastfeeding mums in your community ➡ fast easy protein; everyone else in the meal train (volunteer organised by invisible women's labour, usually) brings dinner. Freeze half, deliver in gallon ziplock bags ✨

This is the first time I've experienced a real-world consequence for an LLM hallucination. Anyone have any good recipes that use a few dozen eggs???

incredible tweet - way way way ahead of its time
Unlike most people on Twitter, I’m actually using GPT3 in a production system. The mistake people are making is they are asking “how can I use this to automate a smart person’s job”, when they should be asking “what would I do if I had unlimited dumb people”

Today’s PHP security risks got me thinking about how I could have been more vulnerable with you. Perhaps we can patch things up and be there 4 one another.

quite literally the most skillfully designed quote tweet I have ever seen
Hi, sorry to call at such short notice but our sketch artist has fallen ill, was wondering if you could step in, it says on your profile that you do sketch work... Well I normally only draw Giraffes but I guess how hard can it be, sure I'll do it.

I always thought a guest WiFi network was dumb. After cracking into my tv like a walnut with nothing but WiFi I no longer think this You’ll get the 2.5ghz channel and you’ll like it
Having Claude build me a smart home Mac tool and my biggest takeaway is to never give anyone WiFi access to my home ever again

Everyone wants to tell me how great their office pantry is but after the Bloomberg pantry nothing can surprise me. The Bloomberg pantry is the size of a small regional airport. The Bloomberg pantry has a fresh peanut butter machine and matcha on tap. The Bloomberg pantry makes the Thrive Capital pantry look positively soviet. Its memory will drive you to tears whenever you visit another newsroom

Claude: proves the Jacobian conjecture. GPT6: solves Navier-Stokes and 100 other advanced theorems. Siri: "Sure, I'll add 'set a five minute timer' to your contacts"
