Every year I give a talk to the company, and every year I dread putting it together.
This year, I got some help from my AI terrarium. New unlock 😄

At least once a year @craigmod and I invite remarkable people to walk a week with us. It's always one of the best weeks of the year. We just wrote up a small free booklet that tells you everything we know on how to do your own "walk and talk." kk.org/thetechnium/files/202…

"S3 economics" was one of the founding principles of @MaterializeInc: teapawt.net/narayanarjun/status/11…
We don't talk about it much—it's an implementation detail!—but it's part of what makes Materialize fundamentally viable. Cool to see how sharply the whole industry has turned in this direction.
S3 is increasingly becoming the default storage layer for cloud infrastructure. I wrote notes on this trend, its benefits, its challenges, its early adopters, and the opportunity it presents for new startups to disrupt large infrastructure categories

I’m sorry, I simply cannot be cynical about a technology that can accomplish this.

OpenAI’s new ChatGPT appears to defeat Hofstadter/Bender’s list of hallucination-inducing questions, published in The Economist this June to demonstrate the “hollowness” of GPT-3’s understanding of the world: economist.com/by-invitation/…

This weekend I built =GPT3(), a way to run GPT-3 prompts in Google Sheets.
It's incredible how tasks that are hard or impossible to do w/ regular formulas become trivial.
For example: sanitize data, write thank you cards, summarize product reviews, categorize feedback...

A perfect, un-excerpt-able summary of what the last week felt like. Coalesce was a great time. Burning Man for nerds. Go the next chance you get. And be grateful for Tristan (whose DNA is at the core of it all) and the best Community+DevEx teams around.
