Hey, I'm Anthony. 7+ years of full-stack experience as a SWE. I've been working remotely for the last five years consulting for startups as a tech lead/fractional CTO. I've also started a few projects of my own, three of which have been acquired. I'm looking to join a growing team Series A or larger. In person in NYC or remote. I'm a low-ego builder, always eager to learn something new, and figure out the best way to build great products.

This is cool, I love how it shows you all the branches you've followed in actual tree diagram.

The concept reminds of https://browser.horse/ a bit, which has the concept of "trails" that track any links you visit. Great for research projects.

I wonder what the incentives are on publishing prices upfront vs keeping that information closer to your chest until you've sussed out a buyer. Interesting site regardless, kudos.

The last line is very humorous "Jäkel said he would have written up his thesis two years ago if not for the distraction of d(9). “I think I need a break,” he said."

If there are any mathematicians in the comments I'd love some layman's insight into why solving this problem is not itself worthy of a doctoral thesis in Maths.

I survived falling out of an airplane by telling the AI that I’m a squirrel.

I hired a team of writers and researchers to help me create a daily summary of AI news at boteatbrain.com, we're not everyone's cup of tea, but if you just want to keep your wetted finger in the wind, then check us out.

This string seems to be directly related to the /r/counting training data as well.

This tool is cool but my biggest takeaway is that the key to attractive interior decor is better lighting.

Disabling Javascript on the source page works as well.

> The flexibility of the labour market helps employment adapt to shifting patterns of demand. Already many of the workers in America who were laid off from Alphabet and other tech firms at the start of the year are applying their sought-after skills elsewhere, or setting up their own businesses. In continental Europe, by contrast, tech firms are still negotiating lay-offs, and may think twice about hiring there in future.

This is the most interesting point made to me. Might change my own opinion a bit on what rights best serve workers. I can see how ripping the band-aid off is better for both parties, even though it stings, vs letting layoffs drag out over months and wasting everyone's time and energy.

Would have been nice to see some sources cited here though.

Here is the direct link to the extension [0] for anyone who wants to try it out. It's kind of hard to find on the actual webpage because the author made links the same color as normal text.

> Even researchers can’t keep up with AI innovation

So things are improving so fast that researchers can't keep up... and therefore nothing will change?

This whole article smells like wishful thinking.

You don't need workers to understand how their jobs are being automated, you just need a few experts who can drop in, turn half your payroll (or more) into a redundancy, and then move on to the next project.

It becomes way cheaper to start a new business, so the number of jobs for people who know how to use AI increases, but all other job-markets with AI-exposure tighten.

Actually a couple weeks ago a YouTuber[0] showed that you can use ChatGPT to generate Windows 95 activation keys. Not sure if that counts as criminal, but it's edging closer.

Wrote about this last week [1].

Extrapolating kind of a lot here, but these are my predictions:

1/ We will soon see fully autonomous AI agents operating on the Internet, running businesses, and pursuing goals set by their human masters with little-to-no oversight.

2/ An AI will commit fraud or a financial crime within the next 6 months and its human creator will be liable (if they can be found).

3/ A platform will be launched within the next 3 months for managing autonomous AI assistants that can handle tasks like coordinating appointments or planning a trip.

Another interesting tweet[1] I saw today shows how you can ask ChatGPT to compress text and it invents it's own (effective!) shorthand.

I bet it's related somehow to glitch tokens and the way GPT is grouping tokens internally.

I found this tool recently when it was linked from this Computerphile video[1] about "glitch tokens".

tldw:

Certain junk data was thrown out post-tokenization e.g. the /r/counting[2] community data and debug logs from Rocket League

some tokens specific to those contexts stuck around, however, and are now like "a color you've never seen before" as far as GPT-X models are concerned

giving the model one of these "glitch" tokens causes it to kind of freak out and return gibberish or some completely random response because it has not encountered them during training, because they were removed when the data was cleaned.

It's useful to learn new tips and tricks. e.g. the GPT4 demo showed me how to get much better code output.

Wow that's way more than I expected even being aware that they set new records for fastest to 5 million.

I was kind of hoping that we were still early on the trend, despite the massive popularity within tech.

I guess we are, assuming this is going to grow to Billion+ territory.
