Steve jobs, 15 years ago, on buying/acquiring Siri and the importance of Apple getting a head start in the AI field (D8 conference, 2010):

It is quite strange that many now have the view that all forms of passion or dedication represent a degree of neurosis or hypomania that must warrant medication. Feels somewhat socially soul-obliterating - as if constant indifference or nonchalance is the healthiest state to be.

I guess there’s maybe a world where we’re able to hold each other through it all. Sometimes I think I’d really rather be in that world, but who knows.

What the fuck happened to Claude lately?

Actually believable human behavior in the pre-smartphone era. How times have changed.

Often the greatest tragedy of all in love loss is not that someone has turned out to be different than you thought, but rather that there is an ideal that you fell for that does not exist. The ache then exists in mourning the absence of the perceived ideal, not the person.

One could argue that delve is now back in action.

There’s a world where well-thought out and structured voice memos become much higher signal than they currently are because of LLMs.

Does someone have pre-LLM material that Pangram detects as AI written?

One thing about the voice note discourse is that while it’s ultimately a personal preference, many of the busiest and most successful people you meet will prefer VNs for catching up if they consider you a friend. Texting becomes mainly for formal, tone-irrelevant communications. Judging all VNs as low-yield communication is therefore a bit of a narrow view.

On the other hand, Jensen Huang says that you take what works best and make yourself fall in love with perfecting your craft/the work.

You are capable of much more than you think. This applies to doing both, good and bad. Steer yourself accordingly and do great things.

Pros: provides a framework that can allow one to identify certain patterns of behaviour and thus, navigate them better, whether in oneself or others. Cons: one can get fixated on the identity of labels - this can hinder growth. E.g., “it is just the BPD/OCPD/avoidant tendencies”

What does contentment look like for you?

Everyone mocking this gentleman needs to examine what has gone so wrong as to make them feel the need to do this. Keep up the good work! It takes a lot of time and effort to build yourself as a trusted figure in any domain.

It is looking increasingly likely that social platforms where you need to verify that the content/video is not AI before every post will become a thing in the future.

AI might only widen the gap between experts and non-experts, rather than help close it.
