Our new goal is to solve alignment of superintelligence within the next 4 years. OpenAI is committing 20% of its compute to date towards this goal. Join us in researching how to best spend this compute to solve the problem! openai.com/blog/introducing-…

A little weird tho that a private business CAN choose to DENY a customer because he/she is a member of a protected class, but a private university CANNOT choose to ACCEPT a customer because he/she is a member of a protected class.

Remember: the hours-and-views-weighted-average-person is very far from the average-person. Casinos are designed for habitual gamblers, not you. Mobile games are designed for whales, not you. (Netflix is designed for the average person. Per-customer vs per-engagement revenue!)

About nothing in history has been more transformative than the automobile. Yet nothing would have bankrupted you more effectively than an investment in the auto industry. Finance is the graveyard of first order reasoning. (Robert is co-founder of #RWRI)

Photoshop now offers an insanely good built-in AI that can extend photos. I was always unhappy that this Kodachrome from 1975 I took (left) had cut off the circle of the mandala. Now I can fix it (right), Generative Filling it in to the left side and on top, matching film grain.
