Researchers pittted ChatGPT against genuine doctors, using actual patient questions. ChatGPT was more accurate and more empathetic. By a lot. HT @adamcifu jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

The global semiconductor supply chain is complicated. The US 🇺🇸 dominates in design software & chip design (AMD, Nvidia). But Chinese 🇨🇳 (SMIC), South Korean 🇰🇷 (Samsung) and Taiwanese 🇹🇼 (TSMC) firms play a critical role in manufacturing & assembly. @Noahpinion @ElbridgeColby

TikTok maybe started innocently or maybe was a brilliant Trojan Horse—there is 0 doubt it is a tool of the CCP to engineer, influence, make susceptible the beliefs and emotions of US citizens while also censoring info they see + openly surveilling keystrokes + biometrics
TikTok’s CEO testifies in Congress tomorrow amidst mounting evidence of the app’s unacceptable threat to national security. Unsurprisingly, TikTok’s written testimony continues its concerning pattern of misrepresentations and raises additional red flags. d1dth6e84htgma.cloudfront.ne…

As China’s navy continues to expand, there is growing concern over the U.S. Navy’s own capacity. Over the last two decades, the Navy spent tens of billions of dollars on classes of warships that did not pan out. cbsn.ws/3JP9jjA

This is the U.S. defense budget since 1962. You can see a peak under Reagan, and a big peak from 9/11 to the Iraq surge. BUT what if we look closer? I did, and I was a little surprised.

The 🇺🇸 government will spend $858,000,000,000 on defense in 2023. 4% of that will go to startups. Hundreds of founders are now building for the defense sector. From AI & autonomy to space & public safety, here's what this ecosystem looks like today👇 michaelxbloch.com/national-s…

Another win for @OpenAI ChatGPT: It demonstrably helps in going from "blank page" to "something to iterate on" that can accelerate tasks. Son wanted to bring in Advent of Code input to Google CoLab: AI showed how including how to get and use the session cookie needed. Wow!

ChatGPT saved me an hour of spreadsheet work today. It wrote a complex sorting script beyond my ability, explained how it works, and helped me deploy it. The party tricks have been fun, but this was a whoa moment for me similar to the first time I used Google Search.
