A Brief History of Intelligence by Max Bennett. One of the best books I've read in years.

If google wants to flex their AI muscle and avoid all these issues, how about a version of Maps that I can have a conversation with when it's navigating me somewhere? "Be quiet until I get onto I5", "how much slower is the 405 bridge?", etc, all seem doable and issue free.

My jokey solution to the Fermi paradox is that really great VR causes civilizations to plateau before they can figure out interstellar travel. But maybe not at $3500/pair.
Can we please make sure that whatever regulatory body we form to police AI and blow up data centers has "Turing" in the name?

@AWSSupport I'm seeing some networking issues in us-west-2. Is that on your radar? Looks like other people are too: downdetector.com/status/aws-…

I really like Eames, myself. They did a ton more than just the chair: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charle…
I attribute all my success as a software engineer to spending way too much time looking at dashboards.

beta.openai.com/docs/guides/… is probably the easiest.
