Almost spat my morning tea out seeing you here. Like bumping into Taylor Swift at Walmart. Welcome!

Q1: Have you written or would you consider writing an autobiography?

Q2: Would you opt for brain preservation if you thought it was feasible?

Nailed quite a few aspects of actual modern office spaces. Looks like they’re all on Teams calls.

Fully agree. There was a golden era on Twitter when I was following conversations amongst scientists & engineers and it felt line I’d tapped into a party line at the knowledge frontier. You could sense progress being incremented. That’s mostly missing here.

I’ve seen this on a smaller scale at work. I have a library of Python scripts created over the years to help with file & data analysis. But recently I just use chatGPT to generate them and haven’t bothered to save them knowing I’ll be able to quickly recreate them on the fly.

Quite terrifying to see the extreme end of Projection 2025 being discussed for real by the elite right. Steve Bannon’s nutty, evangelical “renewal from chaos and destruction”.

Why is this whacky? Anthropic are trying to bake responsible values and behaviour into their model in an open and transparent way. 100s of millions of people interact with these models every day - their behaviour has real world consequences (ref Grok).

X was effervescent, I miss it - but eventually the grimness drowned it out; an infinite-scroll snuff movie.

We wete too shell shocked with our new born to make a complaint - but of course we ignored her advice.

I remember after the birth of our first child, 20 years ago, the health care visitor advised us against the MMR.
