Also also, anyone remember that this is what social media/microblogging used to be? Instead of what it has become now?

I know I sound like an old man doing these "journal" type posts about walking on social media but this is also helping in a way.
Also I am an old man :D)

Yup. A while ago though. Great writing. I love most of Aaron Sorkin's writing. :)

Something about a character in The West Wing? (Great show btw, one of the best, but I forgot the character names, except President Bartlett?) :)

I know it’s not wise to use medical/human biology terms in relation to #AI but I still find it fascinating how they somewhat mirror the effect of junk information on human minds.

It’s another instance of the “garbage in, garbage out” idea but also something more. They found that that even after fine-tuning, the brain rot persisted, showing lingering effects of the junk data used in pre-training. A cognitive decline of sorts.

The choice of junk data was from Twitter - posts with "high engagement" and short, "shallow" (M1) and low semantic quality, i.e. "posts full of clickbait language" (M2). Yeah that checks out... 😆

This is adorable! And what a nice handwriting. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they take notes :)

Is it agreeing too quickly to my idea? How much of this response could be influenced by previous questions I may have asked? Does anything seem too perfect? If it’s too good to be true, it should ring alarm bells. 🤨 🤨 🤨

E.g. - I want A “but” the with the constraint B or I want X “while also” satisfying conditions Y and Z etc. And then I of course have to carefully review the response with a critical eye:
Does it make sense, given what I know already? Is it confirming my biases in anyway?

Especially when working through complex problems, being as clear as possible in the prompt makes a huge difference. It doesn’t have to be grammatically perfect, although that helps in other ways. But stating clear goals, providing context, constraints to follow, and caveats go a long way.

I don't think I have any public photos after 2015. I'd like to believe I stopped aging after that 🤣.

(Btw - your hair is very striking, it catches the eye!)

Exactly! I had a similar experience. I had spent some time on some personal interests and when I tried getting suggestions/ideas for work-related task it kept bringing up some of those interests.
