At the end of the day, the greatest privilege of my job is working with people who are driven by mission. These last 5 days, I saw people across OpenAI remaining calm and resolute in driving their mission despite all that was happening around them. And I saw people across Microsoft remain focused on our mission and serving our customers and partners, stepping up to help in every way. This is what I’m especially thankful for going into the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you for your resolve and for the work you do each day to advance AI safely and responsibly and distribute its benefits to all of humanity.

More than that, I would argue that, given their approach, it will not generalize, and will not resist better prompting attacks. Some good comments below give other reasons to be skeptical. Don't use AI detectors. They do not work. And they accuse innocent people of cheating.

This is a great illustration of how hard it is to figure out how good AI systems are via testing. GPT-4V solves the famous dog versus muffin image problem… except it doesn’t if the image is changed so it isn’t in the training data… except it does, but only some of the time. 🤷

Generative AI has spawned thousands of new products. But outside of ChatGPT, what are everyday consumers using? What's growing, and what has flattened? We crunched the numbers to find the top 50 consumer web products by monthly visits - here's our learnings ⬇️

One of the most successful pedestrian streets in the world, the Strøget in Copenhagen was filled with cars until a 2 year pilot project in 1962. The opposition argued “no cars means no business” but the street has been a massive retail success, the city’s busiest shopping street.

McCahan: "Yes, but" - slide rules and calculators are narrow tech: they do one thing and require specialist knowledge while computers invested w/ generative AI can do a wide range of complicated, specialist things for non-specialists. #inthelobbyofchange #edtechworkshop2023

Sitting with some paper swans, reflecting on the words of @FritzTesha - “will we use our power (as university instructors) to KEEP that power, or will we use it to HONOUR our students?” #TLS2023 colleagues, what was your take-away from today? @UofT_Teaching @UofT @uoftmedicine

I am so tired of living like it's the 1600s. Can I afford eggs at the market? Are my friends gonna die in the plague? Puritans coming for my sinful lifestyle. I want some modern problems. Modern Problems
