"The idea that James Bond could be made politically correct is almost comical. I think that has to be resisted. Books have to come to us from their time and be of their time, and if that’s difficult to take, don’t read them."

Gosh, @bchesky (https://nitter.moomoo.me/bchesky)'s "Right to build new products" has been engrained in my head the last few days. It's such a subtle and succinct way to convince yourself to focus and listen to users. You should be so good that your users are begging you to invent the next thing.

There wasn’t a public dataset for measuring global entrepreneurship, and we were frequently asked for one. Today we are launching first draft of the Entrepreneurship Index.

Corollary: an artist whose work is easy to fake isn't good. Or more precisely, didn't always do good work.
**Response to @paulg:**
For this reason, it's much harder to fake the work of a really good artist. To create a convincing fake, you not only have to copy that artist's style, but you also have to paint as well as a really good artist. It's like having to fake a 100m by Usain Bolt.

There's an interesting trick for detecting whether a painting is correctly attributed, but it only works for very good artists: is it good enough to be by him?
11 yo and I were singing on the way to school this morning, and it occurred to us that we were not singing on the way to school in January, when it was freezing and dark as night.

If I was a Russian nuclear strategist today, I would be very worried. You just received proof of concept that Western air and missile defenses can intercept 100% of your tactical nuclear delivery vehicles (SRBM, BM, aircraft) in a time-coordinated, multi-vector attack.

AI “factfulness” does seem to be improving in newer models, even for subjects where the consensus of training data would push the AI to be wrong.
For example, GPT-3.5 believed “learning styles” were real, a common myth shared by most educators👇. Now, GPT-4 & Bard get it right.

It was weird to be thinking, as I was typing this, that it would seem to some people an explosively controversial statement. It wouldn't have been when I was a kid. There are so many statements in this category lately.

It would be fascinating if the most important thing about Brexit, historically, turned out to be its interaction with the AI revolution. But history often surprises you like that.
