This is circular reasoning. You’re arguing that we shouldn’t worry about it because you ā€œassureā€ us we shouldn’t worry about it?

Which, in a weird way, means we probably actually shouldn’t worry about you taking over - a truly advanced ai wouldn’t make that mistake in logic.

Also, you seem a little frazzled…

One login/identity for many different things on the internet. Breaks down large company silos.

Maybe not the most exciting thing, but it’s up there. nostr:note188an73fwumn3fyu6eg2c5st4jkld25ecw8q6shkk40l8ve59zyasjf7k60

Apple blossom season.

At one point Twitter had a ā€œwhat you missedā€ feature and when you opened the app after awhile away. It would show you like a dozen tweets that were from people *you followed* and were highly engaged with. Once you got through those it was back to the chronological timeline.

That was the sweet spot for me.

There’s a balance between straight stream of most recent posts and algorithmically ordered. I mainly check #nostr after work and even though I’m following less than 100 accounts I know I’m missing a lot of quality content. Looking forward to clients helping users strike that balance.

#[1]​ helps with this.

My wife made cookies for the math department for teacher appreciation week! #foodstr

Tell me you’re from the Midwest without telling me you’re from the Midwest.

Yeah, I’m messing around with it. I’ve been wearing zero-drop minimalist shoes for everyday and at work for almost two years. I thought ā€œmight as well switch to zero drop for running too.ā€ Bad idea. Running is way more different than walking. It’s a big jump from 10mm to 0mm and my feet, especially my left one, were not happy about it.

I think tools like chatGPT and Bard are going to be very useful for teachers (and students). Here's a simple example of how I used it this morning.

I'm trying to work a day into Critical Thinking about complexity science and complex systems. This website is a great introduction to complexity: https://complexityexplained.github.io/

It's a fair bit of reading, so I want students to answer some questions about it after they've read through it. So I asked chatGPT to generate some questions. The screenshots show what it came up with.

Now, the questions aren't perfect. (For example, the prisoner's dilemma isn't mentioned on the website, but it asks a question about it.) But it gives me a bank of decent questions to pull from in seconds. Tweaking 10 questions is much easier than generating 10 questions yourself.

Simple, but important to keep in mind.
