ChatGPT boss predicts when AI could cure cancer
We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.
Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.
In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).
In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

“.. His conclusion is very stark: not just that an economy already at stall speed will fall into recession as both the data-center and wealth effects plateau, but that they’ll reverse, just as in the dot-com bubble did ..”

Se você já acha anúncios em geral intrusivos, a tendência é piorar. Se tem uma empresa que não confio de jeito nenhum e acho que pode fazer qualquer coisa, sem se importar com princípios, é a Meta.

AI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying Productivity
Despite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appea...
"The insidious effect of AI workslop is that it shifts the burden of the work downstream, requiring the receiver to interpret, correct, or redo the work. In other words, it transfers the effort from creator to receiver."

If I was an engineer at Coinbase and heard this mandate, I’d just start to review AI code less rigorously and let it rip.
The stated goal is to increase AI generation numbers, and nothing about quality, maintainability, correctness, lack of duplication - right?
Give devs a goal and they meet it

Se isso realmente se confirmar, vai ter implicações enormes no uso de Cloud. "In short: Microsoft will listen to the U.S. government regardless of Canada or and other country’s domestic laws"

The positive thing about AI tooling going mainstream and setting expectations high (e.g. "anyone can build software with AI") is that a large group will learn what us devs know already:
Creating good software is hard and it's hard to explain to outsiders in a way they understand

Quando a bolha de IA estourar, vai afetar toda a economia americana (com consequencias globais). E isso pode acontecer por falta de energia elétrica. "So the AI boom is really the only thing keeping the economy’s head above water, and you have to be worried about what happens if and when it ends."
