Oh man, can anyone imagine a non-Terminator scenario for this?

Update: I'm not saying people shouldn't develop this, we're never going to squash human curiosity. But when I see this kind of stuff, I'm deeply troubled by how bad actors (state and non-state) will use this.

I hope our security services are working hard on countering these potential threats.

Burak - one wish I've had recently is for a "py data ecosystem compiler", specifically one which allows me to express structures and transformations in dbt and Ibis, but not rely on Python at runtime. [Go|Rust]+[DuckDB|chDB|DataFusion] for the runtime. Bruin seems very close to the mark! Following.

Since Claude 3.5 Sonnet was released I can't go back to GPT anymore. It sounds too "robotic" and is overly verbose. It explains every little detail that I don't want to know and still is far worse than Claude. OpenAI has to really step up their game if they don't want to fall behind. In fact, GPT-4 got worse back in November, the best version is still the one from June 2023 but it's only available in the API.

Sonnet is great, but also suggest exploiting custom instructions in the ChatGPT UI. Here's a snippet from mine:

Extremely concise, formal. As short as possible. Assume I am an industry expert in any topic we discuss. Answer assuming I have the highest level of intellect possible, and do not require explication regardless of the sophistication of the topic. In cases where one approach among many is superior, offer an opinionated argument in favor of that approach.

I just finished Deaths End this morning so I'm experiencing that ponderous glow that you get after reading something thought provoking.

Without going into spoilers, Death's End makes everything so... huge. It really made me feel tiny in our universe.

These are good books with some flaws. You should read them.

I also finished Death's End this morning and have a similar afterglow re: scale (energy, space, time)!
