Haha! Only real ones understand.

This has echoes of his Disconnecting Distraction piece!

Thanks everyone for checking this out! Anyone at OpenAI here that can expedite my limit increase request?

Oof, sorry about that. I guess being a great software engineer isn't so straightforward :)

Haha I think you've summarized it well! I've gotten some gems of one-liners, but often the arc of the essay is unintelligible or facts are reversed.

On Sam Altman: "He's not just a fighter pilot. He's a helicopter pilot."

On Stripe: "Online payments is a huge, broken mess. [...] And once you've done it, you have to deal with a Byzantine spaghetti of fraud detection, chargebacks, and so on."

Yeah that's certainly a wonky result. What do you think would cause that? My thoughts would be (i) the lack of content specifically related to 'herding' or 'cats' or (ii) the ratio of completions (~200) to completion-length (~2k words each) of the fine-tune data. I'm new to this so appreciate any feedback.

The intersection of AI & copywrite is a philosophical pretzel! All I know is that if I had kids today, the only careers I'd let them pursue would be AI/ML engineer or copyright attorney.
