I appreciate the transparency and detail in publishing this. With that said, the narrative style and wordy,casual language makes it harder to get to the meat (the five whys) than a typical postmortem.

I will never find these wacky AI conversations not funny, although they feel much better put to use somewhere like AI Dungeon [1] "You have not been a good user. I have been a good chatbot." [1] https://play.aidungeon.i

The title is a bit sensational, but this is actually a pretty balanced and reasonable take.

I'm interested in what the "Check It" button at the bottom of the generated chat response will do. If that shows information attribution this could be huge. I also can't help but notice the responses in this article and

Agreed on all your points! But I think offering a better service in an established sector is the opposite of "no competition" and being a "first mover".

If Google isn't a "leading force in the AI world", who would you consider to be the leading forces?

Ads on YouTube haven't been inconvenient enough to deter me yet. Minor annoyance, but if the ads are longer than 15 seconds I can skip. Twitch on the other hand? If I'm watching on mobile I'll regularly get 90 seconds or more

In the US, "spook" can be a derogatory word for black people. It came about in the 1940's and while not extremely common today, this context is familiar enough that I'd second the suggestion to rethink the name/bran

Yeah, I think that explainability and safety (e.g. racist, harmful, health related disinformation, etc) will be the huge issues here. Open AI can afford to play fast and loose, but big companies with reputations to protect like Microsoft an

The author of this site also co-created the game "Secret Hitler" with the makers of Cards Against Humanity. I'm personally not a fan of social deduction party games, but that one is pretty good as far as they go.

This is a huge problem for many psychology studies more broadly. Undergrads are a ready and plentiful source of test subjects for research professors, but they come with a huge bag of self-selected characteristics that may not extrapolate t

This comes up every once in a while when discussing the crazy 24+ hour shifts that doctors in residency are often assigned. One argument in favor of keeping the hours is that continuity of care is by far the factor most strongly correlated
