Software has destroyed professional development in the workplace by scaling without personalization. We believe AI will bring a better future where new hires are supported by AI (not replaced), and can upskill faster than ever before. Thanks so much @Scobleizer for the chance to

@svpino It was incredibly disingenuous and I'm a bit concerned so many people here started hyping it up as if Google is doing anything different. They rolled out a 3.5-like model, that's it.

I'm leaving my 9-5. Put in my 2-weeks, well, 2 weeks ago. Over the last days I've written a good bit of handoff documentation and now I'm actually handing it over to the team. I used to imagine I'd love this day, but lately I've been dreading it. It feels bitter, not sweet.

Prompt engineering isn't some mythical thing that unlocks new levels of wealth. But it's very possible for a good "prompt engineer" to make the rumored $300k a year. You just won't make it from writing prompts. Why? Good prompts are created from clearly articulated English.

ChatGPT usage hack: when you need to clarify something because the response wasn't very good, it's easiest to just respond with a clarification. But this relies on the built-in context embeddings as the conversation length grows and eventually degrade performance. Instead, edit

Google comparing Gemini Ultra to GPT-4 is a bit disingenuous. OpenAI is working on models better than GPT-4 that they haven't released, so Google should be comparing GPT-4 to Gemini Pro (which is more on par 3.5 and all the OSS models) as that's what you can actually use.
