After learning today’s news, this is the message I sent to the OpenAI team:

here is GPT-4, our most capable and aligned model yet. it is available today in our API (with a waitlist) and in ChatGPT+. openai.com/research/gpt-4 it is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.

I discovered a personal data exposure in Forbes 30 Under 30 Directory while looking for my entry, including ~4000 emails and ~7000 birthdates of the honorees over the past 10 years I’ve alerted Forbes and it has now been resolved (can’t get any more on-brand than this :P)

So awesome. A math Ph.D. is given no chance in the Olympic cycling race, so she blitzes off from the start. No one gives chase because they assume she'll fade and they don't have earpieces. And then she wins the whole thing. on.wsj.com/3i3Wow8

New season starts today and I’ll be honest - I’ve got butterflies. But one great fact about butterflies is that they only show up when you care a lot about something. And also they taste with their feet.
