It's spooky season. Let's raise the dead. Two days into OpenAI's Dots, I've found the best use yet: point one at an abandoned project. Projects rarely die because the last 10% is hard. They die because the last 10% is boring: DNS configurations, deployment scripts, API connections. A dot takes that work off your plate. It reads what's there, holds the context, and keeps working through the finish line while you do something more interesting. Some projects earned the graveyard. Others just got squirreled and need a little AI necromancy.

@armand_ruiz you have got to get me off the @muse waitlist. For old times sake :)

The killer feature of AI agents isn't autonomy. It's persistence. This is a real production system. You know "good, fast, cheap - pick two?" I picked good and fast. After my freakout, I gave Codex a recurring job: - analyze spend - find the biggest waste - optimize it - repeat every hour Then the cliff happened. The system is now significantly more robust while costing less than the old "normal." AI found a cheaper configuration. But more important than that, this loop now just runs: notice the problem → investigate → fix → check again. This is a much bigger deal than another chatbot getting 3% smarter.

Thanks @HiltonHonors! See y’all in a couple days in DC.

Sure would appreciate a Sora 2 invite if someone has one to spare.

Huge hail in Mustang, OK. Our yard has a handful this size. @NEWS9 #okwx

When did @CashApp become a predatory lender? Offering quick cash at a "low fixed rate" for 4 weeks. When you do the math - which they're counting on you not doing - it's a shocking 65% APR. That's loan shark territory. @SenatorLankford @SenMullin @RepFrankLucas - this is hurting our neighbors. Stopping these practices are the kinds of things that all Okies can get behind.

The #1 question I get when talking about #LLM's: "Which #AI can I trust?" So, I broke down how different models handle your data. If you’ve ever been asked the same thing, here’s a quick guide to help answer: doyontechgroup.com/which-ai-…

Anyone who thinks #TikTok switched to #Meta servers during the 14 hour blackout has never done a data migration at scale. - C-Suite thinks it should take 14 days. - Engineers think it’ll take 14 weeks - Reality: It will take 14 months and the CIO will get fired.

@TruistNews I've been on hold for over an hour for what is likely a mistake email that I received. Is this a usual hold time? I was under the impression that I could "expect a teammate to respond within minutes"

In the middle of the night, half a world away, we believe. It's not about how much we lost. It's about how much we have left. We're the @USWNT. We gotta finish this. Go get 'em captain. @alexmorgan13

I’ve been to well over a hundred conferences, heard thousands of presentations, @HochDotCo is an absolute top 10 presenter. If you get a chance; check out his stuff

"I could easily see 30% of (non-customer-facing roles) getting replaced by AI and automation over a five-year period." - IBM CEO, Arvind Krishna on why they have paused hiring and are not backfilling jobs that AI could do. Anecdotally, I'm hearing the same thing from companies when faced with jobs that could be handled with AI. They are not firing current employees but are not hiring new roles or backfilling those who leave. I expect this trend to accelerate rapidly. finance.yahoo.com/news/ibm-p… #generativeai #ai #hiring #jobs

Stability AI's new DeepFloyd IF is a huge leap forward for text image creation. #Midjourney solved the weird hands issue with v5, and now #StabilityAI has solved the creating text problem with IF. The pace of innovation In this space is 🤯 deepfloyd.ai/deepfloyd-if Currently, only a research preview (no commercial use), but Stability has already announced It will be available fully open-sourced at a later date. #AIart

The first edition of #Midjourney magazine just showed up at my house, and I’m way more excited about it than I should be :) #generativeai #generativeart

Stanford basically gave #gpt4 memory, and the results are nuts. artisana.ai/articles/generat… From the article: - One agent (sim) planned a party, informed several friends who then invited others, and collectively they coordinated the event. - Another agent decided to run for mayor, sparking organic discussions about their campaign and political stances among the community. Different agents held varying opinions on this candidate. - Some agents retained memories with human-like embellishments, occasionally imagining additional details or interpreting events with their own perspective. How long before these sims start to wonder if they're in a simulation? :tinfoilhat: #ai #stanford

Our latest #AI product from @TailwindApp is on #ProductHunt: producthunt.com/posts/tailwi… It's a really cool solution, and I would love your support if you could take a minute to give us an upvote. #chatgpt

Real-world example of why if you rely on search for your business, you need to be coming up with new strategies. Will Chat kill Search? No. Will it siphon off A LOT of #SEO traffic? Absolutely. #Tutorial @mikeshothoney to Recipe with #ChatGPT youtube.com/watch?v=jGeTy2lC…

There is no debate, #ChatGPT, and other LLMs, enable us to create higher-quality content in less time. The question now is, how do we utilize this newfound efficiency? Do we simply produce more, or can we find ways to use the time saved to enrich our lives somehow?
