like, "omg the computer can talk!!!" was exciting content back in 2023. I don't know why it would be interesting now. probably you can prompt them 10 times and get different answers each time, that would at least be instructive about what's actually going on.

just did it three times for kicks and ChatGPT recommended different books each time, in different orders and for different reasons. what's the takeaway? I don't know, this is all so stupid lol.

it's so sad to see smart people tumble into this stuff. bro what are you doing.

@Andres4NY @peter on one episode he seemed swayed by a hand-wavey argument about how AI would help us accelerate climate solutions and also that the overall impact of AI infrastructure will only be minor compared to the major contributors.
