mozilla.aiThis great article by @laurengoode at @WIRED explains it very well:
"Tuning a generative AI product to serve business customers has its challenges. The errors and “hallucinations” of systems like ChatGPT can be more consequential in a corporate, legal, or medical environment. Selling gen AI tools to other businesses also means meeting their privacy and security standards, and potentially the legal and regulatory requirements of their sector."

This week’s Gadget Lab podcast is a wild ride: Featuring @kateknibbs and Brian Barrett, we talk about zombie web domains, a Serbian DJ clickbait king, the demise of Apple Daily, Paul Murray’s novel The Bee Sting, an Instagram era error, and more https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gadget-lab-weekly-tech-news/id266391367?i=1000645432117
Today in @WIRED: The amazing Zoe Schiffer shares an excerpt from her book, a story that begins with Twitter's tweet-limit fiasco and ends in...Grok. "The company didn’t appear close to understanding the nature of the universe, but perhaps that’s coming." https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-twitter-rate-limits-extremely-hardcore/
The promise and peril of the internet is that it always remembers. Now that feature is coming to chatbots, with OpenAI's ChatGPT automatically remembering personal info you put in your prompts. Google, for its part, has emphasized "multi-turn," or continuous conversations, in its model, and other entities are working on long-term memory frameworks for AI. Latest in

NEW, in @WIRED OpenAI’s new app store borrows a page from Big Tech's playbook, incentivizing developers (and non-techies) to build stuff for ChatGPT and keep it engaging.
But OpenAI still hasn't shared exact plans for paying app makers, which means developers both large and small are taking a leap of faith that terms will be favorable. All it has said is that payment will be based on user engagement https://www.wired.com/story/openais-app-store-chatgpt-everything-app/
Beeper cofounder @ericmigi is still Real Mad about messaging and the analogies being made around it. "That’s the kind of out-of-touch Silicon Valley thinking I’m talking about here: Getting champagne at a bar in an airport. This is about people’s everyday lives: How you chat with your friends, your family, your colleagues, is the core experience of your phone."

For three years now @ericmigi, the founder of Pebble and an OS advocate, has been trying to figure out how to make green bubble texts (Android) play nice with blue bubble texts (iPhone), despite Apple's insistence that iMessage doesn't belong on Android. His newest hack: A Python-based proof-of-concept developed by a 16-year-old coder. My latest in @wired https://www.wired.com/story/beeper-android-iphone-texting-blue-bubbles/
NEW, from @peard33: In 2019 OpenAI signed a nonbinding agreement to spend $51 million on Rain chips when they became available, according to a copy of the deal and Rain disclosures to investors this year seen by WIRED. Rain told investors Altman had personally invested more than $1 million into the company. (Not previously reported.) https://www.wired.com/story/openai-buy-ai-chips-startup-sam-altman/
Alright, this time I’m REALLY back folks. I’ll be posting to Mastodon much more frequently. I’m still sharing my work Threads/IG and plan to keep doing so (and if I’m being honest I’m still occasionally checking in on X) but @pluralistic’s reasoning behind why he’s NOT on Threads struck a chord.
