There really is no reason anyone should be using free ChatGPT-3.5 anymore. Not only can you still get GPT-4 access for free through Microsoft Copilot (in creative mode), but if you want a GPT-3.5 class model, Llama 3 is much better & free (for now), here: meta.ai

Super astute observation. Exactly right

Banger line from Dead Poets Society:

“Medicine, law, business, engineering, these are all noble pursuits, and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.”

Plus, at least in Google’s case, its primary revenue generator has effectively zero switching costs

There is a perception that the dominant companies of today are more powerful than those in the past. In fact, their market share is pretty similar to that of past global stars, but they contribute much less to global employment, productivity & growth than previous top companies.

Apparently the eclipse naturally clears the clouds

Are you telling me the black hole sun washes away the rain!?!?

My advice for totality:
A total solar eclipse is one of the most emotional events one can experience. Go. Be present. Ignore your devices. Don’t try to record it. Just be present. Soak it in. Cry. Laugh. Laugh-cry-happyscream. Feel your feels. You’re a part of the universe.

This has been my sense all along. And, of course, the big challenge is what happens to all the businesses downstream of those clicks. It’s time you have a plan for where you get traffic if Google referrals decline… and they likely will

When Prince was on Twitter, he'd occasionally share YouTube videos of music by other artists. Here are some of the songs he shared.

I've tried to keep the same links but where the videos are no longer available, I've replaced the links.*

EVERYONE still calls it Twitter.

i cannot think of anything i would want to watch less than short-form work videos

My favorite things about training and teaching adult ed. The “learners” drive me to learn new things all the time, even after I’ve gotten the benefits of figuring out how to explain the topic in the first place.

If I’m not one of the learners, I’m doing it wrong.

Been calling this for some time. I genuinely hope Mike and I are wrong about the potential impacts. Bad for lots of downstream sites in publishing, commerce, et al

already bracing……

In every group I speak to, from business executives to scientists, including a group of very accomplished people in Silicon Valley last night, much less than 20% of the crowd has even tried a GPT-4 class model.

Less than 5% has spent the required 10 hours to know how they tick.

Today's a great day to write a LinkedIn recommendation for a woman who is crushing it!

This PMM from Spain got laid off so she made this video to stand out in the job market and I loveeee itttt. It's broken LinkedIn!

Still too soon... 😭
