really, thanks for listening! It's fun making them and nice to know they are being listened to
holy shit, I really don't know if this is real or a joke
thanks! It might be uncommon because it's a real pain in the ass to keep it short. Every time I make one I stress about how easily my point can be misunderstood because there are so few details. Good way to practice the art of moving on

He has sample photos starting around 12 minute mark - the colour tone he's getting is amazing
Example:
Maybe I’m scarred but I have a reflexive distrust for any usage of “pumped” or “super excited” in a commercial context. No matter the subject.
I joined a writing meetup here in Amsterdam which gathers every week in a bar to write, to talk about their writing, to bounce ideas, etc. I kinda got tired of going because there were a worrying number of people using chatgpt to generate ideas. I was the only one trying to write non-fiction, and most of what I was writing would be crit of tech (sometimes genAI) so talking about my writing was always fun. But nonetheless, their use of chatgpt seemed extra weird because we were there, together, to write and support each other, for free.
It's strange to use solidarity, support, and just general helpfulness from others as an explanation for how AI opens writing up to classes or abilities when that's probably one of the top things that social media (and pre-social media social media) gave us on the internet.
anyway..
"it is providing Microsoft non-exclusive access to advanced learning content and data to help improve relevance and performance of AI systems".
I wish it wasn't normal to call these "systems" instead of "products"
the usefulness of any feature should be measured in how deep you can bury its "opt-in" option in the settings pages without hurting its adoption

We built this as an opt-in alternative to the non-privacy centric options on the market.
Our goal is always privacy by default, we want to make that possible in the GenAI world too given the number of businesses already using it, and the privacy risks other options pose.
Is it absurd that the maker of a tech product controls it by writing it a list of plain language guidelines? or am I out of touch?
i like how he sees the "consent problem" as just a communication thing. "if they could speak, they would be saying yes"
The decentralised finance club needs to make their core values poster bigger and easier to understand
We’re here in 2023 and they still forget that the core value of “not your keys not your wallet” is the equivalent of putting your cash under your mattress instead of using a bank and the complexity that comes with that is unavoidable.
You can get more people to use a mediocre product/technology by making it easy to use
People will use complex products/technologies if they are useful enough.
But these people can’t make it useful so they keep banging their head against the wall trying to make it more simple.
It is inevitable that they will try the even lazier route of deceiving people into thinking it is simple.

When I worked in agencies you could pick the suits that had lost touch with reality by how much they seemed to believe that targeted ads are useful enough to be some kind of public service. Now google use the same rhetoric to justify user tracking
It's probably more sensible for me to try writing short bits too, instead of faffing around with videos
