       @clive @JamesGleick I think there’s still a lot of work to figure out what these tools are good for. The metaphors I’ve found helpful is to think about them as being good at being 1) translation from one language to another 2) glue (social and technical) between systems and 3) paths from one conceptual space to another. But they aren’t really good for reliable information retrieval!

       @simon That's right! It is interesting to watch folks building complicated applications with layers and layers of prompts to deal with some of these problems.

       One daily routine I’ve been doing for the last few days: go for a walk at the end of the evening and talk to my Pixel 6. Then I’ll take the transcript of what I’ve talked about and I’ll use GPT to identify ideas and action items. Not quite Tony Stark talking to JARVIS in Iron Man but it has been a surprisingly productive experiment. I’m curious if others have done something similar.
