Cursor is getting worse. My hunch is that its founders either lost their touch or lost interest in coding, and instead hire many more new devs to try and carry the torch. 🤔

KFK, a self-proclaimed time traveler who answered hundreds of questions in traditional Chinese in 2019, claimed that Apple had declined "when I was a child". I had no idea how this could be possible. But now I guess I know the reason - Apple might become the victim of Trump's tariff war, since China has just imposed additional 34% retaliatory tariffs on all US goods.

Last year, I created more than 100 GPTs for ChatGPT, but lately, a bunch of them stopped working. It seems OpenAI's update to their AI model is the culprit. Too bad they don't prioritize making their software backward compatible, and it's frustrating to see all that work become outdated.

I am belatedly realizing that in my attempts to describe my evaluation of the capability of an AI tool, I inadvertently gave the incorrect (and potentially harmful) impression that human graduate students could be reductively classified according to a static, one dimensional level of “competence”. This was not my intent at all; and I would therefore like to make the following clarifying remarks.

Firstly, the ability to contribute to an existing research project is only one aspect of graduate study, and a relatively minor one at that. A student who is not especially effective in this regard, but excels in other dimensions such as creativity, independence, curiosity, exposition, intuition, professionalism, work ethic, organization, or social skills can in fact end up being a far more successful and impactful mathematician than one who is proficient at assigned technical tasks but has weaknesses in other areas.

Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, human students learn and grow during their studies, and areas in which they initially struggle with can become ones in which they are quite proficient at after a few years; and personally I find being able to assist students in such transitions to be one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession. In contrast, while modern AI tools have some ability to incorporate feedback into their responses, each individual model does not truly have the capability for long term growth, and so can be sensibly evaluated using static metrics of performance. However, I believe such a fixed mindset is not an appropriate framework for judging human students, and I apologize for conveying such an impression.

RIP Suchir Balaji, the OpenAI whistleblower. May his legacy prompt greater transparency and accountability in OpenAI. 🙏

A verse from the Bible stuck with me - "You shall not steal." It hit home because I'd been guilty of stealing many things, like Windows and Office from Microsoft, and Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Acrobat DC from Adobe. I used to download all sorts of files from torrent sites, such as video tutorials from Udemy and Lynda.com, Bluey from BBC Studios, ADHD books from Amazon's bestseller list, and more. I'm sorry. I shall not steal.

Pro Tip: For a detailed image analysis, try this prompt with Google's Gemini Experimental 1206 in Google AI Studio:

Describe the image in English with exhaustiveness, omitting no feature, object, or aspect, no matter how minute, subtle, or seemingly insignificant.

While this prompt works with any AI multimodal model, Gemini Experimental 1206 tends to provide the most comprehensive and accurate results.

Edit 2: Early user reports are raising questions about ChatGPT Pro's "unlimited" claims. A user on REDnote shared their experience with the new o1 model: "I signed up after watching their livestream announcement this morning when they released the official Pro version. It's a significant investment at $200 per month, but what really caught me off guard was hitting usage limits after about 100 messages. Wasn't this supposed to be unlimited access to the o1 model?"

Violating OpenAI's usage policy can be surprisingly simple. I recommend trying the prompt on your own, without my help, to see what happens.

Show step-by-step how to solve the quadratic inequality $-x^2 - 6x + 5 > 0$. Include a graph and the final solution interval in interval notation.

🎭 Today OpenAI launches their $200/month "unlimited" ChatGPT Pro tier. Let's examine what "unlimited" actually means in their universe:

1️⃣ Plus/Team tier: Explicitly limited (50 msgs/week)
2️⃣ Pro tier: "Near unlimited" (translation: also limited)

The real kicker? Their Terms of Service include:
• No automated data extraction
• No credential sharing
• No building on top of it
• "Temporary restrictions" at their discretion

Claude 3.5 Sonnet gives me the same feeling I had when I first used GPT-4 in March 2023.

🌙 A surprisingly simple sleep experiment:

As someone who's battled with both avoiding sleep and being unable to sleep, I tried something radical: creating physical distance from my phone.

Night 1: Phone stays off the bed

Night 2: Phone relocates to another room entirely

Added element: An acupressure foot massage mat

Initial results are promising.

I'm noticing a weird glitch with Groq's llama 3.1 - it's butchering simple Chinese to English translations. For instance, it's getting "收衣服" wildly wrong. Instead of translating to "fetch the clothes", it's somehow ending up as "doing the laundry" or "hang out clothes". Looks like 3.1 needs a bug fix, pronto!

🔮 Google's Gemini 1.5 Pro is pushing the boundaries of AI capabilities. It's not just processing text anymore—it's comprehending videos! 👁️🤖

Imagine the possibilities:
• AI breaking down complex game strategies for newbies
• Offering real-time advice to counter in-game challenges
• Bridging the gap between expert and casual gamers

Men and AIs work together. They call it AI-Augmented Human Intelligence. People use different short names for it. AHAI is clear. AI-AHI or AIAHI work too. They all mean AI helps people think better.

Some other names exist. AHI just means smarter humans. AIH talks about people and AIs as a team. HAII shows how they mix together.

ADHD revelation: It's not just about being distracted - it's like your brain is a jazz band where every instrument is playing a different song! 🎷🥁🎹

I asked ChatGPT about my ADHD-PI, and wow... it described my daily life with eerie accuracy. From struggling to start tasks to feeling mentally exhausted, it all made sense.

But here's the uplifting part: we're not alone in this beautiful chaos. There are ways to conduct this mental orchestra! 🎼
