I see this pattern a lot -- folks start a publication, publish for a handful of years, and then shutter. I did it myself with Compelling Science Fiction magazine. This is why I settled on releasing only one book per year, it's sustainable while working full-time on other projects.

My reading is that OpenAI is paying lip service. Altman is basically saying "OF COURSE we don't want to spy on Americans or murderdrone randos, but OF COURSE the government would never do that, they just told me so (except for the fact that they just cut ties with Anthropic because Anthropic wouldn't let them do that)"

nicely said. I've been thinking a lot about how the bottleneck in the limit is getting your intent into the machine. Over time as AI improves it'll get better and better at extracting your intent just from situational context, but this only helps if you're willing to abdicate more and more judgement to the machine.

Eventually you may get to the point where the machine has all the context about the scenario and all the knowledge about how you think, and so will always perfectly be aligned with your intent, but when that day comes the thing will have far surpassed your decision-making capability and you won't be in the loop anymore anyway.

I love the slash for style menu, really nicely implemented!

And in 1925 they didn't even have the Internet

Really nice, reducing friction when note-taking is super valuable.

I was using my garage as a warehouse for the books, and it burned down, so I lost all the remaining copies of that first printing, unfortunately!
