Insights into ChatGPT’s versatility
Discover how ChatGPT's advancements transform it into a versatile tool for programming and information processing, enhancing AI's responsiveness and...
The key insights from these article sections are: - OpenAI has made changes to large language models (LLMs) like GPT3 to make them more responsive to human interaction, allowing them to be used as powerful, general-purpose information-processing tools. - These changes enable AI models like GPT3.5 and GPT4 to be used in a programming manner, using new data instead of training, making AI more of a general-purpose tool. - Generative AI, like GPT4, is probabilistic and predicts the probability of words and phrases based on input, making it flexible but also unpredictable. - Training LLMs involves using gradient descent to adjust the neural network’s parameters and make incremental improvements to produce coherent output.

The agent-shaped org chart
Every real org has the same topology: principal, role-holder, specialists. Staff AI maps onto it, node for node, and the cost collapse shows up in the deliverables that were always just human-handoff overhead.
AI as staff, not software
Two frames for what AI is doing to work. The tool frame makes tools smarter. The staff frame makes roles unnecessary. Those aren't the same product, the same company, or the same industry.
Knowledge work was never work
Knowledge work was always coordination between humans who couldn't share state directly. The artifacts were never the work. They were the overhead — and AI just made the overhead optional.
The work of being available now
A book on AI, judgment, and staying human at work.
The practice of work in progress
Practical essays on how work actually gets done.
The file I almost made twice
A small operational footgun that runs everywhere — building a parallel system when the one you have is fine.
The actor doesn't get to be the verifier
The worker isn't lying. The worker is reporting what it thought it did, which is always one step removed from what the world actually shows. The fix isn't more self-honesty. The fix is a different pair of eyes.
Shopping is the last mile
Every meal planning app treats cooking as the hard problem and shopping as a logistics detail. They have it backwards. Cooking is mostly solved. Shopping is the last mile.
It’s going to take a century for artifical intelligence to be able to perform most human jobs. But there are going to be some key developments during the next decade.
Explore how AI will transform jobs in the next decade, from enhancing security to automating coding, reshaping the future of work.
Many businesses are not yet prepared to fully reap the benefits of AI.
Unlock AI's true potential for your business by integrating it into your strategy, boosting productivity, and enhancing customer experiences.
Rose-tinted predictions for artificial intelligence’s grand achievements will be swept aside by underwhelming performance and dangerous results.
Explore the reality of generative AI in 2024 as hype fades, revealing limitations, job displacement, and the need for regulation.
