    Um... I just had like a 20 minute conversation with ChatGPT about the history of modern physics. If I had this shit as a tutor during high school and college.... OMG. I think we can basically re-invent the concept of education at scale. College as we know it will cease to exist.

    Fine, I’ll bite. I LOVE to code. I love creating good abstractions that model interesting problems. I love writing the help text for little command line tools, channeling the craft of the Great Unix Gods of Yore who wrote the tools we all use and enjoy. As a CEO, I miss coding.

    Had a great time with @lexfridman talking about life, the universe, and everything, including of course Python & computers and all that. 😀

    Here's my conversation with Peter Wang (@pwang), one of the most impactful people in the Python community. Also, he is a physicist, philosopher & someone who both @ericweinstein & @teoliphant said I absolutely must talk to, so I did and loved it! youtube.com/watch?v=X0-SXS…

    This is the real danger of “AI”: that even when it’s pure snake oil, there will be a tech hype machine eager to foist half-baked nonsense onto the world. Normal humans & policymakers are easily dazzled by aesthetics of the presentation, and can’t begin to question the substance.

    Sigh.. ok I’ll explain this one more time: Voting is not a great way to surface the “best ideas” from a group. The primary purpose of voting is to maintain legitimacy of the regime in the minds of the losing cadre; you get their “buy in” bc they were part of the “process”

    Also in 2006: @teoliphant released the first version of Numpy, unifying the array libraries in Python-land and starting a multi-decade revolution in scalable, vectorized computing for everyone. It paved the way for modern machine learning and AI.
