- Removing phones from the classroom truly is a bi-partisan issue. In the age of AI I'd include teachers in that ban too.

Very cool "conversation" between Tyler Cowen and Jonathan "GPT" Swift. Looking forward to more of these "conversations" with historical and literary figures.
The success of the podcast had a lot to do with the quality of the voice actor chosen to give life to Swift's GPT dialogue.
IBM originally had big plans for Deep Blue being used in medical practice. Diagnosing ailments was supposed to pay the bills while playing chess and beating Garry Kasparov was what it did for PR.
Problem is IBM couldn't get it to work in a real clinical setting despite pouring millions into it. But now with ChatGPT4 and other AI's could the Smart Doctor on your Smartphone be a reality? Some people say we're really close.
To me this issue is trust. You could have an AI crawling all the medical journals for the latest studies but the problem is most studies are crap. Flawed methodologies, biased funding, and other issues plague medical papers. What I'd like is to have a list of trusted medical sources where the AI uses their direct words from podcasts and speeches as well as their direct writings to form a database of recommendations.
For example I would trust Peter Attia, Andrew Huberman, and Rhonda Patrick. If they had spoken or written about my medical question - then my pocket Dr. Mario tells me their recommendations. My blood work and vitals could be inputted into the app and the words from my trusted doctors would be used to analyze the data.
We're not too far off from this brave new medical world.

- New Georgia nuclear power plant begins generating electricity and is linked to power grid. More please.
- The Archimedes wind turbine looks pretty cool. Leave it to the Dutch to re-invent the windmill. Here's the brochure.
- McDonalds reportedly shuts US offices in preparation of layoffs. If they announce they are laying off all positions related to DEI then I'd look for a stock jump. BTW McDonalds is headquartered in Chicago?
Microsoft introduces Microsoft 365 Copilot. The demo video is pretty cool.
Microsoft is also in the news for "cutting a key AI ethics team." The team was called "ethics and society" which makes one wonder what sort of bias on ethics and society that team was actually bringing to the table.
Not to be outdone - Google announced AI features in GMail, Docs, and more to rival Microsoft.
Think one of the aspects of AI chatbots like 365 Copilot, GPT-4, and others is that in the very near future people will be using the tools to work multiple full-time jobs and double-dip on salaries.

- Morgan Housel on Risk and Regret
- IRS proposes new reporting program aimed at the tips earned by waiters and bartenders. This is crap. Unless it's a business expense I need to put in my expense report to be reimbursed I always try to give my tips separately in cash. This is why!
- Data from Medicare databases show each shot a person takes increases the risk of death. Our vaccine intervention has made things worse - not better.
- Hacking ChatGPT. I look at the hackers in this case as the "white hats."
ChatGPT is politically biased and ideologically possessed by and for the Left.
Growing up anyone who tried to enter data into a computer knew the phrase "garbage in / garbage out." Today with the advent of Chat AI algorithms think the new phrase may be "bias in / bias out' or to perhaps to make the acronym more memorable "bias in more bias out." Don't use a BIMBO Chat AI.
