One thing I love about using ChatGPT currently is switching between the default mode and agent mode. I love having it go into agent mode for more in depth research, and switching back to regular mode when I have a specific question or need it to do something with that research.

Last week I found out I was nominated for the Mayfield | Divot AI List on my way back from a panel at Startup Boston Week. 🎉

I remember wishing for moments like this when I first started learning about AI in 2017.

I listened to part of this mom's testimony today. Her son started isolating and cutting himself after chatting with companions on Character .ai.

She shared that the company offered her like $100 during arbitration. $100!! 😠

Every day I think to myself how fortunate I am to do what I love. The things I am building now, I used to dream about in 2017. And I sometimes rundown my to do list and I’m like, wow, I used to wish for this with all my heart.

When faced with a large initiative w/a ton of ambiguity and unclear POV, I tend to write a UX Brief as a way to put down the initial experiential goals, approaches, behavioral hypotheses, known constraints that presumably will drive the biz goals. It is kind of a straw man to shape the UX POC.

From Surveillance to Robot Guards: How AI Could Reshape Prison Life Critics worry about opaque data collection, privacy violations and the technology’s bias spreading in jails and prisons.

This is not coincidental.
