Today, just for fun,
I added some sound too.
Life is made up of little moments of joy💞

Good night !!!

First time I see a negative con trail.

Curious about what the conspirators have to say 🤣

Currently sick, laid up in bed. but i keep seeing this "AI makes you dumb" line in response to the MIT Media Lab paper that came out recently and it's unbelievably incorrect:

- The paper is about educational outcomes for 3 constrained groups (search-only, brain-only, LLM-only). if you read the paper, a finding is if students only used ChatGPT to write an essay, they became more lazy, relying solely on LLMs. not sure that's a shocking finding, but now it's in the literature.

- A more important finding as suggested by the authors shows that well trained, non-lazy brains (brain-only participants when eventually allowed to use LLMs) showed a significant surge in activity when allowed to collaborate with LLM tools.

- A more pressing finding is that unfettered LLM usage may lead to a "a likely decrease in learning skills". The flipside is that we will get much "better" at output (albeit in a state of hegemony). Do we care about that? I do - but the labour market likely won't.

- The "using AI makes you dumb" line was widely reported by press and people who didn't read the paper ('cos why read a scientific paper when you can just make up an opinion based on your biases?). 

- As the main author at Media Lab knows full well that people don't read papers she literally made a website with an FAQ to allow laypeople to avoid misunderstandings. The first FAQ is that this paper does not suggest that using LLMs make us "dumber"

- The authors knew this would attract such headlines. They even rushed it out as a pre-print to avoid being scooped and have this big news and cultural story. 

Academia is very much part of the attention economy especially with AI being a ripe topic for doom and gloom as well as awe inspiring hope. 
So expect more of this and please read things!

i read the entire paper that everyone’s citing as “ChatGPT makes you dumb” and made a 90 second video on it if you have the attention to watch it

Hey Farcaster, I'm Brexton and wanted to say hi — you probably have seen me on @alli's Twitter. I'm working with my team at Ohara to (try to) build the best software generation platform in crypto, and building on @base.base.eth to do so

You will see me be more active here, esp as we help folks generate (many) more frames!

Today, I signed the papers for my new apartment and had to wear this shirt, crypto has changed my life in so many ways, and Farcaster took it to another level

Thank you to everyone who made this moment possible

And a special thanks to John Willock (not here on FC yet), @br3no.eth and @chinmay.eth for believing in me when I was just potential

Thank you, my friends. Thank you, Farcaster

I am pausing my activity on Warpcast for the foreseeable future due to the current issue with large number of bots.

Recent posts over the past few months have received hundreds of likes and recasts coming mostly from bots.

We did a deep dive into this today. Main takeaways:

1. The "bots" are humans and we catch a lot of them. 

2. They target famous accounts like @zachxbt a lot more often. 

3. They're evolving to only like/recast spamming

I know… most people just keep theirs in the closet!
