I've been telling people this for months. It's still true. A great topic to write on.

I recently linked all my resources for people to start in my area (RLHF). https://www.interconnects.ai/p/rlhf-resources

Great Post - "The feeling of being late is pervasive. It’s always there." Love this.

I just cannot wait -- JUST CANNOT WAIT -- until AI replaces the endless scripts that you always get when you call a company these days. Customer service and technical support are on that list but so are the scripted menus that go on and on and on. And on.

Plus you will be able to call when you want, even at 3 AM on a Sunday morning, on holidays, and you won't ever have to wait for an answer. Just cannot wait,

the scary part is when they start calling you and leverage all of the information they’ve purchased about your likes, preferences, shopping habits, etc. to sell you things you would never otherwise buy.

Perhaps because these are products I don't know about but which I would like? This happens often in my life -- I learn about a product, I like what I learn, and I buy it. Am I being victimized? It certainly doesn't feel that way.
