Gensler going back to MIT to teach #AI? Will he repeat what he did with crypto? Fully endorse AI in his lectures, but outlaw it if he ever gets back into public office?

Don’t take #AI too seriously, certainly not yet. It doesn’t need to be perfect to be useful or fun
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx27zwp7jpxo Not saying that BBC shouldn’t care about the AI summary showing false “information”. In the ideal world, we want all automated summaries to be accurate too, to take it…

Don’t use #ChatGPT for maths or logic, use it for text expressions
You probably don’t need to know how the maths behind AI works, but it is a good idea to know that current “generation” (or buzz) of AI is mainly based…

Only 100m active users on #Whatsapp in the US, population of 333m? Choice is good, right?
