Some of the most brilliant people I've ever met never finished school. Yes, credentials are useful to know, but I don't define a person by their credentials. Doing so is silly, and runs the risk of missing out on some fascinating people and ideas.

I'm a tactile person. I despise the "lockdown shopping experience" and can't wait for this to be the norm.

I love how Lowe's is using RFID & NFTs to address the "lockdown shopping experience" that has ruined retail shopping. #nfts #blockchain #ProductManagement link.medium.com/Pxy8B2eR2wb

OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, casts spell on Microsoft

The hottest startup in Silicon Valley right now is OpenAI, the Microsoft-backed developer of ChatGPT, a much-hyped chatbot that can write a poem, college essay or even a line of software code.

@v_bnbchain replies with same numbers. Sorry it takes a thread but it's Twitter. 1 - we seem agreed these ran with closed source governance ~2yr. A good faith effort to fix that is now underway. @zorobytes, who I guess is a team member, has also been v helpful.

I create a thread here to clear some common misunderstandings (again): 1. Both BNB Beacon Chain and Smart Chain have been open-sourced. 2. As open networks, individuals and orgs can join and they have joined as validators by staking BNB. 1/4

You should have 3 wallets - One wallet where you only buy and try things out in - One wallet which is sent the things that have been tried and researched for a while - The final wallet which is usually never seen anywhere

1. Yesterday @openai shared code for a simple GPT-powered Discord-bot. @Gradio also just updated Spaces to have Discord-bot support. If you’re building an AI startup and not thinking about launching via Discord, here’s why you probably should. 👇🧵 github.com/openai/gpt-discor…

Almost no one seems to realize that the head of bioethics at NIH – the person who is supposed to make sure that Fauci behaves ethically – is his wife 🧐 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chri…

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a common misunderstanding of the purpose of the NIH bioethics department. It is the department of the agency that conducts research into bioethical issues. It is not an internal oversight department for monitoring or policing ethics of NIH employees, and never has been. bioethics.nih.gov/about/index.sh…

A detailed review by @matt_levine showing how FTX counterfeited billions via made-up crypto-tokens backed by air & insider trading. "Of that $19.6 billion of assets ... some $14.4 billion was in more-or-less FTX-associated tokens (FTT, SRM, SOL, MAPS)." bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
FTX’s Balance Sheet Was Bad

Serum, customer money, etc.; plus Elon Musk’s Twitter debt and anti-ESG antitrust.
