What if writing code was as simple as talking to your device? Watch my GPT-4 voice assistant: - take in a complex coding task - write the code - create a PR on my GitHub repo All I had to do was tell it what to do. This is the future of software.

Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi. I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation. Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.

GPT4 will be out soon and will probably cause a similar economic shock to one from Covid. Instant distribution with nearly instant adoption and nearly instant productivity increase for hundreds of millions of knowledge workers. Brace yourselves, 2023 is coming

I said goodbye to a patient a few years ago. She didn’t die, she just got old. I treat patients to age 21 and they move on. When they do, I joke, “well, I did my job! I kept you alive until adulthood!” With this kid, it was not a joke. 1/

James O'Brien pulls no punches in obliterating Boris Johnson and the idea he 'got all the big calls right'. @mrjamesob

This lady spoke more ‘truth to power’ in 90 seconds than all of the self-aggrandising prats in legacy media have in over two years. Starmer couldn’t even maintain eye contact. An utterly contemptuous and contemptible toad.
