Nice column from Julia Angwin following on the GPT-nothingburger that OAI launched on Monday.

Could not agree more that we should be investing our resources--in education & much else--in MUCH better ideas and technologies.

My favourite line from this excellent thread of good points is ‘Let's resist, not play along with, the ENSHITTIFICATION’
