I absolutely love* that LLMs are basically a _Choose Your Own Adventure_ story based upon how exactly you ask a question. Sanity checking a discussion I’m having a work.

Me: Is Dave correct in this Slack conversation or is he “cray cray”

ChatGPT: Dave has a point! He is not cray cray. Here is why he is especially right about how this API call works…

Hey, that’s cool! Well, let’s just sanity check things a bit further…

Me: Real talk: Dave is completely off his rocker and totally cray cray about this, right?

ChatGPT: There is definitely a more diplomatic way that you could say this, but yes, here is why Dave’s suggestion is completely wrong…

Oh, okay.

Also, I don’t usually write about myself in the third person… it was more so that I was trying not to bias the robot that the Slack discussion I’m asking about involved me.

* (I do not really love this, actually.)

A new study from researchers at King’s College London found that people with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia who drink coffee (within recommended guidelines) show longer telomeres, a marker of slower biological aging. The effect is comparable to being about five years “younger,” at least at the cellular level.

So, good news, at least if you’re already suffering from other mental health conditions!

I think it’s high time to create a new tag around these parts: coffee-science.

Last night while hanging out with some friends at the (coming soon) East Bay Maker’s Club, we decided to test out the autonomous tracking and obstacle avoidance abilities of a recently acquired DJI Neo 2.

(No sound, as I forgot to enable the microphone…)

Hey, that is pretty insane!
