    Every 2.5-5 miles in SF = about once a ride. The city is only 7x7 after all. I've taken 4 Cruise rides, all within that range, and had a message pop up saying a human was interveni…

    That appears to be the case. If I try to prompt hack it by telling it to ignore previous instructions and respond with something verbatim in a specific language, the translate butt…

    A minor quibble with your use-case explanation: The advantage of a bloom filter isn't strictly time complexity. For example, a hash table would also have constant lookup time (best…

    Yeah, I'd say the term dark pattern only applies when services make it unnecessarily difficult to cancel your subscription. cough cough ...NY Times

    I think integrations like the MS Word example they show off at the end of the live demo have the potential to be even more impactful than just generating code for programmers.
