What is this article even about? And what does this even mean: >In the offline world, a tool like Chatgpt should make it easier to find useful prospects in a list of event attendees. So, should you feed a list of conference attendees to chatgpt and ask who to talk to? And how? I personally go to conferences quite often, I'm terrible at networking but force myself to talk to people and I do have some results but I can…

Where can I pay for information presented in such a short, clear and to-the-point manner? Preferably human generated as well (no to robots). I dream about having access to this kind of internet.
For me chatgpt v4 is a good summarizer.

I've seen it mostly in finance websites, where they often have keynotes at the top for a quick glance. I think the last time I've seen in this in a different context was probably an article in The Verge.

Re: Networking for introverts
#34I think extroversion and introversion are just orthogonal skill sets. The solution can simply be “get better at extroversion.” For instance, small talk. You may style yourself as someone too intellectual to be entertained by small talk, and profess to be terrible at making small talk. This is to misunderstand the value proposition of small talk, which is to establish trust and rapport with strangers before you commit…
What you describe has nothing to do with introversion or extroversion. Those are social skills and, yes, they're learnable. My favorite book on the subject is superhuman social skills by Tynan. He's an introvert. If you're curious, Introversion and Extroversion are characterized by different brain chemistry. Introverts make more heavy use of the acetylcholine pathways in the brain and Extroverts make more heavy use o…

Hacker News, of course! :) I am curious though, why human generated only? AI is getting better at summarizing everyday. Does it really matter if you cannot tell the difference?
I am not an expert in modern NLP SOTA but from what I see these models do not work that well. You didn't summarize the article but took some of the most important points and shared what really mattered. It may not be perfect but required a real life experience. I am afraid there will always be a chance of getting "techno-babble" from our models, at least until they we get to some sort of AGI. Look at your first line:…

and then a segmentation, where they list the content.
This is very much in line with LLMs can do. Segmentation is part of a standard QA benchmark, and summaries are obviously something we have.
You can also ask a model to not only identify a summary, but segment only the relevant parts given the summary.
The "difficulty" is in pairing the two LLMs together.

I think this is the real gem. There are people who do well socially and are energized by other people. That's not me.
I can do well socially, but I have a social battery - people drain me and I need to regularly be recharge by being inside my own head for a while.

#37How does me being an introvert change concepts of networking? Ah! This is the "other" networking.

#39"Quiet Contemplation for Extroverts: A How-To Guide to Sitting the Fuck Still For an Hour" I'm fine as I am as an introvert, thank you very much. Maybe we're not the only ones who need to be more accommodating of the world?

When you exercise different skills, your brain activity changes, yes. Doesn’t mean these are real categories. Brain activity of a tennis player will be different from the brain activity of a concert pianist.
