We’re back with another edition of Machine Learnings, brought to you by the folks at Heyday.

Heyday is an AI-powered memory assistant that resurfaces content you forgot about while you browse the web.

Our working philosophy is that some jobs are ripe for augmentation.

One model that we can look to from the past is Expert Systems. They’re old tech at this point – one of the earliest if-then coded forms of AI.

But hook it to GPT-4, apply to something like Chemistry, and suddenly we have magic that helps scientists.

Let that serve as a teaser of what’s to come.

If you want to find out how we can help you, try Heyday today.

What we're reading.

1/ Robin Hanson with a balanced, first principles line of thought towards doomsday takes, worries of the unknown, and likely outcomes. We love Robin’s writing. Learn more at Quillette >

2/ The best paper we read all week examined an artificial society of AI agents. The Sims meets generative AI. Learn more at arXiv >

3/ iOS Shortcuts + ChatGPT = AI in your pocket. This is useful. Learn more at MacStories >

4/ Every once in awhile, someone writes a piece that acts as 1) a great primer, and 2) an aggregation of the best techniques available. This one covers prompt engineering and building production-grade LLM tools. Learn more at Chip Huyen’s personal site >

5/ Amazon has been slow to commit to a path in the generative AI realm, until yesterday’s massive announcement. What’s that mean for developer costs and capabilities? Learn more at Axios >

6/ We’ve seen jailbreaks to ChatGPT since launch day, but we’re still in the earliest days. What comes next for hackers? Learn more at WIRED >

7/ What happens when we program an AI to be as bad as it can be at its job? Lessons (and laughs) inside from the worst chess bot in history. Learn more at The Atlantic >


One from our friends…

This week, we’re spotlighting JR Raphael, journalist and columnist read at Fast Company, The Verge, and head of Android Intelligence.

Android Intelligence gives you three things to know and three things to try in your inbox every Friday. You’ll learn all sorts of useful new stuff about your favorite apps and devices — with veteran Android journalist JR Raphael as your guide.


Research for this edition of Machine Learnings was enhanced by Heyday, the AI-powered memory assistant.
