Morfternight #62: ChatGPT is everywhere.
Hello! I am Paolo Belcastro. You are reading this because you subscribed to Morfternight, the weekly newsletter about leadership, product management, distributed teams, and anything that tickles our brains. 🤩 Welcome to the 5 new Morfternighters who joined us last week. 📷 Photo of the weekWalk - More Photos👋 Hello, World!Well, it’s been quite a week for people curious about AI. I shared a few examples generated with versions 3 and 4 of the Midjourney bot to illustrate the progress made in the past four months. Then ChatGPT became publicly accessible, and that’s all everyone seems to be talking about now. Again, the progress is impressive. I asked it to explain what it is directly to you:
Here is the response:
Nothing fancy here, and a GPT-2 Output Detector gives it a 99.98% chance a computer wrote it. Where it becomes interesting is that after my subsequent request.
The response is now rated at 98.64% as being written by a human:
Granted, GPT-2 is a bit outdated, but it was released only 3.5 years ago. This ability to manipulate content, rewrite it differently, or summarize it, will be extremely valuable in helping people learn. Anyone who has ever been asking questions about something they didn’t understand only to hear the same explanation over and over will agree with me. One aspect of ChatGPT that is impressive is its ability to explain the same thing in many different ways. We are all different, and we learn differently. I think this is going to be a game-changer. (I also posted it on Mastodon, but there’s no embed yet). 🤖 Three places to visit today
✌️ Initial Tana experimentsLeaving the world of AI before y’all hit “unsubscribe,” I wanted to report on my first experiment with Tana. I mentioned in a recent issue of Morfternight that I was waiting to access this new tool, and a few days ago, it finally happened. It’s a very early stage, my experience, that is. The app is already quite polished, although it’s still in alpha and evolving rapidly. Until recently, if you wanted a note-taking solution beyond a paper notebook or its digital equivalent, you first had to figure out whether you think like an architect, a gardener, or a librarian—in other words, choosing between solutions like Notion, Roam, or Evernote. Notion is quite powerful, but it requires thinking about the structure of your future content ahead of time. You think in terms of tables, databases, and structured data. Roam allows you to type stuff without caring how you organize it and relies on reciprocal links between blocks to build a graph over time. In Evernote, everything is organized in a tree of hierarchical folders, like it’s 1998. Tana, on the other hand, brings out the best of Roam and Notion and ignores Evernote. The best of all three worlds, let me tell you :) You can start by adding your notes without building any structure ahead of time, but whenever you feel the need to add structured data, you can very easily do so by creating “supertags.” At first, they behave like tags in every other app, allowing you to group content on the fly. But they also allow you to define for each supertag a template and fields containing metadata related to the node you tagged. A couple of days ago, I shared my first workflow in Tana to streamline the new format of weekly review I have recently adopted: The weekly Plus, Minus, and Next review. Expect to read more about this app shortly, and also, stay tuned for invitations whenever they’ll make them available to users. That's it for today!I write, and publish photos on paolo.blog If you know someone who could enjoy Morfternight, share it with them! 🤩 Cheers! |
