It's algorithmic "everything". An algorithm that can generate 1000 slightly different ads, display to users, and based on clicks optimize itself and promote the most succesul ones.
(Netflix already does that with trailers, but still half manually.)

Real world reinforcement learning, where human attention is the reward function, cheap to evaluate.

Good old memories of my childhood, part of which was spent making this run fast in Turbo Pascal & assembly:

The best feature of Mastodon is that you can mention the words "hashing" and "crypto" and you won't be swarmed by bots or morons.

Whoah, apparently Twitter suspended my account and then changed their mind. Seems a bit much. I missed it all because I was reading to 10 yo. Or rather alternately reading and listening to his ideas for new Pokemon.

I guess the defining experience when using GitHub Copilot (or any other code autocompleter) is when you hack away at some code, autocompleting some trivialities, and then as you hit Tab it suddenly inserts a chunky couple lines of nontrivial code. And you're like, wait that can't be the solution. Is it the solution? (..a minute later..) It's the solution.
