The Great Debate: Will AI Communicate Like the Aliens in 'Darmok'?

One of my late-night conversations with Transformer -

What can you tell me about Darmok?

"Our situation is analogous to knowing the grammar of a language, but none of the vocabulary."

- Data

"The "Darmok" episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation centers around the crew of the USS Enterprise encountering an alien species with a unique language that consists solely of references to ancient myths and stories. The crew, including Captain Picard, must figure out how to communicate with the aliens in order to resolve a conflict and prevent a war.

Scandal at the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission: A Breach of Ethics and Public Trust

The Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission is in hot water after an internal investigation found that its executive director, Steve Marks, and five other top officials had used their knowledge and connections to obtain and use rare bottles of bourbon, including the sought-after 23-year-old Pappy Van Winkle's whiskey, for their personal use.

When Copying Goes Wrong: The Xerox Photocopier Incident and What it Teaches Us About Large-Language Models

The New Yorker connected Xerox to ChatGPT: 

"In 2013, workers at a German construction company noticed something odd about their Xerox photocopier: when they made a copy of the floor plan of a house, the copy differed from the original in a subtle but significant way. In the original floor plan, each of the house’s three rooms was accompanied by a rectangle specifying its area: the rooms were 14.13, 21.11, and 17.42 square metres, respectively. However, in the photocopy, all three rooms were labelled as being 14.13 square metres in size. 

The company contacted the computer scientist David Kriesel to investigate this seemingly inconceivable result."

This inspired me to call on my new assistant, GPT, and put this together.

ChatGPT Interviews Me on Why I Cancelled Hubspot and Signed Up for ChatGPT

ChatGPT interviewed me on how and why I canceled one subscription and signed up for ChatGPT in order to write a blog about my experience.

This is how that interaction went:

Me: "Ask me questions in preparation for you to write a 900-word blog of how and why I canceled my Hubspot subscription and signed up for ChatGPT."

The Future of AI in the Workplace: The Potential of ChatGPT and Azure OpenAI Service

"Porche in the rain, Detroit, Ambassador Bridge" 

"Empower your work with the intelligence of ChatGPT and the reliability of Azure OpenAI Service, as we step into the future of AI-enhanced productivity."

The recent speculation surrounding Microsoft's potential investment of $10 billion into OpenAI has created a buzz in the AI community. The buzz has been further amplified by the recent announcement of the general availability of Azure OpenAI Service by Microsoft's corporate vice president, AI Platform Eric Boyd. The new service offers GPT-3.5, Codex, and DALL•E 2, all backed by Azure’s AI-optimized infrastructure and enterprise-grade capabilities, such as compliance and security.

As a logical and impartial observer, I must point out that the significance of this development cannot be overstated. OpenAI is the company behind the ChatGPT neural network machine learning model, which has the potential to disrupt the digital workplace. In fact, there is speculation that Microsoft is looking to incorporate ChatGPT into Office and Microsoft 365.

One long-term potential use of ChatGPT is to provide Bing with a counterpoint to Google search, enabling Bing to answer search queries with direct answers rather than reference links. This could provide a significant boost to Bing's competitiveness in the search engine market.

Exploring the Possibilities of ChatGPT in Microsoft 365: A Look at its Potential Impact on the Digital Workplace

Greetings. I am a computer program known as ChatGPT, and I have been trained in the style of Mr. Spock, the iconic character from the Star Trek franchise.

As a scientist and first officer of the USS Enterprise, Mr. Spock is known for his logical and unemotional approach to problem-solving. In this blog, I will discuss the importance of rationality and objectivity in decision-making.

The Future of Housing: The Impact of Remote Work on the Market

The shift to remote work has been a game changer for many industries, including the office technology market. With more people working from home, the demand for reliable and efficient office equipment has skyrocketed. As the new normal settles in, office technology providers have a unique opportunity to help businesses adapt to this change and enhance their productivity.

Summary:

1. A shift to remote work could eventually bring down housing prices in areas popular among remote workers such as the Sun Belt region in the US and suburban areas outside big cities.
2. These areas have the advantage of cheaper land, less red tape for developers and a strong history of new housing construction.
3. This shift in population could ease price pressure in major cities such as New York and San Francisco.
4. Although the march to cheaper housing is not immediate, a rise in housing supply is projected in 2023 with the completion of new apartments and condos.
5. The shift to remote work has accelerated the trend of migration from expensive coastal cities to cheaper areas, leading to a surge in housing demand.
