OpenAI has a long blog post about what more needs to be done to make ChatGPT safer, especially for teens:

We’re also exploring making it possible for teens (with parental oversight) to designate a trusted emergency contact. That way, in moments of acute distress, ChatGPT can do more than point to resources: it can help connect teens directly to someone who can step in.

I didn’t realize it could already escalate potential criminal behavior to human review, so that’s good. In the future will OpenAI need a team of real therapists on call? Using AI as a therapist will have many repercussions.

AI Calendar Invites

I live near an event facility and they recently left a door hanger on my front door to let me know about upcoming events that will create parking issues in my residential neighborhood.

I uploaded a photo of the door hanger to ChatGPT and asked it to create a ZIP file of calendar invites for each event.

Boom! It worked perfectly. I downloaded a ZIP file with more than two dozen calendar invites that I added to my calendar.
Very impressive and helpful.

A notional design studio. via Ethan Marcotte

ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-notional-design-studio/

Last week, my country’s far-right administration announced they were establishing an “America by Design” initiative, along with a so-called National Design Studio to oversee it. That studio will, to quote its own homepage, “improve how Americans experience their government — online, in person, and the spaces in between.” After seeing the announcement, I read through the “America by Design” web page. And I have some thoughts.
