The graph error OpenAI made has nothing do with AI but with internal organisation and quality controls. In my own work it would be unthinkable that an error of this magnitude would slip through to the live presentation. How can/could this happen, is OpenAI a very strange / atypical organisation?
And if they can't control the quality here what means that in a general sense?

Couldnt get a clear grip on your interests from your feed, so came here to say this too. Also markets ( #invisibleHand - theory of moral sentiments, and the wealth of nations) , #qualityControl, and #openBSD, I reckon. I'm delving these at the moment and it's super interesting. Also Enterprise Resource Planning software suites (specifically #ERP5 but it might prove too deep for my delving ability) and sometimes #cybernetics (which goes back to #mathematical #complexity and #communicationTheory ).

I just wanted to compliment the elegance of your penultimate sentence:

> "Machine learning is great for use cases where you don't understand the problem well enough to articulate it as a set of rules and where the value of a correct answer significantly outweighs the cost of an incorrect one."

I'm grazing a bit of Quality Control theory at the moment and defining quality is an inherent "problem". Your assertion is a really handy (and broadly applicable) rule of thumb. Thank you!

On my 4th iteration of this process, having to overhaul it after discovering #Microsoft #PowerAutomate triggers for #SharePoint won’t fire on file movements w/in the same library 🙄. This doesn’t do exactly what I want but it’s close enough.

Now I just gotta build out all these #flows, #VBA #scripts, #PowerBI analyses, & the #PBI #dashboard.

Making more work for myself than is necessary, but I don’t want to be embarrassed by a sloppy, inconsistent product.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: PayPal's #Honey extension once again receives the "featured" honor in the Chrome Web Store, proving that mediocrity is indeed an art form! 🎨 With a staggering 17 million users and Google turning a blind eye to review verification, it's clear that quality control is just a suggestion. 🐝🔍

I worked for a #Cheesecake #Bakery when I was in high school. Sometimes the employees would get to eat cheesecake for free, but it was always the cracked ones. When I asked the manager why we didn't sell the cracked ones when they tasted just as good, she said, "These aren't good enough for our customers. Once the cakes crack, all the calories leak out."
