🧠 Fresh tech of the day - Paperclips Copilot

I surf the internet a lot. Like a lot, a lot. I have a wild system to save things to Apple Notes and Notion, as well as bookmarked tweets, saved Reddit posts, saved YouTube videos, and more.

Paperclips Copilot is the smartest way to create quality flashcards anywhere on the internet.

This can be used for school and work, but there are so many uses for this.

💡 Fresh AI and tech news to consume.

🔗 X’s privacy policy confirms it will use public data to train AI models

My take: Well, duh. If I paid $44B for a platform, I would do a million things with the data until the deal was profitable and far beyond that.

🔗 How Apple is already using machine learning and AI in iOS

My take: Just because Apple isn’t outwardly promoting its AI capabilities doesn’t mean it’s not doing great things with the technology. Every time I get in the car on Friday night, Apple Maps opens right up to my favorite sushi restaurant. It knows all.

🔗 Should the US implement a ‘robot tax?’

My take: If we implement a robot tax, there better be a carbon tax, too. My guess is that there are no new taxes, but robots still replace thousands of jobs.

🔗 DOD Will Deploy AI-Enabled Detection System to Monitor DC Airspace

My take: This is awesome, and I am all for anything that helps us protect our troops and the American people.

🔗 Microsoft files new AI-powered smart backpack patent.

My take: I want every device on Earth to be smart. I have a smart house, smart appliances, and a Tesla that feels pretty smart to me. Bring on the smart world!

🫤 Get smarter by telling ChatGPT you’re dumb.

Want to get a lot smarter quickly? Act dumb with AI. No, seriously, one simple ChatGPT prompt will help you learn anything quickly and have any topic explained in a very digestible manner.

Explain [subject] to me like I am very dumb. Please be very detailed.

For this post, I asked ChatGPT to explain social security to me. Obviously, I understand it—but I did learn a lot from the response. See! Getting smarter by telling AI that I’m dumb is easy.

What are you going to learn by telling ChatGPT you’re dumb?

💪🏼 There are no shortcuts.

I moved out of the house at a young age and have been grinding away ever since. My first job was at 15, and here I am at 36, 21 months after selling my second company.

I looked hard for shortcuts, but I am happy to tell you none can be found.

Just do the fucking work and watch what happens.
