Go ad-free with TradeBriefs Premium What OpenAI Really Wants - WIRED    The air crackles with an almost Beatlemaniac energy as the star and his entourage tumble into a waiting Mercedes van. They’ve just ducked out of one event and are headed to another, then another, where a frenzied mob awaits. As they careen through the streets of London—the short hop from Holborn to Bloomsbury—it’s as if they’re surfing one of civilization’s before-and-after moments. The history-making force personified inside this car has captured the attention of the world. Everyone wants a piece of it, from the students who’ve waited in line to the prime minister. Inside the luxury van, wolfing down a salad, is the neatly coiffed 38-year-old entrepreneur Sam Altman, cofounder of OpenAI; a PR person; a security specialist; and me. Altman is unhappily sporting a blue suit with a tieless pink dress shirt as he whirlwinds through London as part of a monthlong global jaunt through 25 cities on six continents. As he gobbles his greens—no time for a sit-down lunch today—he reflects on his meeting the previous night with French president Emmanuel Macron. Pretty good guy! And very interested in artificial intelligence. Riding with Altman, I can almost hear the ringing, ambiguous chord that opens “A Hard Day’s Night”—introducing the future. Last November, when OpenAI let loose its monster hit, ChatGPT, it triggered a tech explosion not seen since the internet burst into our lives. Suddenly the Turing test was history, search engines were endangered species, and no college essay could ever be trusted. No job was safe. No scientific problem was immutable.

The new summertime Zuck spars with MMA fighters on a floating barge. In a joint video post on Instagram with Nigerian and New Zealand MMA fighter Israel Adesanya, Zuckerberg trains on the water with Adesanya and Australian MMA fighter Alexander Volkanovski, kicking, grappling, and flipping — all set to a clip from the "Mission: Impossible" soundtrack. We still have yet to see a cage fight between Zuckerberg and Elon Musk, a potential match-up that's been discussed since June, when Musk tweeted that he'd be up for a cage match with Zuckerberg and the Meta CEO agreed. While that fight may never happen at all — Zuckerberg has since said "Elon isn't serious" about an official fight after the Tesla CEO later floated the idea of a "noble" debate instead — the Facebook cofounder has continued showing off his new shredded persona in full force.

Briefly, Part 1 will explain the whys and hows of quasi-experiments, as well as the nuances involved when applying approaches like PSM. In Part 2, I will talk more about the limitations of quasi-experiments and what you should be cautious about when making decisions based on them. I will also propose a framework for heterogenous impact estimation that can help overcome extrapolation bias. In Part 3… I’m still not sure yet. You may also have come across other articles explaining Quasi-Experiments, but I’m still going to try explaining it my way. Give it a read. The cost of developing and launching products and features is ultimately justified by the positive impact on the consumer. It is thus unsurprising to hear product managers make all sorts of claims, such as “We are thrilled to announce that our latest feature launch has led to an impressive 12% increase in revenue!” Continued here
