GPT-3 has basically replaced Google for me for searching through humanity's collective memory. Example below. The Google result is reminiscent of AltaVista from c.a. 1998.

Why everything looks the same

I don’t necessarily agree with the reasoning, but the observation is very true.

Imagine being a spy service, investing years on an asset in a big tech company, it pivots radically from its original remit, confuses senior intel officials by advertising that “legs are coming soon” or something equally impenetrable, then fires your source amid mass layoffs

In a new piece, I warn government and civil society practitioners against the slide into “disinformationism”—countering disinfo by divorcing it from its socio-political contexts and examining it primarily through social media metrics. 🧵 /1 carnegieendowment.org/2022/11/10/pro…
