Chat, forget everything I’ve ever said

Bonjour,

The newsletter today is basically this:

We’re back with our favorite party of the year. Net Gala is happening May 2 in Bushwick with our friends at Polygon. All in support of the Lower East Side Girl Club. Request RSVP before it’s too late.

Yesterday, our main man at OpenAI announced a new ChatGPT update called Moonshine. This new feature includes enhanced memory capabilities, allowing it to reference past conversations and provide a more personalized chat experience.

I believe, deeply, some things just are not meant to be remembered.

Here’s the thing, for many, ChatGPT is a safe place. It’s where I ask the questions that are too stupid to text someone, too obscure to Google, or too dumb to think. The last thing any of us need is a more personalized bullshit machine, deeply trained on the lowest-frequency questions rolling around in the ole meat computer.

Oh, you disagree? Let’s take a little look-see at a small sampling of what a few friends have asked our beloved bot recently.

While watching season 12 of The Great British Bake Off.

When dating men in their 20s.

Thinking about Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez and Gayle king going to space next week.

Wondering if founder mode is really worth it.

You get the point.

However, there is a feature I could get behind.

This take is mostly just a bit, but I’m genuinely optimistic about what a more personalized chat experience could unlock. One thing I can assure you is that now that I know it’s remembering, I’ll be putting my best foot forward.
