Leslie Nooteboom(@LeslieNooteboom):Using frontier models weeks before release feels like living in the future. The hard part isn't showing its technical capability, it's finding simple, current-day uses for it. It reminds me of my favourite thought experiment: if modern you were dropped into an ancient civilization, how would you be useful without being burned as a wizard?
