🥟 Chao-Down #50 Text boxes are cool again, Firms draft up policies on ChatGPT-use, Publishers face off against tech giants over AI

The Verge has a new piece out sharing how ChatGPT ignited an AI arms race centered around the humble, but universal text box. If you would have told me years ago that this little element of HTML would capture the world’s imagination, I would be skeptical.

It does speak to how text and communicating through it has become the most powerful interface and as AI researcher Andrej Karpathy calls the most popular programming language.

Certainly we’re in for exciting times ahead.
