Scripting News: Thursday, September 21, 2023
This NYT article (no paywall) is a summary of how tech is moving quickly to bring ChatGPT-like functionality to people's content, through email and cloud-based documents. It's remarkable how quickly this is happening, and not surprising because ChatGPT is such a compelling app, and it's doubly-so when applied to our own writing. But so far there's one glaring omission, these bots don't know where my blog is. Who is going to fill that gap, not with an experiment, but with something up to par at least with the way Bard understands Gmail, which is still pretty simple, but I imagine it's only going to get better, quickly. #The NYT used to have a sports section, now when you click a link in their Sports feed it asks for more money. And they don't appear to have specific coverage for NY sports teams. They're the Google of news. We need an EZ-Pass for News to route around their dominance.#
And now would be a great time to put together a group of NY-metro sports bloggers into a nice publication. There's real money in sports in the city.#
