SHOULD YOU ADD SCREENSHOTS TO DOCUMENTATION?

This article looks at the advantages and disadvantages to adding screenshots to documentation and provides guidelines for using screenshots in documentation. Screenshots in documentation can be bad as outdated screenshots can cause customers to lose trust in the documentation accuracy, they make pages load more slowly, they make the documentation less accessible, and using them can cause writers to produce lower-quality instructions. However, they can be useful as they make it easier to find relevant parts of the content, provide a visual frame of reference for readers, and can supplement confusing task steps.

OPENAI DEMOS A CONTROL METHOD FOR SUPERINTELLIGENT AI

OpenAI launched a superalignment program earlier this year to find a technical means to control a superintelligent AI system. It has devoted 20% of its compute to the effort and hopes to have solutions by 2027. The first preprint paper from the superalignment team tests whether a weaker AI (GPT-2) can supervise a stronger one (GPT-4). OpenAI is offering US $10 million in grants for work on a variety of alignment approaches.
