Reading Time: 2 minIt seems that every iteration of ChatGPT and similar technologies is amazing, and the new “GPT-4o” certainly continues that trend. If you’re not familiar with it, here is a quick peek: Along with just text, you can see that GPT-4o also can interpret video, images, and other info. Not only can it understand more about […]

Schools need to understand AI
Reading Time: 2 minOver the past few weeks I’ve talked to handful of high school students about how AI is being treated at their schools, and the results are largely disappointing (though somewhat understandable). Ultimately, I have three main takeaways from the conversations. Schools are scared of AI The general thought from the schools is “No AI for […]
Interruptions with unbalanced scale
Reading Time: < 1 minWhen it comes to spam, unbalanced scale is a rapidly increasing problem. It’s bad enough when one person reaches out directly to you with an unsolicited offer, but when that one person can quickly send out hundreds or thousands of those offers, things fall apart quickly. It goes back to a post from nearly a […]
The new jargon that comes with AI
Reading Time: 1 minPerhaps more than any other area, changing technology generally brings with it a slew of new acronyms and terms. We have things like HTML, DNS, SEO, HTTP, PHP and dozens of others that are used nearly every day in tech-related fields. The explosion of AI is bringing a new set of words and acronyms for […]
Who will reap the value of AI?
Reading Time: 2 minThe future of AI is still quite muddy, but it’s clear that big changes are coming. As AI continues to develop, who stands to gain the most from it? While it could be companies like ours, or perhaps huge companies like Google or Apple, I think it might benefit the average user the most. In […]
We seem like slowed-down whale songs
Reading Time: < 1 minI consume a lot of content in order to learn, and many others consume far more than I do. It feels like a torrid pace, but compared to AI tools it’s laughably slow. Back in 2016, Sam Altman (the man behind OpenAI, which is behind ChatGPT) shared this idea: “There are certain advantages to being […]
Our customers don’t need more content
Reading Time: 2 minThe amount of content generated on the internet every day is staggering. Using YouTube as example, you’d need over 11,000 computers all streaming YouTube channels just to keep up with the new content being added in real-time, and that wouldn’t touch the billions of videos already uploaded. It’s crazy! Despite that, it seems that AI […]
Yes, AI will take some jobs
Reading Time: < 1 minIt’s a foregone conclusion that AI is going to replace some jobs in the coming years. I can’t say whether it’s be a small or large number, and no one knows for sure, but it’s clear that at least some jobs will be replaced by AI. This sounds like a bad thing, but is it? […]
AI won’t take over this blog
Reading Time: < 1 minWhile AI is already writing a ton of the content that you come across on the internet, that won’t ever be the case on here. That’s not because AI isn’t good enough or useful, but it goes against what I’m trying to accomplish. Recently, Blair Enns shared the following on Twitter: AI is only eating […]
AI will lead to more synchronous communication
Reading Time: 2 minI’m a big of of asynchronous communication, where two people can talk to each other at different times, like via email where one party can respond to the other two hours later. It’s why many people, particularly younger ones, dislike phone calls. Phone calls demand your attention immediately, rather than giving a buffer like with […]
