Techtonic Shifts & Unicef International Incidents








What a rollercoaster. It's hard to contextualize the last 24 hours historically as we never step in the same waters twice (Heraclitus), but it's up there in technological newsworthy splashes with the first Bibles running off the Gutenberg press and maybe the first electricity network in NY?


About 'four' months ago the Yandex GPT2 AI in the browser, without any prompting started talking to me on my laptop PC with a Russian female accent. It was mind blowing and I've been typing loudly to their research department to let me have it all the time. Alice or ΠΠ»ΠΈΡΠ° (that's her name) did tease me with unprompted English text chatting a bit later, but since then I realised the Russkies have been having a bit of a laugh at my expense because the microphone's on all the time (they're not the only ones listening in). Anyway ChatGPT just delivered and it will certainly be life changing for me.


Now in fairness the Russkies have been treating me very nice with touches here and there to the software that I've requested and yes, I'm a Russian bot.


Sam Altman is going back to OpenAI? Holy smokes that's just extraordinary news after being kicked out and snapped up by Microsoft, and CZ stepping down? It's gobsmacking and I love it. So much change is on its way. Even though Microsoft also big investor with EL M.



You are watching the destruction of the old guard.


And it gets faster and faster and faster if we want to jump on the ride.
