Fascinating yet unnerving: The Follower by @driesdepoorter uses AI to track the behind-the-scenes of Instagram influencers via open access cameras. It beautifully exposes the crafted reality of social media but also questions our privacy in public spaces. #AI #PrivacyArt

I took this pic that shows the horrific #s of big cats that have been slaughtered over the last 50 years. They said Covid intensified the poaching 10x and now it’s orchestrated by organized crime syndicates and the called it the 2nd pandemic.

The videographers who captured this are Dereck & Beverly Joubert. I met them last night at their presentation in Ft Lauderdale. They are doing incredible work in Africa trying to save endangered animals and helping villages there too.

Yikes, ChatGPT uses 17 oz of water for every 5 to 50 prompts. The water is from rivers in Iowa. ChatGPT users, is this news to you? If so, will it impact your usage?

Thanksgiving needs a rebrand. We want the time off and to see the fam, just not while celebrating genocide and colonization.

These days it’s more than experience and skills that are required, you have to bring efficiency, creativity, forward thinking & a network of implementors to the table. Business is no longer just business… it’s also art, collaboration, passion and community.

This is important
It took them less then 48 hours to make sure depositors at SBV were covered, yet student debt cancelation is means-tested and is being challenged by the court. Just in case you forgot who exactly the system is designed to work for and against.

Tech is changing so fast! 🧐
Love this stat: Cost in $ to train an AI system to a top 5 validation accuracy of 93% or more on Imagenet went from $1,113 to $4.6 - a 99.59% decrease in cost in 5 years from 2017. Evidence of the deflationary impact of tech.
