Watch my GPT-4 voice assistant:
- take in a complex coding task
- write the code
- create a PR on my GitHub repo
All I had to do was tell it what to do.
This is the future of software.

Let's talk about radiotrophic fungi.
I want to start with the most surprising fact about them: they don't just SURVIVE in high radiation environments, they grow at *FOUR TIMES* the rate they would in background radiation.
Our best guess is they're "eating" radiation.

As tech leaders, we should make the most important problems to solve crystal clear to the team.
Then see what they come up with, and course correct.

GPT4 will be out soon and will probably cause a similar economic shock to one from Covid. Instant distribution with nearly instant adoption and nearly instant productivity increase for hundreds of millions of knowledge workers. Brace yourselves, 2023 is coming

Let's review. Musk went on a bender and offered to buy Twitter at a price based on a weed meme. Then he agreed to a binding agreement to purchase it. Apparently he didn't fully grasp how binding it was. Then he tried to get out of the deal. Twitter sued to force him to ...

Huge problem with this achingly awful ‘leadership’ contest is that they both stand there admitting everything’s broken. The economy is on its knees, public services are shattered and trust is in the bin. And no it’s not Covid and Ukraine that broke us. It’s them.

This lady spoke more ‘truth to power’ in 90 seconds than all of the self-aggrandising prats in legacy media have in over two years. Starmer couldn’t even maintain eye contact. An utterly contemptuous and contemptible toad.
