"We let the AI figure out how to make money"

⚡ "We let the AI figure out how to make money" 🤯When asked how chatGPT will ever make money, Sam Altman, the CEO, said:"Honestly, we have no idea."But the next sentence is what really cracked me up:"We focus on making the AI a general intelligence first and then we will ask it how it can make money for us."🤯Do you understand the profound impact of this?This is Silicon Valley business building spirit taken to the EXTREMES.It has been normal the past 2 decades to focus on product first, get to l

Well, here is the answer.I love this type of machine:it's an innovation that is only possible through relentless customer centricity.What's the biggest need of an olive farmer during harvest?Speed. Ok, let's make the machine fast, first and foremo

This actor was created by an AI

This actor was created by an AIIn this case, the model is used for "good purposes", e.g. for video or photo shoots, as a moderator, as a face-to-the-customer in the customer success environment.In the future, however, we will also see more and more "bad actors", i.e. artificially generated 3D models that, for example, emulate an important personality and put words into his or her mouth.The phenomenon is already known today as "deep fakes."The Pandorra's box in this area has been opened.However,

Hot take: Powerpoint is good enough!

Hot take: Powerpoint is good enough!I always wonder if there is actually a need for a tool that is somehow "better than" Powerpoint or Google Slides. Imho no.Sure, Powerpoint is overloaded with features, some of which are hidden out of plain sight and require a 3 year bachelors degree to actually start using them, but...New competitors in the space often seem to disrupt established workflows for their users. Why? Because many of the features people have come to expect over the years simply do no

This robotic, remote-controlled rescue ring operates for 30 minutes under any condition

⚡ This robotic, remote-controlled rescue ring operates for 30 minutes under any conditionTime and time again I’m amazed when someone introduces innovation in products that seemed fully done.I mean, a rescue ring has literally barely changed for hundreds of years.Now add some autonomy and AI to it and so it is able to detect someone at danger, launch itself into the see and drive to the person.Et voilà: it’s possible to augment life guards or add a layer of security to formerly unguarded beaches.

This car jumps - but why?It's an BYD U9, an electric super sports car with over 1.000 horsepower and going 0 to 100 kmh in less than 2 seconds, while costing only 137.000€.The video looks funny, but is actually the demo of a "vehicle body control system" developed by BYD. They claim to be the first Chinese company to have developed a fully integrated body control system.They also claims that this system is industry-leading - world wide.This is profound, because it marks a milestone of Chinese co
