Anyone watching the WNBA Finals? That game last night was 🔥

How many bags has Google fumbled at this point?
Ahead of the curve, poor execution.

Just for the record, we don’t have super human intelligence yet.
As of today, LLMs just rely on “next token prediction”

It’s crazy cause LLMs are just “predicting the most likely next word” based on text it has seen in training
The real power will be in leveraging them to create commands for plug-ins.

One of the most consequential past few weeks in tech in a long time.
1. Explosion of Generative AI applications
2. Apple making its long-awaited move in Spatial Computing
3. SEC’s judgement about altcoins being securities - leaving Bitcoin out of the list
Lots still undetermined but it’s time to take calculated risks out here!
