Hey y’all!

This week, we’re covering:

Twitter algo is open source now
Similarities between AI and seatbelts in 1940s
When will real-life Jarvis come to existence? Soon.
I’m going to be announcing something in the next week…

ChatGPT can now browse the entire internet.

This is what is happening with AI right now.

People are afraid to adapt to it. It will replace you only if you don’t learn how to use it.

Jarvis is now reality.
My GPT-4 coding assistant can now build & deploy brand new web apps!
It initializes my project, builds my app, creates a GitHub repo, and deploys it to Vercel.
All from simply using my voice.

What the actual…

How close are we to Iron Man’s Jarvis? Seems like less than a couple of years.

I (probably) less than 100 years, everyone will be able to afford an assistant like Jarvis.

Just got off a call with Mr. Prompts. He'll be launching something very very soon...
I'm pumped!
Can you guess what it is?
