Keeping up in this new generative mega-multi-meta-DAO-verse makes it hard to quantum all that spatial neural netting. You down with GPT? Ya, you know me. That's why I package up a small part of the internet that catches my eye, percolates my thoughts, stirs my mind and share it with you from time to time.

📢 Message from the Management

I’m starting to figure some things out and getting this vessel sea worthy. She’s got a sail, the hull is strong, and we’ve got enough content to last a long time. Now that I’ve figured out what value I’m actually providing, I’m able to deliver on certain things.

This is Something
Sent out the first email on Wednesday for the top ten YouTube videos that I consumed and thought were valuable or insightful in one way, shape, or form. They apparently were, receiving a 64% click rate! So, I’m going to keep on doing that cause it jumped the click rate average up 40.9%. We’ll see if that holds up, but a good sign that those videos have some value waiting to be unlocked.

Big Expansions
Going to spread my wings and push some of this content through Linkedin, specifically the weekly YouTube compilations. It will still be delivered to subscribers directly on Wednesday and then publicly on Linkedin erry Friday.

Audio Version
SP or SLP? By that I mean ‘Short Play’ or ‘Super Long Play’?

Short one is about 17 minutes and the long one runs about 40 minutes. Last week, I only made the SLP version, since it was my first and first to have an AI cohost. Definitely changes up the show’s dynamic having access to a state of the art Knowledge-Based Autonomous Trained Transformer. Most of today’s Large Language Models still have Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPT), which are kind of like diapers if you thing about it.

We get into why each story is significant or impactful to its industry, draw analogies to help better understand concepts, and share my hot takes on what’s what. Plus, I’ll get you some of that new alpha that it’s alfalfa!

Have a listen here with the new AI-cohost!
