Thanks to AI, the world is moving faster than ever. Anyone who stops learning is going to have a harder and harder time. Even though I try to “level up” a few hours every week, it still feels like too little. Time to kill the streaming platforms and stop watching content that gives me nothing in return. I’ve cancelled all my subscriptions except Apple TV, where at least there seems to be some basic effort to produce content with actual value. So instead of an evening series on Netflix, I’m trying lectures, podcasts, interviews…
What do you think? Will I last? Anyone else want to try?
Business & Technology 👨💻
* A nice website has appeared that tracks whether AI has actually started making money for the big players. What do you think?

* Drones - beyond delivering, photographing and fighting - can now also fell trees.
* OpenAI no longer wants to publish research on the darker sides of AI. Hmm.

Travel 🧳

Unclassifiable 🧠
