Pausing subscriptions again + AI

Hi, quick update, am well inside the AI rabbit hole or whirlwind at this point, Spain has taken a back seat, as you’ve seen, so have paused subscriptions again. The last I looked, there was another anti-heroic corrupt politician on TV insisting that they hadn’t done it. Only 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week for everyone, right?

Seems like an actual full-on paradigm shift to me for all sorts of areas of life and diving deep has felt like the in-depth reporting on the Catalan separatist trial or the first year of the pandemic. Intense. Everybody should be paying attention. AI is going to affect almost all businesses and jobs in the next 1-5 years. The changes will be enormous. At the very least, you should be thinking about it as the Internet in the 1990s and arguments could be made for Industrial Revolution or Enlightenment level change.

And not only is it a grand strategic, very-long term shift in the playing field for every business on the planet, in how the game is now going to be played, but that new game itself appears to be changing every week because the top-level global players inventing the new rules are themselves in a ferociuos fight to win global attention and new user habits.

This week’s most mind-blowing thing, although it’s only Thursday: they are building real-life C3PO. They have just put GPT inside a humanoid robot.

Already doing very interesting stuff for some new clients and their projects, so if you want to talk about that, just reach out with an email or a message. It’s hard to think through how to apply it to actual businesses in each case. AI is not going to do it all for us just yet. Am also preparing some slides and info and examples from the last few months’ learnings.

Thanks for reading and I hope you're well, wherever you are are in the world.
