Mom Tricks Kids, Your Future Salary, and Should AI Know Your Heart and Secrets,
A few articles and apps that you should check out.
Morning y’all!
I had my tough conversation yesterday and it worked out pretty well, better than I thought it would go tbh. I’d say that 9 out of 10 hard convos end in that way and despite knowing this I still think more negatively about what I think might happen than what actually does.
I’ll admit that my anxiety and fear can still get the best of me as I attempt to level-set expectations to the lowest denominator.
But we don’t have nearly as much to worry about as we think! And as I mentioned yesterday I just want to encourage you to have those hard convos, to ask the hard questions that demand answers. We will all be better for it.

Oh:
On Thursday, several major tech companies, including Google, Intel, Microsoft, Meta, AMD, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Cisco, and Broadcom, announced the formation of the Ultra Accelerator Link (UALink) Promoter Group to develop a new interconnect standard for AI accelerator chips in data centers.
The group aims to create an alternative to Nvidia's proprietary NVLink interconnect technology, which links together multiple servers that power today's AI applications like ChatGPT.
I find most of these types of organizations to be rather useless; the growth of technology doesn’t care about these things and usually ignores them altogether.
An interesting question! Should AI understand your heart and secret life? I mean, eventually they may know all of this but the question is one of ethics and privacy.
Here you can build an LLM app with RAG to Chat with PDF using Mistral’s Codestral in less than 5 minutes. A single prompt to working python app. Get it.
The US Federal government now has Chief AI Officers to help deploy all of this amazing technology in a responsible way, whatever that means.
Wait, the CEO of a tech company lied? No. No way. Not ever. And was Sam actually fired from YC? Paul Graham says that it’s just not true. Does it even matter?
These headphones allow you to focus sound by just looking.
Apparently if you add ?udm=4 it’ll give you Google Search without AI. Sometimes I actually really do prefer it, if I’m not using Perplexity.
Some honest thoughts about your job and salary when it comes to AI. I’m not entirely sure about the long-term outcome but I know it’s definitely changing people’s jobs in real ways. And, to be honest, I don’t use AI nearly as much as I thought I would at this stage in my own participation — so many of the things that I do are still very manual.
This AI Robot will set you back $800 for your kids. Designed for kids ages 5 to 10, and offers a range of games and activities as well as the ability to have open-ended conversations. Can’t wait to see what happens when they ask about how kids are made and all that jazz.
The thing that I like most about this is actually the implementation: Just use email. I can see this being well-used and appreciated if the results are good enough.
Use AI to scrape any website. That’s it.
Very clever mom who uses AI to trick her kids into cleaning.
Create interactive product demos with just a few clicks. Looks interesting but I haven’t had the time to give it a real spin yet.
Ethical AI for creators and artists who want to protect their work.
Technology wins as Sony decides to use AI to save money. Sorry, not sorry.
Perplexity is launching Pages to create — you guessed it — pages of content based on your searches. Not entirely unique outputs but the workflow into it is curious.
An IDE and code editor with AI baked in. It’s called MarsCode and has a powerful AI assistant to help with code completion, explanations, and debugging.
timeOS is an AI productivity companion that can help you get more done with your day. Essentially an AI-powered task manager? I guess.
Oh, and a very fun lesson on memory and meaning — makes you seriously think about “deep” understanding and how we retain things. And enjoy that and this minimalist temporary email service. Legit!
