Morning y’all!

Today’s a bit light but that’s ok! I’m sure we’ve all got things to do. For instance, I’m considering a bunch of new projects and how to best spend my time. I’ve also got a very light Twitter experiment that I’m running but it’s too early to know if it’ll work.

I suppose that’s what an experiment is really about. 🤪

On that note, a hilarious film created by AI. I mean, I can’t stop giggling.

OpenAI Japan’s CEO just shared that the next model is going to be 100 times more powerful than GPT-4. Yikes.

I think we’re all fine with this, right?

The US Dept. of Justice issued a subpoena to NVIDIA for antitrust. Might hurt the stock price, for a moment.
