Weirdo's Weekly Update — 19 Jun, 2023

AI News

In a 'here comes the sun' moment for Beatles fans worldwide, AI has brought John Lennon back to life, digitally extracting his voice from an old cassette recording. Even more exciting, this tech wizardry has enabled Paul McCartney to produce a "new" Beatles song featuring Lennon's vocals. Inspired by the AI system used in Peter Jackson's documentary, 'Get Back,' the track is set for release later this year.

AI's magic isn't just limited to music; it's revolutionizing the professional world too. Take Amazon's leaked internal document with rumored interest in AI chatbot ChatGPT for automating tasks as an example. 67 ideas in the document titled "Generative AI-ChatGPT Impact and Opportunity Analysis" are another example of how fast the world of AI is moving. We have you covered if you want to stay up-to-date in the world of AI.

Something to think about

"You can be relaxed and dedicated. Just because you worry more, doesn't mean you care more.” James Clear

"I heard my mom asking our neighbor for some salt. We had salt at home so I asked her why she was asking.

She told me, "They don't have much money and they sometimes ask us for things. So I asked for something small that wouldn't burden them. I want them to feel as if we needed them too. That way, it will be much easier for them to ask us for anything they need." unknown

A question to ask yourself
