I started working full-time when I was 17 and I have seen a lot of swings in fortune. Having a blast one year and a rough patch the next. Life and business are never static. Over the years I have begun to adopt somewhat of a stoic attitude. What will be, will be; all I […]
Wow! Every day when I wake up in the morning there’s a new AI breakthrough waiting for me. It’s incredible how fast this is changing. I’ve been in IT all my life but have never seen this kind of rapid change. Here’s what happened today – Bing made AI image generation free for everyone! Yes, […]
I wrote to you 2 days ago about how it’s the Open-Source community that is driving the most cutting-edge innovation in AI.

I was watching this Netflix show the other day about a guy who goes about the country talking to couples who’ve got money problems and helping them sort it out by becoming better money managers. It’s got a lot of sensible, practical but hard-to-follow advice. Not for me, because I’ve lived by those rules all […]
Have you been hanging out on social networks lately? Did you notice that they are all beginning to look the same? A few years ago Twitter was Twitter.

People have been telling you that AI is still not as smart as humans and we still have an edge. They are wrong. The truth is, AI is already way smarter than humans and we just can’t compete. The only edge that we still have is that we are a general AI. i.e. we can […]
Do you think it’s a good idea to wait? Wait for good things to happen to you? Wait for the wind to start blowing your way. Wait for life to turn a corner? I don’t believe that waiting is a good idea. If you learn to wait then you could end up waiting all life. […]
