When Maduro woke up in a different country, a lot of us here in the states were revolted, me included. However, when some time passed, I started reaching out to my friends in Latin America to hear their perspectives, and I was surprised to learn that a lot of them actually

Tesla, $TSLA, sales in Europe have been going down in Europe for the past few months. In fact, things are so bad over there that YoY change in sales for the EV car company is around -50%. Why is this happening? For one thing, intense competition from Chinese manufacturers

So, something that worries me is how people have been using AI lately. The number of accounts that I hear of people using it for emotional support is terrifying: 👉They use it as a therapist, telling it very personal secrets that aren’t protected by doctor/ patient

If you change jobs frequently, your income will increase, right? Wrong. At least not anymore. According to recent data, it seems that the premium for switching jobs has gone down, and now, staying at your current job is almost as valuable. Why? There are a couple of reasons:

I have a ton of respect for New York. With a population of 8.4 million, the city is bringing in almost $2.3 T in GDP For reference, Tokyo, the city with the second highest GDP of $2.1 T, has around 14million people living there

With AI deciding the future, you’d think that most AI patents come out of Harvard, MIT, or Stanford But you’d be wrong. Most of today’s AI patents come out of a university in China named Tsinghua, and it’s not even close Now, I don’t know whether this is just a vanity metric

With AI adoption skyrocketing, there is more and more concern regarding how these models perform. Interestingly, accuracy measures and hallucination measures are two different things: 👉Accuracy measures look at how many questions the AI answers correctly out of all of the
