All we want for Christmas is AGI, right? Well, the world’s leader in AI says it’s not happening in 2024.

What is AGI? AGI is the concept of a machine that can perform any intellectual task that a human being can do, not limited to specific functions like current AI systems.

My thoughts: This may be a good thing. Once AGI is here, there is no going back. And we can say companies won’t use it to cut costs sharply, but that would be naive.

🔗 Google Reportedly Replacing Some Human Staff With AI

My take: Many of these cuts were made to their ad sales department. It’s sad when people lose jobs, but I have been on the other end of many calls from this sales team, and well, here we are.

🔗 AI companies would be required to disclose copyrighted training data under new bill

Images:

You can also create incredible landscape images:

Prompt (replace just the first part to see anything you want):

a Hawaiian waterfall from above, muted colors, cinematic contour lighting, low contrast ProLog, awardwinning composition, chromatic aberration --ar 4:5 --stylize 750 --v 6

⚠️ An end-of-the-year reminder.

I believe in being organized and focusing on every little detail. I often say that my life is great because of it, and I genuinely believe that.

Focusing on the little details has helped all of the “coin flips” in my life come my way because knowing every detail means always having an edge.

If you do things with care, you’ll do everything with care.
