Following your remark, I'd like to point out that I'm working on a better showcase of the courses before the paywall. Can you share what you'd like to see? It'd help a lot! Thanks
Awesome to hear you're already working on showcasing the courses. I think the current "Table of contents" and video trailer do a decent job of outlining what the course will focus on.
What's missing for me is a sense of how the course is conducted. Will there be quizzes? Is it in video form? Is it mainly reading on your own with practical examples to follow in e.g. Midjourney? Is there a teacher or someone who can help explain the subject matter or answer specific questions? Etc.
One way to address this would be to let people do e.g. the first lesson in the course before having to pay, just to get a feel for what you can expect.
I love what you're building here, and I think it's critical that our kids get to learn about the potential and practical applications of AI as early as possible, since it's only going to become more integrated into our lives in the future!
Amen! It's funny how quickly we've gotten used to the avalanche of AI releases and went from "this is PURE MAGIC" to "Yeah, of course there's another chatbot / text-to-video tool, whatevs."
I find it really interesting that the innovations seem to come in waves, where 2 or 3 weeks will go by like this week, and then... BAM! Like 3 companies announce their biggest news so far this year, all at once.
I feel it's been less predictable than that. We've had stretches with multiple weeks of pretty crazy progress, some "slow" weeks, and some in-between. Guess at least some announcements are timed to coincide with certain fairs, etc. but otherwise everyone's racing to launch the next big AI thing, so we're likely to see more crazy weeks ahead.
Still, I think the biggest dealbreakers this year were GPT-4, The Code Interpreter, and Image Recognition in Bing/Bard. The last two were indeed very close to each other.
Maybe the bigger announcements are a function of reflexivity, like when the market makers actually move the market. If Code Interpreter comes out, Google knows the announcement is coming out this week, so they prep their own "mind-blowing" news about Bard, or Amazon talks about AI in advertising, etc.

Thank you very much for taking some of your time to share this detailed answer. It helps a lot :) Time to 🧑💻
Not at all, I appreciate you working to improve the product - good luck and keep me posted!
I think this is what passes for a slow week in AI news these days. Of course, 2 years ago, any of these stories would have rocked the world.

Can't rule that out, depending on how much of advance knowledge all these actors have!
