You may use it to fuel upcoming AI conversations with your family:</p>\n\n<p>\ud83c\udfb5 <a href=\"{Link}\">Meta Audiobox Maker</a></p>\n\n<p>Firstly, it has a solid text-to-speech (TTS) model that works quite well on your custom text.</p>\n\n<p>But I found the interface noteworthy because it allows you to easily create Audio stories narrated by multiple speakers using a drag-and-drop builder and funny audio effects.</p>\n\n<p>You can even download the MP3 and send it to your family or friends, completely free.

But all I'm doing this year is catching up with the daily developments, trying to bring order into chaos to help you (and me) stay on the right side of change.</p>\n\n<p>It feels like we're in the middle of a slow-motion intelligence explosion. The singularity is here.</p>\n\n<p>Today, let's check out the new GPT-4 Turbo release, i.e., more powerful features, a 128k context window (enough to load a 300-paged book into a single prompt) at an API price that's only one-third GPT-4's!</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] GPT-4 Turbo: 12 New Incredible Features at a 3x Reduced Price vs GPT-4</a></p>\n\n<p>Think of all the insane apps you can build now! \ud83d\udc47</p>\n\n<p>As a TLDR, here's the brand-new features of <em>GPT-4 Turbo</em>:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Pricing reduced by a factor of 2-3x</li>\n\t<li>Context size increased from 8k tokens to 128k tokens</li>\n\t<li>JSON mode for controlled output of OpenAI Functions (check out <a href=\"{Link}\">our course</a> on Functions and embeddings)</li>\n\t<li>Parallel and simultaneous OpenAI Function Calls (again, the <a href=\"{Link}\">course</a>)</li>\n\t<li>Reproducible outputs and seeds (e.g., to recreate the same image or character in an image for a consistent story)</li>\n\t<li>Up-to-date world knowledge (cutoff April 2023)</li>\n\t<li>One ChatGPT interface for all modalities (DALL-E 3, image processing, Plugins, Code Interpreter) without needing to select them in the dropdown</li>\n\t<li>Acquire knowledge from external (WWW)</li>\n\t<li>Image input for OpenAI API</li>\n\t<li>New Text-to-speech generation capabilities (this is insane - the voices are like humans!)</li>\n\t<li>New speech recognition Whisper 3</li>\n\t<li>Introducing <em>GPTs</em></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The latter is a whole new rabbit hole to explore: You can now easily create your own flavors of little AI agents that are specialized for certain tasks.</p>\n\n<p>How? With natural language \"programming\", i.e., you tell them what to do using words not code.</p>\n\n<p>Then you can share those agents with the world - the idea is to have an <strong>app store of AI agents</strong>. And here's the kicker: you'll get a revenue share from OpenAI based on the popularity of your AI agent.</p>\n\n<p>The latter is still a vision but one that's soon be implemented according to Sam Altman, founder of OpenAI.</p>\n\n<p>Let me repeat this big idea so you don't miss it:</p>\n\n<p><strong>OpenAI creates an app store for specialized user-generated AI agents</strong> to perform any task imaginable that can be integrated into any third-party service like calendar, banking, \u00a0email, messaging, social networks, productivity, e-commerce platforms, ...!</p>\n\n<p>As I said, FOMO is not going to stop soon. All we can do is take one idea at a time and run with it to see where it takes us. Rinse.

Yes, with Python Async!</a></p>\n\n<p>My main goal with this article is to refresh your understanding of \"asynchronous programming\", one of the hidden superpowers that scales the Internet.</p>\n\n<p>Say you're building a chatbot system using OpenAI's API at the backend. How is a synchronous versus an asynchronous operation different?</p>\n\n<p>In a synchronous chatbot, when User A asks a question, the system waits for OpenAI's LLM to respond before handling User B's query. If there's a delay for User A, User B waits, leading to inefficiencies during high traffic.</p>\n\n<p>In an asynchronous setup, the system simultaneously processes User A's and User B's questions. Both queries are sent to OpenAI's LLM concurrently. Responses are relayed as received, allowing for faster, parallel processing. This ensures timely answers, regardless of query order or potential delays.</p>\n\n<p>There are many subtleties to it but the simple gist is this: Users often want that a system feels synchronous but we coders implement it in an asynchronous way so that it scales to not one but many users.</p>\n\n<p>You can copy and paste my code from the new <a href=\"{Link}\">Finxter blog tutorial</a> to try asynchronous OpenAI API mode!</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

The first sentence of my <a href=\"{Link}\">thesis</a>:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"Graphs are fundamental data structures in computer science. Wide-spread digitization generates massive amounts of interconnected, graph-structured data [...]\"</em></p>\n\n<p>Let's have a look at some real-world graphs:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>In <strong>social media</strong> platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and Reddit, the 'nodes' represent individual users, while the 'edges' represent the connections between them, like friendships, follows, or likes.</li>\n\t<li>In <strong>neural networks</strong>, like the one used in Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, the 'nodes' represent neurons (or processing units), and the 'edges' represent the weights or synapses, which are the connections between these neurons.</li>\n\t<li>For the <strong>Internet</strong>, the 'nodes' represent individual web pages, and the 'edges' represent the hyperlinks that connect these web pages to each other.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>You can also model financial networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or the USD in graph data structures.</p>\n\n<p><strong>But why should you care?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, understanding graph properties is not only a crucial skill of <em>computer scientists</em> (as opposed to <em>coders</em>), it can make you a lot of money in investing and business too. \ud83d\udc47</p>\n\n<p>An exciting characteristic of graph-structured systems are <strong>network effects</strong>. In particular <strong>Metcalfe's Law</strong>: <em>the value of the overall network grows quadratically with the number of its participants.</em></p>\n\n<p>Say you build a social network app with N nodes (=users). There are N*(N-1)/2 possible connections (edges) between those nodes.</p>\n\n<p>The value of a network -- say, the telephone network, Twitter/X, or even Bitcoin -- is often proportional to the number of possible connections.</p>\n\n<p>For example, consider this example social network</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>N=1,000</strong> users => <strong>~1 million</strong> connections</li>\n\t<li><strong>N=10,000</strong> users => <strong>~100 million</strong> connections</li>\n\t<li><strong>N=1,000,000</strong> users => <strong>~1,000 billion</strong> (!) connections</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><meta charset='utf-8'><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">The larger your network becomes, the higher the value\u00a0</span><em style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">per network participant</span></em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">. (Read this again.)</span></p>\n\n<p>We've seen this phenomenon play out in many real social networks.</p>\n\n<p>For example, Meta's annual revenue per user was $5 in 2011 with 0.8 billion users, $20 in 2017 with 2 billion users, and $40 in 2022 with 2.9 billion users. As the user growth stalled, so did the revenue growth per user.</p>\n\n<p>Savvy investors model the value of a network using Metcalfe's Law - that's the only way you could've justified an early investment in Facebook in 2011.</p>\n\n<p>It is tough to disrupt the largest network because it tends to make the most money per user and can spend the most to acquire each user.</p>\n\n<p>Don't try to compete against the dominating network in your field.</p>\n\n<p>Even if you're Google and you're trying to build your own social network, you still cannot compete.</p>\n\n<p>Now, the same holds for monetary networks like Bitcoin.</p>\n\n<p>I did the exercise and looked at the dominating decentralized monetary network Bitcoin through the lens of Metcalfe's Law and network effects:</p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 <a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] Want Exploding Prices North of $500,000 per BTC? \"Grow N\" Says Metcalfe\u2019s Law</a></p>\n\n<p>To my knowledge, this is the first attempt to model the Bitcoin price using Metcalfe's Law by setting N to the number of Bitcoin nodes rather than the number of wallet addresses. The latter is not an optimal proxy for network size, given that exchanges may custody BTC for tens of millions of users in a single wallet.</p>\n\n<p>The purpose of this article is not to provide a definitive answer on how the number of nodes can be utilized as a trading tool (although it appears to hold potential). Rather, the aim is to stimulate your thinking. If you find this approach useful, feel free to conduct your own modeling, research, or backtesting.</p>\n\n<p>Feel free to share any insight you may have - I'll publish follow-up research on the Finxter blog and share it here in the community if your insights are valuable.</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

We crave negativity and, therefore, gladly pay negative media with our clicks and attention.</li>\n\t<li>Third, you will be labeled naive when you're crazy enough to share positive expectations. Some research suggests that negative people are perceived as more intelligent, competent, and expert than positive people.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>As a result, third-party input data flowing into your brain is biased towards negativity.</p>\n\n<p>From LLM training, we know what happens with input data biases - they become output biases ingrained in the neural nets.</p>\n\n<p>But any bias is dangerous: <em>\"What gets us into trouble is not what we don't know. It's what we know for sure that just ain't so.\"</em> - <strong>Mark Twain</strong> \u2712\ufe0f</p>\n\n<p>Now, let's go to the more practical applications of this - <em><strong>how can we exploit negativity bias?</strong></em></p>\n\n<p>I think a simple exploit of negativity bias is arbitraging perception and reality of technological disruptions and exponential long-term trends.</p>\n\n<p>We are famously bad in understanding exponential growth and compound interest. Exponential trends can easily lead to extreme positive outcomes that are 100x of what we initially expected.</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Ken Olsen (1977)</strong>: <em>\"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home.\"</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Sir Alan Sugar (2005)</strong>: <em>\"Next Christmas the iPod will be dead, finished, gone, kaput.\"</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><strong>Steve Ballmer (2007)</strong>: <em>\"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share.\"</em></p>\n\t</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>This gross underestimation of exponential disruptions is a huge opportunity for tech enthusiasts like us.</p>\n\n<p><strong>We know that costs of AI training reduces by 70% per year, for example. </strong></p>\n\n<p>So, spending $100 on AI training will get us 10x more in two years.</p>\n\n<p>100x in four years.</p>\n\n<p>1000x in 2030.</p>\n\n<p>The <a href=\"{Link}\">AI Scaling Laws</a> teach us that neural nets keep improving in performance as we throw more compute, data, and parameters on the problem.</p>\n\n<p>In other words, the intelligence explosion is unstoppable. Essentially, we have solved the problem of cheaply scaling human intelligence.</p>\n\n<p><strong>You can count on it. </strong></p>\n\n<p>So you better position yourself to benefit from change now before reality has caught up and change is here.</p>\n\n<p>For example, we don't need to train a single human brain for 30 years, spending $230,000 to put it through medical school. We still can, of course.</p>\n\n<p>But with LLMs, we can now also replicate this brain 8 billion times and put it on 8 billion smartphones giving every human access to first-class medical care, 24/7, basically for free.</p>\n\n<p>When I talk about billions of humanoid bots, self-driving cars, autonomous AI agents, intelligent factories, replacing inefficient management layers from companies, automating policy and monetary systems, I need to do it with you as a fellow tech enthusiast and reader of this Finxter newsletter.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Because most people outside our little tech bubble don't understand the extent of upcoming disruptions.</strong></p>\n\n<p>All of it will happen much faster than 99% of people expect due to the exponential nature of declining cost curves.</p>\n\n<p>Humanity has woken up dead matter and injected life energy and intelligence into it. We are in the midst of a giant and literal explosion (see PS below).</p>\n\n<p>The future is bright in every meaning of the word.</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the bright side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>PS: Check out this conversation of Lex Fridman prompting Tesla's former head of AI, Andrej Karpathy:</p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Andrej</strong>: And so basically, it does seem like synthetic intelligences are kind of like the next stage of development. And I don't know where it leads to. Like At some point, I suspect the universe is some kind of a puzzle. And these synthetic AIs will uncover that puzzle and solve it.</em></p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Lex</strong>: And then what happens after, right? Because if you just fast forward Earth many billions of years, it's like it's quiet and then it's like tormal, you see like city lights and stuff like that. And then what happens at the end? Like is it like a poof? Or is it like a calming, is it explosion?</em></p>\n\n<p><em>Is it like Earth like a giant, because you said emit roasters, will it start emitting like a giant number of satellites?</em></p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Andrej</strong>: Yes, it's some kind of a crazy explosion. And we're stepping through a explosion and we're like living day to day and it doesn't look like it. I saw a very cool animation of Earth and life on Earth and basically nothing happens for a long time and then the last like 2 seconds, like basically cities and everything and the lower orbit just gets cluttered and just the whole thing happens in the last 2 seconds and you're like, this is exploding, this is a state of explosion.</em></p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Lex</strong>: So if you play, yeah, yeah, if you play it at normal speed, it'll just look like an explosion.</em></p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Andrej</strong>: It's a firecracker, we're living in a firecracker.</em></p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Lex</strong>: Where it's going to start emitting all kinds of interesting things. And then, so explosion doesn't, it might actually look like a little explosion with lights and fire and energy emitted, all that kind of stuff, but when you look inside the details of the explosion, there's actual complexity happening where there's like, yeah, human life or some kind of life.</em></p>\n\n<p><em><strong>Andrej</strong>: We hope it's not a destructive firecracker. It's kind of like a constructive firecracker.</em></p>\n\n<p>You can watch the video on the Finxter blog I just published <a href=\"{Link}\">here</a>.</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

More!</li>\n\t<li>Will the demand/supply ratio be higher or lower in Bitcoin? Much higher!</li>\n\t<li>Will there be more or less freelancing and remote work? More!</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>So, as many Finxters clicked on yesterday's article on the salary expectations of prompt engineers, I thought I'd follow up with a special freebie, i.e., what I believe is the most important lesson in our most popular product (the <a href=\"{Link}\">Finxter Freelancer Course</a>).</p>\n\n<p>Watch the lesson for free here:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Free Academy Lesson] The Mathematics of Wealth</a></p>\n\n<p>As a small bonus, I also included the PDF slides for download.</p>\n\n<p>Here's the elevator pitch in case you don't want to watch the video:</p>\n\n<p><em>This strategic plan offers a roadmap to financial freedom for online coding entrepreneurs, emphasizing the need to scale active income (e.g., as a freelance developer) and gradually add scalable income, adhering to the timeless principles of wealth: increase units sold and profit per unit. The lesson further explains how to combine high-income skills, scalable business models, and boring investing principles to maximize net worth over time. The approach focuses on overcoming common barriers like limited control and scalability, guiding towards a lifestyle of comfort, autonomy, and personal fulfillment.</em></p>\n\n<p>These are not my own principles but a shameless mix of principles and mental models from people more intelligent and successful than me. I am grateful to have discovered them relatively early because they helped me channel my tech skills into more profitable endeavors over time and break free from what I perceived as the \"rat race\". \ud83d\udc00</p>\n\n<p>Check out the lesson for more!</p>\n\n<p>And let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

I wanted to break free, and become my own boss coming from a tightly managed employment environment as an academic researcher.</p>\n\n<p>Few people agreed with my view that freelancing would eventually become mainstream, overtaking employment in population size because of its more flexible and adaptable work model.</p>\n\n<p>Yet, I didn't expect the snowballing speed with which the freelancing industry would grow.</p>\n\n<p>In the last seven years, we've seen a growth rate north of 15% per year. Statistics show that there are already 1.5 billion (!) freelancers. And the number of freelancers keeps growing relative to the 3.3 billion employed people.</p>\n\n<p>So, long story short, if you want to stay on the right side of change, the data-driven decision would be to consider adding freelancing to your income stream. Even if freelancing represents only an additional means to make money that you can then reinvest to become an owner of scarce and desirable assets.</p>\n\n<p>Freelancing is here to stay. What's the best way to start freelancing? Here's a quick guide on the Finxter blog that's still relevant:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] The Complete Guide to Freelance Developing</a></p>\n\n<p>Also, freelancing combines beautifully with exponential growth industries like AI and Bitcoin. Here's an article that can help you stay ahead of the curve - most coders haven't yet tried Langchain nor Auto-GPT:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] Auto-GPT vs Langchain \u2013 What\u2019s The Difference?</a></p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>PS: If you're not interested in our daily learning material, feel free to unsubscribe by clicking <a href=\"{Link}\" >this link</a>.

A powerful thought, but I haven't seen anybody think this one step further.</p>\n\n<p>Let's recap - OpenAI opens up the creation of GPT-based agents on top of a closed-source foundational model that exponentially increases its capabilities using external data and third-party APIs.</p>\n\n<p>Sounds like the Apple ecosystem with apps to me. Yes, OpenAI is in an excellent position to become tomorrow's biggest company in the world based on scaling intelligent labor. So far, so good.</p>\n\n<p>But there's a gap that will eventually get filled: a strong contender committed to building an open app store on a more open-source infrastructure.</p>\n\n<p>Think Google building Android.</p>\n\n<p>Who will be the next Google building the Android of GPT stores?</p>\n\n<p>I believe Meta has a unique opportunity in time to build its own GPT store based on its more open foundational model Llama 2.

How? I only really thought about it deeply after getting asked this question.</p>\n\n<p>It could be luck. But it could be something else because, as it turns out, we'll do a few things differently.</p>\n\n<p>To share my perspective, I formalized my intuitive \"let it go\" strategy - and called it <em>MBIT</em>: \ud83d\ude04</p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddda\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f </strong><a href=\"{Link}\"><strong>Merit-Based Iterative Testing (MBIT)</strong> \u2013 A Modern Business Strategy to Building a Meritocracy with Freelancers</a></p>\n\n<p>The idea is simple:</p>\n\n<p>Rather than trying to control everything, micro-manage, and allow subconscious biases to reduce our decision quality, MBIT suggests letting freelancers self-select over time based on merit rather than academic degrees, impressive CVs, or other faulty proxies for job performance.</p>\n\n<p>Check it out if you're interested in scaling your own online business. We all need freelancers to help us out occasionally because we cannot do everything ourselves.</p>\n\n<p>Be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

It's nothing short of revolutionary:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] GPT-4 with Vision (GPT-4V) Is Out! 32 Fun Examples with Screenshots</a></p>\n\n<p>THE bottleneck today is so simple you'll risk rejecting it. But it represents an enormous opportunity for ordinary people to stay on the right side of chance.</p>\n\n<p>Here it is:</p>\n\n<p>Take the existing LLM tech and implement it in a real business.</p>\n\n<p>As we are in year 0, no one has had enough time to harvest the low-hanging fruits. Moreover, new technologies such as GPT-4V are emerging every week, which is expanding the opportunity space at a faster rate than coders are able to fill it. This is great news for us!</p>\n\n<p>Where are these low-hanging fruits? Everywhere. Billions of simple ways to create a multi-million dollar 1-person coding startup by plugging LLM tech into reality. It's not rocket science.</p>\n\n<p><em>(See the <a href=\"{Link}\">blog post</a> for a couple of dozen easy but extremely potent ideas.)</em></p>\n\n<p>Because a single LLM intelligently deployed in a business process can free up millions of dollars worth of human labor in an instant. We just need to go out there and harvest those ripe and delicious fruits!</p>\n\n<p>Again, the value creation opportunity for coders like you and me is insane. A business consultant or startup doing nothing else but applying and integrating the tech that's already there and easily accessible can save a business millions each year!</p>\n\n<p>Why do I keep repeating these obvious things? Because nine out of ten persons still behave like the revolution is not happening right under there noses. It is unfortunate that it needs to be said, but it does:</p>\n\n<p>AI is not another fad. LLMs are real. They are the dumbest now and get smarter by the day. Deploying them creates unseen amounts of genuine value. We are at the cusp of the fastest growth in human flourishment and economic power in history.</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

Mental health will be disrupted by AI eventually but most of it will be additional demand by \"normal people\" needing professional coaching and seeking personal development, IMO.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Environmental Engineer</strong>: Designs ways to install solar energy (booming!), clean oceans, or reduce pollution, such as creating sustainable waste management systems; $60,000 \u2013 $120,000.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Special Education Teacher</strong>: Tailors lessons for children with disabilities, such as using visual aids for a child with hearing impairment; $40,000 \u2013 $80,000.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Healthcare Provider</strong>: Takes care of patients, like a nurse assisting in surgery or a doctor using AI for early cancer detection; $80,000 \u2013 $300,000+.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Social Worker</strong>: Acts like a guiding friend, helping a struggling family find housing or a job; $40,000 \u2013 $80,000.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Research Scientist</strong>: Explores new frontiers, like discovering a new material that makes solar panels more efficient; $70,000 \u2013 $160,000.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Creative Artist</strong>: Paints, sculpts, or writes to express emotions or ideas, like an artist painting a mural that brings a community together; $20,000 \u2013 $100,000+.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Human Resources Manager</strong>: Like a matchmaker for companies and employees, finds the right people for the right jobs and helps them settle in; $65,000 \u2013 $200,000.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>Personally, I'd add coding work that builds on and leverages LLM APIs and LLM-based meta tools such as auto GPTs and simply prompt engineering, as well as Bitcoin development on L2 (e.g., Lightning).

It\u2019s not what I\u2019m interested in using AI for.\"</em></p>\n\n<p>Lately, I've been receiving feedback by some Finxter readers similar to this.</p>\n\n<p>I deserve it, too, because I continue to be highly excited about the upcoming disruptions brought about by two significant forces: AI and Bitcoin.</p>\n\n<p><strong>(1) Artificial intelligence</strong></p>\n\n<p>LLMs like ChatGPT will put legions of knowledge workers out of work. The world is awakening as we continue to put pretrained brains serialized into highly compressed files in the form of LLMs into every imaginable object.</p>\n\n<p>Intelligence is no longer a scarcity.</p>\n\n<p>This is a transformational change as all things become aware and intelligent - all products must be rethought. Opportunities to create value and ripe low-hanging fruits by integrating LLMs into X are endless.</p>\n\n<p>We are already on an exponential curve in AI training cost efficiency, the number of robots deployed, and other metrics measuring rapid change.</p>\n\n<p>Never underestimate the disruptive power of exponential change.</p>\n\n<p><strong>(2) Bitcoin</strong></p>\n\n<p>Bitcoin stands to mitigate the limitations introduced by large banking institutions and corporate finance. It represents freedom money, retaining its value while being transferred across distances and time.</p>\n\n<p>Considering traditional finance systems like VISA levy a fee on every transaction, traditional financial systems can be likened to sucking out our life energy, if I may borrow Saylor's metaphor.</p>\n\n<p>I think if you focus on these two technology disruptions, i.e., AI and Bitcoin, you're well-equipped to stay on the right side of change.</p>\n\n<p>Now, focusing is easier said than done, especially in our world of distractions.</p>\n\n<p>For instance, many Finxters these days send me questions on the following new centralized technology startup.</p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f <a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] Worldcoin \u2013 Who Pays for Universal Basic Income (UBI)?</a></p>\n\n<p>The premise of the project, cofounded by ChatGPT founder Sam Altman, is that humanity will eventually need universal basic income to fairly distribute the efficiency gains of \"putting people out of work\" (see the first sentence of this email).</p>\n\n<p>While I believe the idea of UBI is sound, I'm not a fan of the token or centralized crypto projects like this one (no matter how often they use the term \"decentralization\" to distract our focus.</p>\n\n<p>But <a href=\"{Link}\">read for yourself</a> - where does the money come from?</p>\n\n<p>The future is bright - let's stay on the right side of change! \ud83c\udf1e<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p><meta charset='utf-8'><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">PS: Welcome to our new\u00a0</span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"{Link}\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;; color: #4a6ee0;\" target=\"_blank\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;; color: #4a6ee0;\">Finxter Premium Members</span></a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">!

Your human time might be limited but human time in general is a renewable resource.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Is energy the scarcest resource? </strong></p>\n\n<p>Well, no. Energy is infinite, and it is all around us. The sun is a giant fusion reactor in the sky, and only a tiny portion of its emitted energy arrives on Earth.</p>\n\n<p>Think of the sun's energy as Niagara Falls, but trillions of times larger, pouring out light instead of water. The tiny fraction that reaches Earth is over 10,000 times our total energy use.</p>\n\n<p>If harnessed effectively, it could power our world many times over.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Is USD the scarcest resource?</strong></p>\n\n<p>You are on the right track, but no. They wouldn't print it in the trillions if fiat money were scarce. Look at any chart of the money supply growth (M1, M2, M3) - they are all up to the right exponentially. \ud83d\udcc8</p>\n\n<p>Not how the supply of a scarce resource looks like.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What about gold or diamonds?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Gold is one of the scarcest resources on Earth. Yet it has an annual supply growth of 2% per year. We mine more and more gold without an upper limit.</p>\n\n<p>If the price of gold were to go ballistic (e.g., 10x), gold miners would profitably mine much more gold. With increasing gold supply, the prices would start to go down again.</p>\n\n<p>The world economy is a self-regulating organism.</p>\n\n<p>As for diamonds, despite their reputation for rarity, they are actually more common than gold when you look deep within Earth. You can even synthetically produce diamonds, so if the price rises, you'd mass-produce them, and the price would drop again.</p>\n\n<p>Neither gold nor diamonds are the scarcest resources on Earth.</p>\n\n<p><strong>What about scarce and desirable real estate? </strong></p>\n\n<p>Think of rare, prime real estate as the 'Picassos' of the property world. Like original works of art from a master painter, there's a finite amount of this prime property, especially in desirable areas like beachfronts or city centers.</p>\n\n<p>To illustrate, imagine the Manhattan skyline as a limited-edition collection of sculptures. Once they're all taken, there's no more space for new ones - the only way to get one is if someone decides to sell theirs. This is why Manhattan real estate is among the most expensive globally; there's high demand, but the supply is fundamentally limited.</p>\n\n<p>In this sense, rare real estate can be as scarce as a precious gem.</p>\n\n<p>Yet - there's always more land. Earth is big. There are 695,000 miles of coastline, 29 times the Earth's circumference.</p>\n\n<p>We could build more real estate in the desert, under the sea or floating on it, on Mars, or just into the sky.</p>\n\n<p>If you think about it, we'll even build more real estate in digital worlds as more and more of our lives move into cyberspace. That's one of the reasons Apple and Meta, two of the most profitable companies, focus on building virtual reality devices.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Is it intelligence?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Not with the recent intelligence explosion we've been witnessing. During the last few months, I've written extensively about LLM technology, AI, and ChatGPT.</p>\n\n<p>Our collective intelligence will go 1,000x over the next couple of decades.</p>\n\n<p><strong>So what is the most scarce resource on Earth?</strong></p>\n\n<p>The answer is ... Bitcoin!</p>\n\n<p>Plain and simple.</p>\n\n<p>Bitcoin is a monetary good with a fixed supply schedule. There will always only be 21,000,000 BTC units. Each is infinitely divisible but there cannot be more BTC without changing the protocol.</p>\n\n<p>Unlike gold, diamonds, real estate, human time, intelligence, and any other good on Earth, you cannot produce more of it when the price increases.</p>\n\n<p>When more miners try to generate more BTC, the difficulty adjustment will make it harder to produce it. This protects the cap of 21 million monetary units from being hacked by higher energy expenditure and increasing human ingenuity.</p>\n\n<p>It is desirable. You can use it as the official payment instrument in a handful of countries already (like El Salvador).</p>\n\n<p>There are an estimated 56 million millionaires in the world as of 2023. This number is expected to grow to 87.5 million by 2026. Fiat inflation will continue to produce more and more millionaires forever.</p>\n\n<p>So not every USD millionaire can have a single Bitcoin, even though every USD millionaire will want one to diversify and protect their net worth.</p>\n\n<p>The only reason this scarce monetary protocol works is decentralization (otherwise, it would become a fiat currency controlled by a single party). That's also why the 20k+ other cryptos are inferior: they are less decentralized.</p>\n\n<p>Soon an infinite number of intelligent agents based on LLMs and other AI technologies will start to acquire the scarcest good on Earth, which makes it even more scarce for ordinary people like you and me.</p>\n\n<p>US presidential candidates now propose to buy BTC to stabilize the US balance sheets.</p>\n\n<p>The biggest asset managers in the world -- Blackrock, Fidelity, BNY Mellon, Vanguard -- have already started to accumulate BTC and will keep doing so.</p>\n\n<p>The US will soon see a Bitcoin ETF, and a tsunami of new retail capital will compete for the scarcest resource on Earth.</p>\n\n<p>Nothing is inevitable, but objectively, Bitcoin is and is likely to remain the scarcest resource on Earth.</p>\n\n<p>To your success! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

From what we know, the training data seems to include massive amounts of pirated books and copyrighted content such as the Harry Potter series - only that the LLM obfuscates the copyright issues.</p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s a gargantuan effort that converges in a matrix of numbers \u2014 the model\u2019s parameters \u2014 that represent the learned patterns of human language.</p>\n\n<p>By using an unprecedented amount of computing on an unprecedented amount of data on a simple neural network architecture (transformers), intelligence seems to be an emergent phenomenon.</p>\n\n<p>I\u2019d go as far as to say that the age-old process of reproducing human intelligence has been transcended. Intelligence is solved. LLMs will only become smarter from now on. Like the Internet, LLMs will stay and proliferate and penetrate every single sector of our economy.</p>\n\n<p>LLMs are densely compressed human wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence. Now imagine having these files and being able to copy them millions of times, running them all at once.</p>\n\n<p>So picture this: Millions of intelligent student workers that are eager to work day and night on anything you want. How would you use them?</p>\n\n<p>In this email, I want to challenge you to think of novel use cases for millions of intelligent workers working virtually for free.

If these bots used VISA, only 35 transactions would halve their money!</p>\n\n<p>That's why we can see projects like LangChainBitcoin that empower LLM-based agents like Auto-GPT to participate in the economy via the Internet-native monetary system: Bitcoin.</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] What is the Best Programming Language for Bitcoin?</a></p>\n\n<p>The tl;dr is that Python is the best programming language to develop apps and bots on top of Bitcoin.

No rebalancing - let the winners ride!</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>In today's Finxter article, I backtested this exact strategy:</p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcc8 [<strong>Blog</strong>] <a href=\"{Link}\">Buy and Hold Through Change! $600 Monthly to $500K in 10 Years with Tech Stocks</a></p>\n\n<p>The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of this strategy was north of 20%.</p>\n\n<p>If you implemented this same strategy today, you'd buy these companies:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>Apple</li>\n\t<li>Microsoft</li>\n\t<li>Alphabet</li>\n\t<li>Amazon</li>\n\t<li>NVIDIA</li>\n\t<li>Meta</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>All of them will benefit greatly from the proliferation of AI in the next decade. Personally, I'd add the seventh largest tech company, Tesla, due to its disruptive opportunity of the Tesla bot.</p>\n\n<p>I bet this simple strategy will smoke the S&P 500.</p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\uded1 No investment advice! \ud83d\uded1 </strong></p>\n\n<p>Be on the right side of change. \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

No hard feelings.</p>\n\n<p>Now let me make my case:</p>\n\n<p>Our time on earth is limited. Many of us don't enjoy meaningless work that could be automated. It's frustrating!</p>\n\n<p>And why bother? We all know that meaningful work exists that doesn't get done.</p>\n\n<p>So, my general attitude towards automation is as follows:</p>\n\n<p><strong><em>Every valuable task that can be automated, should be automated.</em></strong></p>\n\n<p>Politics aside, here are two observations:</p>\n\n<p>(1) Many <strong><em>people don't want to</em></strong> do the work, and<br />\n(2) More and more <strong><em>machines can do</em></strong> the work cheaply, efficiently, and without complaining.</p>\n\n<p>For example, ChatGPT does an excellent job finding examples of how tech advancements impacted certain job roles:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Scribes and Illuminators (Post-Printing Press):</strong> Before the printing press, books were written by hand, often by monks in monasteries. The printing press made mass production of books possible, drastically reducing the need for manual scribes and illuminators who decorated manuscripts.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Weavers and Textile Artisans (Industrial Revolution):</strong> The invention of mechanized looms and other textile machinery during the Industrial Revolution significantly reduced the demand for handweaving, impacting artisans who had traditionally woven textiles by hand.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Blacksmiths (Advent of Automobiles):</strong> The widespread adoption of cars led to a decline in horse-drawn carriages, which adversely affected blacksmiths who were essential in making and repairing horse-drawn carriage components and horseshoes.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Lamplighters (Electric Lighting):</strong> Before electric streetlights, lamplighters were employed to light gas or oil street lamps every evening. The advent of electric lighting rendered this occupation obsolete.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Telegraph Operators (Telephone and Internet):</strong> With the advent of the telephone and later the internet, the need for telegraph operators, who transmitted messages using Morse code, diminished significantly.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Typesetters (Digital Printing and Publishing):</strong> The rise of digital printing technologies and desktop publishing software reduced the need for manual typesetters, who arranged letters for printing presses.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Film Photographers and Darkroom Technicians (Digital Photography):</strong> The digital photography revolution led to a decline in demand for traditional film-based photographers and darkroom technicians who developed film.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Travel Agents (Online Booking Platforms):</strong> The rise of online travel booking platforms has significantly reduced the need for traditional travel agents, as people can now plan and book trips themselves online.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Bank Tellers (Online Banking and ATMs):</strong> The introduction of ATMs and online banking services has decreased the need for as many bank tellers, as customers can perform many banking tasks themselves without visiting a branch.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n\t<li>\n\t<p><em><strong>Video Store Clerks (Streaming Services):</strong> The rise of online streaming services like Netflix and Hulu has dramatically reduced the demand for video rental stores, impacting the jobs of video store clerks.</em></p>\n\t</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>I didn't hire a secretary to make this but paid $20/m to an AI company. Making this list would've taken me an hour or two - now it's just a few seconds.</p>\n\n<p>If you're on the right side of change, you'll get attacked for using electric vehicles that drive themselves (no Uber driver!), streaming videos (no video stores!), or purchasing online (no department stores!).</p>\n\n<p><strong><em>\"I can't support such unethical behavior.\"</em></strong></p>\n\n<p>In the end, of course, it doesn't matter.</p>\n\n<p><em>\"No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come.\"</em> - <strong>Victor Hugo</strong></p>\n\n<p>So why bother? There is no moral high ground for not using technology.</p>\n\n<p>In fact, if we don't adopt new technologies, we'll die!</p>\n\n<p>Adapt or die.</p>\n\n<p>Be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

It adds little value to the world.</p>\n\n<p>Because everybody is doing it, most won't make money this way.</p>\n\n<p>So let's move on:</p>\n\n<p><strong>Route #2 - Create Quality Content</strong></p>\n\n<p>A much better route.</p>\n\n<p>You can use AI to do research and help you obtain, analyze, and visualize data.</p>\n\n<p>Code interpreter and <a href=\"{Link}\">GPTs</a> can help you enrich your content. Use ChatGPT to fix grammar mistakes and improve clarity.</p>\n\n<p>The Internet is a winner-takes-most market. In other words, increasing your content quality just a tiny bit can double your reach.</p>\n\n<p>Want to double your reach again? Increase the quality of your content even more!</p>\n\n<p>Mister Beast teaches us that it never ends.</p>\n\n<p>Due to the winner-takes-most dynamics, investing human time in content quality pays off in the long term.</p>\n\n<p>The opposite is also true: you should definitely use AI to enrich your content with unique insights or tools.</p>\n\n<p>For instance, a human chess player guiding a chess AI will beat both, an expert chess player without AI, and a chess AI without guiding humans.</p>\n\n<p>For that reason, AI-enriched human content is a sustainable route to leverage AI to make money and have a real positive impact.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Route #3 - Sell Your Consulting Services</strong></p>\n\n<p>Still - both routes #1 and #2 are very crowded and it takes years of daily effort just to get the foot in the door.</p>\n\n<p>You need to love the game, or you won't make it through the years of unpaid work. The content creation market is brutal and if you see small success, you'll get copied very quickly.</p>\n\n<p>Moreover, content creation doesn't pay off quickly - successful content creators give it their all for many years before reaching good income levels.</p>\n\n<p>It's not easy. You must become an expert.</p>\n\n<p>An easier route in my opinion -- higher <em>expected value</em> and a priori <em>success probability</em> -- is to help businesses integrate <a href=\"{Link}\">alien technology</a> into their existing business systems.</p>\n\n<p>The LLM paradigm shift has not yet trickled into the "normal" world. Millions of businesses still need to integrate generative AI in their workflows.</p>\n\n<p>We are in year #1 of publicly available LLM <a href=\"{Link}\">APIs</a>.</p>\n\n<p>Even without considering likely improvements of the foundational models, it'll take years to connect and integrate LLMs with real world business systems.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Who Pays for AI Consultants?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Architects, financial advisors, grocery stores, software companies, restaurants, clothing stores, laundromats, bookstores, fitness centers, daycare centers -- all of them can and eventually will improve efficiency, i.e., maximize benefit/cost ratio, by integrating LLMs into their workflows.</p>\n\n<p>As an exercise to train your business savvy, feel free to take a minute to come up with little ways to use generative AI and LLMs to improve each of these businesses!</p>\n\n<p>Think small.</p>\n\n<p>Some minor examples:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>If you run a hair salon, can you delight your customers by using the <a href=\"{Link}\">Midjourney</a> <strong><em>/merge</em></strong> command to experiment with personalized hair pictures of your customers?</li>\n\t<li>If you run a small factory, can you use <a href=\"{Link}\">OpenAI's text-to-speech (TTS) library</a> to welcome customers at the front door?</li>\n\t<li>If you are a financial advisor, can you delight your clients by using LLMs to <a href=\"{Link}\">enrich portfolio analysis</a> or visualize your clients' portfolios?</li>\n\t<li>As a solar company, can you fully automate offer creation by means of a <a href=\"{Link}\">fine-tuned</a> LLM?</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">AI consultants on Upwork</a> make $100 per hour and more. Why? Because of the huge leverage they offer to normal businesses that just don't know how to do these things.</p>\n\n<p>If you are such a business owner, hiring an AI consultancy for three hours could increase your customer satisfaction and revenue by 10%, 20%, or even 100%!</p>\n\n<p><em>Who wouldn't spend a few hundred bucks on that bet?</em></p>\n\n<p>Moreover, to reduce perceived risk and boost revenue, creative AI consultants can propose revenue-share models where local businesses don't need to pay upfront - but only an agreed-upon percentage of increased revenue after success.</p>\n\n<p>In that case, the average hourly rate could be much higher, as the AI consultants would get a stake in the businesses.</p>\n\n<p>Consider what I wrote a couple of emails ago:</p>\n\n<p><em>"I'd rather hire one skilled prompt engineer than ten graphic designers"</em></p>\n\n<p>The same would apply to 50/50 partnerships.</p>\n\n<p>This opportunity is massive for anybody who wants to be on the right side of change. Collectively, there's orders of magnitude more revenue in serving businesses than in content creation.</p>\n\n<p>Scalability and passivity can be obtained through creative partnerships.</p>\n\n<p>For example, boosting revenue by 20% of a business making $50k/m can increase business value by $100k to $500k. Many small businesses in your local environment have these revenue levels.</p>\n\n<p>And who knows, there may be a possibility to scale up the consultancy to a more <a href=\"{Link}\">scalable Saas business</a> to take it to the next level?</p>\n\n<p>Be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p> </p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

The principle of \"Garbage in, Garbage out\" applies here.</p>\n\n<p>If you regularly consume superficial news with a negativity bias, it's easy to predict how your brain might respond to new information: with rejection, doubt, and criticism, often stemming from impulsive thinking.</p>\n\n<p><meta charset='utf-8'><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">I receive statements like these:\u00a0</span><em style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\" style=\"color: rgb(14, 16, 26); background: transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt;;\">\"... I read that AI already becomes dumber, and it only averages all available information without producing anything new or creative ...\"</span></em></p>\n\n<p>If you point people to research indicating that ChatGPT ranks higher on creativity tests, they argue that the tests must be faulty. Yeah, sure they are faulty. Still, it's better to go with Occam's Razor, embrace the simple explanation, and remain open-minded in the face of change.</p>\n\n<p>It may sound amusing, but many people dismiss the idea that <a href=\"{Link}\">Large Language Models (LLMs)</a> are a disruptive force, set to multiply their impact tenfold every two years, thanks to the exponential decline of AI training costs.</p>\n\n<p>The contrary to \"Garbage-In Garbage-Out\" also holds: if you train a model (or your brain for that matter) on high-quality data, you're much more likely to produce high-quality outputs.</p>\n\n<p><em>Quality-In Quality-Out</em></p>\n\n<p>So how can you cleanse your training data and, thereby, boost the performance of the AI model that is your brain?</p>\n\n<p>Here are some strategies I employ:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>Go for long walks.</strong> After a walk in nature, I always find clarity about my next step. Taking one step at a time, with a distant long-term goal in mind, simplifies life. Clarity becomes increasingly vital as the influx of low-quality information leads to confusion, brain fog, and fatigue.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Think slowly and take time.</strong> Many people form shallow and hasty conclusions, presenting them with undue confidence. I've learned that such quick opinions, though easy to offer, often hold little value.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Listen to podcasts with field experts</strong> but only on topics within their expertise; I avoid those who speak outside their domain. Don't necessarily listen on Bitcoiner's advice on food or the money tips from broke people (you may be able to leverage the powerful technique of inversion though: <em>do the opposite</em>).</li>\n\t<li><strong>Occasionally browse Twitter</strong>/X \u2013 but not too often, as it can be a time sink. Among the noise, you might find a valuable insight, but I'm cautious with social media. Better yet - avoid all social media including X.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Read select tech and coding newsletters</strong>. I strive to offer such a newsletter with a high signal-to-noise ratio \u2013 you be the judge.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Skim ArXiv</strong> and new research papers: these are often a rich source of knowledge and remain some of the highest-quality information available.</li>\n\t<li><strong>HackerNews</strong> is also an excellent source for straightforward news with a high signal-to-noise ratio.</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>This brings us to today's Finxter tutorial if you're interested in building your own HackerNews-like site:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] How I Coded a Hacker News Clone in Django</a></p>\n\n<p>Enjoy reading!

'Grok' means all of these. It means 'fear', it means 'love', it means 'hate' \u2013 proper hate, for by the Martian 'map' you cannot hate anything unless you grok it, understand it so thoroughly that you merge with it and it merges with you \u2013 then you can hate it. By hating yourself. But this implies that you love it, too, and cherish it and would not have it otherwise. Then you can hate \u2013 and (I think) Martian hate is an emotion so black that the nearest human equivalent could only be called mild distaste.</em></p>\n\n<p>Whatever the term means exactly, it won't be the last time you hear it; so much we can be sure of!</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

That's in the nature of compounding and exponentials.</p>\n\n<p>As a result, we often don't take them as seriously as we should in the daily whirlwind.</p>\n\n<p>Today's email should be nothing else than a short reminder to set up a habit tracker (e.g., Google Sheet with a simple YES/NO checker) and a habit that you know can change your life if done over a long period of time.</p>\n\n<p>For example, let me suggest one habit I'm highly confident can make you rich in the next 10 years - that will help you stay on the right side of change:</p>\n\n<p>One example habit would be <em><strong>spending one hour daily creating GPTs for the GPT Store</strong></em>.</p>\n\n<p>In five years, the GPT Store will be much bigger than it is now - it's a high-growth industry.</p>\n\n<p>Mobile app developers who have created simple apps on a daily basis since the launch of the Android App Store or Apple App Store have achieved significant success.</p>\n\n<p>Say you do this for one, two, or three years: spending one hour every day to launch a GPT into the store daily.</p>\n\n<p>Launching 1000 GPTs during the next 1000 days, roughly three years, will almost guarantee explosive success. The top 10 out of 1000 GPTs are likely to create value for millions of people.</p>\n\n<p>Your top GPT among 1000 may reach tens of millions of people.</p>\n\n<p>But the remaining 990 are still valuable because they make the few winners possible. We need the 990 to get the 10.</p>\n\n<p>Habits compound.</p>\n\n<p>And even if the GPT Store is not as successful, which I don't believe, you will still learn a lot of new things and stay on top of developments in a rapidly growing field.</p>\n\n<p>A simple example of a powerful daily keystone habit. Of course, it's only one idea of many that will work.</p>\n\n<p>Now, the action step: what's your daily habit to compound your knowledge, experience, and success in an explosive way over a long period of time?</p>\n\n<p>Be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

The weather is simulated by solving complex mathematical equations between all grid cells every few seconds.

It's outside. I'll leave it with you. That'll more than cover the $10,000.\"</em></p>\n\n<p><strong>Banker</strong>: <em>\"Yeah, that's more than enough security.\"</em></p>\n\n<p>After her vacation, the woman returns to the bank. She meets with the same loan officer and repays the $10,000 plus the $49 in interest.</p>\n\n<p>As she's about to leave, the banker asks, <em>\"You're a wealthy woman. Why borrow money for a trip?\"</em></p>\n\n<p>The woman smiles, then replies, <em>\"Where else in San Francisco can I safely park a $350,000 Rolls for two weeks for only $69?\"</em></p>\n\n<p>~~~</p>\n\n<p>It wouldn't surprise me if the woman's skill of thinking outside the box, in a first-principle, interdisciplinary way, was how she became wealthy in the first place.</p>\n\n<p>The woman is an intelligent <em>user </em>of the system that leverages the system in creative ways to maximize value.</p>\n\n<p>With the rise of LLMs, this skill of <em>thinking outside the box</em> has become invaluable.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Infrastructure vs Application: Who got richer, the founders of AT&T or Google? </strong></p>\n\n<p>Similarly, the generative AI revolution will create far more value for intelligent (=street smart) <em>users </em>of the models that create higher-level services as compared to the <em>providers </em>of the model infrastructure.</p>\n\n<p>For example, my bet is on Tesla with its <em>AI apps</em> like self-driving and humanoid bots, rather than NVidia as the <em>provider of AI infrastructure</em> such as chips and AI-training-as-a-service.</p>\n\n<p>Infrastructure tends to become commoditized over time.</p>\n\n<p>Startup.ai companies like Character.ai using LLM tools like Langchain will create far more relative value compared to infrastructure companies such as OpenAI.</p>\n\n<p>Both AI application and AI infrastructure businesses may grow substantially. But the outsized gains will be made by the AI application businesses where owners think in interdisciplinary ways to create apps that actually bridge the new technologies into the real world.</p>\n\n<p>Discovering LLMs (Simon Willison calls it \"<a href=\"{Link}\">Alien technology</a>\") is like the discovery of electricity.</p>\n\n<p>Now, more than 100 years after Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and others popularized the use of electricity, we're still developing applications on top of it - such as the Internet, Bitcoin, or even LLMs.</p>\n\n<p>And we're already developing new applications on top of Bitcoin and LLMs. Progress often happens layer after layer after layer. One of the new base layers of humanity is infinitely scalable intelligence.</p>\n\n<p>For instance, we can now access powerful proprietary LLMs via API (e.g., <a href=\"{Link}\">GPT-4-32k</a>) or offline, free, and open-source LLMs like <a href=\"{Link}\">Llama 2</a> or others:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><a href=\"{Link}\">MPT-7B: A Free Open-Source Large Language Model (LLM)</a></li>\n\t<li><a href=\"{Link}\">The Open-Source Ecosystem Outruns Tech Giants: A Shift in AI Landscape</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>The question now becomes how to integrate those models into real-world applications.</p>\n\n<p>Let me be blunt: <strong>Don't waste your time trying to figure out the math and theory of AI if you're not already an AI researcher and enthusiast.

I admitted that the information was very thin.</p>\n\n<p>But in a fresh exclusive with <em>The Verge</em>, Sam Altman dropped the following bombshell:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><em><strong>Interviewer</strong>: The reports about the Q* model breakthrough that you all recently made, what\u2019s going on there?</em></li>\n\t<li><em><strong>Sam Altman</strong>: <span style=\"background-color:#ffff00;\">No particular comment on that unfortunate leak.</span> But what we have been saying \u2014 two weeks ago, what we are saying today, what we\u2019ve been saying a year ago, what we were saying earlier on \u2014 is that we expect progress in this technology to continue to be rapid and also that we expect to continue to work very hard to figure out how to make it safe and beneficial.</em></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>In my logic: <em><strong>If Sam calls it a leak, it must be real.</strong></em> (?)</p>\n\n<p>Diving deeper into the topic, I found the following interesting nugget:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"The [...] breakthrough allowed OpenAI to overcome limitations on obtaining enough high-quality data to train new models [...] The research involved using computer-generated [data], rather than real-world data like text or images pulled from the internet, to train new models. That appears to be a reference to the idea of <span style=\"background-color:#ffff00;\">training algorithms with so-called synthetic training data</span>, which has emerged as a way to train more powerful AI models.\" </em>-- <strong>Wired</strong></p>\n\n<p>Like Tesla's new end-to-end full-self-driving (FSD) system, synthetic data is now being used by OpenAI to train neural nets!</p>\n\n<p>I share this with you because I believe the following take is not well-understood by the general public:</p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li>The <a href=\"{Link}\">AI Scaling Laws</a> suggest we have <strong>not reached saturation</strong> in performance - all we need to do is throw more compute and more data on the problem.</li>\n\t<li>Many argue that data is the limiting factor - e.g., in humanoid robotics, we don't have a lot of real-world data.</li>\n\t<li>However, <strong>if we can effectively train models on synthetic data, we've mitigated this bottleneck!</strong></li>\n</ul>\n\n<p>We're already seeing a double-digit percentage productivity improvement for our economy due to LLMs. This trend is sustainable for at least a couple of years. Maybe decades!</p>\n\n<p>Have a look at this research result in a recent first-class paper <em>\"GPTs are GPTs: An Early Look at the Labor Market Impact Potential of Large Language Models\"</em>:</p>\n\n<p>\ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\udcbb<em> \"Our findings reveal that around <span style=\"background-color:#ffff00;\">80% of the U.S. workforce could have at least 10% of their work tasks</span> affected by the introduction of LLMs, while approximately <span style=\"background-color:#ffff00;\">19% of workers may see at least 50% of their tasks</span> impacted. [...]\" </em></p>\n\n<p>Another big takeaway is this: <strong>when synthetic data is an effective option, the bottleneck for AI will be <em>compute</em>.</strong> Singularity will take our hunger for compute to the moon.</p>\n\n<p>10x, 100x, 1000x of demand for AI compute in a few years wouldn't surprise me in the least.</p>\n\n<p>Bullish for AI compute providers like NVDA, AMZN, and TSLA!</p>\n\n<p>Be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>PS: The winner of the Finxter GPT Creator contest is Julian's <strong><em>Eco Chef GPT</em></strong>.</p>\n\n<p>In Julian's words:</p>\n\n<p><em>\"Eco Chef is a GPT to analyze the environmental impact of food recipes, with a focus on providing CO2 equivalent (CO2E) values for every ingredient in the recipe.

The 16personalities website (<em>not affiliated</em>) is one of the most viral websites out there.</p>\n\n<p><strong>tl;dr:</strong> You answer a couple of questions and the test assigns one of 16 different personalities to you based on the following four dimensions:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li><strong>Extraversion (E) vs. Introversion (I):</strong> Where do you direct your energy? Outwardly towards people and activities or inwardly towards thoughts and ideas.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Sensing (S) vs. Intuition (N):</strong> How do you prefer to take in information? Through direct and concrete facts or by interpreting and adding meaning.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Thinking (T) vs. Feeling (F):</strong> How do you prefer to make decisions? Based on logic and consistency or based on the people and special circumstances.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Judging (J) vs. Perceiving (P):</strong> What's your preference when dealing with the outside world? With a planned and organized approach or a more flexible and spontaneous approach.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>I found the test to be very robust. For example, no matter how often I repeat the test - I've done it at least a dozen times over the years - it always gives me INFJ (Advocate).</p>\n\n<p>They may be right: I feel awful writing about this; the test lists as one of my weaknesses to being \"reluctant to open up\".</p>\n\n<p>Anyways, just for fun I've written a small online tool where you can put in your personality type and it provides you with a possible career path in tech (tech enthusiasts only!).</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Online Tool] What\u2019s Your Career Path Based on Myers-Briggs\u2019 16 Personalities?</a></p>\n\n<p>The \"recommendation\" is crude so don't take it too seriously.

My advice will be blunt, my stories grandiose, all aimed at inspiring relentless ambition and fearless action.

Sometimes, speed is king.</p>\n\n<p>Self-driving will launch very soon, and I'm a proponent of the unpopular view that the launch will result in a massive asset value increase for each Tesla owner who has bought full self-driving (FSD).</p>\n\n<p>A self-driving Tesla car can operate as a robotaxi that may generate $20k per year (or more) in profits for its owners.</p>\n\n<p>If you're thinking about buying a Tesla, or want to take a free test drive, you can use my referral link to get $500 off:</p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 <a href=\"{Link}\">https://ts.la/christian876004</a></p>\n\n<p>Again, I don't get money to promote this - Tesla didn't pay me, nor do I get monetary compensation for each sale (I just get some free hoodies etc. on the Tesla shop).</p>\n\n<p>There's another nugget of wisdom in the article: <strong>AI codes itself through training and setting neural net weights. </strong></p>\n\n<p>The new V12 of Tesla has only 3k lines of code compared to the previous version of 300k lines of code. That's a drastic reduction of complexity with a drastic improvement of performance.</p>\n\n<p>The future is already here.</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

They convert concepts into number sequences, which enables computers to comprehend the relationships between these concepts more easily.</p>\n\n<p>OpenAI\u2019s embedding models, such as text-embedding-ada-002, have been designed to outperform other top models in various standard benchmarks, including a 20% relative improvement in code search performance.</p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udca1 Principle</strong></p>\n\n<p>You should know that isn't proprietary to OpenAI, but rather a broadly recognized principle within the machine learning field.</p>\n\n<p>In a nutshell, when someone talks about <em>\"computing the embedding of a text\"</em>, they're essentially converting that text into a unique numerical form. However, this isn't just any number - it's a special kind of number that allows arithmetic operations to be conducted with words or phrases, a task at which computers excel.</p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83e\uddd2 Child + \u23f2\ufe0f Time = ?</strong></p>\n\n<p>As an example, using embeddings, you could mathematically express something like \"child\" + \"time\" equating to \"adult\" or \"queen\" minus \"female\" resulting in \"king\".</p>\n\n<p>I saw this example in a Reddit threat - lovely isn't it?</p>\n\n<p>Another handy feature of these numbers is that you can use them to group alike words together. For instance, \"dog\" and \"puppy\" would have numbers that are relatively close to each other, but significantly distant from \"submarine\".</p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udd0d Embeddings - Used for Search</strong></p>\n\n<p>For users of Language Learning Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, embeddings are typically leveraged for search operations. Bear in mind that LLMs have finite space for the input and output, often referred to as the context window, meaning you can't process an entire book, for example.</p>\n\n<p>If you wanted to extract information about the book, you'd divide it into smaller sections that can fit within the context window, and then you'd follow these steps:</p>\n\n<p>1. Compute the embedding for each section.<br />\n2. Once you've calculated the \"number\" (embedding) for each section, take the user prompt and compute its embedding.<br />\n3. Next, compare the user embedding to the book section embeddings and identify the closest one. Since these are numerical values, you can use a mathematical function to determine their proximity (cosine distance is recommended by OpenAI).<br />\n4. Now, you can pass the question to GPT, accompanied by the relevant section that you've just identified.</p>\n\n<p>This procedure is extremely useful and versatile, and can be implemented for various data sources, including emails in your inbox, documents on your drive, or even Amazon reviews.</p>\n\n<p>I hope this explanation clarifies the concept for you!</p>\n\n<p><strong>\ud83d\ude80 What's Next?</strong></p>\n\n<p>Stay tuned for our upcoming emails on LLMs and exciting new tech developments. \ud83e\uddd1\u200d\ud83d\udcbb\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udcbb</p>\n\n<p>And if you haven't already, check out our newly-launched course on advanced prompt engineering (e.g., using embeddings) on the Finxter Academy:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Academy] Prompt Engineering with Python and OpenAI</a></p>\n\n<p>To your success! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

ChatGPT will not only be faster and produce better quality results but also feel much more natural.</p>\n\n<p>I know many Googlers are reading this newsletter and hope that research papers like these can escalate the urgency of pushing their UX to the next level - I would prefer not to see Google falling for the innovator's dilemma.</p>\n\n<p>If you're still interested in some fascinating new research papers, check out the following fresh paper showing how Microsoft Research has applied ChatGPT to robotics:</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[Research] ChatGPT Breaks New Ground in Robotics!

What fascinated us was that it was now possible in a practical, real-world system to find a majority consensus that tolerates a minority of nodes failing or even trying to hack the system.</p>\n\n<p>One of us mentioned that Bitcoin could be a good investment, but most rejected the idea. Bitcoin - too obvious, old-school tech, and overhyped. A massive bull run followed, increasing BTC's price by more than 30x.</p>\n\n<p>Opportunity often hides in plain sight. Today, most people, even techies, reject Bitcoin. I believe they will miss a similar bull run in the years to come.</p>\n\n<p>Today, we are deep in the bear market. The opening rates of all my Bitcoin emails are low. Of course, this will change in the upcoming bull market. But today, the early majority (~34%), late majority (~34%), and laggards (16%) don't care about Bitcoin.</p>\n\n<p>Yet - bullish news is building up:</p>\n\n<p>Upcoming demand shock from the Bitcoin ETF, regulatory clarity, intangible accounting rule change, increasing liquidity in global financial markets, a record low of BTC supply on exchanges, federal chaumian mints, nation state mining announcements, Lightning payments for LLM agents, and now this. \ud83d\udc47</p>\n\n<p><a href=\"{Link}\">[News Article] BitVM \u2013 Smart Contracts on Bitcoin Without Hard Fork</a></p>\n\n<p>Under the radar of those who haven't followed the space closely during the last few years, massive multi-party network effects from developers, miners, politicians, citizens, and HODLers have been accumulated.</p>\n\n<p>This new BitVM paper has opened up another universe for adopting \"money over IP\". If you know Internet culture, you've read about protocol wars in the 1970s. The open-source, more decentralized protocol TCP/IP has won against closed-source protocols pushed by more centralized entities like Cisco.</p>\n\n<p>The Internet economy, a rapidly growing portion of global trade, will be built on an Internet-native \"money over IP\" protocol. The transition is inevitable. What technology will win?</p>\n\n<p>Well, the answer is the same as in 2016: the largest, open-source, decentralized \"money over IP\" protocol with the biggest network effects. We shouldn't reject it only because it seems obvious.</p>\n\n<p>Check out the new Finxter article to learn more about the most recent breakthrough!</p>\n\n<p>Let's be on the right side of change! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.

The researchers are top-notch. So allow me to recap the 4-step prompting strategy here quickly:</p>\n\n<ol>\n\t<li><strong>Drafting an Initial Response:</strong> The language model drafts an initial response based on the input query.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Planning Verification Questions:</strong> The language model then devises verification questions to fact-check its draft.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Answering Verification Questions:</strong> These questions are answered independently to avoid bias.</li>\n\t<li><strong>Generating a Final Verified Response:</strong> Utilizing the answers, the model refines its initial draft and generates a final, more accurate response.</li>\n</ol>\n\n<p>As prompt engineers, we should build a mental library of these prompting strategies.

(No worries if you don't know them - I didn't.)</p>\n\n<p>Like ChatGPT, it can pass many human-centric tests such as grade school math problem solving, Q&A on very long stories, answering science questions, or reading comprehension. And it beats most humans.</p>\n\n<p>And like ChatGPT, Claude 2 can even pass the bar (lawyer) and the USMLE test (medicine).</p>\n\n<p>But unlike ChatGPT and most other open-source models, it can process 200k token context data!! \ud83e\udd2f</p>\n\n<p>You can get a quick overview on the Finxter blog:</p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 <a href=\"{Link}\">[Blog] Claude 2 LLM Reads Ten Papers in One Prompt with Massive 200k Token Context</a></p>\n\n<p>Currently, US citizens can already try it out. You can upload your PDFs and do all the fun stuff the rest of the world (*cough* Germany) cannot access yet (*cough* without VPN).</p>\n\n<p>Now you may wonder - is a 200k token (~150k words) context window large?</p>\n\n<p>An average novel is around 80,000 to 100,000 words.</p>\n\n<p>So, 150,000 words would be equivalent to a long novel or perhaps a trilogy of shorter novels. For example, \u201cHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix\u201d by J.K. Rowling is over 257,000 words.</p>\n\n<p>My doctoral thesis was only 57k so you could load multiple Ph.D. theses into a single prompt.</p>\n\n<p>This is insane. And I don't understand why so many people try to tamper my excitement - don't they get exponentials?</p>\n\n<p>In fact, most humans would struggle if I handed them two Ph.D. theses and asked them to write a detailed comparison. But all of this could be done in a single 200k context window!</p>\n\n<p>Check out the blog, charts, and Claude 2 model and stay tuned for tomorrow's email where I'll show you another great tech achievement.</p>\n\n<p>To your success! \ud83d\ude80<br />\nChris</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<p>\u00a0</p>\n\n<div style=\"background:#eeeeee;border:1px solid #fcfcfc;padding:20px 20px;\">\n<p><span><strong><a href=\"{Link}\">How are we doing?</a></strong><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<a href=\"{Link}\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50</a><br />\n<br />\nTo make sure you keep getting these emails, please add <em>chris@finxter.com</em> to your address book.<br />\n<br />\nI'd love to hear your feedback so that I can improve this free email course over time.
