The times in my life when I have felt a “disturbance in the force” technically speaking include:

  • Being introduced to Visicalc on the first Apple Mackintosh
  • The first time I saw the new Netscape browser.
  • The launch of the first iPhone
  • And now Open AI Chat GPT-4

@wfm I watched the GPT-4 livestream they published. So fascinating. It’s really sparked a renewed interest in the field. Nothing like boring tech these days. I love it.

Can’t wait to see more services adopt something similar. I’m even thinking of trying it for “alt” description of images in apps.

@wfm Very much same. I haven't been able to get that topic off of my mind for weeks.

@vincent it is fascinating. Am wondering what it will unleash over the next five years, good and bad.
