Thoughts on AI, Emerging Technologies, and the ICT market. Failed entrepreneur, sharing time with IDC, NVIDIA, Infosys, and now at Lenovo. Views are my own.

@Revolut Worst experience ever. Avoid this bank.

I used @ChatGPTapp quite often (even the paid version), and it is great. At some point though, I decided to give @Gemini a try, and somehow I find myself using it more than ChatGPT almost without realizing it. It is so easygoing and gives me the kind of answers I am looking for.

@AFP_Integra Antes de dar charlas por favor arreglen un sistema tan básico como es la web. Especialmente en este tiempo tan importante. Increible que ofrescan un servicio tan pobre. Y para variar el chatbot no funciona. Impresentable su servicio.

AI will amplify the good and the bad.

@KLM very bad service

[David Ayvar @DavidAyvar]

@KLM No. But I, along with another hundred people, are ready to board KL642 over an hour ago. Once again, #KLM makes sure to give you not what you paid for but whatever they manage to give, which is a very #badservice to say the least.

Announcing Grok!

Grok is an AI modeled after the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, so intended to answer almost anything and, far harder, even suggest what questions to ask!

Grok is designed to answer questions with a bit of wit and has a rebellious streak, so please don’t use it if you hate humor!

A unique and fundamental advantage of Grok is that it has real-time knowledge of the world via the 𝕏 platform. It will also answer spicy questions that are rejected by most other AI systems.

Grok is still a very early beta product – the best we could do with 2 months of training – so expect it to improve rapidly with each passing week with your help.

Thank you,
the xAI Team

With the hype of #GenAI some companies will undertake the task of building their own large models from scratch and most will die trying. This is why it is so important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of any AI implementation #T663T

3 to 4 cloud vendors has become the norm, using one is rarely done. #cloud #cloudproviders #T661T

Just 7 companies make up over 50% of the #NASDAQ 100

Data grows 10X every 5 years. The implication is that data platforms that are expected to live 15 years or more, should be prepare to scale 1000X

APIs are cool.

Types of #data used to power #AI/#ML applications. #T660T

[David Ayvar @DavidAyvar]

#DBversioning is key to upgrades & migrations. When done at the data level, it'd include versioning of rows, tables &/or datums at the cellular level. But this does not happen often. #Versioning of DB schemas -the abstract design of relationships bw tables, is more typical.#T659T

[David Ayvar @DavidAyvar]

Why #PromptEngineering? when code becomes data, data becomes code. #T658T

[David Ayvar @DavidAyvar]

Solo el 8% de empresas en la #UnionEuropea estaba usando #IA en 2021. Se ve bajo, pero el diablo está en los detalles: el porcentaje sube a 28% cuando se habla de empresas grandes. Y eso fue en 2021, imagínense hoy.

@DonCachaco @DonCachaco , visita La Lucha. Mi recomendación: Pavo a la leña. Si hace frio, con una tasa de café pasado. Si hace calor, con un vaso de chicha morada. Disfruta!

[David Ayvar @DavidAyvar]

On average, 8% of #EU firms use #AI. Nordic countries lead on digital readiness, with 24% of firms in #Denmark using AI; in contrast, #Romania has the lowest take-up, at just 1% of firms. #Portugal (17%), #Germany (11%), #UK (15%), and #Slovenia (12%) also scores well. #T657T

When it comes to clouds for #DistributedTraining, there are two kinds. 1) General-purpose public clouds like #AWS, #GCP, and #Azure Cloud, and 2) Machine-learning-specific clouds like #OVH Cloud or #GridAI. I believe Grid AI focuses on Pytorch exclusively though. #T656T
