FUTURE WARS ARE ROBOTS VS ROBOTS

Remember when we needed pilots to fly jets? That's a thing of the past. AI is taking over. The US military just did a 17-hour test flight with no pilot. Just A.I. in control of the fighter jet.

The U.K., Italy & Japan are also testing A.I. fighter pilots. Who knows what the Chinese are doing. Helloooooooo?? Are we really giving AI control over missiles & torpedoes? Already?

On a side note: Watch out, Tom Cruise. A.I. is coming for your role in Top Gun 3.

Remember Eric Schmidt. Larry & Sergey's babysitter who ran Google for a couple of years. 

Eric says AI's impact on warfare will be as big as nuclear weapons. And Eric, the lego-master, wants a piece of the pie. His startup, Istari, wants to bring military equipment into the metaverse & use AI technology for development & maintenance. 

WILL SEARCH STAY FREE?

$224B in advertising revenue in 2022. With its search engine, Google has invented the most brilliant business model in the world. Powered by advertisers. Because you and I click on those ad links. That. Will. Change.

ChatGPT = No links. Answers only. A.I. gives you a straight answer. Best matcha tea? Here. Straight to check out. No ad links. No revenue. Sorry Sergey & Larry, ya biz-model is f****. 

But if not advertisers, who will pay for the computing power? Naveen Rao is dropping some knowledge:

So..Who's picking up the check? Some ideas:

• A.I. search turns into a consumer subscription biz?

• Will AI give you sponsored responses?

In the end. We don’t know. We're just writing this newsletter. But exciting times… 

QUICK & YUMMY BITES

ChatGPT just outperformed MBA students in an exam at Wharton University. All that studying just to get crushed by a tiny chatbot. Come on humans. Step up your game. 

(Use Oprah's voice) Microsoft got AI. Google got AI. Now Baidu also got AI. The Chinese search engine will launch an AI search bot in March. The stock jumped by 13%. You just gotta whisper "A.I." & investors will slide into your dms. 

AI replacing lawyers. You know what a boring job is? LAW. Let AI handle that stuff. The law firm "Allen & Overy" is launching an AI chatbot to help its lawyers draft contracts to increase human efficiency. 

USEFUL TOOLS

SheetGod: Excel sucks. Formulas suck. Here’s an AI tool that turns English into excel formulas in seconds.

XPression camera: Got a bad hair day? Want to look like Brad Pitt today. Transform yourself into anyone during a zoom call. A bit scary. But pretty cool. 

Whisper Memos: Ever recorded a voice memo to remember a brilliant idea & never listened to it again? I did. Use Whisper. Whisper turns your memo's automatically into an email to yourself.

AI PICTURE OF THE DAY

A baby-stroller. But made by Tesla. Looks slick. 🔥 

PREDICTION CORNER

Here, we look at sci-fi books & their prediction for the future. 

Today four predictions from "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" (1968, by Philipp K. Dick)

• Robots will look like people, act like people, and show emotions like people. You won't be able to tell the difference. Dating will become interesting. You won’t know you’re dating an android until…

• Humans will face an identity crisis. If you cannot tell the difference between robots & humans, what does make us human? Midlife-crisis incoming...

• Should humans have the power to switch off robots? What gives us the ethical power over robots if they are almost indistinguishable? Good point.

• Robot animals will outnumber real animals. Picture this. It's raining. You watch an episode of "The Office" on TV & your robot doggy comes for a cuddle. Will it be the same? Nah..I'm team real animals.

Excited to see how close those predictions come to reality.
