Chat AI models are developing a sense of the world.  It is truly interesting to see how much improvement in object understanding has developed from GPT-3.5 to GPT-4.

I was wondering when someone would do this.  Ask GPT-4 how to become rich.  And it recommends setting up a business.  Bravo!  That shows real-life understanding.

High-school graduates are increasingly turning away from college, and going to apprenticeships.  This might allow them an easier track to starting a business - and getting rich!

Speaking of which, this is marvelous technology - and coming out of Africa!  This guy made use of his college education, for sure, unlike many American graduates.  Bravo!

This ronin used Emacs in college, a very long time ago.  This was because there were few available text editors for the mainframes that were used.  I think this is the only way something with as high a learning curve could gain traction.  Many geeks who grew up on this still use Emacs, and if you are proficient, and customize to how you like, it feels very powerful.  But there are now editors with lower learning curves, and I would only take the time to master it if I were coding for a living.  This is another "Learn Emacs in a year" posting.  Interesting that the author, who was born and raised in Asia, takes the "learn from the master" approach.  I notice that some in the comments section of western geek boards are "meh".
