Thankful to @TobiiTechnology, which gives me the ability to type on a digital keyboard using eye gaze technology, since I no longer have the strength to use my fingers to type. The TD-Pilot also gives me the ability to speak in my own voice using my eyes 😳

I’ve been in my happy place watching each of the 21 stages of the #TDF2023 on @gcntweet. It’s energized me through July and has been another milestone to be grateful for. On to #LaVuelta23 next month.

Very excited for #TdF2023! Thought I wouldn’t make it for this year’s race.
@LeTour de France is finally here 🙌

I recommended #TheBigNine by @amywebb back when it was initially published. So much of what she predicted back then is unfolding before our eyes today. – at Toronto, Ontario
#TheBigNine by @amywebb is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the global impact of #AI and what’s behind the companies that decide its direction.

OpenAI’s Mira Murati, is the most interesting person in tech right now fastcompany.com/90855799/6-t… “You could make technological progress in a vacuum without real-world contacts. But then the question is, Are you actually moving in the right direction?”

I suspect this has implications for those who have already lost their voice because of #ALS, cancer, other medical condition, and want to use a digital copy of their original voice for assistive device use. #voiceAI #AAC > Wondering how much content is required to train the AI 🤔

7 years ago I recall sharing my strategic IT plan with my boss…I brought up Ray Kurzweil’s “second half of the chessboard” and how we needed to prepare for the exponential change about to hit us. Well, if GPT- 4 doesn’t convince you that we’re here, I’m not sure what will.

If only there was a cure for #ALS. I’d be jumping whole hog into GPT-4 to solve all sorts of #HigherEd problems… and beyond 💪🏻
*what a time to be in tech!
here is GPT-4, our most capable and aligned model yet. it is available today in our API (with a waitlist) and in ChatGPT+.

it is still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it.
