Shelly Palmer - Will We Hear from OpenAI This Week?

Greetings from somewhere over the Pacific Ocean. As you can imagine, a 13-hour flight with WiFi is both a blessing and a curse.

In the news: I'm wondering if we're going to hear from OpenAI this week (which may happen while I'm in the air). If we don't, we're overdue for whatever the next iteration of their AI offerings will be. As you know, we will hear about Apple Intelligence (featuring ChatGPT) today, but that's already old news.

I'll cover everything Apple announces in tomorrow's email. We'll also have a full description available at shellypalmer.com. Until then, we're just going to have to wait for some juicy Strawberry news.

As always your thoughts and comments are both welcome and encouraged. Just reply to this email. -s
