The Big & The Small

SNAP:

Welcome to My AI. “Snapchat is introducing a chatbot powered by the latest version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT. According to Snap CEO Evan Spiegel, it’s a bet that AI chatbots will increasingly become a part of everyday life for more people. Named ‘My AI,’ Snapchat’s bot will be pinned to the app’s chat tab above conversations with friends.” This is actually wild 🤯

wiz:

Not Khalifa, but a cloud security company. “Wiz today announced that it raised $300 million in a series D round co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Greenoaks Capital Partners, with participation from angel investors including Starbucks owner Howard Schultz and French business magnate Bernard Arnault, valuing Wiz at around $10 billion post-money.” Software security remains a booming market.

SPOTIFY:

An AI DJ?! Sure, why not?! “Spotify’s newest feature is an AI-powered DJ that curates and commentates on an ever-changing personalized playlist. Spotify describes it as an ‘AI DJ in your pocket’ that ‘knows you and your music taste so well that it can choose what to play for you.’ Check out this YouTube video on it…pretty cool stuff.

champions round:

A fantasy sports league app that caters to GenZ just raised $7M! “The funding round will go toward developing a new ‘Creator Rooms’ feature, which gives sports content creators the opportunity to engage further with younger players by creating content and fantasy sports games, whether that be hosting a combined two-week NHL and NBA snake draft, creating polls and more.” Click the button below.

Entrepreneur Advice 🗣️

A Networking Hack 🤝

Via How To Talk To Anyone, by Leil Lowndes: Limit the fidget dance. This is easier said than done because we so often do it unconsciously, but try to be more aware of those fidgety motions and do your best to restrain them. It’ll help you appear more confident, especially when it’s time to relay a tough message.

When we get that small window to work on something, we need to focus. Turn on Do Not Disturb and get to it. Diminish the distractions and watch the work take-off 🚀

When’s the last time you did something creative? Many of us are so caught up in the grind that we leave our imaginations to rust, and we don’t think twice about it because we don’t need them to earn our paychecks. But it turns out that imaginative thinking is more than just another skill; it’s essential to who we are as human beings, and utilizing it comes with a laundry list of benefits.
