Bleeding-Edge Workshops this week - on Web3 and ChatGPT


Hello Reader,

If you're interested in technology that is so far on the cutting-edge that it's 'bleeding-edge' I have 2 free workshops you can attend this week:

TOMORROW 11am NZ time -

Token gating lets you prove, purchase, or earn membership in a community.

This interactive workshop will showcase examples of communities that use token gating, and all attendees will receive a TechWeek23 NFT. We will create a membership community during the workshop, to demonstrate the utility.

This is an interactive workshop, held on Zoom.

LATER THIS WEEK -

My recent workshop 'Create a 3-Month Marketing Plan with ChatGPT' was such a hit, I've decided to help more people use AI technology through LinkedIn Livestreams.

This is not a Zoom webinar, and you will not need to be on camera. This is a 30-minute co-working session using ChatGPT.

I will give a few minutes of instruction, and some copy-paste prompts. Then I will set a timer for 10 minutes and play some music. You will have a conversation with your own AI chatbot, and come back for show-and-tell. We will have 2 x 10-minute sprints during this half hour.

💸 “The cost to use a given level of AI falls about 10x every 12 months, and lower prices lead to much more use.” - Sam Altman Hello Reader, Last week I taught a half-day workshop in partnership with the Regional Business Partner Network at Enterprise North Canterbury. We gathered dozens of entrepreneurs and business owners together for an afternoon of AI training. They had heard the hype, seen the demos, and played around with a few tools.
