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.

Even the best prompts will fail without the right context. Giving AI backstory...
🗂️ "An AI Agent runs tools in a loop to achieve a goal." - Simon Willison Hello Reader, Generative AI makes things for you. Agentic AI does things for you. This distinction, between making and doing, is the next step on the exponential curve of capability. An AI Agent can initiate and execute tasks independently, finding the best way to transition from an initial state to a goal state by using any tools it has available, as often as it is capable of doing. In his excellent primer on AI...
🌱 “It’s clear that we are well into the adoption phase of AI, but not everyone is adapting.” - Lou Compagnone Hello Reader, I was in Wellington this week for the #AotearoaAISummit, the annual festival hosted by the AI Forum New Zealand. I livetweeted the event on LinkedIn (live-posted? doesn't have the same flavour) on the hashtag linked above, and I made AI anime illustrations of all the speakers. You can see my takeaways (and my art) below: (Please note - other than the illustrations, no AI...
