IBTC FridayOut: The new hype
IBTC FridayOut Newsletter 🍿
Crypto has crashed, Generative AI is the new hype 😎.
May I shock you that the two banks (Signature bank + Silvergate capital) who were early adopters of providing crypto banking solutions are all dead in 2023! In fact, Nigeria’s very promising Lazer Pay - owned by the wonder Kid, Njoku - also announced its dissolution a few weeks back.
In a nutshell, we can find some agreement to say the hype with Crypto is gone. But here comes our new hype thing - Generative AI 🌠.
Few weeks ago, Elon and other AI experts signed an open letter to delay the continual development in the Generative AI and LLM (Large Language Model) space. However, one thing popular with rich people is that they trust the hype. Nobody loves to miss out from the next big thing, not even when you have the money to afford it.
With my little relationship with the co-founder of Netflix, I realized every super rich always wants a slice to the big cake. No wonder, Elon is secretly recruiting AI researchers and engineers to compete against Open AI #

Every big media is really trying to be like TikTok these days. Twitter has been leading in the race recently with initiatives like its “For You” tab. Yesterday, Elon Musk tweeted about the new feature, Monetization.
The Monetization feature will offer followers subscription to materials from Longform text to hours long video. 😂 Twitter is trying to be TikTok this time for real for real.
Elon Musk went further to say “For the next 12 months, Twitter will keep none of the money. You will receive whatever money we receive…”. It is noteworthy to mention premium subscribers already exist as a feature, so I look forward to how it all spans out.
Personally, I feel it is all tricks to make rich people pay him $8 per month.

Recently, I was learning how to write SVG by myself. In all sincerity, I searched around for software to make my life better while writing it. I preferred Open-Source utilities over some heavy and priced Photoshop. If you are a designer and never used this tool, it is super simple to convert your image designs to svg with inkscape trace.
