Greetings friends.
For those who are receiving this email for the very first time, a very warm welcome from me
As always, this email itself will be on the Notion page which collates the previous emails sent to this list/Google Group
For the last month, I wasn't able to update much content on the Notion page, this was due to a combination of being busy with work and some personal matters and some travel.
For Generative AI there was a lot of posting on the shared Slack channel but I've also had some feedback that maybe I should consider migrating that to a Telegram group with Topics. Telegram would make the community much more inclusive since currently it requires a paid Slack workspace to participate within the shared Slack channel.
I would love to receive more feedback on this.
Two talks I encourage all of you to watch/listen if you haven't done so already
Yat Siu's Ted 2023 Talk entitled 'The Dream of Digital Ownership, Powered by the Metaverse' https://youtu.be/IPvR43dRmRY
Yat Siu's podcast with Simon Sinek: https://simonsinek.com/podcast/episodes/a-new-paradigm-for-trust-with-entrepreneur-yat-siu/
a) Web3
I just added some preliminary material on RIP-7560 which talks about Native Account Abstraction
The link to the entire page on my curated content on various web3 topics is below
b) Generative AI
Other than curating some material about LLamaindex (formerly GPT Index) including comparisons to Langchain. I didn't find relevant content which warranted adding to the main Notion page,

Last month showed that the world of Gen AI is relentless in terms of product cadence with Stability AI launching Stable Video Diffusion and SDXL Turbo. Javi Lopez with Magnific AI, Pika Labs Text to Video product and last but not least the OpenAI leadership saga. Grok from X is likely to be made available very soon to Premium+ subscribers
I'll be updating some links posted on the Slack channel here
The link to the entire page on my curated content on various topics in Generative AI is below
I'm consolidating links to my Notion pages via LinkTree so it may be easier to share the below URL to your friends and acquaintances if they wish to access the pages as well as join this mailing list
If you no longer wish to receive these emails, let me know and I shall remove you from the list
As always, I would be very grateful if you could share with me your candid feedback on the content I curate as well as its presentation
As we head towards the holiday period, I would like to take a moment to thank all of you for being part of this community
I want to leave you with a quote from Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard which I hope resonates as much with you as it does for me
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
Wishing you a happy and prosperous 2024. May all your dreams come true
Always and forever your friend, Yusuf
