Snippets #5: Three Big Things

The fortnightly round-up of everything you need to astound others with your knowledge of AI.

What are the biggest trends of next year?

During our live event on Friday, we released our predictions of 2025's Three Big Things. Watch the replay here.

1. Apocalypse? Now? Whilst significant social and economic change used to take centuries, it's now happening in months. 2025 will be the year we come to realise we're living through a never-ending stream of mini apocalypses, where what we thought we knew is no longer the case.
2. Bigger Gaps Inequality is driven by a lack of access to culture, education, skills and knowledge. AI adds another layer that many will not have access to. The gaps between the 'haves' and 'have-nots' will get wider in 2025.
3. The Bitcoin Comparison Bitcoin was virtually worthless in 2009. A decade later the world woke up and realised it was valuable and here to stay. One Bitcoin may be worth $100,000 next year. We also expect 2025 to be the year many people accept that despite the hype, AI is valuable and won't be going anywhere.

Want to get ahead of the change?

?? Claude delivers more style, again. We've always loved this LLM's writing abilities. And now its easier to control the style of its responses. Give it a go. Or find out more here.

?? Bing! Better? Competitive? It's proving a little controversial but Bing is now an AI-first search engine. We think its better. But not as good as Perplexity or ChatGPT's web search. The search engine wars continue...

???? The robots are (finally) coming Kind of! Not quite the gift for the loved one who has everything but it seems there might be at least one almost affordable humanoid helper on the market next year.

?? An uncertain outlook Will AI safeguards be ditched? Will it start messing with reality? There are some who are starting to get concerned.

?? Ep2 of Season 2 of ChattingGPT just went live. Maryrose Lyons and Neil Harrison on using Neuroscience to drive AI adoption. Listen on Spotify. Or Apple Podcasts.Looking to Level Up?
