AI

AI is everywhere. It influences which words we use in texts and emails, how we get our news on X (formerly Twitter), and what we watch on Netflix and YouTube. (It’s even built into the Codecademy platform you use to learn technical skills.) As AI becomes a seamless part of our lives and jobs, it’s…

As a developer or code enthusiast, you need to be as skilled in using AI tools as you are programming languages and frameworks. That’s a big reason why we recently enhanced our interactive learning environment with built-in AI tools that help you learn and expanded our catalog to include new AI-centered courses and case studies.…

I just read (1-31-24) that during the Pandemic, students (EdTech, K-12, Higher Education) went down something like 4% in learning. That’s not good. I blame it on two areas – that seem to reverberate that e-learning isn’t as effective (I disagree).  The first? Professors and teachers only do synchronous-based learning (which I believe isn’t as effective…

Data has the power to tell an impactful story. Sometimes data sheds light on an important but ignored phenomenon, while other times the data dazzles with its sheer impressiveness. Take this year, for example — the movie Barbie broke box office records, ChatGPT reached 100 million weekly users, and the escalating global temperatures marked 2023…

AI website builders are on the rise, which begs the question: Are web developers safe? Is web development still a viable career path? If you ask us, of course web development is still a relevant profession because:  There’s still a huge demand for web developers  AI tools are no replacement for real people Programming, the…

Last week, I attended a conference in Amsterdam. The conference? World of AI Summit (as in Artificial Intelligence). While, as with any conference, there were good sessions, especially the opening sessions in the morning, I was a bit surprised at how many of the speakers never addressed a couple of points, including the “what happens…

There’s a reason they say looking for work is a full-time job. Between tweaking your resume for different roles, filling out applications (after already submitting your resume), and juggling interviews, it can eat up a lot of your free time.  So why not leave some of the grunt work to AI? We recently launched several…

Everyone wants to talk about AI, more specifically, OpenAI’s GPT, the most advanced large multi-modal model out there. Last week, we had the opportunity to chat with Ted Sanders, a Machine Learning Engineer at OpenAI, whose job it is to explore what GPT is bad at and try to improve it.  Naturally, we have lots…

Before diving into the topic this week, you probably realized that you haven’t seen any posts in the last two weeks. There is a reason for that, for those who were unaware. In the cliff notes version it goes like this – I suffered a near-drowning episode at the end of July, which admittingly I…
