🌎 North America tour
There has been a surge in readers and subscribers following the recent talks I've given.
In the last two weeks, I have held eight talks and classes, all on AI. It has been a bit hectic to keep up with Warp News as well, but it is a pleasant problem.
Next week I am traveling to Canada and the US for more assignments. Since I am covering two countries, I call this my North America tour, hehe. It's not quite Taylor Swift-class, but still.
🚋 Report from the latest meeting with the AI commission
This time in sunny Gothenburg, where, apart from AI discussions, we got an answer to the question of whether chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg rides the tram. Read the report.
📅 Free days this week and next
To coordinate lectures and travels with Warp News, I'm taking two days from the "free day" account. There are a total of 15 free days in a year, for childcare, illness, vacation, or as now, an overloaded calendar. With these two days, I have now used six days.
In other words, there will be a Premium Supporter article on Tuesday next week, but not on Thursday.
