Welcome to The Digital Renaissance
Happy Sunday! Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, and the tech world is speculating!

Humane's Ai Pin is a $700 wearable, that offers a new way for smartphone capabilities, clipping to the chest for hands-free use. The device, developed for five years with over $200 million in funding, integrates advanced AI for voice, gesture, and touch commands.
Besides normal phone functions, it allows for taking photos and accessing a virtual assistant. But I still think AR glasses will be the wearable that will compete with smartphones.

The board of OpenAI has fired Sam Altman stating that he “was not consistently candid in his communications”. The President and co-founder Greg Brockman stepped down from the board but later quit due to the announcements.
To me, something doesn’t quite add up. Greg tweeted that they too were “still trying to figure out exactly what happened”.

🎨 Design and create with AI
I have ZERO talent for drawing or painting. But with this tool, even I can create amazing pieces!
KREA AI is, as they call it, “a design tool with AI inside”. You just draw to the best of your abilities, and prompt it to explain what you want it to be. It looks like magic!
And what I love is that you can plug it with cameras, iPad, and other software (like 3D), and create from those starting points.
