Developer lifestyle is good

Layoffs are horrible. Despite the terror unleashed in tech, there’s still an impressive developer lifestyle to look forward to: from Adobe holiday party with surprise appearance of Katy Perry to OpenAI’s beautiful San Francisco office hosting young female developers wine and dine while explaining DALLE concepts and handing out luxury picnic blankets, to Solana’s free co-working and hackathon opportunities. In our next newsletter, we will discuss how to handle layoffs and the psychology, and why being laid off is not your (or your friend/ family) fault. Disclaimer : not a career counselor.

Talking about GPT-3, both ChatGPT and DALLE-like generative arts are trending right now. Everyone is posting their AI selfie on instagram The holiday hero image of this newsletter is also generated using prompted AI. Scroll down to read about the model, magic behind generative arts — Stable Diffusion.

Have you seen a lot of glamorous digital avatars popping up on your friends social media profiles? Chances are these are generative art created using LensaAI which utilizes Stable Diffusion. See our stable diffusion flash cards below.

When GPT-3 first came out, many experimented with its creative and imaginative writing capabilities. Now ChatGPT made it even easier to interact with. Creating with AI can help us explore creative ideas and iterate quickly. It can surcharge artist and non-artist creativity. Ask it to write a rap about machine learning and let us know what you get! While GPT writing can still give hints that it is synthetic, sometimes it is hard to distinguish AI writing from human writing. One college student used GPT-3 to generate a blog that caused quite some stir on reddit. You can now also use AI to generate stock images — GhostlyStock and use AI to generate resumes e.g. resumeglow.com (mentioning a technology is not an endorsement).

People have been obsessed with generating digital avatars with Lensa Ai and Astria Tailor-made Al image generator strmr.com. (Disclaimer: mentioning a tech is not an endorsement).

Learn more about these new generative trends by checking out our GPT, OpenAI and GAN flash cards.

PS: While we are still working on our newseltter text-embedding-ada-002 is already out on Dec 15, 2022! Previous DaVinci was the smart model. OpenAI is on a roll.

Career — Layoffs

We wrote extensively about handling rejection and layoffs in tech in previous newsletter. Disclaimer: we are not career counselors this is not professional advice. Not all companies require computer science degrees. For example during the Lesbian Who Tech conference, job opportunities questionnaires ask for certificates instead of degrees. (By the way, the conference also offered child care center for attendees. We see that as very helpful for visiting mom engineers. Shows progress in tech inclusion). Finally some certificates are useful! They don’t always give the best ROI. As a bootcamp graduate myself, I believe in the power of certificates, but I think the society and Silicon Valley has a long way to go to accept them. Recently there have been positive changes. But recent tech layoffs surely didn’t help.
