TECH NEWS

I just learned last week about Nvidia, a big player in the AI world. They've had a massive 265% jump in revenue! It's like they're leading the charge in an AI revolution. Their CEO, Jensen Huang, says their chips are a big deal in this tech shift, and it looks like more and more people want AI stuff.

What's even more mind-blowing is how big Nvidia has become. Their value is almost as much as Canada's entire economy. That's huge! Being the third most prominent company in the US, their growth is all thanks to the crazy demand for their AI chips.

Hopefully, this will not be another rise and fall like Cisco's.

While this was nice, Don’t forget Sam Altman (OpenAI) asked the VCs to provide 7 trillion us dollars for the AI chip venture. Will he get that 7 trillion? I believe he would get at least half of that.

Nvidia desktop graphics cards have been my rock-stable companion since the 90s.

AI Chatbots: Be careful how you implement any AI chatbot for your business. Air Canada lost in court and court-ordered refunds as the Air Canada chatbot gave fake policies to customers.

WhatsApp: WhatsApp Web is set to introduce a feature allowing users to lock chats with a secret code, similar to the existing functionality on its mobile app versions. This enhancement aims to boost privacy for users on shared computers, safeguarding personal conversations from unauthorized access. However, the specific implementation details for the web version, such as whether chats will re-lock automatically like on mobile, are still being finalized. The mobile app already supports biometric authentication as an alternative to secret codes for chat access.

SOFTWARE

SparkReceipt: AI-Powered Pre-accounting and Receipt Management System

I've always found managing receipts and expenses tedious. I take photos, they are not searchable - not sure where i put those photos. When it comes to tax season - I am stressed - as all the medical bills, medications, and sportswear expenses are lost.

But SparkReceipt has changed the game for me. It's like having a personal little assistant that uses OCR and AI technology to digitize and organize all my financial documents effortlessly.

There are literally two steps:

1. Open the mobile app

2. I scan my receipts

   The app accurately captures essential details like the merchant, date, total, tax, and category. It's incredibly efficient and accurate, making tracking expenses a breeze.

The best part? I can access my receipts from anywhere thanks to its cloud storage and mobile and web apps. It even allows me to collaborate with my accountant, partner, or employees by inviting them to the app. This feature has made managing personal and business expenses straightforward and efficient.

Moreover, SparkReceipt understands receipts in various languages and supports conversions across 150 currencies. For e-receipts, I forward them to the app, which automatically extracts and categorizes the information for me. Yes, now I set Gmail and Outlook to forward those invoices - and they get into the system automatically.

I got lifetime access to SparkReceipt's Pro Plan for $24, including unlimited AI receipt scans, secret email forwarding, and bulk uploads.

It will reduce headaches by managing receipts. I am organizing and classifying them digitally.

CHATGPT

Use the free EleventLabs Text to Speech in the ChatGPT store to generate a voice using Jarvis. It's limited to 1500 characters, but cool as hell.

AI IMAGE

Google is having a tough time in the AI Space. OpenAI and others are already integrated into all popular tools and utilities and are extremely easy to integrate with systems. Google is spewing a lot of tech jargon to make Gemini stand but faces backlash again. Why - you asked?

This is absurd. Google is teaching AI about all these overmarketed diversity things? This Gemini will be doomed if they run with this political propaganda.

That’s all for now, folks!

I'm very curious to hear your thoughts on the newsletter format. It is opinionated, but I'm eager to know your thoughts. Let me know, and we can discuss it further. Send me a text at - https://m.me/ruhani.rabin
