Well, long time no see

(I will fix the template till tomorrow, let’s go simple today hehe)

It’s always “it’s not you, it’s me”, but in this case it’s actually true.

Due to some personal problems this year I haven’t been able to keep this newsletter alive, which is a real shame considering the amount of progress in the AI and ML field during 2023. You win some and you lose some, I guess.

What has 2023 been like? I suppose I will make a better recap closer to the end of the year, but there has been looots of cool things this year.

I hope that we now can start on a better side, we’re soon in for the holiday’s. Here in Sweden it’s -8c (15 degrees fahrenheit). Chilly!

Spotify layoffs

Spotify put out a newsletter today in which they explain that they need tooo…..

Fire a bunch of people!

Reason? Well, they (along with lots of other tech businesses during the last few years) have been hiring way to many people. Now when interests, rents are raising, inflation and lots of added costs to businesses, they have to save.

The Fed and ECB (European Central Bank) seems to slow and even stop interest hikes now. Is it still too late? is the damage already done?

Do you think that these companies will hire back lots of people? Or will they try to replace us all with dank AI. 🤣

Thank you all for reading! Have a great day, and see you tomorrow ;)
