HN Trying my hand at a curated newsletter

Hey everyone, My personality type i'm interested in 1,000 topics any given time. As such, I really enjoy reading shorter style newsletters or articles. Short Sample Dopamine Hits A short & sweet email newsletter focusing on interesting stuff on the internet Business Why Does Walmart Want TikTok? https://www.nytimes.com/by/raymond-zhong) With the US specifically President Donald Trump potentially banning the hot social media app TikTok, Walmart has teamed up with Microsoft to try and purchase it. That would be an interesting acquisition which would help boost sales and promote specific items to the younger TikTok audience That version of the app, Douyin, which works much like TikTok but is available only in China, has become not only a platform for goofy videos but also an e-commerce destination with the kind of reach among young buyers that Walmart would love to have. Technology How is GPT-3 Being Used? https://www.paolotrulli.com/articles/why-all-the-gpt-3-hype GPT-3 is an AI software program, developed by the company OpenAi which is backed by Elon Musk. Essentially, the program scours the internet reading, learning, and interpreting human behavior. It continually seeks information improving itself over time. Popular use cases are, having GPT-3 write articles, or social media posts (without detecting it) even tweaking it to build websites via HTML & CSS. Another example of Pieter Levels using GPT-3 to post various startup ideas where users can upvote or downvote the idea. Please upvote ideas that you feel are promising and downvote ideas that are bad, too vague, too obvious, or already exist. Ideas and their rating are fed back into GPT-3, so you (and others) constantly train the model what good and bad ideas are which improves the next ideas it comes up with! At least, that's the idea (aye!). What do you think? You can check it out here if interested https://www.paolotrulli.com/newsletter
