Summary

Elon Musk and Twitter had a heck of a week. Musk buys 9.2% of the stock becoming the biggest shareholder, is offered a seat on the board, but turns it down.

Twitter also announces that it is adding an “Edit” button to the platform. They’ve been working on it for over a year and the feature will first come to Twitter Blue subscribers.

Dall.E is a neural network AI that can create images from concepts expressed in natural language. You tell it what to draw, it draws it, and it is actually pretty good at it.

And we interview Afua Bruce, Adjunct Faculty at the Heinz College of Information Systems and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University and author of the book “The Tech That Comes Next”.
