Looks like Qualcomm's trying to change phone game...
The semiconductor company just released some teasers on the Snapdragon 8, Gen 3. Apparently, it's AI-heavy.
Expect features like AI-driven camera tools with ultra-fast speeds (the chip boasts speeds that are 98% faster than previous models). Not only that, but it'll be able to run AI models like Stable Diffusion and Llama 2. Clearly, Qualcomm's stepping it up.
Samsung's Galaxy S24 will likely be the first to sport it. They'll also be integrating 30% faster CPU, 240fps gaming, and advanced 5G support.
More details drop at Qualcomm’s event tomorrow. We're keeping our eyes peeled!

Ok, this one may be a bit drama-heavy, but we couldn't help ourselves...
Billionaire Eric Schmidt, once atop Google, has sunk at least $100M into startup accelerator Steel Perlot with 29-year-old girlfriend CEO Michelle Ritter (and yes, Mr. Schmidt happens to also be married).
Steel Perlot aimed big, promising to foster next-gen ventures...even though no one seems to truly know what the company is all about.
Schmidt has previously described it as “an AI and analytics company of companies.”
Another interesting tidbit is Ritter dropping names like Bezos & Bloomberg being involved...yet, no solid proof has come out on that either.
So far, they’ve invested $20 million into more than a dozen companies, including AI company Pryon.
Schmidt has also been very active around Washington in regards to AI.
Is Steel Perlot a strategic part of his AI plans? Or is this turning into a sideshow gone wrong?
Only time will tell.

✍️ CRAFT A COMPELLING COVER LETTER
You’ve heard about it from your coworkers…you’ve seen friends posting about it…can ChatGPT actually make you a solid cover letter?
With the right strategy, absolutely! Let’s get right into it:
• Understand the job requirements: Provide ChatGPT with specifics about the job you're applying for — including the job title, key responsibilities, and desired qualifications. Prompt: "I'm applying for a software developer position where teamwork and problem-solving skills are vital."
Hint: You can use multiple prompts to “train” ChatGPT on the data that’s important to you. For example, you could say “Please respond in the affirmative once you’ve integrated the following data…”
• Detail your background: Share brief details about your educational and professional background. This helps ChatGPT understand your qualifications. Prompt: "I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and 3 years of experience in full-stack development."
• Highlight your skills and achievements: Ask ChatGPT to help you list and elaborate on your key skills and accomplishments. Prompt: "Help me describe my proficiency in Java and a project where I led a team to build a mobile application."
• Address the hiring manager: If you know the name of the hiring manager or the person to whom you are addressing the cover letter, share that with ChatGPT. Prompt: "The hiring manager's name is Alex Johnson."
• Generate cover letter content: Once you’re ready to go, have ChatGPT draft a compelling cover letter for you by prompting: "Using the details above, craft a cover letter for the software developer position."
One last thing before you get started: remember, all LLM-based content needs human touch. So while ChatGPT can be a great assistant, you’ll still need to put in the legwork to get the most genuine output!
After all, AI is here to enhance us, not replace us! 🤩
