TwitchCon Las Vegas: Streamers’ Hangover or Lucky Strike?

Last year’s TwitchCon was a disaster of Titanic proportions, but this year in Las Vegas, things were considerably less trashy. Turns out, sin city didn’t quite hit the jackpot with the Twitch crowd. But hey, at least Twitch and its streamers made up, making it a somewhat less catastrophic reunion. The real tragedy? Bad poker hands and regrettable bets on roulette. Can we get a post-Vegas detox, please?

It’s safe to say Moreh is making it rain in the tech world, and who knows what they’ll optimize next – maybe an AI that optimizes AI optimizers? Just try saying that five times fast.

In a whirlwind of “negative press,” Carta’s CEO, Henry Ward, took an unconventional approach to damage control – email and a charming Medium post. But as fate would have it, the spotlight got even brighter, proving that the quirkier your plans, the more attention you attract. It’s the Streisand effect in action. Maybe, just maybe, this PR strategy is actually a stroke of genius disguised as a blunder. Who knew feigning obliviousness about issues could be the next big thing in market disruption?

Apple has taken autocorrect from being an annoying nemesis to an unexpected hero with the help of their “Transformer” model. Now, they’re diving headfirst into the world of generative AI and offering job opportunities to those who can keep up.
