ByteSize Daily Wrap - 2023/11/24

Welcome to your daily dose of Atometrix ByteSize, where we’re here to cover what’s buzzing in the tech hive. Our minds are abuzz with excitement as we're all set to decode the latest bytes from the ever-evolving domains of AI, low code, and technology. From OpenAI's thrilling (and slightly scary) discoveries to Tesla's open-source innovation and Google’s teetering Gemini, our tech panorama is packed to the brim.

Now, about that warning from OpenAI. If science fiction has taught us anything, it’s that every revolutionary AI discovery comes with a side of impending doom, right? We can't help but imagine a sci-fi movie unfolding in real time. Tesla, on the other hand, is out here reshaping the automotive industry like a kid with a new box of LEGOs. Then there's Bard, our new video companion, who we're hoping doesn’t develop an attitude problem (no one likes a know-it-all, Bard). How about a peek into the internal drama at OpenAI? It's like a tech world soap opera, but without the evil twins... or are there? And lastly, Microsoft and Nvidia are forging an alliance, channeling their inner Avengers to conquer the AI world. In other news, Google's Gemini seems to have caught a case of stage fright, so it's back to re-doing its makeup before the grand debut.
