That Sound Looks Good
Recently I discovered an incredible mix from the electronic artist Nitepunk; it’s a recording of a live show at DEF in Atlanta, GA. Nitepunk strings together relentless, heavy dubstep and drum ‘n’ bass tracks for an hour. It’s honestly inspiring me to want to get back into DJing.

“Microcontent Pipeline to Chatbots and Voice Assistants”
Use microcontent to put your team in the driver’s seat to the next level of content publishing for intelligent chatbots. By now reality has revealed that ChatGPT is not ready to write our product documentation for us. With no control over what the publicly-trained models scrape from our websites and blogs and how it assimilates our documentation with other less-authoritative sources, we’re left to wonder where we go next. If we want reliable bots, we’ll need to train our own models and deploy them to our staff and our customers. Let us show you what we’ve learned so far.
