Brain Food #6 | Nothing

Brain Food #6 | Nothing

Hello there!

ChatGPT launched last week and just like the rest of the world, I’ve been going crazy trying it out for every scenario I can think of! In fact, a ton of the summaries given below have been done via the tool. I urge everyone to check it out, probably one of the biggest AHA moments for me till date. Here’s the link 🚀🚀🚀

Talking about mega events… Looks like the young Brazilian team seems to be faring well in the World Cup - let’s hope they crush tonight as well! Sadly my 2nd favourite team - Japan - couldn’t go through.

Last week I dabbled more heavily into video content, so without further a-do, let’s deep-dive into a few of my top picks - have fun with it!

Do provide your feedback by replying to this email/DM/thread directly!

Meme of the week:

It was ETHIndia last week - I attended a few events, and just had to make a meme on web3 events

It's true

[World Cup x AI] - How world cup AI works and how some decisions are made [Youtube]

  • The World Cup uses AI instant replay technology to make offside calls
  • Video Assisted Referees (VAR) were introduced in 2018 to make offside calls more objective
  • For the 2022 World Cup, FIFA is introducing semi-automated AI offside technology to make referees less reliant on subjective perspectives

[Brand Building] - How Liquid Death's 40-year-old founder turned 'the dumbest name' and a Facebook post into a $700 million water brand [CNBC]

  • Liquid Death has since become a dominant force in the bottled water market with sales jumping from $2.8 million in 2019 to an estimated $130 million in 2022.
  • Liquid Death packages its water in a 16.9 fluid ounce “tallboy” cans emblazoned with a melting skull logo reminiscent of craft beers or energy drinks such as Monster and Rockstar.
  • The seed of the idea was planted when the CEO watched some friends perform with their band at the Vans Warped Tour music festival and saw them drinking out of Monster cans filled with water instead of energy drinks

[ChatGPT, AI] - What are the various applications of ChatGPT - [Linkedin]

  • My good friend, Suhas Motwani , wrote a great post on the various applications of ChatGPT, including:
  • A virtual assistant platform that uses AI to provide personalized, on-demand assistance for a wide range of tasks, such as scheduling, communication, and research
  • A health and wellness platform that provides personalized recommendations and coaching for fitness, nutrition, and overall well-being
  • PS: A ton of this newsletter was generated via a mix of Synth (YC S21) and ChatGPT

[Music] - Sample breakdown of Bonita Applebaum, by A Tribe Called Quest [Youtube]

  • Posting Tracklib again because its so fulfilling - worth checking this breakdown as well by an OF hip hop artist

[Crypto] - Telegram’s auction platform for usernames is launched, based on the TON blockchain [Coinmarketcap]

  • I’d no idea, but Telegram keeps launching and doing interesting things in the web3 space - such as a reseller marketplace for usernames!
  • Pavel Durov, founder of the Telegram Messenger, announced the launch of Telegram’s decentralized marketplace for buying and selling Telegram usernames in the username.t.me format - which has been quite successful

[Super Funny] - How funny is a Lex Fridman podcast, especially when he interviews Elon Musk [Shorts]

  • I’ve recently started following this new channel - Trillionaire Mindset - and I absolutely love them
  • This clip mimics a typical Lex Fridman podcast - which is super funny

[Movies, Epic] - Why does the movie Dune, sound so? [Youtube]

  • Dare I say that Dune is one of the best movies ever made? It’s definitely one of the most picturesque ones ever made
  • Hans Zimmer's score for the movie Dune is innovative and adds a huge amount of texture and scale to the world
  • Rather than using melodic themes to represent characters, Zimmer instead focuses on connecting certain sounds with groups and locations
  • Zimmer uses a variety of vocalizations, instruments, and rhythms to evoke different feelings for different groups and settings
