The fourth edition of this series is coming now. During the week, we consume massive amounts of content. However, often we see something that is cool and than we either forget about it or it is already replaced by the next cool thing.
For me this cool stuff is not necessarily just a cool video. It is something that either can bring some value to you and me, makes you think or wonder about something or just inspires you to do something new. It would be amazing, if you pause for a second and contemplate what was interesting for you last week and share it in the comments below. So, are you ready? Let's jump in then.
Article about the perfect Game of Thrones Boss:
This article I found on LinkedIn cracked me up last week. Who would be the better boss? Who would you bend the knee for? I would take Jon probably as boss, regardless his lack of being able to delegate tasks. For Daenerys, like the article points out, "seems to enjoy burning people alive just a little too much for me to be totally comfortable with her managerial skills”. Word!
Artificial Intelligence Beats ProGamer
The topic was quite some news last week. It seems that Elon Musk and his people are desperate to proof that there is something human-hating in AI (*jokes). Anyways, this is a very spectacular result. The company states: "Our Dota 2 result shows that self-play can catapult the performance of machine learning systems from far below human level to superhuman, given sufficient compute.” The link to the results is extremely interesting if you want to know more on how self-play systems work.
Video that motivated me this week by Navy Seal Admiral McRaven
Did you make your Bed this morning? I loved this explanation by Navy Seal McRaven and I immediately ordered his book. What do you think?
Quote for this week: “Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful” by Thich Nhat Hanh
I know it is cheesy but I was wondering this morning while going to work why all the people are looking kind of angry! Is it because it is Monday? Because the summer is almost over? I don’t know but I believe we should smile a lot this week.
#QOTD: What did you find interesting in the last week?
Please leave a comment with your thoughts and ideas.
My series of posts is about making you think a little deeper about every day concepts. So please, if you liked it upvote this article. It would mean the world to me, really!
