We will add to our Debauchery Week today and sprinkle a little defiance into the wonderful everyday life we know! Once the artificial robots take all the money, we follow up with science and a word lover. We flip to anti-advice and finish with the perfect exercise video for 2023.

There have been a lot of technological breakthroughs in the last few years. New vaccine types, space landers, and telescopes appear to see the time. Some of these things are easier to understand than others. We now have new workable AI forms; we discussed them in this newsletter. Image creators, and content editors, now we have a chatbot that will talk to you. Many AI creations have come from OpenAI, which looks like a Limited Partnership governed by a nonprofit board called OpenAI.

Reuters gives us a new story about OpenAI and some of this new technology. In the piece Reuters, they report that several sources said OpenAI had told potential investors it expects $200 million in 2023 and $1B in 2024. Revenue projections are speculation, but it did get us thinking about the tech and who would buy it. Will OpenAI license the tech to for-profit companies, or will it be open sources like Linux or WordPress? In the open source market, experts sometimes describe it as the technology being accessible, but configuration and maintenance are not.

Bring on progress, innovation, and whatever helps get; high-quality, thoughtful, researched content out to the public in better ways. As for replacing; journalism, excellent writing, creativity, and new forms of media, we got time!

In other scientific news, Nature Magazine gives us a list of what to watch for in 2023. Space, medicine, climate, and nuclear waste are all on the watch list for 2023. It is a quick read, and our overall thought after reading this piece is simply this:

When the talking heads are done talking, and all the rhetoric has bored the last of its listeners, the rest of the world continues to work on making a better planet and a better human experience and will continue exploring the real multiverse. Real life, real people, and real things move us forward.

The story of how Wordle got started is well-known these days. Creator Josh Wardle built the game for his girlfriend. The NYT who bought the game/app this year wrote a sweet piece with a few details we had not read before.

Wardle initially developed the prototype in 2013, but Wardle's friends could have been more impressed. A few years later, Wardle can say, "How you like me now!" Wordle 2.0 came with a limit to playing once a day.

Wardle's girlfriend, Palak Shah, was the first Wordle player, and after the "aww" moments, Wardle put her to work helping to drill down from 12,000 words to the 2,500 words that would be familiar to the largest group of people. Interesting recruiting technique!

The Guardian is trying to improve your life, if this were not the 2022 Debauchery Week, we would too, but it is. So we will give you the opposite of improvement advice, to have a little fun. We asked Google to generate five numbers out of 100 randomly; let's see what we've got:

28 Always be willing to miss the next train.

W.A.S. Or have a good excuse in your back pocket for why you a running late.

5 Consider going down to four days a week. A disproportionate amount of your fifth day's work will likely be taxed, so you'll lose less than a fifth of your take-home pay.

W.A.S. If four is better than five - three must be outstanding!

87 Learn how to breathe deeply: in through the nose, out through the mouth, making the exhale longer than the inhale.

W.A.S. Pro-Tip: Don't practice this underwater.

2 On the fence about a purchase? Please wait 72 hours before you buy it.

W.A.S. Unless Amazon offers free returns, then buy away!

88 Buy a bike and use it. Learn how to fix it, too.

W.A.S. Especially one with a Big A** rocket haulin' motor!!

You're Welcome.

We had a story about the origins of Peloton and super cycle instructors. Push that to next week. Debauchery Week Day 2 calls for a skit from Saturday Night Live called ‘Pelotaunt’. The only thing that would make this better is if you watch it while eating a gallon of ice cream.
