Hey friend,
I hope you're doing great. There was no email or content last week because my power went out for 6 days after a tropical storm ripped through the area. Nevertheless I'm hard at work on the next Barn Burnt Down story about the nature of belief. It will be published next week. In the meantime I wanted to share things that piqued my interest.

GTP-3 is an incredible leap forward in the field of AI. Seth Godin does a remarkable job explaining the severity of this leap in his Akimbo podcast.
- This is a beautiful profile on Marcus Hutchins, a 22-year-old hacker who stopped the world's largest cyberattack...which landed him in FBI custody. WIRED magazine
New story update
- Next week's article is titled: Credo: A Careful Look Into The Fragmentation Of Belief. We've only become more divided in America over the last few years. I've learned that it's because we're tying our beliefs to our identities. So when someone says they don't like X politician, artist, etc, it feels like a personal attack. During my research I found a striking parallel between the Rwandan genocide and what's happening today. I'm excited to share it soon.
Talk soon,
Robert
