2024 will be another year of the same. Onward!

This year’s learnings.
This is our 47th, and final, post of 2023.
To look back, we start with the top five posts of the year.
5. The week GPT-4 hit the world, and how we made sense of it.
4. Diving into the user interactions that will define the AI generation.
3. Emerging news of an OpenAI phone and Meta Ray-Ban’s on display.
2. Covering everything from the week of OpenAI’s self-inflicted chaos.
1. Our top post of the year looked at the emerging personal AI tool market. Hint — progress has continued.
Thank you for hanging out with us all year. It’s been so fun to share our learnings with you. On to this week’s best.
