ChatGPT can now see, hear and speak...yikes!

Plus this week's roundup of digital news [image]() Hi {NAME}, This week OpenAI announced plans to roll out new voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT. This allows you to have a voice conversation or show ChatGPT what you’re talking about. According to OpenAI, you'll be able to; 'Snap a picture of a landmark while traveling and have a live conversation about what’s interesting about it. When you’re home, snap pictures of your fridge and pantry to figure out what’s for dinner (and ask follow up questions for a step by step recipe). After dinner, help your child with a math problem by taking a photo, circling the problem set, and having it share hints with both of you.' Soon we won't have to use our brains at all! ...and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Check out the full article below. Cheers, Jeff What you need to know this week...

Here's a sneak peek into the latest content: Do You Need a Minimal Viable Product (MVP)? How do you know if your business idea will be a winner? We often get lost in the process of building the perfect product without first getting validation from the market. I’ve been there myself. You get blinders on and ignore the advice to test your idea. To really build your hustle from the ground up, you need to show people the most basic form of your product. And I don’t just mean physical products.
