🦾 AI POWWOW
Yesterday I was in Lund, participating in the AI Nordic POWWOW, organized by Johan Wester. Johan is Sweden's best moderator, and also a Warp Premium Supporter.
I gave a talk on 'the perfect society' and participated in a couple of panel discussions. My speech was based on this text: 👩💻 Now, now, NOW! Now is the time to create!
The breakthrough we are now experiencing for generative AI will become a new platform on which large companies, huge fortunes, popular services, and new expressions will be built.
But almost none of that is built yet. You can build it.
🔋 Project Energy Society moves forward
Jonas Birgersson (yet another Premium Supporter 😀) also participated in the AI POWWOW, and the day before we met and discussed the latest in Project Energy Society.
A lot is happening. Collaborations with several stakeholders, including the City of Lund and a large real estate company. Some exciting news will be coming soon. Those of you who follow the newsletter always get the latest on the project.
In the Energy Society, batteries are a key component. In homes, in neighborhoods, in larger properties, in large battery parks and so on. Recently, the strength of many small batteries was shown, even though it was only a matter of a few hundred.
In April, there was a power failure in Stockholm after someone unfortunately pulled the wrong lever in a switchgear. The subway shut down, the traffic lights stopped working, and two nuclear reactors were turned off! A few hundred villa batteries came to the rescue.
This shows the weakness of the old, current (ha ha), grid, and the strength of the new one.
