# Happy Leap Year  Day...Time for a Reboot

# How have you been doing?! 🤔🤗

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted so I figured February 29, 2024…Leap Year Day (or is it Leap Day of the Leap Year??) is a good time to reboot. I’ve taken a few months off from writing so as to mainly focus on learning more about Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

## Buzzy Hype or Reality

[ChatGPT](https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt) was released to the world on November 30, 2022. Probably like many of us, I started to wonder if this was buzzy hype or something worth checking out. [GitHub Copilot](https://github.blog/2022-06-21-github-copilot-is-generally-available-to-all-developers/) release sparked additional interest in the [AI technology](https://github.blog/2023-03-22-github-copilot-x-the-ai-powered-developer-experience/) behind how it works.

Stubbing through my research, my interest was really galvanized by a podcast. 📻🤖

[Swyx](https://twitter.com/swyx) and [Alessio's](https://twitter.com/FanaHOVA) podcast [Latent Space](https://www.latent.space/podcast) provides technical deep dives into AI/ML that is also newbie friendly. I highly recommend tuning in for high signal no noise as they have AI/ML researchers and entrepreneurs leading the [SOTA (state-of-the-art) research](https://paperswithcode.com/sota) and burgeoning industry.

## Where to next?

I plan to write more about my journey through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy your Happy Leap {{ Year }} Day!
