Good Morning from the Promptbox Team!

There’s a massive Avalanche ($AVAX) gaming narrative brewing. I’m seeing a number of influencers getting into the space, which will drive retail fomo when the time is right.

Get familiar with Trader Joe and Uniswap.

Two coins that fit that narrative are $BEAM and $SHRAP.
I’m adding at these levels. (.008 & .17)

If you don’t have access to CEX (like NY) you can get both on Uniswap

Happy Monday. Let’s get it.

*Just a heads up that this will be a short week for us. Starting Wednesday we’ll be off until next Monday. During this time we’re changing up the look and feel and introducing some new sections and features.

November 20, 2023

In a what the actual f moment, Sam Altman has been ousted from his role as CEO of OpenAI by the company's board.

This move, following a board review that concluded Altman was not fully transparent in his communications, has sparked widespread speculation and theories about the underlying reasons for his dismissal from the helm of one of the world's most prominent AI companies.

Theory 4 - Security Incident: A major security or privacy issue within OpenAI, especially concerning ChatGPT, could be a factor.
Theory 5 - AI Ethics Conflict: Altman's approach to AI development, especially regarding AGI (artificial general intelligence), might have clashed with the board's vision.
Theory 6 - Intellectual Property Issues: Legal liabilities regarding the use of copyrighted content in AI models are also speculated.
Theory 7 - Internal Power Dynamics: Although less likely, an internal power struggle, such as a coup by the CTO, is theorized.
Theory 8 - Personal Conduct Issues: Unprofessional behavior or personal matters are considered as potential reasons, though the board's statement suggests professional or business causes.
