#8: AI With Me by Richmond Alake - Half Way Already!
Half Way Already!
We are halfway through 2022!
The halfway mark has come too quickly, and it's already felt like an entire year has gone by for others. 2022 continues to be eventful and, at times, unpredictable. During these couple months, I've found myself exploring new opportunities and starting projects I never saw myself starting in January.
One of them is my new podcast, where I speak to machine learning, data science and AI practitioners with respected reputations within the industry. You might have heard of some of these individuals, such as Ken Jee, Harpreet Sahota, Shashank Kalanithi and many more.

Elevating Your Game by Rising Above Self-Competition I spend over an hour in the gym most days of the week. I have done this regularly for the past seven years. Why? My body responds well to weightlifting, and for some weird reason, it feels like meditation. The solitude of the gym, the rhythm of lifting heavy weights, the countdown - it's a peculiar therapy that soothes my mind after a long day of bashing keyboards, staring and glaring at monitors. I only train alone, and I don't really talk...
Launching into 2023's Latter Half Momentum is underrated, just behind consistency. The first half of 2023 was noisy, right?

In the midst of this clamour, it quickly became apparent that many generative AI applications were merely flashy demos lacking tangible business value. I, too, built a flashy demo, but I've come to understand the need to shift from the glitz...
Computer Vision Still Retains its Appeal Like many AI enthusiasts, my journey also began with a fascination for Computer Vision.My journey into AI, started with my academic pursuit to obtain an MSc in Machine Learning, Computer Vision and Space Robotics. The masters was tough, really tough. But inbetween long lectures tackling complex topics like calculus, kinematics, and traditional machine learning techniques seemed like an insurmountable mountain. But amidst the challenging academic...
