Well done on this great first year. I only discovered your publication relatively recently, so I have plenty of catching up to do with the back catalogue!

> I'm building a writing system that doesn't involve me editing a piece into the wee hours of the night before it's due.

I would pay money for this.

But seriously, congrats on all you've accomplished in Year 1. Any tips for getting featured in Wired and/or landing speaking engagements?

I'll share my notes as I develop them, Charlie. Thanks so much. In terms of speaking gigs, it was just a case of being at the right place at the right time. In some cases, I just asked :)

We are your cheering squad. But you brought the material. Anyone who can describe AI and ML via Harry Potter and their own sci-fi stories deserves all the attention he is getting. It is hard enough to learn these concepts. You make it engaging and exciting. Bravo! Looking forward to 2024 content.

Thanks for the constant encouragement, Karena! It's been a whirlwind year and I'm not sure I'd have continued without my cheering squad :)

I reflect that back to you and more, Cameron. It's been such a pleasure to read your work and connect with you this year. I'm hoping we can do more of that in 2024 too! Wishing you and yours happy holidays!
