As 2023 draws to a close, I reflect on the recurrent patterns that defined a year of innovation. Join me in exploring these insights and how they will shape 2024.

Just like that, the Internet forgot about ChatGPT (for a moment, at least) when a new soap opera aired this week. The entity known as Meta or Facebook or Mr. Zuckerberg launched a new social network called Threads. This is a direct  assault on Twitter, the social network owned by Mr.Musk. Or is it?
