Thank you, Lord, for this day. May it be used for your glory!
Good morning and welcome back Friday Inspiration!
It’s so good to be writing again, y’all! I’m so excited.
That being said, I will say, it’s going to take me some time to build back into things. As I took a break from writing, I also took a break of keeping a log of interesting articles, haha!
And even if I had kept a log of articles over the past couple of months, I wouldn’t want to share old articles with y’all anyways. I want to share new and up to date ones!
Not to worry! I still have some today!
So, without further ado, here are two fun articles that jumped onto my feed this week. They are totally random, but still worth a peek!
Which North Carolina city ranks as #1 richest city in America in 2022?
I’ll go ahead and give you the answer to this article’s question…
Cary, NC!
That’s right, Cary, a smaller city right outside of Raleigh was ranked as the #1 richest city in America!
I would have thought it would have been like San Francisco, LA, New York, or somewhere in Texas. Somewhere with all the billionaires and upper high class people.
Buuut…apparently the way they rank it is they take into account the number of people living in poverty, unemployment rates, and income rankings.
I assume that’s why places like New York and San Francisco aren’t even on the top ten.
Cary has the third highest incomes in all of North Carolina and only a 3% unemployment rate…who knew!
Though, I will say from my experience Cary is a nice posh little city with tons of families and family-friendly activities. So all in all it makes sense.
I mainly thought this was a cool article cause I was like, “Cary! I know Cary!”
Anyways, moving on…
Dall-E 2
So this is not actually an article, sorry.
This is the site for one of the coolest new AI systems I’ve ever seen! It’s called the Dall-E 2.
Why is it called the Dall-E 2 you might ask?
I actually don’t know, but it’s still so cool!
Why? What is it?
The Dall-E 2 is a new AI system for generating realistic photos.
The way it generates these photos or artwork is by feeding it some text.
The example they have on their website is: “an astronaut riding a horse” and then the Dall-E 2 spits out like 10 very realistic-looking photos of an astronaut riding a horse on the moon!
Like this one:
It’s not like, “hey Google, show me a picture of a puppy.” This is super advanced AI stuff right here, and I for one can’t wait to try it out!
Alright! So like I said, I really only have 2 articles to share today, but I hope they were fun, informative, or simply a small distraction from the chaos of the world.
Have a great weekend! And thank you all again for the support, I’m very excited to be getting back into the swing of things!
