Go beyond the sales pitch

This is not going to be too technical. Hopefully. I’m already seeing a lot of posts and news articles about OpenAI releasing ChatGPT-4o. All very frothy. I get suspicious when articles start quoting what it could do in the future as much as what it can do now. If

Leadership by example
