TechTechAi – one stop all tech news

I started to aggregate tech, Ai, Automation and agentic Ai news in one place. I will publish the most important news in a newsletter format.

I haven’t decided on how often, how big or exactly what categories it will focus on yet. It will by quite reader-led in terms of feedback and guidance for the direction it goes. Jump on board and sign up if this sounds interesting to you: http://techtech.ai

 

Israel, Palestine, history, podcast

Thanks to one of my closest cousins, I recently discovered the MartyrMade podcast by Darryl Cooper, specifically his very first episode Fear and Loathing in The New Jerusalem (part 1), which tells the story of how Israel, the modern nation today, came to be. And the history starts long before the end of WWII.

Due to the present situation in the middle east, it’s worth mentioning that this podcast is deeply political and historical but not politically-motivated. Cooper is extremely well-researched and it’s not one of those “they said this, then they did that” sort of things.

It’s just fascinating history.

Cooper is well spoken and very learned on the subject. I’m already eager to listen to part 2. Thank you Cuz.

(BTW ladies: my cousin is a Christian, homeowner, holds a steady job, and he is currently single. Let me know if you’re interested to meet him and I’ll play matchmaker. He doesn’t know I’m doing this and he’s probably going to kill me.)

 

Show and Tell

Are you smarter than a kindergartner? My son is in Pre-K and has to take a toy to school each week and show it to the class. Each toy must fit into a gallon-sized bag, and before revealing it, he gives three clues to the class to try and guess what it is.

  1. It’s pointy.
  2. It has a handle.
  3. You eat with it.

The immigrant chicken wing theory

I don’t remember where it was – probably Joe Rogan or something – I heard someone talk about how to eat chicken wings. They said “eat your wings like an immigrant,” and it struck me.

You can always spot someone who’s lived long term abroad by how they eat their chicken wings. Not a morsel of meat left on the bones. I don’t know exactly why (I have my theories) but this is true: immigrants eat all the meat off of the chicken wings. Pay attention next time you share some wings with one of your immigrant friends.

And I say this with pride as a former immigrant and thorough eater of wings.
