OpenAI Announces Sora, Sam Altman Seeks $5-7T From UAE Investors
February 21st, 2024
Future of VR is now Future of Disruptive Tech! After talking to a few of our readers and running a poll, it’s clear to us that a lot of our readers are into all forms of disruptive tech (not just virtual reality).

We’ve had an EXPLOSIVE week in AI and probably the biggest week in two years for crypto. Here are some of the biggest updates:
Today’s Menu
Apple Vision Pro Mind Control?
OpenAI Updates
Michael Saylor’s $10B BTC Portfolio
TODAY IN VR
Apple Vision Pro Mind Control
Mark Zuckerberg recently revealed that Meta is working on a mind control device.
This device lets you talk with AI strictly through thinking.
No hand movements or button-clicking.
Zuckerberg is confident that its products (whether its the Vision Pro or one of their AR glasses) is just a few years away from being able to read minds through eye movements and allow users to converse with AI through it.
Scary stuff…
On a different note - Zuck recently made an appearance at saturday’s UFC fight. Seems like he’s a completely different guy than just a few short years ago. I’m personally a big fan of Zuck 2.0.

OpenAI Updates
OpenAI has basically had a decade worth of updates in the past week alone. Too many to explain in one email.
The biggest one being their launch of Sora for short form video. We intend to test out Sora once it’s publicly available.
In addition to this…
Sam Altman is seeking $5-7T from UAE investors.
Oh we forgot to mention…
Andrej Karpathy, one of the OpenAI Co-Founders and also former head of AI at Tesla, also bounced out recently.
If you’re new to the AI space, you may not be familiar with Karpathy, but we can assure you he’s a bit of a legend.
TODAY IN CRYPTO
BTC Crosses $50K, ETH Crosses $3K
It’s been nearly 2 YEARS since we’ve seen the current prices we’re seeing on BTC and ETH.
I believe April 2022 was the last time that ETH was in the $3K range.
A lot of people speculate that the current increase is due to:
A) The recent BTC ETF approval in January
B) Whales accumulating
Even way, we’re happy to see the bull market is back (finally!)
So who is making a killing on this?
One of the first people to come to mind is Michael Saylor, whose company, Microstrategy, now owns 190,000 BTC (worth $10B).
