Tech Homecoming: Celebrating Our Journey at Black Men in Tech & AfroTech

Hey Hustlers! 👋🏾🚀

We're back, and we're bringing the heat! 🔥 Missed us? We sure missed vibing with y'all. It's been a minute, but we're here to reignite that tech spark—Hashtag TechHustle style! 🎉

Yoooo fam! It's BobbyD, and let me tell you, hitting up Black Men in Tech in Fort Lauderdale and AfroTech in Austin was like a family reunion—but with more code, less potato salad. 😂

From fireside chats to coding bootcamps, every moment was a reminder of how powerful we are together. Standing in rooms filled with Black excellence, I felt that familiar buzz—the pulse of innovation, the shared nods when someone dropped a truth bomb about the tech landscape. 💣💥

I left with my mind expanded and my network doubled. And guess what? Next year, we're rolling deep as a crew. Get ready to join TheTechHustle Tour to these conferences—details dropping soon! 🚌💨

Ray here—no RayRay, remember? 😏 This month, AI was the heartbeat of our conversations at both conferences. It's the brush painting our future with broad, bold strokes. We're talking about AI that not only thinks but also sees, learns, and collaborates with us to solve some of our toughest puzzles. At Black Men in Tech, we delved into the ethics of AI, its implications on equity and job markets. AfroTech wasn't far behind, with panels discussing AI's role in cultural preservation and storytelling. It's a field bustling with potential, and we're just scratching the surface. 🤖✨

Hey, it's D’Hustle here, bringing the latest hot stuff from the tech world! 🌶️ Let's talk about OpenAI Dev Day, where some groundbreaking announcements were made. We've got new tools like the Assistants API, which comes with cool features like Code Interpreter, Retrieval, and Function calling - all designed to make our lives easier and our code smarter. 🛠️💡

GPT-4 Turbo now brings vision to the table, letting you use images as inputs. Think about the possibilities! And for those who weave words into speech, the new text-to-speech API is here to bring your characters to life. 🗣️📚

There's even a program for fine-tuning GPT-4, taking AI customization to the next level. Plus, lower prices across the board mean more innovation for less moolah. That's what we call democratizing technology! 💸🔓

So, if you've got a project that could use a sprinkle of AI magic, or you're looking to partner up with us, reach out! We're here to build the future together, one line of code at a time. 🚀
