💎🧠 CES Gems & ChatGPT's IQ Blast: The Future's Bright and Brainy! 💡✨

Hey there, Explorers!

While everyone was gearing up for NFL football playoffs last week, we enjoyed everything coming out of CES, which is technically the equivalent of the Super Bowl for tech nerds like us. 🤓 And it didn’t disappoint! In today’s Dispatch, we dig into some of the new products we love.

We’re also starting to hear a lot about Chat GPT-5 coming soon and just how smart it will be… To put things in perspective, GPT-4 had an IQ of 155, which is higher than 99.9% of people. Apparently, GPT-5 is going to blow that out of the water! Are we getting closer to AGI? 🤯

What an incredible way to kick off the year! Here’s what’s going on…

⚡️ A LOOK AT CES | New & Cool Tech

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the ultimate playground for new, shiny, high-tech toys and trends. Think of it as a crystal ball into tomorrow, where flying cars, robots that could be your best friends, and TVs as thin as a credit card are just the appetizers. From the latest in virtual reality to smart homes that know you better than your mom, CES is where the world's tech wizards come to show off their magic tricks. It's a place where you can rub shoulders with robots, get lost in a sea of screens, and find out that the future is not just coming – it's already here, sipping coffee in a smart mug!
