A little recording of my iPhone, when, on a free afternoon, I decide to add a direct connection between the book/site I released yesterday and ChatGPT. With just a handful of clicks, I can not only read the SSWC book, I can discuss it. And so can you. Link in the first comment.

This is a tiny thing, of course. But for someone who’s been in this industry for 35 years, it’s fascinating. Doing anything similar just five years ago would have taken enormous effort and, in practice, would never have happened. The value versus the cost would have made it impossible. But now we’re in an entirely different place. In so many ways.
What a time to be alive.

## Original wording

En liten inspelning av min iPhone när jag, på en ledig eftermiddag, tänker att jag ska lägga till en direktkoppling mellan boken/sajten jag släppte lös igår, och ChatGPT. Med bara ett fåtal klick kan jag inte bara läsa SSWC-boken, jag kan diskutera med den. Och det kan du också. Länk i första kommentaren. 

Det här är, såklart, en bagatell. Men för mig som varit i den här branschen i 35 år är det så fascinerande. Att göra något liknande för bara fem år sedan hade tagit en enorm kraft, och det hade i realiteten aldrig hänt. Värdet vs kostnad hade omöjliggjort det. Men nu är det ett helt annat läge. På så många sätt. 
What a time to be alive.
