Hi friends, welcome back to Cloudbites. Today, I’ll be revealing the the top AI skill which will accelerate your cloud learning journey. I’ll also be diving into the latest updates from Tesla on their AI-powered robots.

💡 The #1 AI skill to 10x your Productivity

If you want to use AI more effectively, there’s one important skill you need to learn - Prompt Engineering.

Prompt Engineering is the process of creating better prompts to encourage more high-quality responses from AI.

To demonstrate its importance, take a look at the difference in these two examples where I prompted ChatGPT to help me learn cloud computing.

Version 1:

Version 2:

By developing specific and detailed prompts, ChatGPT can more effectively help you reach your learning goals.

A Step-by-Step Process to Create Better Prompts

Here’s how you can start improving your own prompts:

1. Identify the task you want ChatGPT to perform
   
   Clearly state what you want ChatGPT to assist you with and the type of response you expect.
   
   Example: Create a learning plan with specific resources for a student looking to learn cloud. 
   
   

2. Add Context to Gain More Accurate Output

   
   Consider any further details that could help ChatGPT create a more tailored response.
   
   This could include more details about your existing knowledge, your learning goals, and any industry-specific terms that can guide ChatGPT in the right direction.
   
   Example: I’m a beginner in IT. with a basic understanding of computer networks and I'm interested in learning cloud computing. 
   
   Could you suggest a structured learning path for cloud computing, focusing on skills required for a career in this field?
   
   I'm particularly interested in learning about AWS and Azure.
   
   

3. Test, Assess and Iterate
   
   Once you’ve created your prompt and added the context, the next step is to test it out. If the prompt doesn’t help you achieve your goals, iterate on it, and try again.
   
   While ChatGPT may suggest using learning courses, you may want specific recommendations. In this case, try modifying your prompt to include this request.
   
   Example: I'm a beginner in IT with a basic understanding of computer networks and I'm interested in learning cloud computing. 
   
   Could you suggest a structured learning path for cloud computing, focusing on skills required for a career in this field?
   
   I'm particularly interested in learning about AWS and Azure. 
   
   Also, are there any specific certifications or online courses you would recommend for beginners?

🤖 [PLUS] The Age of the Robots is Here

Tesla recently revealed Optimus Gen 2 - an advanced humanoid robot designed to automate mundane and repetitive tasks. It mimics human form and function, using a trained neural network to perform basic tasks.

There were a number of key updates, including:

• A 30% increase in walking speed

• 10kg body weight reduction

• Tactile sensing on fingers allowing it to handle delicate objects, like eggs

These improvements mark a big step forward in the future of AI and robotics, potentially setting new standards for humanoid robots in industry.

Check out this video to see Optimus Gen 2 in action.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading! 😊
