📦 Google's ad evolution, Countdown to Vision Pro, Midjourney's gift
Looks like Google's really nailing the AI game across all its services. Things are getting so automated that certain job roles are shifting. We've heard whispers about Vision Pro dropping in February, but how sure can we be? Well, most developers working with visionOS got the memo from Apple to fine-tune their apps. And for the creative minds out there, Midjourney just dropped Version 6! Bringing even more realistic images and finally diving into text generation. What a cool present, huh? Wishing everyone a super Merry Christmas!
