artificial intelligence may already be plateauing

progress may be more incremental … while resource use continues to boom.

according to a recent story from the information, openai’s next-generation orion model of chatgpt, which is both rumored and denied to be arriving before the end of the year, might not be everything that has been hailed when it does.

according to the report, which quotes unnamed openai staff, the orion model has shown a “far smaller” improvement over its predecessor, gpt-4, than gpt-4 did over gpt-3. according to the same individuals, orion “isn’t reliably better than its predecessor (gpt-4) in handling certain tasks,” particularly coding applications, even though the new model is noticeably better at general language functions like creating emails or summarizing documents.

greg adams: from finance to storytelling | the disruptors

the disruptors
with liz farr

greg adams believes that accountants’ work opportunities have long been underappreciated and misunderstood. when accountants at parties are asked what they do, adams explained that they always have to give the “but answer,” as in, “i’m an accountant, but i have a really cool job.”

adams himself has spent time in australia and barbados and “had lots of adventures” during his time at kpmg.

his new book, green shade$, is an attempt to dispel the notion of accounting as limited to just tax or audit and “to change the branding and image of accountants.” a fan of jack reacher-type thrillers, adams wrote an accounting book that comes with a warning: “it has a little bit of violence in there and some sexual tension and but even has accounting equations.” the protagonist, dex mccord, jumps off a cliff while dodging bullets, but in his quest to solve the murder of an old accounting friend, he is “aided by at least 10 different types of accountants,” experts in transfer pricing to sec filings.

accounting influencers
with rob brown

in a deep dive into private equity’s involvement in accounting, gary shamis, ceo of winding river consulting, describes how investment firms see value in the sector’s steady cash flows and resilient recession history. “it’s not that accounting is recession-proof,” shamis states, “but its inherent stability during economic downturns is highly appealing to investors.” he adds that accounting firms with strong advisory practices that offer scalable revenue opportunities are particularly interesting to private equity.

the conversation takes a sobering turn as shamis highlights the ongoing talent shortage within the profession. with fewer accountants entering the field and a growing demand for regulatory and advisory services, shamis emphasizes that private equity deals won’t solve the critical issue of human capital shortage. “there’s just not enough talent in the pipeline,” he cautions.

one of the central themes of the conversation is the potential for smaller cpa firms to outpace their larger counterparts in innovation and agility. whitman highlights the advantages small firms have, such as their ability to pivot quickly and try new approaches without the bureaucratic hurdles larger organizations face. “speed and being nimble are critical,” whitman asserts. however, he notes that smaller firms must adopt a forward-thinking mindset, emphasizing, “hopefully, smaller firms aren’t biased by always doing it the way you’ve done it in the past.”

bissett bullet: to serve is glorious

today’s bissett bullet: “you have significant worth to those who believe in you. show them why they should.”

by martin bissett

st. nicholas was a rich man who gifted money to those in greater need. he morphed into santa claus and became legend as his story was told over time, because of his incomparable achievements and his altruistic nature of service to others.

now, i’m not suggesting for a moment that you start giving money away. simply bear in mind that a disposition to serve trumps a desire to sell in terms of how attractive your proposition is to potential clients.

today’s to-do:

think about how you treat your clients. as cash cows, or as those for whom you make dreams come true and your fees come as a result? if you can honestly say the latter, they will believe in your worth.
