Before we dive in, we're on the hunt for more thought-provoking speakers to speak at our local, virtual, and larger events. 

This is an opportunity to share your insights, experiences, and strategies with a vibrant community of your peers.

In addition, it is no secret that the MicroConf community is mostly men. We're specifically looking for talks from diverse and underrepresented founders that offer fresh perspectives, provide actionable takeaways, and/or talk about a key lesson learned.

You’d be hard-pressed to find any founder in the tech industry who hasn’t heard about ChatGPT. However, like any complex artificial intelligence (AI) system, when it goes wrong, it can result in unexpected responses that are a reminder of its limitations.
However, the unpredictable nature of ChatGPT’s errors is both fascinating and a cautionary tale for founders, from the relatively harmless, nightmare-inducing AI-generated images from tools like DALL-E and Midjourney to concerning data leakage mistakes and potentially lethal consequences with healthcare AI mistakes. 

Learn about some of the biggest AI nightmares to date, what it reveals about the current state of AI technology, and key things you should consider when incorporating AI into your startup.
Here's what we're covering this week:

How do I find a great SaaS idea?

This is a question we get asked all the time.

So, we launched a video series on the MicroConf Youtube channel where we’re sharing new 5-7 ideas every few weeks.

The best part - all of the ideas we share are things that people are actually looking for based on a real problem they have. However, no thorough idea validation has been done. So, if you decide to run with one of these ideas, we recommend validating it fully before you start coding anything.

Here's what we're covering this week:

• AI Nightmares 

• Armageddon Beers

• Talent Retention
