Starting our week, we have Sam Altman ranting against the growth at all costs pattern in startups. His take is that finding the right type of growth is more important, mostly with product-market fit. On KD Nuggets we get a discussion on the differences between machine intelligence, machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence. Lastly, Amazon AWS announces new CloudWatch Events, where you can track and respond to changes to your AWS resources.

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
