Monthly Discovery 🔍
🔍 Someone convinced Claude to hack the Government.
🔍 I found this video of where AI is trapped in a simulation and they created a civilization. Quite an interesting video.

Still working on... 🔨
🔨 Creating an MVP idea for my upcoming Full-stack app. I will post a Dev log next week on my progress. Note that this is part of the assignment for my University, so information will be limited.
🔨 Post at least one article each on my learning in Full-Stack. This will be part of my Dev log as mention in the first bulletin point.

Good job! "What else should I do for April": Check out Sebastian Lague and Acerola channels. These are some of my favorite channels on YouTube.
Sounds good! I haven't heard of Acerola but I have heard of Sebastian Lague from this video:
Thank you! I wish you success in your work 👋🏻
Thanks Mia! You too :D
