Yes, ladies and gentleman.... talking data 1/2 way around the world and I still find a subtle way to bash the @NHL Ottawa Senators ... (no Leafs jokes either, so don't even...)

11 of 22 books I wrote found their way into Anthropic's LLM... which means these works are presumably within Claude Sonnet or Opus. Being asked to sign a settlement offer. It's not like I wrote "50 Shades for Big Data" (surely a best seller), but curious what the offer is...

Deep inside a development lab… somewhere, Paul realizes how UX people get creative. If you’ve upgraded to Apple’s latest iOS (or MacOS), you get this is a good and bad thing. I’d rather more quality than aesthetics or needlessly breaking workflows that… ironically used to work.

Woke up with a 102° fever. Breakfast was DayQuil on Greek yogurt (as awful as it sounds). Still went and gave my AI talk. Feedback says I somehow pulled it off. Try it. Trust me.

Vancouver! Coming your way next week. Let’s talk about getting your data into fighting shape so it actually gives you an edge in #AI. If your slapping an LLM on RAG & calling it a day, you’re bleeding Data Fidelity & odds are, you don’t even know it. 👉 https://t.co/6L18gs8P3o

I don’t think you’re ever gonna see either of these two on eBay, but in case they become available & you’re trying to find space at the home & putting aside that inside these machines is an area that’s too cold (−273 °C or −460 °F), this is @IBM #Quantum System 1 and 2.

How money works: 1. OpenAI signs $300B GPU deal with Oracle 2. Larry gains $100B (no GPUs shipped) 3. Larry invests in OpenAI’s $1T round 4. Sam uses $300B to pay Oracle 5. Oracle stock pumps again 6. Larry makes another $100B 7. Larry invests in OpenAI Flywheel go brrr.

I’ve brought together a crew of sharp young minds—my intern group, alongside young IBMers I’ve hired who are now stepping in to help lead. It’s a privilege to guide them as they build their skills, shape their futures & get ready to change the world. Welcome!!

Good $ jobs that #AI will disrupt: Translators, Tech Writers, Content Creators, Copywriters, Cust. Service. Legal Assistants, Mid-tier HR. These jobs aren’t gone. But AI fluency is as vital as your paycheck. More in our book (think +AI ➝ AI+). Free copy: https://t.co/Ur9i0ZSjWX

If you’re still just prompting “write me a letter”… you’re missing ChatGPT super powers. Since I can’t stop you, here’s a ChatGPT tip: use the Feynman Technique 👇 Pick a concept → ELI12 → find gaps → simplify + connect. Ex: Feynman Technique (velocity)

Hanging out at @IBM #London working on #AI with the team. Down the hall? A Quantum Computer. #QuantumComputing runs at the sub-atomic layer—unlocking things even supercomputers can’t (like fully modeling caffeine). No, you won’t have one at home. It’s colder than space.

The Magnificent 7 (group of tech co.'s who've driven a significant portion of US stock market growth), SPENT $100 BILLION IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS on building/constructing data centers. Many are also investing in nuclear since the AI craze in writing energy checks we can't cash.
