  • Credits, Credentials, and Certificates

    One of the consistent conversations this year has been aronud the value of “AI certifications.” Let’s be straight, we aren’t fans of certifications for most of these efforts. There is largely no insurance-type or union-type organization behind many of these, nor the history which backs the reputation a traditional certification would infer. And yet, they are here, so how do we navigate certifications? Should they be given credit for something/anything? Or, are the credentials something yet to be built, and the certification points to the building blocks of a reputation which can be built? Continue reading →

    Seems like there’s a lot of Execurive change happening. Between folks leaving, companies merging, and the occasional fear-mongering, it seems there’s a lot of coal being put next to gift-wrap so far. Hopefully, this only means a sense of responsibility, not a judgement of what’s yet to come. Continue reading →

    Leftovers… this is all about sharing these later than usual because it’s like leftovers (lol). How else was I going to tie this into the 🦃 weekend’s theme 😆? Also published: Replacing Wipers and Wearable Tech Characteristics Continue reading →

  • Replacing Wipers and Wearable Tech Characteristics

    Had this moment earlier today when I was replacing auto wiper blades and had the “would it be cool if my glasses could point to me the steps and the {hidden} button to get these off and the new ones on there?” The replacement blades had a QR code on there, obviously pointing to the reality of one carrying a camera-equipped, internet-connected mobile. But, isn’t this where connected glasses are supposed to be a better use case? Continue reading →

    Coming up on the holiday season and there’s one part a rumble in the air, and another part a bit of trepidation. It seems as if the sure thing is being less sure for several folks. And whatever remains, just might be the fuel for an adjustment of a permanent kind. Continue reading →

    Grateful for Muse’s Adam Wulf being available, otherwise this might have been a delayed post. Makes one wonder what happens when the humans in the loop are no longer in the loop? Do we redefine customer service (again) such as that swing from county stores to department stores? Or, does “service” become something even more meaningful and valued? Does service become the economy, versus just the description of it. Also: we got an award this week 🏆 Continue reading →

  • Avanceé Reads for 7 Nov 25 🔗

    Jumping back into the Brilliant Labs Frame 👓 for a development context [we’ve] been on/off playing with (an adaptive sales assistant). Something am finding interesting is how its really gone from “build an app” to “build a web app” to “build a script to deploy via Noa” to now something more like “build a more expansive system, prompt.” Am half under the assumption that I’m firmly moving in the direction of what Halo/Noa+ proposes for connected glasses… and that isn’t bad.

    Back into spooky season and so may folks are alarmed with the news of who and what has taken over opportunities. Or, maybe like the albino Iberian Lynx which has recently showed, there’s just a warning shot across several planes worth paying attention towards. Also published: Who Owns the AI in Your Org?

  • Who Should Own the AI in Your Org

    Am just getting out of a excellent networking chat and was presented with probably the most fun question to date about artificial intelligence (AI) in orgs: who should own the AI in the org? It is such a marvelous question because there such nuance to the answer. Many people see an entire service like Perplexity or ChatGPT and think that’s what meant. Others see the data which trains models as the same as the systems (agents, workflows, etc) built on top of them as the answer. Continue reading →
