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.

#ChatGPT just turned 1,000 days old. Still just typing “write me a…”? Run it local w/ Ollama? Build your own GPT? Try Education mode? Use Canvas? Give it a persona? Make it think longer? If not—you’re still on day one. Tech years = dog years!

Wrapped up QuantumSafe course. Steal now crack later is a big thing, think Y2K with real consequences. One country holds more quantum-related patents than Japan, the EU, US, South Korea, Taiwan, UK, Canada, Switzerland, & Russia combined with 3-4x higher investment vs. US or UK.

“Available at fine stores everywhere” might today be more like: “Now downloadable wherever apps are aggressively pushed.” But to let you know, this book is now available on both fine and not-so-fine platforms—easily findable on Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, Ascent Audio, and more.

I keep saying the current era of #AI is agentic. This learning plan gets you where you need to be & I've arranged for you to get it for free: cognitiveclass.ai/learn/agentic-… Thanks @katsnelson & team for putting this together in like 3 days of my suggesting what the world needs.

Watched #Netflix The Eternaut? You saw their 1st show with some final footage that was 100% genAI built. Here's the tough love: don’t be naive. Get your AI game together. Learn how to put these tools to work bc some jobs will go away, others will come new, but all will change.

Finding next level productivity. From 3 monitors to an ultra wide 57" & learned a lot about what it takes to drive monitors, interfaces (HDMI/DisplayPort), version levels AND cables (cables !!). For a webcam (iContact) has a retractable arm (!) that's surprisingly unobtrusive.

First they came for our clicks… and now they want our bandwidth. Q125, OpenAI/Meta/Perplexity made up 70% of AI scrapes. Wikipedia says 65% of its traffic is from bots! Google’s AI Overviews slashed search clicks by ~35%. Learn more at: ibm.com/think/news/clo…

#AI ‘s SLM. Usefulness doesn’t have to be solely measured in # of params. SLMs can be faster, cheaper & more performant: usefulness doesn’t have to be solely measured in billions of parameters. P.S. if you were born in early 70s …. your first buzz was likely with one of these.

Progress over perfection. Small wins daily create momentum that’s anything but ordinary. Markets will fluctuate—stocks rise and fall. But at @IBM, we’ve been standing with giants, and earning our seat.

Future of work looks like what with #AI agents? I say: DIFFERENT. I liked this @Stanford paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2506.06576. Takeaway? Soft skills meet tech. Below: LEFT is pay & RIGHT is human involvement. 🟩 Green = high human involvement 🟥 Red = high pay, low human involvement

I see so many people quoting stats these days. On every side. Just remember this ... (if you get it, you get it) Luckily, I’m ambidextrous when it comes to mistakes. 🙃

Tougher and tougher job market out there ... you have to be THIKNING about things that make you STAND OUT. This post is for programmers... but if you're doing a Business degree, you had better ensure you're getting more than business skills. The 101: Learn #RUST.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads out there & extra love to those holding their dads in memory. I’m lucky, still have mine & I don’t take that lightly (even when his lessons come a side of “back in my day”). Here’s to the heroes who showed up, stood tall & knew what to do
