Shifting budgets from advertising to innovation

Jeffrey Phillips

OK, I don't have a self-driving car and already I'm sick of hearing about them and their potential. Just like I don't have a virtual reality headset made out of cardboard and an iPhone, but I'm tired of hearing about virtual reality. The reason I'm tired about hearing about VR and autonomous vehicles is that they are overhyped technologies that don't yet solve important problems.

Here’s What May Sound Like a Crazy Idea

Boxes and Arrows

Build a command line option into your next user interface. Some of you techies may be reading this and thinking, “Yes! I live in a command window all the time on my computer.” Well, I’m not really thinking about you as my target audience.

Speaker: Aarushi Kansal, AI Leader & Author and Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO at Aggregage

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

Michael Roberto

Mollie West and Kate McCoubrey Judson have published a wonderful blog post for the Huffington Post about how to strengthen organizational culture. They focus on the importance of establishing rituals that bring the organization's mission, purpose, and values to life. I've always believed in the value of such rituals. At universities, such rituals include ceremonies such as convocation and commencement, as well as alumni reunions, honor society inductions, and new student orientations.
