Today I learnt that blond people have 50% more hairs on their heads than darker haired individuals. 🤨 150k vs 100k.

What is going on with the glass UI, #Apple? It could have been so great…

Am I the only person who didn’t notice ChatGPT was down yesterday? 🌝 Despite being an avid user.. 😃

Have to say I love 🍎 Apple’s ‘Hide My Email’ feature - don’t want to hear from a spammy company any more? Just delete the email address. 👏

Bittersweet rehoming our cat’s kittens. Today Echo was adopted which leaves only 2.

Still texting chatbots? How very 2022 of you. Chat UIs are great for showing off what #LLMs can do, but they’re the training wheels of AI interaction. The best #AI experiences being built today are frictionless, contextual, and UI agnostic: the AI is invisible by design.

Unpopular opinion: throwing more compute, more data, and more money at #LLM’s will not transform them into #AGI. Even the most simple cake has multiple ingredients, and intelligence isn’t ‘simple’. 🎂

Just because #LLM’s only simulate intelligence rather than embody it, doesn’t mean they aren’t useful tools. The #AI mistake I see being made most often is assuming AI has intelligence like a human, and can truly understand you and your request. This is why people get burnt implementing AI projects.

PSA - there is no ‘intelligence’ behind generative #AI despite the name. It’s not awake, aware, or conscious, and the lights are off when the model isn’t actively processing your request. It is simply an advanced machine. 🤖🧠

After a gentle ‘prompt’ from a friend I’ve started writing a blog summarising what I’ve learned about #AI over the last 3 years. 👀 Watch this space.

Every organisation is on a different #AI journey. Some have gone AI First and others are more AI Skeptic. Most are somewhere in the middle but there’s a new viewpoint emerging: AI Everywhere — the idea that people shouldn’t do tasks when it’s possible to automate them. Are they jumping the gun? 🤔

Loving the pace of innovation in the #AI space right now. Google has made a developer-friendly choice in designing its #A2A (Agent to Agent) protocol on top of existing open standards like JSON-RPC and SSE rather than rolling their own proprietary flavours as big firms often do!

Today I learned that all living things give off light! Biophotons. 😮 apple.news/AXfAyrDr0QxS...

You wouldn’t think we live in a developed country with fibre this slow. 🤪

Excellent progress on European energy independence. 🙌⚡️

I’m so glad that the biggest trade deal in #UK history will add 0.1% to GDP. Now where’s the rest of the 4% hit we took from leaving the #EU? Nigel? Where are you? Nigel….? 🫠

It turns out that tearing the country apart (Brexit) and then tearing your party apart is not a great survival strategy. 😂

My GP: asking me why I didn’t come in sooner after trying to get an appointment for 3 weeks… Me:

One of the most common cognitive fallacies I hear these days is “every industry will be automated away by #AI, oh except mine of course…”

How to know a bank holiday is coming… a dramatic worsening of the weather. 😂

It seems the far right is getting its claws into the UK as well. It’s a sad fact that people are so disillusioned with the status quo they’ll vote for extremists who only look out for themselves. People are desperate for a change and don’t know what else to do.

#Cat not happy that she’s been spayed. Absolute destruction! 😳😾

#Leadership

So apparently the entirety of #Spain and #Portugal are without #electricity! Internet, traffic lights, water supply all affected. What could possibly cause such widespread issues except for a cyber attack?! #blackout

How long will we have to wait for a phone that doesn’t die after a few minutes of use? 😬 Batteries must have come on a lot over the years but are still holding us back!

It’s pretty concerning how well #ReformUK are doing in the #UK right now. Given half a chance, the extreme right will strip away our rights and freedoms. Do not be fooled.

Given Musk’s continued manipulation of #UK local elections, why are we not banning #X outright?

Why is #ChatGPT so sycophantic nowadays? 🤨

MCP is an exciting development in generative #AI - in the future all software will come with an MCP adapter out of the box and will plug straight into your #LLM of choice. The possibilities this opens up for models to have access to real-time data and real-world actions are tremendous.

State of #American #democracy right about now… #USA

#x is so toxic. Best thing we can all do is delete our accounts and not use it. Do not give it or him any oxygen. Kill it with irrelevance.

Almost every client I’ve worked with over the last couple of years has been interested in exploring how #AI can help them now, but very few truly realise how different the world of work will look in 10 years time.

Ooh #bluecheckmarks are back in vogue.

Time for #parkrun! 🏃‍♂️⏱️ 🌳
