Good tables translating AI-tech-speak to business outcomes. www.oreilly.com/radar/ai-ess...

This is a really good overview AI middleware, all the stuff you need to surround model access to. As you see, it is A LOT. And still, it doesn't include the runtime and operations stuff - day two. moorinsightsstrategy.com/are-ai-devel...

If you've let your data lakes turn into data swamps your AI projects are going to go poorly. www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/...

My first law of enterprise AI: if you end up having two robots talk with each other to complete a task, that task was bullshit in the first place, and you should probably eliminate it rather than automate it.

The AIs love using "dive" as in "let's dive right in." Maybe in our future quest to show authentic, human communication, we'll have to stop using "dive" to. Let's start the discussion and dive right on.

Tech never dies. Helpful consequence: take care of it before it takes care of you. www.ciodive.com/spons/top-ed...

”The big issue, whether it’s generative or analytical AI, has always been how to we get to production deployments. It’s easy to do a proof of concept, a pilot or a little experiment…” siliconangle.com/2025/02/21/g...

Garbage in, garbage out: "GenAI can't deliver real business value if a foundation is broken. Too many B2B organizations are trying to layer genAI on top of scattered, siloed, and outdated technologies, data, and processes." www.forrester.com/blogs/genai-...

”Before this A.I. boom, start-ups generally burned $1 million to get to $1 million in revenue… Now getting to $1 million in revenue costs one-fifth as much and could eventually drop to one-tenth, according to an analysis of 200 start-ups conducted by Afore.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/20/t...

One estimate: in the US, “spending by the top 10% alone accounted for almost one-third of gross domestic product." // Never mind the, like, morals?...doesn't seem very anti-fragile. archive.ph/yjZCZ

Back-up the truck and dump the enterprise enterprise marketing slop. Yes, and, this is an example of my "bad things are bad" principle. If the slop you get is bad, it will be bad. But it can also be good, in which case, it will be good. blogs.idc.com/2025/02/24/t...

If we've learned anything it's that lawyers should NOT use the robot. We learned that awhile ago. www.theregister.com/2025/02/25/f...

”Nearly half (47%) report a large benefit from adopting GenAI for evaluation and reporting in their campaigns.” // 77% of surveys marketing people say they're using generative AI for marketing stuff. www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/...

This week, @brandonwhichard.com, @cote.io and @mattray.bsky.social discuss how banks beat PayPal with Zelle, what the Wiz survey says about AI usage, and whether you can really “disagree and commit.” Plus, are multitools actually useful? https://www.softwaredefinedtalk.com/507
