We’re getting the chance to live in the future
Early 20th Century motivational speaker and author Dale Carnegie once wrote “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.” I believe that Mr. Carnegie’s point was that unless today is the literally the worst day of your life (and my sincere sympathies if it is), then the energy you spent worrying about it yesterday was largely wasted.

Give yourself a promotion using GenAI
I think we’d all agree that getting promoted is desirable. Higher wages, better job title, greater impact, and perhaps more prestige. But it’s not without its problems. Like many engineers, I started out writing code. I was good at it, and customer demand increased for my services. I then started hiring other engineers and promoted … Continue reading Why IoT Hasn’t Already Happened

Humans: Just an Evolutionary Step in Planetary Intelligence
Geoffrey Hinton, one of the so-called ‘Godfathers of AI’, made headlines at the beginning of May after stepping down from his role as a Google AI researcher. A few days later, he delivered a talk at the MIT Technology Review’s EmTech Digital event. When asked about his decision to quit, Hinton mentioned that getting old … Continue reading Why IoT Hasn’t Already Happened
