Just checking in -

How are we feeling about AI initiatives?

Mood

Executives are more replaceable by AI, but they aren't ready for that conversation.

Imagine a Tableau rep speaking at a Microsoft conference and saying, "if it wasnt for us, you'd all be using Excel!"

Getting all of your information from LLM chats or AI summaries is like Temu knowledge.

When you're the first person on the call and don't have time to start anything, so you are forced to confront your finite existence in the universe for 2 minutes:

I had an abdominal surgery 3 days ago, and I am finally starting to feel more like myself today mentally. Looking forward to continued recovery.

I have taken off work occasionally for what I call a "bad endometriosis day", and they would just act...annoyed? Like calling out for a tension headache.

NO. IT IS NOT LIKE A HEADACHE.

I still have nightmares of auth of other tools plus Microsoft on-prem gateway.

New Linus Torvalds insult meme dropped.

I wonder how many social posts from people attempting to grow their accounts started with an AI prompt something like "what is some good ragebait about [topic] that also won't get me canceled".

Not every cool little idea will add value, and that is okay. Not everything needs to be made or monetized.

Snowflake acquired Select Star.

As startups are getting eaten by the big companies that they often parter with (many such cases), they might as well try to get acquired by them instead.
