100% agree. Gets better every listen and in my playlist it sits next to Wicker Woman by Freya Ridings which is a beautiful synchronicity.

I want to commit myself to this going forward. New strategy to swap from my friday afternoon linkedin fightback cycle (see my previous post where i got into it about AGI this week). This suggestion feels more aligned with what im trying to do more generally: build new options for the future

Just realised i have a habit of picking arguments on LinkedIn on Friday afternoons about AI. By the end of the week i think i get fed up & cant resist saying something. Today, Gartner showed AGI on an AI adoption spectrum. But the fine print admits it would require technologies not even built yet!!!

Health Data Governance Framework (Data Governance for Digital Health Ecosystems 1) Good health data governance will be essential for European Health Data Space (EHDS) readiness, to meet regulatory requirements, to enter markets around the globe, and to leverage AI. Effective health ...

We're releasing our health data governance learning course as a series of blog posts every friday. And combining it with open office hours coming up from mid-November. Join us to discuss how to improve your health data governance practices: platformable.com/blog/health-...

I love that my work is mostly writing, and i pride myself somewhat on identifying as a "writer". But writing also physically hurts a lot of the time. It feels like molasses rolling down two sides of a hill and i am waiting for them to connect in the valley between, its excruciating.

May i suggest a new term? I know we have ai slop for the content generated by ai but may i propose AI gunk to refer to the worsening of google workspace, miro, and other globally distributed architecture software that now glitches more often or is slow to work cos of all the ai gunk clogging it up

Looking forward to attending this tomorrow. Keen to hear how i can continue to foster open digital ecosystems through future policy making and action in europe

I’ve wondered why thats not the case for google as well? Like isnt forcing up google workspace prices because of gemini features the same as forcing google search in browsers? I had all my ai switched off and they still forced the price increase on me (im now switching to onlyoffice and twake)

Always worth following up. So many times it has been a case of “oh! This was sitting on someone’s desk/inbox we’ll process it now/next run”. Normalise following up on invoices!

Barcelona airport has a similar animation, although their videos remind people not to bring hand grenades in their carry on

Genius (that whole list is pretty superb, altho id love to see @gregpak.net doing Phoenix here as well!)

We need more strategies that discuss how to build non-AI solutions for competitive advantage. Here’s my contribution: platformable.com/blog/ai-bloc...

This looks like the photographic work of longtime collaborator Masayoshi Sukita who was able to bring out the best in Bowie and also had an eye for how to style him

We did a report on global health data governance for WHO & GISAID wanted to be seen as an example of the power of health data as a digital public good. This reminds me of @ceciliarikap.bsky.social’s work on big tech & the green transition: its free until they own the space & can control data access

You could call it “locktober”. Im sure that will be popular!

Loving digging into this: cartography-of-generative-ai.net

Superb graphics and excellent look at full “value” chain of genAI. Useful for mapping impacts and addressing challenges with genAI adoption

The EU can’t miss the chance to build fairer, stronger, more efficient supply chains.

I do love “cooperative overlap” as a phrase. But there is also a responsibility i try and take on board to be really conscious of when im doing it and to only do it when im building on someone else’s ideas, or it just ends up giving permission to men to talk over women again.

And here we go. I never wrote this article, and yet it is cited here.

And of course, it sounds so plausible, I seriously checked whether I had forgotten it, or the footnote was slightly wrong.

But “competitiveness”.

Sorry read your replies now!

Ive been procrastinating about changing my handle to my own domain, do you recommend i do that first and then switch to atproto? Is that the order you did it in? Im pretty sure i was following you at your domain for your net domain for awhile here

There was an interesting paper about comparing the cost of local models vs the using the big AI labs in hospitals, so you might see people start to take a crack at it:

Its like the work they do in severance where you cluster numbers together and put them in a box based on “vibes”

I immediately close any webpage that doesnt have a simple way to deny all. That one where you have to toggle through a long list of cookie permissions? I no longer read those websites at all. How can there possibly be “67 legitimate vendors” for each type of adtech use case?!

There are lots of us working on it in our own ways. I have been running platformable.com for 5 years and industries incl banking/finance, health, sustainability, supply chain mngt, and agrifood are all interested in how to shift to more open standards, open source, open web… We can still win this!
