Great event at @dynatrace.com in Lisbon. Learning about the latest Dynatrace features and capabilities and what they can do to address organisational resilience, tool sprawl, and overspend. #Dynatrace #Deloitte #PowerUp2025

Earlier this month I spoke at AICON Belfast and explored a topic I know many of us grapple with: why a significant number of AI projects don't achieve their full potential 📉

If you weren't able to make it, you can watch the full talk here: bit.ly/4qqFYPO

#Deloitte #AI #FailFast

Fantastic to speak at October's AICON conference where I explored a critical question: Why do the most promising AI ideas often fail to reach the ‘last mile’ 💡

OpenAI launches two 'open' AI reasoning models | TechCrunch For the first time in more than five years, OpenAI is launching a new open language model that appears to be state of the art.

This is a big deal... OpenAI has (partially) returned to its Open source roots by releasing two new "open-weight" models - spurred, no doubt, by the success of DeepSeek.

Brilliant day at Belfast PRIDE with the #Deloitte #PROUD network and allies. We still have a long way to go, and have had some backwards steps recently. But seeing the amount of people and supporters today, #equality for ALL is achievable. Happy PRIDE everyone

@kellifb.bsky.social I bought my third book from xigxag, and am loving the experience. Love your company's ethics (treating everyone with respect) and being free from subscriptions, and to be supporting a smallco. It took some searching to find out about your company, but I am glad I persisted.

Just watched this. How Amazing is Michael Sheen? Today, this is the type of news we need to see more of. What a truly inspiring person he is #millionpoundgiveaway

@politico.com - would be good if you added a link to the "follow us on" section on your website for Bluesky :)

BREAKING NEWS: CDC orders mass retraction and revision of submitted research across all science and medicine journals. Banned terms must be scrubbed. Any unpublished manuscript mentioning certain topics, including gender and "LGBT," must be pulled or revised.

We are in a dystopian era. The CDC has been instructed to pull any inflight research that contains terms like Gender, Pregnant, and LGBT. Effectively banning CDC research, because most scientific papers use Table 1 to list demographics.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

You, my friend, are a genius. Brilliant work!

Who made this? Concur with another Blueski on here - very Metropolis...

What a wonderful, wonderful person. For twenty years Matthew didn't have a permanent burial place because they feared his grave would be vandalised. How people cannot see just how unequivocally inspirational she is is beyond me - and a sign of the level of animosity in society today #realchristian

No, not really. I just explained how well encrypted and secure it was - it also supports user names now. My mother and a few others, of course, needed me there to help them 😁, but you can also send links for them to get the app too.

They kind of feel they are in a secret club now, which helped!

Signal :). Myself and my family, friends, and many work colleagues use that now...

BMW has announced it's leaving X/Twitter. This historic event marks the first time a BMW has signaled before lane departure.

That is hilarious... I belly-laughed. Well done 😁

Elon Musk says all human data for AI training ‘exhausted’ Tech boss suggests move to self-learning synthetic data though some warn this could cause ‘model collapse’

Elon Musk, in a departure from politics, suggests AI models have exhausted human data and should be trained on AI synthetic data.

For those who are over reliant on AI models trained on AI output - are we converging on the mediocre and stymying innovation?
