Attending the Evanta CIO Summit today in Chicago. I had the opportunity to host a roundtable with a leading group of tech execs. We explored next-level business transformation in an era of genAI. 🙌

The news by OpenAI and Google this week, though there were so many announcements this year, we are clearly crossing a threshold that is propelling humanity into an era of profound whitespace. ✨

Like sands through an hourglass, so are the days of AI...

Ilya to leave OpenAI.

In further evidence that with social media, you are the product, Meta is using your 'amazing' Instagram photos to train its 'amazing' AI image generator...

I've known Kyle Vogt since the rise of Justin.TV in the mid 2000s. He was always brilliant, humble, ready to make things happen. To go from these early days to Twitch to Cruise to now this...home-based robotics that give people back time...? Yes please!

Today, OpenAI launched GPT-4o, its ‘omni’ model that also introduces artificial emotional intelligence into verbal or text-based conversations.

Sam Altman's question from 2016 is important in every context, especially, believe it or not, customer service.

This is Microsoft XC Research's VASA-1. It can take a single image, an audio clip, optional control signals such as main eye gaze direction, head distance, and emotion offsets.

Equal parts fascinating, mind-blowing, and scary! 😱

When I was in Sydney, I was able to sneak in time with my friends at espresso Displays to explore the future of work 🔭.

I'm a big fan of the company. This small, but talented team created portable 4k monitors that serve as 2nd or 3rd displays. You'd swear Apple designed them!🙌
