I’m guessing 90+% of former SEO experts are now experts in AI

Every company that find success has two options in how to grow: Organization or Chaos

If you get organized, you’ll be better able to spot unexpected opportunities (e.g. AWS)

But organization comes with corporate bloat, which inevitably leads to decline

The DOJ secured an indictment against one of Jack Smith's deputies for emailing herself the report, ordered sealed by a judge, to her personal email.

She titled the docs she sent herself “Chocolate_ Cake_Recipe” and “Bundt_Cake_Recipe”.

Talk about a recipe for disaster!!

Good read from @mikeddano, and here’s the money shot for Wi-Fi folks

90% of Comcast’s cellular traffic goes over Wi-Fi, and I bet that # is similar everywhere

Reality is, Wi-Fi is the civilized world’s gateway to communication and cellular exists to fill in gaps

[Mike Dano @mikeddano]

"Wireless is 'our number one priority as we push forward,' says Steve Croney, the new CEO of Comcast's Connectivity & Platforms unit."

I know less than nothing about Allbirds IT, but it sure looks to me like the company is going to survive because they stayed on-prem

Had they gone cloud — like so many companies have done and are doing — they would have no AI GPUs to sell as a service

[Negligible Capital @negligible_cap]

*ALLBIRDS ANNOUNCES EXPANSION INTO AI COMPUTE INFRASTRUCTURE

$BIRD (Allbirds) is changing their name to NewBird AI and is announced their expansion into AI Compute Infrastructure.

The failed shoe business, which recently sold the Allbird’s brand and footwear assets to American Exchange Group will now pivot to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS)

What the fuck?

[Ben Miller @benmiller]

This is a remarkable Wi-Fi adjacent story

Globalstar owns “channel 14” of the 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum. It’s licensed for satellite phones

~15 years ago cellular was killing satellite phones, and Globalstar was close to done

They hung around, and now they got $11.6 billion

[Panos Panay @panos_panay]

@amazon is acquiring @Globalstar to integrate their low Earth orbit satellites into our constellation. This combination will rapidly accelerate our plans to add direct-to-device capabilities into our satellite network to support calling, texting, data, and more.

Trump could solve a lot of problems with the job market if LinkedIn blocked people from applying unless their profile shows Open To Work

@TMFAssociates @LionnetPierre If Loon couldn't do it, it is literally impossible

[Ben Miller @benmiller]

As a person who as seen AI-powered "remediation actions" in Wi-Fi for many years, I suspect this press release is mostly BS

Wi-Fi really is all about the config

[Ben Miller @benmiller]

UWRB appears to be Cisco’s attempt to fill the vacuum created by the tepid adoption of private 5G

It also reveals an uncomfortable truth: The vast majority of enterprise Wi-Fi stinks

UWRB implies stinky Wi-Fi is a tech limitation. I suspect it’s more about setup-config-support

Great way to start Cisco Live week! #CiscoLiveEMEA

Surprising development, but… Sampath was never any good. Makes me think Verizon finally might be righting the ship

[Mike Dano @mikeddano]

Verizon CEO Dan Schulman replaces Sowmyanarayan Sampath (who was expected to eventually replace Schulman as CEO of Verizon) with Alfonso Villanueva. Villanueva was a member of Schulman’s leadership team at PayPal during Schulman's tenure as CEO there.

Honestly the owners of Zendesk should be arrested and prosecuted for how bad their AI chatbots are and how deceptive this ad is

https://t.co/0JOVIkgApr

[Zendesk @Zendesk]

.@nobull turned Zendesk AI into a revenue engine.

By resolving nearly 50% of chat inquiries and 30% of total contacts, Zendesk AI freed agents to focus on high-value conversations that drive sales — all while keeping CSAT near best-in-class levels.

I would like to see the Supreme Court to rule against Cox, and to go even further on ISP liability

If a scammer, spammer or pirate doesn’t get their Internet and/or mobile phone service canceled, the ISP should be liable for all hardship costs

Stop letting ISPs profit off scams

[Ben Miller @benmiller]

If they actually do this, Silicon Valley (and IT at most big organizations) is going to look drastically different

That said, I’ll believe it when I see it. Rich guys love cheap labor. Been that way for many thousands of years

[U.S. Department of Labor @USDOL]

AMERICANS FIRST.

Alongside our partners at the @USEEOC, we’re laser-focused on protecting American Workers and ending the illegal prioritization of foreign labor.
