@bentossell Companies want their brand, their style, their tone… it’s like a barrel of worms trying to get that with AI

Three buses, one with broken air conditioning (doors open on a live apron?!) and no movement.

[James Bromley @jamesbromley]

@British_Airways deplaned and now sat on buses for 25min as no one is able to greet us into a waiting area. You’ve known this is going to happen for 2 hours…

[James Bromley @jamesbromley]

@British_Airways ba2660 you’ve decided to return our plane, after take off, as it’s cheaper for you to address the engineering issue (air con, an issue we took off with knowledge of) at Gatwick rather than Faro. Can we have an update, poor captain without any helpful information.

@virginmedia DM me to know where your team left this reel of fibre optic cable !! Has to be worth a deal?

[James Bromley @jamesbromley]

I’m sure the @BBCiPlayer Glastonbury user interface made sense to someone…. Suspect Glastonbury 2022 highlight reel will be larger than the actual 2024 live. Someone got this so wrong.

Similar view, recommend this to every startup I’ve supported, and a few corporate teams that have permission to work this way….

Another brilliant book by the exceptional @bhorowitz …It’s so good that when I was a former VC (now looking to get back into the field) I would give it to all the founders of our portfolio of startups..#VentureCapital #Startups #founders #buildinggreatcompanies #greatread

@Sweeney_Ents would love to know the playlist for the pop princesses this afternoon…. Really!

I’m the head of Google AI ($15.7M TC).

You better believe we’re using this OpenAI news to make rapid advancements and go on the offensive.

As soon as I’m back from PTO for Thanksgiving break (December 1, 2023) I will be coordinating an all-hands with my team (on February 5, 2024), where we will put some Q2 OKRs in place to discuss a plan to get to parity with GPT 4 by the year 2026.

Look out, world!

[Matt Johansen @mattjay]

Okta got hacked. Leading to impact for CloudFlare, 1Password, and BeyondTrust.
