Diginomica co-founder + Enterprise Irregular who blogs/videocasts on the enterprise, w/ dash of bootstrappin' + media hacks. OK, I rant sometimes.

diginomica - the app! Track @diginomica content via iOS and Android apps
https://t.co/gTSS8J7W00

"the same content speed and ease of consumption that we offer on our web site, free from ads and pop-up videos, and fully privacy compliant"

-> free to use - out of soft launch :)

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

No longer piping hot out of the oven but still more than safe for consumption :)

[diginomica @diginomica]

In this week's hits and misses from @jonerp - why AI needs more than ROI - it needs buyer trust. Why AI leadership needs a rethink, and after the digi team descended on San Francisco - Dreamforce is a wrap. Your whiffs include a new (strange) buzzword: https://t.co/lFJ7rZm4HV

"Slop Grenades": Shopify CEO Who Pushed Staff to Use AI Is Now Horrified by What He's Wrought https://t.co/FAPjJtYTKA

-> This "all in on AI" thing is getting complicated

Outlaw slop grenades lol

DraftKings Allegedly Used AI to Target Bonus Bets at Customers Expected to Lose the Most https://t.co/6swXAKOJrW

"a separate initiative to build risk scores identifying customers with potential gambling problems was shelved."

-> AI for good is boring and expensive lol

Singapore Is Paying People to Put Down Their Phones and Read Books https://t.co/XEM98u2qnZ

-> not sure having to pay people to be semi-coherent is going to work out in the long term?

[Lukas Die Kunst @LukasForTech]

@diginomica @jonerp The part about vendors hiding their monitoring tools says a lot. In aerospace I instrument everything precisely because failure is expected somewhere. Admitting your AI needs observation should be a selling point, not an embarrassment.

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

This one's been baking in the oven for a while, and now it's time to hash it out publicly :)

[diginomica @diginomica]

Buyer trust for AI services is a big talking point right now. So why does @jonerp say "enterprises buy from vendors they trust" is a totally useless, mind-numbing cliche? May be it's time for an enterprise rethink: https://t.co/Vrrso3Jox0

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

@LukasForTech @diginomica yes! I've been pressing vendors on this and too many are doing what you're describing, either they have immature eval tools or they don't stress it with customers - but as you say, they should. Well said...

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

let's crash the Dreamforce keynote https://t.co/NFvxjWSdHw

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

lots of questions and some spices as well...

[diginomica @diginomica]

So many questions this week in @jonerp's enterprise hits and misses - are AI agents employees, or not? Are enterprise harnesses ready? Are transfomer loops a security fail? And can Microsoft claim our entire whiffs section? 💩💩 https://t.co/BMGw2BykFK

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

@MaureenB2B all depends on one's workflow and preferences along with compatibility with close colleagues.... I wish there was a universal playbook for better.... example I use signal and proton but many of my colleagues don't etc

Switzerland is paying $11 million to stop using Outlook and Teams https://t.co/HQ6pkzxuvc

-> cost me a bit less than that, and was worth every freaking penny. Though in my case it was escape from Windows11 and Co-pilot that really cheered me up

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

Doctor Doom Thanked Seattle for All the Surveillance Cameras https://t.co/bPCUxz7tft

-> good to see Dr. Doom getting involved in local public comment sessions lolz

[Jon Reed @jonerp]

Microsoft Vibe Gaming: an AI to play your games for you https://t.co/FSmnTAICLO

"What if gaming, but we remove the bit where you play the game?"

-> makes sense to me, have to get ready for agents to live our lives entirely while we watch from comfy couches...

China Plans To Return Samples From Mars In 2031 After The U.S. Cancels Its Own Plans - Jalopnik https://t.co/JDDkbY4Nhd

-> if Mars is plan B, we should probably keep trying to sort plan A a little better...

Microsoft Patches a Record 974 Security Flaws in Biggest Update Ever https://t.co/vP65VCD3Bt

Amazon’s AI training on Twitch: ‘If it was opt in, nobody would opt in’ https://t.co/HSqLl6sPMr

"If it was opt-in, nobody would opt in. That’s honestly the answer."

-> A for honesty, no question lol!

‘Feeding the beast’: Meta faces allegations of using its ‘perv glasses’ to train AI in new lawsuit https://t.co/qAczxuPT2w

Jensen Huang once again declares that ‘AGI has arrived’ — but his GPT-6 celebration feels like he’s just trying to sell next-gen Nvidia GPUs : r/technology https://t.co/mOb9zBUZsC

-> I noticed.... lolz
