@MoorInsStrat @rheznire This makes a lot of sense! No surprise there - look at the authors. Two super super smart people.

Interesting. Great to see more supporters of open source.

Scoop from me: Nvidia will spend a total of $26 billion over the next five years building the world's best open source models. America is back in the open source AI race! https://t.co/MaaFnOPt0N

Labour hitting the self-destruct button has been so, so, SO disappointing.

So much opportunity wasted!!

What a busy first week back! So much energy from the conversations w. the analyst community and colleagues.

2026 is going to be a fun year if this continues 😀

Great to see that innovation in the smartphone market is still racing ahead!

The only issue is when these devices cost the same as a smartphone + tablet. I can't see mass consumer adoption with high prices.

Couldn't agree more with this. The state of maternity services in the UK is shocking. We have young kids, and what we experienced and what we know others have is not acceptable in the 21st century.

But... no surprise... nothing is being done about it.

[Sophy Ridge @SophyRidgeSky]

We've had a new report out into maternity and neonatal care and honestly... there's not a single surprise in it.

It's still - and I don't use these words lightly - a total disgrace. We've had multiple reports telling us this. And yet the same problems keep happening.

Women not being listened to - mums and babies being harmed or even dying - when they shouldn't be. So many people have their own stories - I'm sure if you're listening to this right now you might have your own story - or know someone who does.

There's one thing I wanted to pick out from the report by Baroness Valerie Amos.

The investigation heard cases of women who had lost babies being placed on wards with newborns.

This might seem like a little thing. But can you imagine losing a baby. The worst moment of your entire life. All those hopes and dreams for your child's future. Carrying the baby inside you - feeling it grow - and then the blood, the desperation that maybe it's going to be ok, surely it's got to be ok, and then the reality that you've lost your child.

And then what happens? You're put on a ward full of other mothers just like you... but these mums have their little babies in their arms.

That is not just negligent. It is cruel.

And it also happens systematically throughout the NHS. Having a miscarriage? Go to the maternity unit. Just had a scan where you'd hope to see your baby kicking but actually find out it doesn't have a heart beat? Go and sit down with all the happily pregnant mums.

This is symptomatic of a system where women are treated like vessels not like people who should be heard and listened to.

Because bringing life into the world can be the happiest time of your life. But it can also be the worst time of your life.

Either way - it's the most important moment. And that's why we've got to get this right.

@rheznire is one of the smartest leaders I've had the privilege to work with, leading with strategic thinking, curiosity and empathy.

Great to see this news from @MoorInsStrat!

[Patrick Moorhead @PatrickMoorhead]

I am excited to announce that I have appointed @rheznire as President of @MoorInsStrat. She is a veteran analyst relations, communications, and strategy executive, and I will partner closely with her to guide the firm through its next phase of growth.

Founded in 2011, Moor Insights & Strategy has earned a reputation among its clients for delivering high-quality and credible advisory services from analysts with deep industry experience, rigorous market education, and strong, trusted relationships with technology leaders, channel partners, and enterprise buyers. As the firm enters its 15th year, Erin's appointment strengthens our commitment to delivering the analyst access, insights, and content that clients value.

I started Moor Insights & Strategy on a simple principle: clients deserve analysts who have been in their customers’ shoes, understand technology deeply, communicate clearly, and operate as true long-term partners. Erin embodies that philosophy. She understands the landscape clients are navigating with industry analysts and advisors and has a point of view on ways to use and inform AI with integrity. She is the right leader for where we’re headed, with client-first relationships that built our reputation.

Please give her a shout-out and a follow. https://t.co/NMbb7x8xuy

Well done @British_Airways for postponing the Atlanta -> London flight by 24 hours despite the plane we’re riding on arriving EARLY. And no other options available - just wait a day, good luck.

What *great* service…

@danielnewmanUV A question I have for folks new to investing though... it's great for those that invested earlier and have seen those returns, but for folks wanting to invest now - do they wait? Do they still start investing?

Europe doesn’t have an AI ambition problem.
It has a control problem.

No wonder there’s a common consensus that 5G is slower and worse than ever before.

At Gatwick Airport, only one bar of signal, can’t even get simple web pages to load.

What a poor experience. Consistently bad as well across the UK.

[Michael Rennett @MichaelRennett]

@nickmcquire @Gartner_inc Big news! Congrats Nick.

@danielnewmanUV Leg day is the best day. Especially as my upper body strength is awful in comparison 🤣

I'm noticing this more and more - Gemini keeps on blowing ChatGPT out the water for high quality responses.

I feel like Gemini 'gets it' more often and ChatGPT is a disappointment. Might be time to cancel my OpenAI sub.
