I finally found the 1 unread email that was hiding in my @gmail inbox for weeks; I want to tell literally everyone around me but also know they give no shits.

[Danielle Harris @danfaithhar]

I commented to a colleague today how odd it is that we don't have a siren like we would on Yom Hazikaron. And she said "Yeah, we don't need one, we're still living in this."

And then I again remembered everything around me, and also that we had had a siren at 11 am, of course.

Lowlights of the week: waiting to be surprised by Iran
Highlights of the week: getting surprised by nine (9) (!) pieces coming out of the kiln

Not a bad start
שבוע טוב ושקטטטטט

[Danielle Harris @danfaithhar]

This podcast episode talks about a Messianic mindset, where you focus to see the Godliness and G-d and Good in the world. Godliness that cannot be unseen.

An intellectual analysis of the Rebbe and words to listen to while staring at the ocean.

highly highly highly recommend

not my dad over here just dropping chilling wisdom on linkedin when everyone else is telling me about their new promotion to *Senior* Associate.

Noa Argamani told her family: There was a knock on the door - 'It's the IDF, we've come to rescue you.'"

Thank you to our men and women in uniform.

There are not enough words.

Nothing less comforting than a man walking up to you on the subway and saying “I’m not going to harass you”

The reason I’m insanely bullish on AI is that since starting Box, we have never seen a bigger shift in how we can work with our enterprise information than today.

AI completely revolutionizes how we can work with enterprise information. Since the mainframe era, it’s been relatively trivial to work with our *structured* data in an enterprise. We could query, compute, synthesize, summarize, and analyze anything that could be structured in a database - i.e. the data sitting in our ERP, CRM, and HR systems.

But it turns out this is only a small fraction of our corporate information. If you were to “weigh” the amount of data inside of an enterprise (in the form of raw storage), roughly 10% of it would be structured data, and 90% of it would be unstructured data. And our content — things like our documents, contracts, product specs, financial records, marketing assets and videos — makes up the vast majority of this corporate data. Yet for essentially the entire history of computing, we haven’t *really* been able to make sense of this information unless a human is involved. Of course we can store it, send it, share it, and search for it — but deeply understanding what’s inside this information in a way that computers can interact with intelligently has been near-impossible.

Well, for the first time ever, generative AI actually lets us talk to our unstructured data. Multimodal models especially allow us to process this content using a computer and essentially perform any task that a human can, but at infinite scale and speed. This is utterly game-changing when working with information in the enterprise. 

Instantly, our content goes from being digital artifacts that get touched once in a while, to a digital memory that anyone in the enterprise can tap into always. All of a sudden instead of the more information you have making things harder to find and make sense of, the opposite becomes true. And we enter a world where your digital information becomes one of your most valuable resources.

When we can turn our content into valuable knowledge, everything about how we work changes. A new employee instantly has access to the same expertise of someone who’s worked at a company for 15 years; when you can understand what’s inside of content — like contracts, invoices, or digital assets— and extract its structured data, you can automate nearly any workflow; and AI can let us classify and protect content with a level of precision that’s never been possible before to prevent threats and risks across the enterprise.

This is simply the biggest change we’ve ever seen with how we can work with our data, and this is what we’re building with Box AI.

In 1945, Vannevar Bush wrote a seminal article which outlined eerily insightful predictions, including the idea of the “Memex”, a new device “in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory.”

The vision laid out imagined a future where the more knowledge and information your “computer” had, the smarter and more informed you would become. While many aspects of PCs, mobile devices, and the cloud eventually resembled this early vision, the seamlessness in how we could work with our information never quite played out. 

Until today.

There’s been a lot of controversy of the exact word used by Hamas terrorists to describe the young women they have just captured, beaten, and plan to abuse sexually. What do these small semantics matter when a single image of what is being done is so obviously brutal inhumanity

[Bring Them Home Now @bringhomenow]

We thought hard and really tried to find the words to describe how heartbroken, shocked, and enraged we are in light of the new abduction video of the five female observers. There truly are no words to describe what they did or how they did it. The sadistic, diabolical, barbaric torment that our women endured while treating them like prizes and trophies, just plain objects to do with as they please. All the while praising themselves for their inhumane and monstrous accomplishments.
All we know is that no human should have to spend a single moment with them, let alone 229 days.
It has never been more clear how urgent it is to bring them home. Now!

This is the original, uncensored version of Israel’s Eurovision entry: “October Rain.” Judge for yourself whether “never again” and other lyrics were so offensive it was disqualified from competing and rewritten as “Hurricane.”

Please, do not forget him, and do not give up on him.

Daddy, I promise that no matter what you will come home and we will not stop fighting for you. Please, stay strong, we all love you.

I hear you all the time, your laugh, your jokes, and I think you must be choking from so much longing.

I pray every day that you'll return to us; my heart is not full, it is broken until you return.

[Danielle Harris @danfaithhar]

But I am here to cry the cry that you cannot. I am here to testify because I was there and I know what it is. I don't have words to describe the suffering. I want my dad back, living. Even in my most horrible nightmares, I'm not able to imagine my life without him.
