DXC Oasis launched today.

Another proof point that the future of services looks a lot like software, humans and agents operating together around outcomes.

ngl it's hilarious that it's easier for these models to do Fields Medal-level math than it is for them to write a paragraph that doesn't make you want to rip your eyeballs out

Completely agree, we moved to the USA 7 years ago when my son was 8 and it was mind-blowing!

We have now managed to find a team playing in a league with promotion and relegation, the standard is higher and they beat many of the clubs where parents are paying 4-5K/year.

The other thing this does is produce "soft" players, any kid that has a hard/physical streak is not good for business, parents complain, they put their kids into "soccer" as an alternative to the physical/contact sport of American Football!

Honoured to join an international line-up to celebrate America 250 today.

@suekhim Get ahead and hit the ground running in his sophmore year!

[Big Brain AI @realBigBrainAI]

Andrew Ng, co-founder of Google Brain and Coursera, on the worst career advice being given about AI right now:

He doesn't mince words about what he's hearing from supposed experts:

"As early as earlier this year and certainly last year, there are a few people advising others to stop learning to write code because AI will automate it."

His reasoning is rooted in a historical pattern most people miss:

"As something becomes easier, more people should do it, not fewer. When the world moved from assembly language to COBOL, there were actually articles saying, 'Well, we now have COBOL. Programming is so easier. Looks like we don't need programmers anymore.' But the opposite happened."

Andrew believes the same thing is happening now with AI-assisted coding:

"As we now have AI assisted coding, a lot more people should be coding. And I think the demand for software, custom software, has no practical ceiling. So the cost of software engineering comes down, which it is, we'll just get more and more great software out in the world."

But here's where the advice gets uncomfortable for experienced engineers.

@AndrewYNg is honest about what he's seeing on the ground:

"It is true that a fresh college grad that is really on top of AI will outperform a full stack engineer with 10 years of experience that is still doing things they were back in 2022, 3 years ago before GenAI."

However, there's a nuance most people miss when they hear that stereotype:

"The other piece that is less well appreciated is the best engineers I know are not fresh college grads. They're actually very experienced engineers that deeply understand architecture and the conceptual framework of how to think about computers and additionally are on top of AI and on top of these AI skills."

@hwchase17 Fantastic post @hwchase17! This encapsulates much of what we are working through as we deploy agents into mission critical environments. Governance by design including engineered pauses for human input while maintaining fast iteration is critical.

[Dan Gray @danielgray80]

When this thread first dropped our team were so excited! It spoke directly to what we have been working on. The posts from @levie and @JulienBek were used to inspire the team as we raced towards launch day!

Today we launch DXC Oasis, our services as software operating model where we the best of human judgement and agentic AI are combined to deliver services focussed on missions critical enterprise IT.

I wrote about this last month. This is what services as software looks like in practice.

An operating model where orchestration, context, and judgment are engineered into the fabric.

DXC Oasis moves this from theory into real enterprise operations.

Proud to be part of the team building for this future! More to come soon!

[Chris Drumgoole @cdrumgoole]

@levie Agree with this framing, and at DXC, we’re leaning into this hard. Agentic services = cleaner swap, faster value, same buyer. Right now we’re building for this future - more soon.

@JoelBlandSport I agree, I have never seen us possess the ball so well, vertical line breaking passes into midfield and one-touch football (which has been improving all season since the Barca game). Unfortunately it counts for nowt when the final ball is poor as it was last night.

[Dan Gray @danielgray80]

@stevewraith Quality of final ball was shocking

[Dan Gray @danielgray80]

@geoffwalker80 @bazza080808 One of the midfielders (probably Ramsey) should have recognized Hall was advanced and covered. schar would never have been there if Hall was in position.

[Dan Gray @danielgray80]

@Pooliemags1Ttv Can’t do this with Pope in goal. Thats the dilemma! Ramsdale completely changes build up options. #nufc

@jimcramer Gemini is a superior model and Google are rapidly figuring out ways to integrate into the daily workflows they already own.
