America turned 250 this July 4, which is a good moment to ask what independence means inside the enterprise.
For the last fifty years, software gave companies a kind of independence from paper, memory, meetings, and local judgment by making work legible.
The next shift is different.
AI is not independence from software. It is independence from software-shaped work.
The question is no longer just who owns the record.
It is who owns execution.
I wrote about what that means for SaaS, services firms, management, and the operating model of the AI-native enterprise.
RIP Charlie Munger.
I got to really know Charlie when I chanced upon @trengriffin writings on him at internal Microsoft discussion forums some 17-18 yrs ago. Charlie's wisdom, wit & rational thinking has left an indelible mark for generations to learn from & emulate.
@leonardjensan@dhruvaray@BloomsburyIndia Sounds like the sales rep wasn't just โactingโ on a whim when he delivered the book. Talk about getting into character! ;)
If anyone deserves a vacation post Microsoft-Activision deal closure, it is @FOSSpatents He was my eyes and ears on the deal and the FTC case. Great work !!
In the race of Generative AI, โBy not being tied to any one AI startup, AWS is marketing itself as the Switzerland of the cloud giants.โ https://t.co/yzfFnWvInA
Not many have talked about Moodyโs failure in the #SVB saga. Till it got bust, they gave SVB an A rating. โSilicon Valley Bank's long-term local currency bank deposit & issuer ratings were rated A1 and Baa1 respectively until March 10.โ https://t.co/v4SuMnalXW
