I can’t tell if it’s torture or amusement to be in line at @Starbucks with chatty people ordering crazy complicated drinks. It makes it far from fast food. People ordering crazy complicated some bizarre stuff. I guess it’s better than coming in behind a large online order.

Having a bad day on @AmericanAir heading for a 4 hour delay with no message from the counter people in @CLTAirport Some vague lame answer with no information. Don’t think I will fly them if I can help it.

Flying sucks now, no one will open the windows on the plane to look outward. They all just look down at their devices with no notion of the world. At least open the window shades for some awareness.

Having a cool day Collision Conf today. Lots of startups. Lots of companies are using various pieces of #genai and old school normal #ai to help their clients make their business better. I also look to see if they actually need AI to make their product be…https://t.co/MhManGJMbB

I am attending #collision2023 this week and seeing how enterprise is looking at #genai and innovation these days. #innovation Is a key skill for people and companies. There is no mastery of it, only continuous learning and adapting. That’s what makes it f…https://t.co/BQNOTQnwRC

I am at Creative Destruction Lab lab today and the conversation on the stage is great. It’s all about AI and the ethics as we are finally entering the world of functional #ai Rich Sutton and Erik brynjolfsson have been working on this for a long time.…https://t.co/j8U6WOJku4

I am happy to be attending CDL again here in Toronto. Lots of AI discussions and other cool stuff. Creative Destruction Lab does a great job with these events and advances the conversation on technological advances. #cdlsupersession2023 is where it’s at.…https://t.co/dWyubM22M8

I tried the feedback button on google ads but I find they still send me garbage ads on sites. Perhaps it is their useless partners like @YourAdChoices and @Outbrain who just seem to fill the web with junk? If they ask for feedback and don’t act in it, what’s the point?

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

I hate the trend of people leaving the shades closed for a whole flight. It makes it feel pretty claustrophobic in a plane which already feels that way. They are not sleeping, just staring at their devices the whole time.

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

It’s interesting watching what people look at on TikTok and Instagram while at the airport and on the plane. It doesn’t give me much hope for the future. The movie Idiocracy comes to mind.

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

I think #TorontoCA should fine companies hourly who block the streets while not working on street and building projects.

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

If airlines and airports could manage baggage properly(won’t ever happen), people would not feel the need to carry enormous bags on the plane. They could also aggressively enforce carry on bags then and make everything better. Perhaps even remove the overhead bins!

I wonder how Twitter will change with a lack of controls? If every “fact” based tweet is suspect, is it news or noise? PR firms will have to justify their noise by owning it or just keep hiring shills to post garbage and let the public make up their mind.

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

Just keep using it and continue to ignore stupid people and ideas. You don’t talk or listen to everyone at a party either.

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

Not sure why there is all of the whining about ownership change at Twitter. People want to blather on about stuff can still do it.

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

Whichever firm does crisis management and PR for @HockeyCanada should not be hired again by anyone. Ever.

Much better now that we found out where the staging area is. #Gumball3000

[Eric Hixon @fchixon]

It’s boring waiting for it. We don’t know wheee the cars are while they get ready. #Gumball3000

This project has gotten a bit more complex than I expected it to. Turning an old iMac g4 into an m1 iMac. @ Toronto, Ontario https://t.co/3IJHVom1Rf
