There are only 3 buckets of value that matter for AI implementations.

Time/cost savings: Is AI going to replace the work humans do, cheaper or faster?

Revenue uplift: Is AI going to increase the amount of money I make, after accounting for token spend?

Risk reduction: Will I be more accurate as a result of AI doing, or checking, the work my team does?

It's incredibly important to walk teams through this value capture exercise, allowing both sides to mutually agree on priorities, KPIs, and definition of success.

The reason why AI keeps failing is because giving everyone in the org access to Claude Code and burning through $10M in tokens in 3 months feels productive until you realize there was no time/cost saving, no revenue uplift, and no risk reduction.

Hey! Imagine AI is a super-smart robot brain.

Some companies keep their best robot brains locked up secret (closed models).

This letter (signed by NVIDIA + lots of big companies) says sharing the “brain recipe” (open weights) is better for America:

- Kids, startups, and regular companies can download it and build cool stuff without needing billions of dollars.
- More people can look inside, find bugs, and make it safer — like how sharing Lego instructions lets everyone build awesome things and fix mistakes together.
- It stops one company from owning everything, creates competition, and helps the US stay #1 by spreading AI everywhere (factories, schools, hospitals).

Sharing the recipe makes the whole team stronger! 🚀

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The Australien Government has made an ad about Carbon Capture and Storage, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative. #CCS

https://t.co/sPA2ONu5a3 as someone who started using computers as early as Commodore64 and Sinclaire Spectrum, I can for sure relate that first version of any Software written is doomed to be replaced sooner rather later..

What a strange thing when @tmux at @FreeBSD gets upgraded, and you do new stuff in it afterwards.. bunch of characters onscreen that I never imagined existed :)
