Invention is concerned with things and ideas, innovation is all about people and relationships.

@IntuitMachine What is the name for role that determines the features or capabilities the customer needs to create value in their business? Is this still a human only role or a blend/centaur or ?

Control plane! Control plane! Control plane!

You will hear this term of art a lot going forward. Why?

Because in this next phase of AI, companies will want something to sit above the models. They will want control over their AI spend. They will want the flexibility to pick certain models over others, to have flexibility on spending their budgets and more tightly tying that to measurable outcomes.

But most importantly, leaders will want to have INTENT around their AI spend.

Vibe coding is dead. Now comes the serious ROI driven analysis that is associated with every other serious business initiative.

This is why we built Software Factory.

Signs you might be trying to get your frontier AI lab nationalized:

You compare it to nukes… threaten half of white-collar jobs… warn recursive self-improvement could end humanity… then race ahead anyway.

In other words, you want the government to save us from… you.

Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:

"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."

"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."

"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."

"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."

"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."

Why are corporate execs like this?

@ryoshu @tomfgoodwin Absolutely, and we should not embrace new technology for technology's sake. But the question is: if your competitors are making effective use of video in appropriate circumstances, and you are not, why are you forfeiting an advantage?

watching pratt explain in detail how he’d change the reservoir system at the debate was specifically what made me think he could do this. fine to disagree with him, but people like akilah are really just writing fan fiction for the people dumb enough to think they’re smart.

"Pearl Harbor Two: the Drone Boogaloo" AKA "Operation Spiderweb with Chinses Characteristics" will start with volleys of 2,400 km range OWA drones tricked out with Starlink live data links to kill every USN warship in port & auxiliaries everywhere.

The distance the Ukrainian FP-1 or FP-2 drone traveled to kill this Russian corvette is equivalent to flying from Los Angles, California to the Oregon border.

No port or naval base in the world is safe from SURPRISE DRONE ATTACK.

@jbarro Fetterman's a flawed guy but he doesn't cheat on his wife, play with Nazi aesthetics, and doesn't enjoy seeing others suffer.

To conflate Fetterman and Platner's flaws as one type is misleading.
