Not that anybody cares, but to weigh in on the #MJvsLebron debate: no one in the 53 years of NBA history I have lived through has carried the sense of inevitability during crunch time that Jordan did. LeBron doesn’t even come close. And I hated the Jordan Bulls.

Once the old world stalwarts that are Oracle’s bread and butter dry up, it’s hard to see a rosy future for a company that is being steamrolled by Salesforce’ momentum with younger, faster-growing companies.

Attending #OOW18 this week, and can’t help but notice the contrast when compared with last month’s Dreamforce conference. Fewer people, much less energy, much drier content.

It's been over a year since I tweeted anything. How's a fella gonna get in trouble like that? Clearly I should be more controversial.

Question: when Cloud Computing wins the Preakness, do any Silicon Valley stocks experience significant gains?

NVIDIA's second announcement at #GTC2017, its new Tesla V100, promises huge advances in AI and high-performance computing.

[Tony Kontzer @tkontzer]

NVIDIA's Project Holodeck, announced today at #GTC2017, is going to change the way people work. Mind-blowing stuff.

You can always count on @neiltyson to cut through the BS. AI is not going to work out well for us--no matter what path it goes down. https://t.co/QCbzVNiYxr

Time to behave, so when Artificial Intelligence becomes our overlord, we've reduced the reasons for it to exterminate us all.
