When everyone brings their +1 you can't do that, it just becomes small talk and people leave early (most of the hashing out happens at 10pm and later)

my lightly disagreeable take is that company holiday parties should not allow +1s
It's not even a cost thing, though that helps. Holiday parties are meant for people at a company to vent, learn what else is happening at the company, and build rapport with people you're currently on projects with

3) We are seeing companies that take advantage of ubiquitous data transportation standards (e.g. fax) and expanding the use cases by being able to do read anything that comes through, regardless of how the data is structured (e.g. see TennrAI)

2) Voice AI can create information flows where APIs don't currently exist today. Pharmacies don't have APIs that let you see their inventory, but you can call into a pharmacy to ask if they have something in stock. You can do this to essentially create ad-hoc data pulls.

One version of this is AI agents that are scraping data out of EHRs on behalf of providers - and some very big lawsuits being fought around this exact things (Intus v RTZ, PointClickCare v. Real Time Medical Systems)

GenAI tools look at intent on the page instead of where the specific button is + the interface is getting much easier to use to make fixes (e.g. just use a chatbox)

1) Generative AI might actually achieve the future that robotic process automation promised. The issue with v1 RPA was that because it was focused on screen specific features it broke frequently + was too difficult for frontline staff to learn the tools to make fixes themselves.

I always thought there’s was an opportunity for a new publisher focused on 100 page books. This is typically too short of a length for people to buy on a per book basis, so you’d do it as a monthly subscription

totally anecdotal, but I feel like for so many people they met their partner when they were on the fence about going on the date or to an event where they met their partner
I feel like it's something about coming in with low expectations and then being really happily surprised

This is a great post about what’s unique about palantir’s culture (good and bad)
Thought this part about shifting respect to people that go in the field was particular good

IMO this is one reason why it’s important to have a strong POV on what your culture is - and why it should explicitly dissuade certain people from joining as much as it attracts other kinds of people
