The whole feed is filled with whiplash posts on DeepSeek. Depending on how current an influencer is, it is either the best thing since sliced bread or another AI that plagiarized 🙄 Take your pick! #AIstoleAIjob

I wonder if the 1-800 chatGPT news is going to cause a resurgence in the dating line or friendship line of the 90s.

My fave learning at #reInvent from Indra Nooyi - CEOs need to think of themselves as servant leaders - lately this concept has been going out of vogue giving way to founder mode CEOs and celebrity CEOs and yet the concept of servant leadership still resonates deeply. #leadership

Indra Nooyi’s insights on ex-CEOs in board roles resonate deeply: avoid micromanaging or becoming a shadow CEO, but stay informed enough to safeguard the company. Embrace a balance of oversight and autonomy to foster innovation and protect integrity. Applicable at all levels of #Leadership #reInvent

Why does the name ‘David Mayer’ crash ChatGPT? Digital privacy requests may be at fault
Why does the name ‘David Mayer’ crash ChatGPT? Digital privacy requests may be at fault
Users of the conversational AI platform ChatGPT discovered an interesting phenomenon over the weekend: the popular chatbot refuses to answer questions if asked about a “David Mayer.” Asking it to do so causes it to freeze up instantly. Conspiracy theories…

Thanksgiving table chatter about AI : the world is divided into those that need to consciously make an effort to use AI and those that overly dependent on it and hence should try to consciously make an effort to function without it. Which one are you?

Just re-read The Unicorn Project by Gene Kim, and this read hit differently. Psychological safety as the foundation for innovation. Without it, teams can’t experiment, fail fast, or learn effectively. It’s not just about tech—it’s about trust.

Huh? www.theverge.com/2024/11/25/2... To be fair, their AI summary is pretty good, still … what does “AI first” even mean to a customer?

86% of students use AI in their learning, with 24% relying on it daily.
But - Are we teaching students to use AI effectively or are they teaching themselves?
As AI becomes staple in education, how can we ensure it enhances critical thinking and creativity, rather than replacing it? #EdTech
