If you're at all concerned by geopolitics and escalating tensions in Europe, you must listen to this podcast. Russia has been dismantling the West and democracy for decades - we need to wake up and react. Thanks @carolecadwalla.bsky.social & @peterjukes.bsky.social open.spotify.com/show/5HD2g2F...

Glad to have attended a screening of #2073 last night. This film by @asifkapadia.bsky.social is essential viewing if you have any interest in preserving democracy. What's happening in the US is easily coming for Europe, unless we wake up and act now. #leastworstoption www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDE9...

If you have any interest in #AI and/or the future of democracy, you need to read this latest article by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social. I spent 20 years working in tech and survived several of its hype-cycles. This one is on steroids and, if allowed to continue, has dark consequences for us all.

🚨 🚨 Geek Squad alert!!! 🚨 🚨 If you enjoy finding out more about how things work, I highly recommend 𝙄, 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣 by Dr Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. It puts a very different angle on all the #AI spin and for any business recognising the urgent need for innovation, it's an essential read. #futureofwork

Spent most of today trying to understand how 2 tech platforms are failing to integrate with one another to provide a seamless UI for the customer (me) and for my customers. Hours I won't get back. Increasingly hard to speak to human customer support. Welcome to the age of AI 😶‍🌫️
