ChatGPT rickrolled me once. Pretty sure that was the closest we’ve been to AGI.

What if Parquet didn’t just store data, but stored knowledge? RAGs are starving for structured data with context. What if we embedded ontology links, units, provenance and entity relationships directly into Parquet metadata? Who else is thinking about this? 👀

“our thinking is outdated” because we must be aware of our limitations - @eevamaija.bsky.social Great topic @ @datadaytexas.bsky.social #datadaytexas

OUR THINKING IS OUTDATED.
Evolutionary beggere:
• Survival required left-brain precision.
• Long-term thinking was secondary.
The Industrial Revolution prioritized efficiency over explontion.
Our brain resists ambiguity, fevoring quick and detal ciented solutions.

I’ve started writing about the challenges in the data ecosystem and the burnout faced by data engineers. These are systemic, cultural and deeply human issues. I’ll explore practical solutions, systemic thinking and Bridge Skills to rebuild from the ground up. 👉 Join the discussion on Substack! 🔗

Interest piqued. JEF, subsidiary of NATO has activated some kind an AI dubbed ’Nordic Warden’ to take in data from AIS and ”other sensors” in Baltic Sea to monitor and proactively react to threats by the Russian shadow fleet.

Data, ML, GenAI or humans: Who makes the best decisions? 📊 Data gives you the historical facts. ⚙️ Machine Learning (ML) predicts outcomes but struggles with the unexpected. 🤖 Generative AI (GenAI) generates ideas. 🤷‍♀️ Humans? Creative and visionary, but slow and biased. The answer? Combine them.

How much money has your company wasted on data projects with no real value? ✅ Don’t chase shiny tools. ✅ Start with real business problems. ✅ Build tailored, actionable data products to solve them. ✅ Ask: Does this help customers/employees? 🚫 If not, stop. Simplicity wins. #datastrategy #databs
