We must not let our technology exceed our humanity 💟 Everyone’s’ opinions on this are imprtant. None of us are smarter than all of us “New technology is not good or evili in and of itself. It's all about how people choose to use it” ~David Wong #technology #innovation #ai #ethics #regulation

Good morning, BlueSky. Sometimes the smallest gestures carry the most love. Go gently into the day and leave a little love and peace wherever you go.

A connected factory without control is just a faster way to make mistakes. When machines share live data, every signal can affect production, so automation needs purpose, reliable data, and clear human responsibility. #IndustrialIoT #SmartManufacturing

In his blog (link below), Tom Raftery makes a strong case for Electricity strategy being part of the capital strategy as access to the energy grid becomes more restricted. This is especially true when wanting to leverage renewables. See his post and blog below ⬇️ Post bsky.app/profile/tomr...

Thinking about the math underneath #ai which is familiar, makes it much less intimidating. You don’t need to know how to build a bridge in order to drive over it, but you do need to trust it (its architects) The more you understand Ai, the better you can question it & those who will regulate it

A great quote attributed to Carl Sagan ⬇️ "It's clear that there's a rampant dumbing down in progress in which not knowing things is considered a virtue. I don't throw my hands up in despair, but I do try to indicate that it's a very serious problem." #quote #quotable #education #science #knowledge
