• AI Management: Excellence in Distancing Decisions from Consequences

    Updated: 2025-07-02 09:53:00
    Smart software involved in the graphic, otherwise just an addled dinobaby. This write up “Exclusive: Scale AI’s Spam, Security Woes Plagued the Company While Serving Google” raises two minor issues and one that is not called out in the headline or the subtitle: $14 billion investment from Meta struggled to contain ‘spammy behavior’ from unqualified […]

  • Microsoft Innovation: Emulating the Bold Interface Move by Apple?

    Updated: 2025-07-02 09:39:00
    This dinobaby wrote this tiny essay without any help from smart software. Not even hallucinating gradient descents can match these bold innovations. Bold. Decisive. Innovative. Forward leaning. Have I covered the adjectives used to communicate “real” innovation? I needed these and more to capture my reaction to the information in “Forget the Blue Screen of […]

  • Microsoft and OpenAI: An Expensive Sitcom

    Updated: 2025-07-01 09:53:00
    No smart software involved. Just an addled dinobaby. I remember how clever I thought the book title “Who Says Elephants Can’t Dance?: Leading a Great Enterprise Through Dramatic Change.” I find the break dancing content between Microsoft and OpenAI even more amusing. Bloomberg “real” news reported that Microsoft is “struggling to sell its Copilot solutions. […]

  • Publishing for Cash: What Is Here Is Bad. What Is Coming May Be Worse

    Updated: 2025-07-01 09:37:00
    Smart software involved in the graphic, otherwise just an addled dinobaby. Shocker. Pew Research discovers that most “Americans” do not pay for news. Amazing. Is it possible that the Pew professionals were unaware of the reason newspapers, radio, and television included comic strips, horoscopes, sports scores, and popular music in their “real” news content? I […]

  • Add On AI: Sounds Easy, But Maybe Just a Signal You Missed the Train

    Updated: 2025-06-30 10:33:00
    No smart software to write this essay. This dinobaby is somewhat old fashioned. I know about Reddit. I don’t post to Reddit. I don’t read Reddit. I do know that like Apple, Microsoft, and Telegram, the company is not a pioneer in smart software. I think it is possible to bolt on Item Z to […]

  • Palantir Rattles the Windows in the Nuclear Industry

    Updated: 2025-06-30 09:53:00
    This dinobaby asked ChatGPT about Palantir. Interesting output. “Palantir Partners to Develop AI Software for Nuclear Construction” caught me by surprise. I did not think the company founded in 2003 was an artificial intelligence company with expertise in the nuclear field. The cited article reports: Palantir Technologies on Thursday [June 26, 2025] said it was […]

  • Do Not Be Evil. Dolphins, Polar Bears, and Snail Darters? Tough Luck

    Updated: 2025-06-30 09:25:00
    No AI, just the dinobaby expressing his opinions to Zillennials. The Guardian comes up with some interesting “real” news stories. “Google’s Emissions Up 51% As AI Electricity Demand Derails Efforts to Go Green” reports: Google’s carbon emissions have soared by 51% since 2019 as artificial intelligence hampers the tech company’s efforts to go green. The […]

  • Publishers Will Love Off the Wall by Google

    Updated: 2025-06-27 13:17:19
    No smart software involved just an addled dinobaby. Ooops. Typo. I meant “offerwall.” My bad. Google has thrown in the towel on the old-school, Backrub, Clever, and PageRank-type of search. A comment made to me by a Xoogler in 2006 was accurate. My recollection is that this wizard said, “We know it will end. We […]

  • Teams Today, Cloud Data Leakage Tomorrow Allegations Tomorrow?

    Updated: 2025-06-27 09:53:00
    An opinion essay written by a dinobaby who did not rely on smart software . The creep of “efficiency” manifests in numerous ways. A simple application becomes increasingly complex. The result, in many cases, is software that loses the user in chrome trim, mud flaps, and stickers for vacation spots. The original vehicle wears a […]

  • US Science Conferences: Will They Become an Endangered Species?

    Updated: 2025-06-26 09:53:00
    Due to high federal budget cuts and fears of border issues, the United States may be experiencing a brain drain. Some smart people (aka people tech bros like to hire) are leaving the country. Leadership in some high profile outfits are saying, ““Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.” Others get multi-million […]
