It was awesome connecting with her dedicated fans, hearing how she's inspired her community, exploring her favourite Mustang Survival gear, and listening to the captivating stories from her record-shattering journey. A heartfelt thank you to Cole and everyone at Team One for making this event happen! #livebeyondland

In the Market of Giants (and 49ers), Our Local Focus Makes Us Mighty
In today's globalized world, it's easy to overlook the power of local expertise and commitment. But at NASLEF, we understand that being an underdog can be a superpower.

What a beautiful day at Levi's Stadium with the sky starting off a Honolulu Blue but turning red and yellow along with the fate of the game. What a great season for Detroit. Whoever is America's team, Detroit will always be mine. 💙 #onepride

I researched interviewees for this compelling and insightful oral history of greyhound racing at Wimbledon stadium. Its another project by digital:works in collaboration with Wimbledon in Sporting History. I think it is story telling of the highest order and so more compelling because of the authenticity of those telling their stories. A lesson perhaps for PR and marketing.

🌼 Is it time for a truce?
On the daily, Burke races out the back door and to the fence, fur bristling on her neck and back, and viciously defends our yard, chastising Henry (“our” Great Blue Heron), for daring to be on OUR side of the pond.
Of course, Henry squawks his retort and flies off, returning only after Burke has meandered back to her indoor retreat.
But today, it looks like Henry decided he was done being bullied and bossed around by Burke.
Henry was the louder of the two in their exchange today and after briefly retreating...decided he'd had enough of this.
“Not today Burke!” I think I heard him say.
Maybe it was Burke’s half-hearted barks. She just didn’t seem that into doing her job today. And now she’s paid the price...
...or maybe Henry realized that he's the one with the power.
He's not held back by a fence.
And even if he was fenced in, he could just fly away.
Today, Henry finally stood his ground.
And it even appears there may have been some playful, friendly repartee there at the end.
Maybe we can all get along, overcome challenges, and see others in a new light.
Need a new perspective?
Have a great Monday!!
(**Please excuse me if I don't interact much today: I'm on an airboat chasing alligators.)

What principles guide your company's direction? Are they good? Are they bad?
At Garrett, we paused in 2022 after our last founder passed away to reflect on our history and our values and we codified the results in what we call our "Four Pillars". Garrett's Four Pillars are both historical and aspirational. They are the principles that we intend to retain and strengthen as we make decisions to guide our future. Over the next four weeks, I'll share our Pillars with you. #GarrettCares#Garrett4Pillars
Wishing everyone a great holiday season and a happy new year. I am seeing all the 2024 AI predictions hitting the wire already. Here's some from GPT-4!
---
Let’s dive into some intriguing predictions for the year 2024 in the realm of artificial intelligence:
GenAI and Cybersecurity:
IBM predicts that gen AI (a term referring to the next generation of AI) will become the new DNA of cyberattacks. Attackers will increasingly compromise networks using counterfeit and stolen privileged access credentials1.
As AI evolves, so do the methods of deception and identity abuse.
OpenAI’s Transformation:
OpenAI, after its transformative year in 2023, will shift its focus. Expect it to embrace a more aggressive “ship it” mindset. The GPT store, akin to an “app store for AI,” will be a prominent platform for acquiring AI tools and models. OpenAI aims to follow Apple’s successful model.
Agents:
Niche applications of AI models, including agent-based models, will grow beyond their current status. These models will interact with spreadsheets, ticketing systems, and transportation apps.
Generative Multimedia:
Generative multimedia (such as AI-generated video and music) will find niches where their limitations are less visible. Skilled creators will leverage these tools for fun and interesting applications.
Monolithic LLMs and Their Limits:
Large language models (LLMs) have exceeded expectations, but 2024 will reveal their limitations. Research at the frontiers of this field will shed light on where these models hit their boundaries2.
Generative AI in Consumers’ Lives:
According to Forrester, generative AI will seep into consumers’ lives. Skeptics will increasingly use and appreciate generative AI, even if they don’t realize it.
AI will spur creativity and boost productivity in enterprises by 50%.
Democratization and Personalization:
AI democratization will continue, making AI accessible to more people.
Personalization at scale will become a key focus, tailoring AI solutions to individual needs.
Digital Humans:
Digital humans (AI avatars) and digital twinning (virtual replicas of real-world objects) will gain prominence.
Ethics:
Ethical considerations and regulations around AI will be hot topics.
Remember, these predictions are based on current trends and research, and the actual future may hold even more surprises. Exciting times lie ahead as AI continues to shape our world! 🌟🤖
