Responsive Communication
continued thoughts from the previously posted Refining the Contact Points One of the ways am using the Humane AiPin is in the form of a networking assistant. For several events, have used the AiPin to make a note of contacts by copying the business card into its notes and then adding notes as context needs. Not a pure CRM, but suitable enough to remember context and reach back out to persons. Continue reading →

How to AI
There’s something of a running joke in tech-corporate settings where there’s this bastardizing of the terminology of a new tool or method which breaks forth. It’s really bad, and wouldn’t be as funny if it weren’t true. Now, there are several reasons for this, part of it having to do with the way we want to signal to people who determine our reputation. The other part has to do with how mimicry happens before adoption. Continue reading →

Notes from Humane AiPin Use
sharing from my AiPin journal an item which has been a part of “what can the AiPin do better” stream of thoughts Thinking about the survey from the other day, and some of the other convos, I’m back to chewing on “what about email do I want from the AiPin?” A further reflection refined from a piece on working behaviors. Then I hit this Twitter/X thread and a lot of nodding happens Continue reading →

Are Websites Still Needed
A few conversations recently brought back to the surface an older topic: is a website really needed? To be frank, am speaking of persons who are not selling products but are offering a service, or displaying a competency so that they can be utilized for some type of knowledge expertise. What is the value of a website for these persons/companies? Where the website was once the center of your interaction and knowledge with a person or business, it is now social media, interpersonal relationships, and broadcast/narrowcast media which takes these roles.

Conceptualization as a Superpower
For a little more than a decade, taught a number of “corporate education” courses with the intention of helping to raise the floor of internal teams as it related to content management and data analytics. One of the more surprising bits of information learned across the years of doing this was a widespread inability to distinguish outputs from outcomes. Some would attend the sessions hoping to “get out of it” a shape of understanding an application for a specific output. Continue reading →

Thought: Incompatible with Current Working Behaviors
One of the threads connecting our research with sales/opportunities is a framework where this work is based on a different approach to screens and input than most are accustomed. Utilizing a mobile and tablet for the better part of 15 -20 years as a primary computer is something of an alternate reality from the “we just discovered smartphones when Apple did it” contingent. Shoot, when the iPhone was introduced, was using Nokia’s N800 Internet Tablet as a primary device while reporting from an event demoing other upcoming devices. Continue reading →

Is There A Difference Now for Social Computing Devices
Context: Sitting in the usual cafe-office, looking at the devices on the table and recalling a friend’s mention about new wallpaper on their mobiles…sharing wallpapers is such a social thing. If this were the “social computing” setup, I wonder what the “sharing wallpaper” moments would be? In the rise of wearable devices, capability is often touted as being the prime factor for usage. But, that isn’t often the case. There are behaviors - sometimes new or novel - which endear themselves to the adoption and use of those devices which makes or breaks their use. Continue reading →

Read the Terms of Service
Was introduced to a new-to-me web service the other day. As with many, it was “Al” related. So I did my usual… I went to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to see what is going on behind the marketing. In this case, the TOS was not all that… good. So, took at look at the developer’s site and any TOS/privacy policy notes there. This was better. But also concerning. Continue reading →

How is Avanceé Using AI/ML Today
The straightforward answer is there isn’t a daily use case which is centered around “productivity.” There are the near-invisible cases such as memo-writing based off of feedback from items which come to mind or recent conversations, but these don’t move the needle to what many have talked about using AI/ML for. Well, not for some of is desired for transformers to accomplish. There are some edge uses such as when looking to do comparisons or code changes/enhancements; where previously would go to several sites and piece things together. Continue reading →

Complications and Re-Engineering AL/ML Complexity
A part of the work posted during some of the weekly “notable reads“ lives in the attention paid to augmented/artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Much of this is because this is a popular topic, and there’s much worth investigating behind the hype and ”transformative actions” at play. Some has become a regular dive into data structures, language models, and model implementations. We purchased a Mac Mini a few years ago to explore this space with more depth - a prototypical research and development experiment. Continue reading →
