Hootsuite founder Ryan Holmes returns to CEO role on interim basis | CBC News

The CEO of Hootsuite has stepped down after spending the last several months defending a contract between the company and a controversial U.S. government department, making way for the firm's founder to return on an interim basis.

A month with #OpenClaw has me convinced that Agentic AI is the real deal.

I've been skeptical of the AI hype cycles. Even here, the economics are largely not there yet, and it’s far from consumer-ready. But it's hard to deny the raw potential it is already showcasing.

For a few cents, it can draft a script, validate it, and instruct a user how to run it on a system cron. From there, an agentic cron can retrieve the output and make decisions entirely locally on modest consumer hardware. Its easy to see how chaining this together can build valuable automation.

The question is whether frontier models can become economically (and environmentally) viable enough so that the user doesn't have to think about the architecture. Can we hand tasks off to more reliable models without breaking the bank or the ozone layer? Can we trust the inputs will be private and secure?

At a #CyberSecurity forum recently, the "golden rule" was cited as 10% of the total I.T. budget. For a Canadian NFP handling sensitive donor data and facing a 50% rise in phishing attempts this year, that feels dangerously low.

Is anyone actually seeing 10% work in the field?

Bell can’t seem to resist alienating customers. It amazes me that anyone still buys services from this greedy corporation. #canBiz #canTech #Bell

Not surprisingly, I see that service at #Shaw has plummetted since the #Rogers takeover. Can it be because of all those new promised hires? Oh wait, what, you mean Rogers broke its commitment and instead is laying off thousands. Call me shocked. Where is the Competition Bureau now? #cantech #canTV #canpoli #CorporateGreed
@DanielMenjivar I received the same message from Rogers-owned Fido and all I could do was laugh. We desperately need true competition here or to nationalize the infrastructure and services. #CanTech #CanBiz #greed
@9to5Mac Meanwhile, in Canada #Bell and #Rogers raise rates and do everything possible to squeeze every penny out of us to grow their outrageous profits. If only we had real competition here. #greed #EatTheRich #canbiz #cantech
