Every month I pick three books worth talking about. One that made me think, one that changed how I do something, and one that's just a great read.

"Half a Second Saved the Internet"
I watched a fantastic video this weekend from Veritasium about security & it inspired this post.
Also, nod to my all time favourite author (& Nanobanana who helped me generate the image when other providers tools wouldnt!)

We Need an AI Strategy
When the board says 'we need an AI strategy', they want reassurance for investors. When IT hears it, they hear 'investment in data'. Understanding that gap is probably the most useful thing you can do when it lands on your desk.
I've been running a personal AI agent for the past few weeks. Think Jarvis, but with more cron jobs and less Robert Downey Jr.
With Peter Steinberger (OpenClaw's creator) joining #OpenAI this week, personal agents have gone from scifi to mainstream adoption in weeks! In the 2nd post I've done on this, I cover several things I've learned over the past week, including that 📅 your AI can lose track of what day it actually is!

"Why Using a Polite Tone with AI Matters" - Brilliant! I've been in the habit of doing this since day one of ChatGPT etc, but I also always wondered if I was being a bit unnecessary! Manners cost nothing (except in this case 1-2 seconds of extra typing!) #GenAI #Copilot #ChatGPT #AI https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/why-using-a-polite-tone-with-ai-matters
Google admits that a Gemini AI demo video was staged < storm+teacup IMO. Gemini has an API and GCP has TTS and STT. You could build these together as an app in no time. Speeding up is no surprise either. The capability is impressive. #GenAI #Gemini #AIML https://www.engadget.com/google-admits-that-a-gemini-ai-demo-video-was-staged-055718855.html
