Content Operations as Part of Product Lifecycle Management

Too often, product lifecycles forget to factor in the production and delivery of content into the production environment. More fascinating, this happens when the product *is* content. Senior Product Manager, Roger Hart, has experienced the entire supply chain, from his past work as a content producer through to product marketing and now product management. Roger brings his sage perspective to the topic of ways to prevent the “last-mile” scramble. This is particularly timely, given the complexities of working on new-to-market API-driven products in which the content is, in effect, the user experience. Attendees will learn: 1) How to get product managers to care about content as part of the value chain 2) Ways to talk with product management about content as a value chain 3) Getting the organization to recognize post-sales content as a product asset "Let's Talk Content Operations" is brought to you by The Content Wrangler, and is sponsored by Heretto.

Need some help - I can get a local feed or a federated feed, but where is my feed of people I follow (and not others)?

Science vs pseudo science - this started out discussing Agile, then went onto a fascinating traipse into other areas and how people manipulate situations in business.

I asked #chatgpt to write me an essay, with citations, about a scientific topic I know very well (bat crawling behaviour). It wrote a bad essay that didn’t really say much, but cited two papers with which I wasn’t familiar, in very good journals. I was freaked out! How did I not know those papers?
Turns out, chatgpt just made them up. The papers don’t exist. That’s a handy thing to know.

From @pluralistic:

"Earlier this year, many people with Argus optical implants – which allow blind people to see – lost their vision when the manufacturer, Second Sight, went bust.

"Nano Precision Medical, the company's new owners, aren't interested in maintaining the implants, so that's the end of the road for everyone with one of Argus's 'bionic' eyes. The $150,000 per eye that those people paid is gone, and they have failing hardware permanently wired into their nervous systems.

"Having a bricked eye implant doesn't just rob you of your sight – many Argus users experience crippling vertigo and other side effects of nonfunctional implants. The company has promised to 'do our best to provide virtual support' to people whose Argus implants fail – but no more parts and no more patches."

What will ChatGPT mean for the future of technical communication? - Cherryleaf
