Me to IT guy - Can you help me install this R statistical language and environment on my computer? IT guy - R? Are you sure that’s not pirated software? I love a good geeky pirate joke! Bravo Kevin

I'm blown away by the merger of Wunderman Thompson and VML Y&R into VML. This is the end of the line for three iconic agencies including Young & Rubicam, founded in 1923. And J Walter Thomspon, creators of the USP, founded in 1896. And the world moves on strategyonline.ca/2023/10/17/wun…

Blown away by the capabilities of ChatGPTs image recognition. How does a LLM do that? Plus, most amazingly, it can read my hand writing.

Excited to finally know what Vancouver’s going to get in ‘26. Really pleased to get a round of 32 and a round of 16 game.

Really excited to have Wrexham AFC coming to town to take on our Vancouver Whitecaps FC this summer. Oh, and their owners are welcome to come home too.

Really amazed at the image creation within the latest from meta.ai. There are lots of image creation tools out there, but Meta’s was the most fun, that I played with it with my daughter. I’m curious about what they learn about me based on how I use these tools.

Setting up a process to select an AI model to build into future systems seems a little crazy when we’re working in a time of radical change. How does one make a firm decision when everything might change tomorrow.

Just got a letter from “Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada” ISED letting me know that there are issues with my trademark application filed Oct 13, 2021. That’s crazy. How can a department of Innovation & Science take over 4 years to look at an application?

Was on the computer clicking away hoping to secure an elusive one-week summer camp slot for my daughter this morning. Got it - they were all sold out immediately after. When did kids activities become like concerts tickets, and what is broken in our system that this is the norm?

How good is The Masters app? Why can’t all sports apps be this good. Or at least why can’t the PGA licence it?

With the release of Perplexity’s Comet, and OpenAI’s response that theirs is coming, I’m wondering what the impact is on tourism businesses. If the AI companies put all the content creators out of business (fortunately not us), where are they going to get their information from?

I’ve been invited to go to Incheon and present on AI’s impact on tourism at an APEC regulatory workshop on the 28th. Also presenting are govt relations folks from Google & MSFT plus Expedia and Booking. And govt from Japan, Korea and Malaysia. This should be fun.

Heading for the Incheon airport after presenting at the APEC workshop on AI and Tourism. My presentation - Welcome to the In Between - focussed on the need for DMOs to change their approach to visitor engagement online as we move towards Google Zero. It seemed well received.

Why are the AI companies not liable for hallucinations? If I make a decision based on information provided by an AI tool, and it turns out that that tool just lied and made up the answer, why is the company that made that tool liable for the consequences?
