#OpenAI just released its new "Strawberry" model, which "performs similarly to PhD students", confirming it by saying it's "still flawed, still limited, and it still seems more impressive on first use than it does after you spend more time with it."😜 #AI bit.ly/3MGT5JQ

Insightful article as always from David Knott, especially for anyone in a corporate or technology role! - Are you under attack from your corporate immune system? | LinkedIn bit.ly/3yXJXNU

#Apple Intelligence, running on their new Private #Cloud Compute platform, promises much better #AI privacy and #security, while counter-intuitively also offering an ability to audit it! This interesting article details how it actually works: bit.ly/3XFZsn1

Nobody has any idea when a real #quantum computer will actually impact enterprise tech, but NIST wants companies to upgrade their #security sooner rather than later. bit.ly/3Tro8NA

US targets advanced #AI and #cloud firms with new compliance reporting proposal. A wise safeguard, or just stifling innovation??? bit.ly/4d06R5b

Cloud Debt - when shortcuts are taken, or foundational missteps are made during #cloud migration and management. Wasn’t the cloud supposed to solve the trespasses of legacy IT? Only if you prioritize good architecture and best practices to get it right! bit.ly/47slywo

5 reasons why #cloud computing skills are still in high demand bit.ly/3ze48XZ

Despite some significant leadership changes, #OpenAI's DevDay announcements bring some interesting new features for #AI app developers, like Realtime API tcrn.ch/4dB8Mx3

"#Cloud computing acts as a catalyst for digital transformation ... its inherent scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness enable businesses to adopt new technologies and processes more rapidly" - worth remembering! It's not all about cost saving! bit.ly/3ZKvD67

This article captures two key realities of #cloud today: "#GenAI projects are driving cloud adoption and boosting interest in cloud native practices" and "the full value of the public cloud can only be unlocked by modernising applications during migration" bit.ly/4eQ0hiZ

“It’s not just about the technology... #Cloud should be viewed as a strategic enabler rather than merely a new technology to deploy.” bit.ly/47S0rUP

Is true #AI autonomy is a worthwhile strategic investment or the decade’s most costly distraction? The difference between AI Agents and AI Assistants, and why a Roomba is closer to a true agent than many proclaimed "AI Agents" - great article by Julia Winn bit.ly/3ZN1V0x

Booked in for the #Azure #AI Fundamentals exam shortly, so brushing up using some Microsoft learning content. Not sure how to take the example used in the Responsible Generative AI section on content filters...🤔 #Scottish #GenAI

Interesting to see quantified research showing when public #cloud become less cost-effective for #AI workloads: "When a given AI workload reaches 60-70% of what it would cost to purchase and operate dedicated GPU-powered infrastructure..." itprotoday.com/cloud-computin…

Got back to the Glasgow Azure UG for the first time in ages last night and shared some great conversations with some of the other attendees! Thanks again to Sarah (Sarah Lean 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿) and Gregor (Gregor Suttie | T-Shaped Azure Architect ™) for organising - keep up the good work! #cloud #azure #glasgow #community

Beginning to understand how people in IT with the names 'Claude' and 'Alexa' have been feeling as they read documentation of their name-sake services... Don't get me wrong, I think Docker have chosen an excellent name for their new #AI agent! #Gordon docker.com/blog/container…

As organizations adopt #AI services they introduce new challenges around cost management! Some are the same as any new #cloud architecture, but some are unique to AI such as metrics like cost-per-token. This paper from FinOps Foundation helps: finops.org/wg/finops-for-… #FinOps
