This month marks a year since I took on my current and most technical role of my career. I didn’t intend to keep it a secret. Really, it just didn’t factor much into my writing. By this point, I’m implying it clearly has. The role has exposed me to a variety of computer systems created…
Many technology leaders agree that while AI could be hugely beneficial to humans, it could also be misused or, through negligence, terminally damage humanity. But looking to governments to address this problem without guidance would be foolish given that politicians often don’t even understand the technology they’ve used for years, let alone something that just…
Over at the E-Commerce Times, my friend John Mello published a piece on the broad price drops and causes for them as reported by Adobe. The market has contracted, and vendors in various industries are dropping prices, so the relative cost of their products falls below others. This strategy potentially increases demand so they can,…
Last week I said goodbye to my 2019 Jaguar I-Pace electric car, and it is with mixed emotions I write this column as a result. On the positive side, I enjoyed this car more than any other car I’ve driven, and I’ve driven many cars, including exotics. But the death of my I-Pace showcases several…
Adopting generative AI into technology is potentially more significant than when the internet was introduced. It is disrupting most creative efforts and isn’t near as capable as it will be by the end of the decade. Gen AI will force us to rethink how we communicate, how we collaborate, how we create, how we solve…
The speed at which AI seems to be advancing is unbelievable. Before the end of last year, most of us thought that AI wouldn’t be individually useful for a few years yet. Then ChatGPT hit, backed by GPT-3 technology, followed quickly by GPT-4, and suddenly, we are surrounded by artificial intelligence that can improve our…
Microsoft last week announced that, just as it did with .NET years ago, it will be putting generative AI into everything, including security. Back in the .NET days, I joked that Microsoft was so over the top with .Net that the bathrooms were renamed Men.net and Women.net. Many of those efforts didn’t make a ton…
Spatial audio has excited the audio market ever since Apple announced movie and TV content supporting it in iOS 14 at the WWDC event in June 2020. Spatial audio essentially delivers surround sound and 3D audio through headphones via dynamic head tracking. Typically, it’s not a feature found in traditional audio speakers. Over the past…
Microsoft just announced that it’s putting generative AI into Windows 11, but we are still at the very beginning of the changes access to this technology will bring. Some jobs will get easier, some more valuable, and many will become obsolete. No matter what you do for a living, there is a good chance AI,…
Last week, Mercedes-Benz held a special event covering the future of Mercedes cars and vehicles altogether. Mercedes-Benz is one of the great automotive manufacturers in the world. Famous for quality, performance, design, and technology, Mercedes often stands above its peers. While many in the U.S. believe Henry Ford created the first automobile, it was actually…
