Isn't hoarding data for training purposes a key part of OpenAI's business model? I get that they don't have a reputation for selling that data (or access to it) yet , but, what happens if/when funding dries up? I defin

That's surprising to me. (I won't be like the other commenter and say it is "shocking" or "bizarre". Just surprising.) To answer your original question: I worked exclusively with Fortune 500 customers, as a ven

That’s interesting, because I read the article and it seems like a straightforward rant against billboards. The discussion here - except for your comment - is about either billboards or advertising in general. If the article is really a m

This sounds like a Utopian idea that in practice would result in a lot of self-dealing and outright fraud on the part of the influencers you’re hypothecating. Hard pass.

Sure. I probably have done something like that. What I’ve not done is seen a motocyclist in front of me , then decided it wasn’t really there, and then hit said motorcyclist.

Customers frequently want two conflicting things: change and stability. In enterprise software sales, a lot of time and energy get wasted arguing about features the customer will never use . Post deployment, those same people will scream
