I did my first AI project back in 2018. Not because we wanted to “do AI,” but because we had a very concrete business problem. The objective was to improve the intake of tickets in our customer service organization. Using more than 200,000 messages and their classifications as training
TL;TD: AI is very good at writing code, but software development is mostly about non-functional requirements, context, and environment—areas where AI only works well with strong human guidance. The author’s week-long experiment using Claude Code with Jesse Vincent’s “superpowers” plugin showed that AI can meaningfully support
tl;tr - Christian Simpson is running a youtube channel focused on retro computing (of which I never heard of before). While the first computer I laid hands on was a Commodore VC-20, I spend much more time with the Commodore 64. Admittedly, mostly playing. My journey into programming and
The number of new tools popping up and the updates on the "old" tools in #AI is mindblowing. Every week, the new "best in .." gets out and while I am keen to try out new stuff, learn and try to bring tools into my personal productivity
Or at least, don’t go to work the way you used to. I don’t mean your mode of transportation, and I don’t mean the debate between working from home and going to an office—though both are interesting topics in their own right. And yes, remote work
I took the train to Lugano and contemplated about the new connections (which in the end did not work out at all, but that's another story). One of the thoughts was worth the title of a novel and I too to ChatGPT for some creative play. It came
#personal #geekstuff - knowing is not understanding When entering unchartered territory I always try to set myself an attainable objective as a first milestone. Just to keep myself motivated and go for the more complex things with a "it works!" and a successful first step in my mind.
If you feel intimidated by the posts on LinkedIn how "leadership" has to work and what "a great leader is", mostly by people who try to position themselves as the next best consultant to help you becoming a great leader..read this book. Jeffrey Pfeffer is
..vom Schweizer Bundesverwaltungsgericht. Mit dem Titel "Die künstliche Intelligenz ist nicht Erfinderin" veröffentlicht das Schweizer Bundesverwaltungsgericht im Juni diesen Jahres das Urteil B-2532/2024 und weist die Beschwerde des Beschwerdeführers in zwei Punkten zurück. Stephen Thaler ist Physiker und hat sich eigenen Angaben nach seit langer Zeit mit
Adventures in MCP You likely know the interface of ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. You ask something the tool does something. I liked to use ChatGPT for dictation while driving, which was a very helpful application. But when I said "send me an email with the text"
You're standing in your favorite store, your shopping cart filled with all the items you need. You're ready to check out, either at the self-service kiosk or with a cashier. Suddenly, you remember your loyalty card. You frantically search through your pockets, but it's
When I launched my first company in 1995, automating processes and scaling customer service were crucial to our success. Manually handling tasks for 100 customers is feasible, but when dealing with 1,000, 10,000, or even half a million customers, automation and a dedicated team become essential. I typically
The name “virtual private network” sounds quite complex: it’s virtual, it’s private, there’s a network—and it’s protecting you. For us end users, the “VPN” is typically just a simple “secure tunnel.” Through this tunnel, we can communicate. Because we’re inside the tunnel, the only
Let's look at the facts first: I use half the energy than I would with a diesel engine. For these 40tkm I used 12'800 kWh of energy. Assuming that a similar car would consume 6.6l of Diesel per 100km, I would have needed 2'
Or: What I learned from the Gigaset-Deseaster To make things short - Gigaset, a former Siemens company, had a smart home product line. While super proprietary, I thought the price to be ok and the features were enough for me. Then, Gigaset went into bankrupcy and the insolvency lawyers failed
Bestraft werden ja die anderen. Eine Firma hat eine Software bereitgestellt, die Online-Shopping und Warenwirtschaftssysteme miteinander verbindet. Weil anscheinend die Leistungsfähigkeit dieser Software unzureichend war, hat sich jemand angesehen, was diese Software macht. Dabei sind zwei Dinge aufgefallen, die im Jahr 2023 unverständlich und unfassbar sind. Der Blog-Beitrag, der die
AI won't replace your ERP system, but it will make it smarter, faster, and more adaptable. The combination of ERP’s reliability with AI’s strategic capabilities will allow your organization to maximize operational efficiency and reduce costs. Listen to the Podcast The Current Role of AI: Transactional,
Or, if it does make sushi, it is not cooking the rice at the right temperature. Forget about AI. I hope this example sounds awkward enough to point out that there's no point in looking for something that a software can not do and then proclaim that the
Last week I attended a workshop around inclusion and the starting point of the discussion was to make us aware of "the bias we are". That was a good eye opener and reminder of the fact that bias is part of us as humans and likely a successful
Before the invention of the steam engine, manual labour could only be replaced by animals or water power. The iconic fountain in Geneva is a testimony to water powered machinery in Geneva's watchmaking industry. With the availability of steam engines, you did not need to be close to
Last week I had the opportunity to learn from students in engaging and critical discussions around #AI and #Leadership. One thing I said in that discussion is that I don't use #AI to write posts and articles because I do not like the tone of what ChatGPT produces.
With a price tag of 16k USD for the basic version, Unitree enters the realm of the possible when you shied away from the 100k USD invest for a humanoid robot. Since I saw the video, I'm thinking about the cool things we could do with his robot.
..collaborator or employee? The very short answer is: Because we will only be successfull in a sustainable fashion if we work as a team. That's an easy one. Now for the complicated stuff. Don't trust the happy ones In line with what Jeffrey Pfeffer wrote in
I truly believe that we can add value to society by applying #AI in our processes and the things we do "in general". What struck me this week though was the statement of an entrepreneur who explained that he founded a company to create #AI-powered applications "à
