… which means that it is just 30 seconds long. Worth a listen?

Apple could perhaps have made that distinction a little less archaeological.

.. absolutely they could .. thanks for your help ChatGPT.

We keep learning that ‘against’ is insufficient (take the last US election as a clear example) .. we need to answer ‘for’ … not only do we continually fail to learn that lesson we also seem to constantly rediscover the knowledge.

Not an auspicious start. I wanted to test what Siri ‘knows’. To be fair, phone not finished indexing so maybe that is part of the challenge - coupled with the fact that The Overview isn’t his latest album, although his latest album isn’t fully released either so a little bit of a trick question.

👁️ I really do not like the new Safari icon.

👁️ 'Flapping Shoe' - great new name for POTUS 47 - so symbolic, and an honest representation of this once great nation.

👁️ Earlier today, I was told that ‘A1’, pronounced ‘AONE’, is very dangerous. She'd read an article in Stuff warning that 'A1' posed a threat to the human race.

She was surprised I hadn’t read it. Her understanding was that I knew about this sort of thing.

Apple iPhone Event First Impressions - Asymco

The results will be seen in the language: in response to a question, people will say "My iPhone says this". Not Google, not ChatGPT, not Claude. My iPhone is the authority. And my assistant.

Or ‘my InteractivePersonalHubONE is the authority’.

Charlie: He said "Now what sort of husband was he"? "Oh", she said "one of the best. You couldn't wish for a better one". She said, "We used to lie in bed, Sunday mornings, and hear the church bells ringing. We used to go up with the ding and come down with the dong". And she'd say "if it hadn't been for that fire engine going by, at the bloody time, he'd be alive now".

'The Creator Economy' is over and 'The Affinity Economy' is here.

I don't live in the ‘xyz economy’ worlds - 🖇️ far too many to keep track of. BUT for a while now I have been talking and writing about the global movement from ‘Systems of Record’ to ‘Systems of Engagement’ - and the need for people and businesses to not throw away all of their systems and ‘drop in a new stack’ - but rather to start to think differently about what they already have and how to use that to ‘engage for the future’ and not ‘broadcast history’.

On that we seem to be aligned.

Over at 🔗 eg Innovations .. they have been thinking about ‘team alignment’ .. this short analysis tool is an interesting gateway to getting to answers as well as getting a better understanding of your own environment.

One person's answers give you a data point. Ask your infrastructure, operations, application, service delivery and workplace teams to complete it independently, and you may find everyone has a different view of how well your monitoring actually performs. That gap between answers is the insight.
