There are teams that are innovative, and there are teams that stay focused on the features of their solutions. The innovative teams rely on durable knowledge that was built earlier about people’s personal rules, emotional states, and thinking style.

"On the human side [of AI], it’s about understanding how people are actually using the new technology, and why" Business transformation and AI transformation are about human behaviour & change management. Pragmatic tips to develop your own AI viewpoint, outside the noise. hbr.org/2025/11/maki...

Platform product management is as valuable as ever:

Good design isn’t just about looks. It’s about understanding how people think, feel, and behave. Design with empathy, simplicity, and clarity. Every button, color, and layout tells a story. Make sure it’s one that resonates.

the world doesn’t need more beauty, it needs more people who actually notice it

The expense of serving content to the AI crawlers may not be huge if it’s mostly text. The bigger point is AI systems disintermediate the user & publisher relationship. Users prefer aggregated AI answers over clicking through websites to find their answers.

Digital access is not merely a matter of credentials and permissions but a dynamic responsibility that requires organizations to treat identity as a living asset, adapting it continuously to people, context, and risk. #CyberSecurity #DigitalTrust #IAM

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum of students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth.

1/2 How is supporting #human complexity & variety valuable to orgs? - the future of #business won't belong to the speediest; it will belong to the deepest listeners - orgs can escape the trap of collapsing to one average solution

How can we bring the business value they want? Humans are intelligent. Employees are intelligent. We adapt to changing contexts. When teams expect that intelligence, the org can get ahead in the market. Support the human intelligence, rather than constrain it. (or #addict it)

Communication issues can derail even the best product plans

We want good outcomes for people. Measuring checkpoints by outcomes, according to thinking style. Map the problem space, not just the "user experience."

Smart cities cannot simply layer security onto infrastructure—they must embed cybersecurity into their design logic, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, availability, safety, and resilience are proactively addressed from the outset. #CyberSecurity #SmartCities

A company that truly leads with technology doesn't treat IT as an add-on but as a strategic compass, where each tech choice reflects a clear intent to adapt, differentiate, and deepen its capacity to create lasting value across the board. #Technology #DigitalLeadership #BusinessStrategy

Denmark is changing copyright laws to prevent deep fakes and to “ensure that everybody has the right to their own body, facial features and voice.”

If *you* have dealt with AI in your workplace—if your boss is forcing it on you or your team, if it's causing your freelance work to dry up, if a manager is threatening to replace you with it, or even if it's made your life wonderful!—I want to hear about it. Send stories to [email protected].

The partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft in many ways hinges on the definition of artificial general intelligence, creating a tension that has spilled over into OpenAI research that has not been made public. www.wired.com/story/openai...

(comic) Wonder why

I lost a major product initiative because I couldn't "prove the ROI." If you're a PM dealing with ROI pressure, this will save you a lot of pain. After helping a few fellow PMs with this, here's what actually works 🔍

If you inherit a product with massive tech debt, then your first 30 days will define if your engineers stay or quit. I've watched 5 engineering teams implode because their PMs made the same mistakes. For 4 years, I had to fix a few such disasters. Here's what actually works:

Yesterday, MIT Technology Review published a first-of-its-kind look at AI’s energy use and the resulting climate impact. Here’s how our reporters waded through a mess of data and hidden variables to calculate all of it.

AI data centers are driving a surge in new natural-gas power plants around the country. What does that mean for our clean-energy aspirations?

The healthy solution to conflict

I can study all my life: Denmark pays students $1,000 a month to go to universities, with no tuition fees

Congratulations to @flashes.blue for their official launch on the App Store 🎉🎉🎉 It’s an instagram alternative built on the AT protocol 🙌 all the visual scrolling with none of the Meta algorithm

I was fortunate enough to work with Bracy a long time ago at Code for America so I can easily and without reservation say that this book will be both brilliant and essential.

Content moderation policies aren’t just guidelines, @arianaaboulafia.bsky.social writes in @techpolicypress.bsky.social. “Instead, they are a set of normative decisions that reflect and contribute to senses of right and wrong, of what belongs and what does not.”

📢 App Version 1.98 is rolling out now, including: (1/5) • a new option for who can reply to your posts • search posts by a user • lots of little improvements to make the app feel better!

How to be a critical thinker: 1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to those you disagree with 2. Find flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in views you dislike 3. Discount sources that peddle one narrative—and learn from those that explore competing ideas

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn. Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday. Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

What I hope you take from this is that you actually need to help people get to where you're at. That is work which *you* have to do. You cannot simply say "it's not my job to educate you" I understand it's exhausting and many people truly should not have to take that on. But those who can should.

Obsidian 1.8 is now available to all for desktop and mobile! A few highlights: - Web viewer. New core plugin lets you open external links in Obsidian on desktop for web research. - iCloud sync should load faster on mobile. - New "Download attachments for current file" command.

Good design is often invisible. But its impact can be really tangible.

A Canadian startup called Xanadu has built a new quantum computer it says can be easily scaled up to achieve the computational power needed to tackle scientific challenges ranging from drug discovery to more energy-efficient machine learning.

Communities are the "operating system" for humans. We thrive or falter based on the strength of our communities; they set the floor and ceiling for what we believe is possible.
