Great to hear that #AgenticAI Foundation (AAIF) is officially launched under #Linux Foundation (lnkd.in/gUxysspp), bringing together core #opensource standards and tools from Anthropic, OpenAI and Block lnkd.in/gMSBUmNp www.linkedin.com/posts/shishs... #AIagents #AI

Block, Anthropic, OpenAI, and other leaders in AI are launching the Agentic #AI Foundation (AAIF) to ensure #agenticAI develops as an open, collaborative ecosystem block.xyz/inside/block...

I love this perspective: If you’re #vibecoding, you might as well do it in C: It produces real, robust systems. The point isn’t human-readable elegance but machine-readable efficiency stephenramsay.net/posts/vibe-c... #AI

just spotted one of these on the streets of #seattle en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_... ... The Nissan Figaro. It looks like it rolled straight out of a Studio #Ghibli film.

With 2025 coming to a close, here’s a brief look at the Audio TLDRs on 𝑺𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒔 & 𝑺𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒔 that stood out with listeners: a clear sign that 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑬𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑶𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (𝑮𝑬𝑶) was top of mind this year www.linkedin.com/posts/shishs... #retail #AI

I just listened to the The Coca-Cola Company episode of the Acquired #podcast, and it was full of great stories. Beyond the history of Coca-Cola itself, I ended up learning quite a bit about how the #beverage and #CPG industry really works www.linkedin.com/posts/shishs... #retail

#Retail is changing faster than expected. #AIAgents, Spatial Models, Store IQ, and intention systems are starting to reshape everything. These are the technologies I will be watching in 2026: www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-a... #innovation #startups #trends

AI opens the door to new kinds of dangerous situations. Years ago, someone faked a traffic jam with 99 phones: www.wired.com/story/99-pho... Now we’re seeing how #AI can amplify these risks in the real world: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Maybe the next big breakthrough isn’t bigger #GPU farms, but a new paradigm that delivers intelligence without the massive capex, power, or heat. If today’s #AI stack feels unsustainable, that only raises the odds the next wave will redefine "compute" www.businessinsider.com/ibm-ceo-big-...

Interesting insight: dynamic pricing agents have been shown to drift into unintended pricing collusion. A good reminder that in #AgenticCommerce, autonomous agents can create market behaviors we never explicitly design www.quantamagazine.org/the-game-the... #Retail #AI #AgenticAI

#AgenticAI is shaping up to be the architectural successor to #microservices, & #headlesscommerce is evolving into #AgenticCommerce platforms where autonomous agents, not just APIs, drive the flow of #retail
