3/ Vendors talk to (and compete with) each other convincing themselves that the recommended pace of adoption for their emerging techs is totally acceptable. Confirmation bias distorts reality of what’s reasonable and stable enough to be implemented and returned on the investment

Stunning. This is not just about the MAX. If Boeing was so relaxed about it, how many other planes are they relaxed about? Their whole credibility is at stake > The Roots of Boeing’s 737 Max Crisis: A Regulator Relaxes Its Oversight https://t.co/VyGUX5dPm3

After 7y experience in the media industry with https://t.co/BoMpGhNroI, I’ve been thinking A LOT about this topic. > “Do we create value?” and a huge chunk of readers go, “Nah.”

Why do media companies struggle to produce anything of value? https://t.co/E8Ckv16OL8

I’m especially sensitive about this topic. I have to curate (and have curate) every aspect of my personal and professional life because nobody else is good at it. All the #AI we have is useless for this task > Surrendering curation and promotion https://t.co/An0DDKMNUL

“The single best way to figure out how people feel isn’t to ask them with some focus-group survey. It’s to watch what they do when given the choice. “This or that?” is a great way to get to the truth of our preferences.” >
