Sweet Reason with a dose of Common Sense
I’VE DONE MY BEST to stay away from the AI hype machine. It hasn’t been easy. That’s because so many influential people have jumped on the Artificial Intelligence bandwagon, fueling both giddy excitement, and sometimes, fears of gloom and doom. But don’t look to me for any great insight on that. I’m a lower-your-expectations kind
Editor’s Note: My usual Monday wrap-up is taking a break this week, but here’s a classic Skeptical Guy post back from May 2019 that seems oddly appropriate in the Age of AI. EVEN I GET SURPRISED when I see something like this: The Wall Street Journal reports that companies are now turning to robots to
LEAVE IT TO Josh Bersin to push an old-school management practice in a AI-focused, 21st Century world. This past week, Josh had an interesting blog post titled The Labor Market Has Totally Changed: Are You Really Ready? As always, he made some great points about how the labor market has changed as Baby Boomers like me
I’M NOT GOING TO spend a lot of time writing about the ebb and flow or the ups and downs of Artificial Intelligence. There’s already a TON of that coming from everywhere else. This isn’t a big surprise. As I wrote here recently, “You’ll be seeing a lot more stories about the overhyping of AI

In fact, Josh headlines so many of these events that I posed this question over on TLNT after last October’s big HR Technology event in Las Vegas: “What will conferences like this do

You may be hearing it more these days, and it’s this: Perhaps the AI hype was a little overblown. Case in point: A timely story from Computerworld
YOU DON’T REALLY KNOW what a four-day work week is like until you actually work one. I know how it is because I found myself working one (more on that shortly) back near the beginning of my career. And you quickly learn this: once you work a four-day work week, you NEVER want to go
I LIKE LAS VEGAS, probably because I have been visiting Sin City since I was a boy. It helps when you live in SoCal and it’s only a four hour drive away. For the last 20 plus years, my trips to southern Nevada were scheduled around conferences held there because I edited and managed a
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO END to the creative (some might say strange) uses for Artificial Intelligence and ChatGPT. Here’s a new one I had not heard of before: appealing a New York City parking ticket. Wilfred Chan, writing in Fast Company, told his tale in a story titled I asked ChatGPT to contest my parking ticket. What followed
I LIKE FORTUNE COOKIES almost as much as I like Kung Pao chicken, but the actual “fortunes” leave a lot of room for improvement. You know what I’m talking about — “fortunes” that say things like: A friend is a present you give yourself. All your hard work will soon pay off. Believe in yourself and others will too. Depart not from
