Most robotics companies seem to be focused on building humanoids. And if they’re not humanoid, they tend to resemble other things familiar to us like dogs or cars. There does not appear to be a lot of innovation around truly new structures or approaches. Why? Because our world is inhabited and built by humans.

Suddenly humans became more than slightly advanced primates and we started creating art, building advanced tools, forging long-distance trade alliances and practicing religion. It was this cognitive revolution that started us on the path that led to where we are today. Most anthropologists agree …

If my dog wants something from me, he says so. AI-enabled devices want something from me too. They just won't say what it is.

Whenever tech platforms hit operational disruptions or inventory limits, they don't reduce prices. Instead, they introduce new automated formats and adjust auction dynamics.

The linear TV ad industry is finally on the verge of experiencing a massive wave of automation.

Someone on your team needs to own the question of what AI platforms are saying about you, not just whether they are saying anything at all.

We need a reliable zeitgeist to set our personal compass to. Instead, we're seeing an algorithmically defined slice of zeitgeist, served exclusively to us.

The McConnell version is more complex then the original thought experiment, Schrodinger's cat. We opened the box, and we're still arguing about whether the cat is dead.
