We are all struggling through a communications explosion. So, today, how should we "Reach-Out And Touch Someone?"

@jacobyaudio Let’s see, for starters….
• Over a dozen Muppets
• Woody, Jessie and Bullseye
• The Lego Star Wars team
• ChuckE Cheese
• A UK Double Decker bus
• Asoka and Grogu XL Funko Pops
And I think there’s a Nutcracker in there
This is my 134th article on Linkedin. 133 of them are only about my industry. This one is only about me – and it’s a touch long. That’s your fair warning that if my story would bore you, save the time and stop reading now.

My latest story. File this one under the alternate title, "Didn't you folks learn anything from the fables you were read as a child?" With apologies to Aesop of course....

We need to calm the heck down with all the AI hype (and heck was not my first choice of words there.) Here’s your first warning that the AI Emperor has no clothes.

My latest LinkedIn Blog is about thermometers, Alexa and change for change's sake. Does your hardware or service provider care what you think as their user? They should...
Did you hear about the airplane that had a side panel blow off during flight? Now all 737 Max 9 jets are grounded by the FAA.
I've said before that this is a plane that should never have been built, and it was brought to market for all the wrong reasons.
Here is a blog I wrote about a year ago that details the downfall of the airline manufacturer - with a link to a documentary you MUST see.
@AlexJimenez Dunning-Kruger at it's best.
Happy Holidays Alex!

For this week’s AI Friday I’m reprinting the blog I wrote earlier in the week. Its key message is not to trust any AI demonstration that you haven’t performed yourself.

The truth about #AI demos is that you should only trust the ones you perform yourselves.

#AI Friday Number 29 – AI Maelstrom
Maelstrom is the best word to describe the flurry of AI news this past week. It started with an agreement between Meta and IBM to “support innovation and open” AI science, and then brought us Google’s Gemini announcement. Have you followed everything?

#AI Friday Number 28 – The Q Continuum
With apologies to Star Trek and John de Lancie, there is a new Q in town and it is a friend of Alexa’s. At this week’s AWS re:Invent 2023 Amazon launched their new Generative AI service “Q” defined as “a new type of generative artificial intelligence-(AI) powered assistant that is specifically for work and that can be tailored to a customer’s business.”

The 2023 Danto Family Holiday Greeting Video Card!
For the 27th year, the Danto Family is sending our greetings of the season electronically! It’s the annual reminder from us that no matter what happens in life, nothing is more important than our time with family – and friends. Some call this effort “hokey” or “old-fashioned” but I believe that focusing on family and sharing joyful experiences is one of the things that separates us from AI.
Our card is here: https://youtu.be/pKpCdRlt9es
#AI Friday Number 27 – PAIton Place?
Look, sorry, I can’t beat the actual news this week. If you haven’t been watching what’s been going on with Open AI, Sam Altman and various third parties like Microsoft and Salesforce then I can’t help you with a Friday #AI recap article. I just muse about the ongoing soap opera.

An AI Fairy Tale as told by ChatGPT with apologies to Edward Everett Horton

Waking-up super early today to catch the dawn flight to Vegas for the Total Tech Summit. While I'm looking forward to being a panelist and discussing interoperability, I still feel an ache remembering the last time I presented at that event when my friend, the late John Greene was one of my panelists.
Never take the joys of life for granted. Live every day to the fullest.
Be sure to tune into the DantoReport.com every Monday at 10am.
See you then!
