IPOs are coming out of the woodwork in a heated market that defies the imagination. There has been an unprecedented loss in productivity around the globe, yet the markets continue soaring to new highs. In the words of Mr. Dickens, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” It’s always a […]
The larger a corporation becomes, the more processes are needed to control things, and sometimes you end up with a buzzword-laden monstrosity that’s nearly impossible to figure out. Warren Buffet often advises to “invest in what you know,” which is perhaps why IBM turned out to be one of his biggest investment mistakes. As longtime […]
We write an awful lot about artificial intelligence. Sometimes it might seem like so much hype that the AI bubble is primed to burst any day now. Our perspective is that AI and its related technologies – machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, natural language processing, and computer vision – is the new electricity. Pretty […]
We’re not going to lie to you. Sitting around all day researching the crap out of various technology topics, and then giving said research away for free, is a bit disheartening at times.

Artificial intelligence (AI) shows a lot of promise yet some of the most recent news seems a bit alarming. Two AI agents were programed to communicate privately and they created their own cryptography. AI is now improving its capabilities by dreaming. And AI predicted correctly that Trump would win the presidency. Naturally, these events are […]
The Internet of Things (IoT) is this notion that eventually everything around us will be connected to “the cloud” with sensors and beacons so that suddenly we’ll have more big data than we know what to do with. We can then use artificial intelligence (machine learning to be exact) and start to gain all these incredible […]
If you’ve been keeping up with the latest technology trends then you will know that artificial intelligence has the potential to be perhaps the most disruptive technology ever.
