@dropbox is an excellent example of working towards "The Rule of 40" but as you'll read in this article from @Saastr, the rocketship that is Dropbox is so much more than just a growing profitable company - especially considering that they've recently seen slower growth in their main product offering and even new product offerings. The key point here is that they understand the need to continue to innovate, insert AI, and work towards operational efficiency. 5 Interesting Learnings from DropBox at $2.5 Billion in ARR | SaaStr https://lnkd.in/g_4wAkF6 .

Great conversation at SXSW on AI, AGI and Amazon with Axios' Ryan Heath, who was thoughtful in his exploration of tech fundamentals, public trust, personalization for neurodivergent populations, and advice for startups. If you missed it, catch the video.

The thing about 'big tech', is that the top 5 companies have pretty much all the talent. However... The good thing about that is that, every now and then, these supremely talented, top 1% type people, emerge from their computers and converge in specific, secret locations. When they do so, they reveal all! All of their experience, their skills, knowledge and learnings from working on designing and building some of the most bleeding edge technologies and use cases that exist today. One such location, as unlikely as it may seem, is the Museum of London. And one such meeting is happening... Next week! That's right, at UNPARSED, you'll have the opportunity to hear from the likes of Lisa Falkson and Kristie Kotch of Amazon, Elaine A. of Meta, Josephine Scholtes of Microsoft, Karen Kaushansky and Cathy Pearl of Google, Daniel P. of Google DeepMind. These are the people that write the books you learn your #conversationdesign craft from. The people that design the products you use everyday, like Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. The people that are shaping the future of how you live, work and get things done. All together. All sharing. All... At Unparsed. 3 days to go! #ai #genai #llms #aidesign #unparsed24 --- unparsedconf.com - promo code VUXWORLD... There's still time...

The power of a verb In 2003, amidst the dynamic landscape of Silicon Valley, I received a call that would forever alter my professional trajectory. The company on the other end of the line shared a vision crafted on September 3, 1995: to connect people and build communities to create economic opportunity for all. This call wasn't just about a job opportunity; it was a summons to grasp the significance of world impact that information, access to it, and science around it, could have in everyone’s lives. With a simple yet profound inquiry of "how can I help?" I embarked on a journey with eBay where my passion for the “information consumer” at scale took off. But it was before my arrival in San Jose, CA, that another seismic shift was unfolding. On September 4, 1998, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two PhD students at Stanford University, laid the cornerstone for what would become one of the most influential companies of our time: Google. Their humble beginnings in a Menlo Park garage not only birthed a groundbreaking search engine but also introduced a verb that would redefine our relationship with information—'to Google.' The power of a verb is that it compels action and actions take us places we never knew we could reach. After over 12 years in the B2B2C world and almost 30 years in data science and the AI space, it is an honor and a privilege to start a new professional chapter alongside Prabhakar Raghavan, Catherine Courage, and Elizabeth Reid and their esteemed team of leaders responsible for Google’s most beloved products. As the VP of Data Science & Engineering, my talented team and I aim to become the evidence-based science-rooted “headlights” that help inspire, inform and accelerate the evolution of everyday interactions with information. I'm excited for the opportunity to grow 99,000 information interactions per second while making them more useful, actionable, human-centered, safe, inclusive, and joyful, pushing the boundaries of what applied AI can bring at Google-scale. image generated by Gemini.

I would like to share my first project at Feynn Labs under the guidance of Sanjay Basumatary. the Dynamic Pricing Optimization Application. Utilizing AI, the idea empowers small and medium businesses with real-time price adjustments, enhancing profitability and competitiveness in e-commerce. Explored market needs, benchmarked with industry giants like Amazon and Walmart, considered patents and regulations, and proposed a subscription-based model. The GitHub repository contains detailed code for price predictions on laptop data, including EDA and feature engineering. Thrilled about this journey into AI-driven business innovation! #FeynnLabs #AI #DynamicPricing #BusinessInnovation

I had the opportunity to participate in a generative AI tabletop exercise with Amazon Web Services at an NACD Leading Minds event in Nashville. Our team debated tradeoffs and made board-level decisions that shaped the generative Al destiny of a fictional organization. My key take-aways: 1) Maintain a learning mindset. AI is growing and evolving rapidly. 2) Define risk appetite and develop an AI strategy that supports the business strategy of your organization. 3) Start with a few clearly defined, manageable use cases to learn and deliver value. 4) Communicate early and often to employees, partners, customers and shareholders.
