5 Minute Friday - Working Alongside the Machines
ChatGPT was the iPhone moment for AI, and things are moving insanely quickly. What do generative AI models mean for us, especially children, who are arguably the last of the Pre-AI generation? I dive into some thoughts this week about how we need to work alongside the machines, the impact of generative AI on kids, and so on. Buckle up. We are in for a very interesting next few years as we sort out where AI fits into our day-to-day lives.

5 Minute Friday - Is Data Modeling on Life Support?
Is data modeling on life support? I posed this question to LinkedIn earlier this week. It got a fair number of replies, some supportive and others saying I'm full of sh*t. In this 5 minute Friday nerdy rant, I unpack what I mean by data modeling being on life support, and where I think data modeling needs to go given newer practices like streaming and machine learning, which aren't currently discussed in data modeling circles.
