Microsoft’s Build conference was a firehose: in-house AI models, agent-first devices, new coding tools, and a Copilot “super app” that got teased but not yet shown.

This week on the GeekWire Podcast, we’re joined by Mary Jo Foley to understand what’s ready and what’s not quite yet fully baked, from Project Solara and the Scout agentic assistant to Microsoft’s push for AI self-sufficiency and the mounting pressure on GitHub.

IoT Coffee Talk: Episode 316 - "FOFU" (The Fear of F'ing Up in the Era of Distrust)

1 Share
From: Iot Coffee Talk
Duration: 1:06:38
Views: 516

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk, where hype comes to die a terrible death. We have a fireside chat about all things #IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format.

This week Stephanie, David, Alistair, Rob, and Leonard jump on Web3 for a discussion about:

🎶 🎙️ BAD KARAOKE! 🎸 🥁 "5150", Van Halen
🐣 San Antonio, a hot bed for the NBA and tech in Texas!
🐣 Why everyone pretends to be an AI expert and an FDE.....
🐣 Leonard's 20+-years of experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer. LOL!!
🐣 Will the end of times be brought on by human silliness, not the Terminator?
🐣 The impact of paid-to-play, stock price influencing, influencers on the analyst profession.
🐣 The problem of mass misconceptions of tech thanks to GenAI-powered search & media.
🐣 Gaming the nonsense. Is an angry person's rant on Reddit a good basis for AI fact?
🐣 The illusion of recursive self-learning and the continuous exaggeration of AI.
🐣 The bag of contradictions and inconsistencies that is the fast-rolling AI story.
🐣 Solving solved problems with AI with more compute and more complexity.
🐣 Cisco's virtuous cycle of AI FAFO and safe AI discovery.
🐣 Why trusted institutions can't trust you?
🐣 Did NVIDIA disrupt the PC market or are they just slow-following..... Apple! 4-years late.
🐣 The toxicity of the "blameless" corporate culture. How do you trust a vendor who won't be accountable!

It's a great episode. Grab an extraordinarily expensive latte at your local coffee shop and check out the whole thing. You will get all you need to survive another week in the world of IoT and greater tech!
