Interoperability Matters Look, I've been in tech long enough to see generations of formats come and go. Remember when floppy disks were floppy?When they were disks? When they...existed? I've got a 2TB memory stick on a cord around my neck right now (so I don't, uh, lose it). First off, compared to the 360KB 5 1/4" floppy - I'm carrying 5,555,556 of those disks around my neck. Which, at about 50g/disk, is 277.78 metric tons. Second, next time you hold a memory stick in your hand, just pause for a second - if you have a 2TB drive, you are holding in your hand, right at this very moment, over 2 trillion individual structures, objects that were manufactured. Did you every think that you'd be holding 2 trillion objects? I didn't.…

So, I was working on the series of articles on Retrieval Augmented Generation. As I was doing so, I asked Perplexity's "Deep Research" function to go find me some cool water analogies. I'm not sure what, exactly, I should have said differently, in addition, this was probably the wrong tool for the problem, but it, well. Hm. Let's just take a sec, and let me give you exactly what it came back with. Ahem. "Water Based Analogies for Critical Moments and Truth Revelation" Hydraulic System of Truth and Action The analogy of “where the wave meets the shore” mirrors “rubber meets the road,” >symbolizing the moment abstract plans confront reality. Just as waves shape >coastlines through repeated impact, ideas are tested and refined when exposed to real-world conditions. This reflects the…

Article 3/7: RAG, a Big ‘ol Table of Applications

So, I know that what I am about to say is going to come as somewhat of a shock. And so, it is with a sense of shame that tells you this: I wrote some of this series of articles using AI. Generative AI, nonetheless. In fact, I used Retrieval Augmented Generation. I did. Hi, I'm Seth, and I am a RAGhead. Uh, hm…. Maybe that joke didn’t come out quite right. Annnnneeeeyyyyhow. I mention this because of the following 3 reasons: I needed an introduction to this article, a "cold open" if you will, insofar as a business article about business technology can have one. I wanted to show you 100% genuine results from a RAG process I wanted to show you that low-rent RAG can be a highly useful,…

Article 2/7: RAG: Business Cases with Quantified Benefits

Welcome to article 2 of this series of 7 articles about Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). Soon we will need robust information systems to navigate this article itself. As a GenX'er, I'd like to apologize for my place in popularizing MTV and thus crushing our nation's cumulative attention span. Oh yes, I did just blame MTV for the way I have my blog set up. Wait until you see some of my other deflecting and projecting moves. As you peruse this article, just think to yourself: "If that's what they're willing to say out loud, imagine the cool stuff happening behind closed doors." And that's your mission for today - vividly imagine what RAG can do for you. I've given you a spiffy table of contents so that you can jump around…

Article 1/7: Turn Your Data Into an Edge: Retrieval Augmented Generation

I. Introduction What makes a company who it is? (No, really, this isn't some 'how many angels can dance' kind of question.). I would argue that there's several things - corporate culture, leadership, product set, history, and probably a few more that you can think of. And there's one thing that every single one of those things shares - the data collected over time. You have the HR data, you have the product performance data; you have the customer searches; you have the customer support; you have data, data, data. I don't know if you remember, but I remember (as does Pepperidge Farm), a time probably 15 years ago (maybe 20?) where we were all promised that if we just saved all this data, that we'd be able to turn it…

Perplexity Pages: Wrap Research in a Pretty but Too-Tight Bow.

Perplexity Pages: Wrap Research in a Pretty Bow This post will be a little unusual. It’s a post about a post – that’s about making posts. Let’s unwrap that. It’s a post about a post. Do me a favor, and don’t click this link quite yet: I’m the biggest fanboy ever of Perplexity. I’d like to share that I’ve never been a “fanboy” of something before. And as someone in my 50’s, that’s saying something. I’ve been a “fan” – of certain electronic music artists, BMW sport sedans, eating marzipan paste right from the futuristic silver tube thingie that you can buy in Safeway, and so forth. But “fanboy” is a new level. Like, the Perplexity tattoo that I have on my forehead reads: ia.ytixelpreP so that when I see myself…

China’s AI Regulatory Landscape

Overview China has established itself as a global leader in AI development and implementation, with a regulatory approach that balances technological advancement with strict content controls, data security measures, and national security priorities. Unlike the EU's horizontal approach with the AI Act, China has adopted a more vertical, sector-specific regulatory strategy, addressing different facets of AI through discrete laws and regulations. Timeline January 10, 2023: Deep Synthesis Provisions (regulating deepfakes) came into force July 13, 2023: Draft Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services released for public comment August 15, 2023: Interim Measures for the Management of Generative Artificial Intelligence Services became effective November 1, 2023: Mandatory filing of generative AI services with the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) began December 2023: Start of compliance audits for generative AI…

EU-AI-Act

The EU AI Act adopts a risk-based approach, broadly encompassing all forms of AI. The act sorts AI systems into four levels, from unacceptable to minimal risk. The measures contain both hefty penalties for non-compliance and some indirect incentives – as well as pointers to some direct sources of money. They seem to be trying to fire up a lagging industry and innovation machine, all while safeguarding fundamental rights. Are they trying to close the proverbial barn door after the chickens have bolted? Or are they counting their horses before they hatch – which they never will, because they’re too busy watching the pot? Turns out you can’t make an AI omelet without (maybe) breaking some of Schrödinger’s eggs. (Ok, I know that this is a reach, but there is an…
