The Idea Matrix of Your Team
9 hours ago
Tokens were our gateway to playing games. Now they are the measure of our work and efficiency. They don’t have to be, they shouldn’t be, but right now, many companies are looking at token consumption as a successful metric for adoption. Why? Because it’s easy, it’s one thing, easy to count, easy to add, easy to subtract, and it gives you a nice number. The easy metrics have always been eschewed by leaders because they only measure what is easy, and not what is right. Accountability. Value. Responsibility. Leadership. Commitment. These are the values that we have always wanted in …

A Matrix is an environment or system where something else, an idea, a product, a concept, takes form and becomes something else. You go into the Matrix and come out changed by it (just like in the movie). The Idea Matrix is the lunchroom chatter, the discussion after a meeting has happened, the back and forth at your desk – that generates the next idea that your team should be working on. The Idea Matrix is a key indicator of growth as well – not all ideas are great, but the ability to generate ideas, the willingness to try new …

The More You Know
NBC used to have these great slogans at the end of shows in the 80s/90s – “The More You Know”. They would generally be about drugs or drinking. But now, more than ever, the More You Know, the better you are positioned for what comes next. The More You Know was the driver to keep learning and get better at what you are doing because when you know more, you can solve more. Want more?

The Direction of AI
I heard a good quote a few weeks ago about AI, because LLMs need to learn, what they learn comes from historical models, which are then used to extrapolate behaviour moving forward with what they have learned. Case in point, to draw, AI had to look at pictures of drawings to define structure and learning in order to draw in a similar model. I pick up a pencil, stare at the piece of paper, and see what comes out. Now, I would love to have the benefit of a model of all these artists in my head to help me …
