„ „Best-in-Class“ heißt im Business-Kontext für gewöhnlich: Alle, die besser sind oder auf Dauer unangenehm werden könnten, sind nicht in der Klasse. Ein bewährtes Prinzip bei Legacy-Anbietern. Entsprechend definiert sich Zalando seine Klasse – ohne Boohoo, Shein, Trendyol & Co.“

Autsch. -> Strategie-Update: Wo steht Zalando im B2B-Geschäft?

“Nvidia’s stepping into the AI chatbot game, but with a twist. Their "Chat with RTX” demo lets you run a powerful chatbot right on your own PC (if you’ve got one with 8 Gigs of VRAM + other specs)

This is an unpolished demo, you can download it but not something you can rely heavily upon (yet). Nvidia’s throwing the dev doors open so we can see what’s possible in terms of local AI.“ -> Nvidia is building chat with PDF apps. I’m not joking.

„ But while it’s important to recognize the very real pain and anxiety that many media professionals are experiencing, I do think it’s a bit myopic to measure the industry’s health on the financials of legacy outlets and a handful of high-profile, VC-funded digital upstarts. If you instead widen the lens to include the media’s “long tail” — a group that includes tens of thousands of bootstrapped outlets, creators, nonprofits, advocacy organizations, academics, and even non-media companies that significantly invest in content marketing — then you’ll come away with a much more optimistic take on the state of media.

It would probably take a full month for me to research and quantify the true size of the media long tail, but you don’t have to look too far and wide to conclude that it’s absolutely huge. YouTube alone, for instance, is paying out upwards of $10 billion a year to creators via its ad revenue share. Substack announced a year ago that it crossed 2 million paid subscriptions, a -> The long tail of media is thriving

„ Expertise in batteries and a vast domestic market give Chinese firms an edge“

China hat, wie vorhergesagt wurde und seit Jahren offensichtlich war, die Skaleneffekte im eigenen Markt genutzt, um eine eigene kompetitive E-Autobranche entstehen zu lassen. Während den Deutschen immer noch Erfahrungswerte fehlen, kommen die Chinesen damit jetzt u.a. nach Europa. -> Western firms are quaking as China’s electric-car industry speeds up

„For the first time in history, humans had a world-altering fact forced on them; sentences do not imply sentience. The crown-jewel of our species, the quality that supposedly entitled us to our special moral status: the ability fluently to manipulate highly complex, abstract language about a near-infinite number of subjects is, undeniably, no longer confined to humans. ChatGPT did what parrots with large vocabularies and chimps that have learned ASL could not. It produced language that might pass as human-created. It did so not in a philosophy hypothetical or computer lab, but in real-time, to hundreds of millions of people.“ -> The Unperson Of 2023

„From there on, it snowballed into a headline competition, as noted by the Center for Data Innovation: “Once news media first get wind of a panic, it becomes a game of one-upmanship: the more outlandish the claims, the better.”“ -> 2023: The Year Of AI Panic

“"Following mounting pressure from regulators in the UK and EU, Adobe and Figma announced on Monday that both companies are mutually terminating their merger agreement, which would have seen Adobe acquire the Figma product design platform for $20 billion.”

Da freuen sich sicher viele Designer:innen. Ich hatte damals nach der Ankündigung mit kosmar im neunetzcast darüber gesprochen: https://neunetz.fm/neunetzcast-92-warum-kauft-adobe-figma-ueber-multiplayerapps-saas-netzwerkeffekte-in-software-und-pfadabhaengigkeiten/ -> Adobe abandons $20 billion acquisition of Figma
