    “Just do it,” is the advice of Sam Altman for enterprise leaders wondering how to get their organizations started down the path of AI. Of course, the OpenAI CEO has always been bullish about getting started on AI. But this is not the advice he would have given to enterprise execs even a year ago, he said, in a “fireside” discussion with Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy for the kickoff of this year’s Snowflake Summit, being held this week in San Francisco.

    More applications will be built in the next three years than in the previous 30, estimated Nutanix CEO Rajiv Ramaswami, in a keynote at his company’s annual .NEXT user conference in Washington, D.C. last week.

"The Box Shop, which has helped bring hundreds of slightly absurd dreams to life—from an anarchist coffee shop to a giant, fire-breathing serpent—is coming to a close. The Box Shop, which has around 100 artist tenants, will vacate the space by next March." https://t.co/h75qaOOxsL
