OK, I admit that I’m sometimes too focused on technology to realise that not everyone is aware of all the different AI services out there. — This week, I mentioned Mistral.ai to a colleague and was surprised that he hadn’t heard of it. But, as I said, you can’t know everything.

Those Who Forget the Dotcom Crash Are Doomed to Repeat It — with GenAI
A friend recently recommended Craig McCaskill’s article “The Bubble That Knows It’s a Bubble” with a disclaimer “it’s quite a read”. After forgetting it and coming back to it later I can say: it’s so worth reading it!

“Six hard truths for software development bosses” also applies for Project Management!
I just came across “Six hard truths for software development bosses” on InfoWorld. Ah well – a quite catchy title. But it’s worth a read for everyone who manages / leads people in the area of Software Development.

Handling 3,500 drones to recreate Michelangelo’s masterpieces in a huge Lightshow
Thanks to the Fediverse integration of Flipboard I just saw the post from National Geographic where they link “Grace for the World: Recreating Michelangelo’s masterpieces above the Vatican“.
At first I thought it was mainly about how impressive the show itself was. But there’s also another topic: the technology and the team behind the scenes:

Is the GenAI Revolution over already?
Just recently I saw the article (that probably most of us already noticed with a gentle smile), that AI coding tools can slow down seasoned developers by 19% (on InfoWorld). And just now I came to another article on Futurism, that “AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies”.
Heise.de picked up the article as well (Ernüchterung statt Euphorie: KI-Nutzung in den USA geht zurück) and outlines that the big hope of additional revenues has not come true (well … as if a technology would print money) and that the negative effects start to be more visible.
Yeah well — I’m wondering where exactly we might be in the Gartner Hype Cycle. I guess somewhere near the “Trough of disillusionment”? I don’t think that there is any doubt that GenAI has some really really beneficial use cases. But to me it did sound a lot like the time when the use of big data was totally overhyped.

Farewell to my 11.5-Year-Old RaspberryPi Weather Station
Eleven and a half years ago, I built my first RaspberryPi weather station using sensors from Tinkerforge. Today, I shut it down for good. Not because it failed — but because its job is done. It’s been replaced by a Netatmo setup, and unfortunately, I don’t need it anymore. But admitting that a project’s lifespan is over always takes some effort — well, to me at least.
