Happy 2024. This coming July, The Progressive CIO will be four years old. As I reflect on this milestone, I must admit that I feel it’s been too long since I’ve written in any depth about the eight foundational values that I hold close to my heart:

Vulnerability • Humility • Empathy • Patience • Compassion • Curiosity • Commitment • Willingness

In the weeks and months ahead, I commit to you that I will revisit these topics, taking a deeper and fresh dive into what makes them critical for life.

Cheers!

Ian Betteridge does a fabulous job illustrating what I feel is the single biggest risk to Generative AI: self-reinforcing junk.

Part of me enjoys watching the Internet as we know it burn itself down, because, even prior to ChatGPT, it was full of recycled and derivative content. The software-driven world often has a way of moving way faster than it has a right to, and checks and balances — in whatever form they take — are a blessing.

What should the next generation of the World Wide Web look like, though? If it were to look a little more like the original Yahoo!, would that be a bad thing?

We’ve all-too-proudly gone from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 to Web 3.0 (and even Web3, sigh), but what would be wrong with Web 1.9 or even Web 2.1?
