Send us a text

Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #243 where we have a chat about all things #IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

This week, Pete, Olivier, Rob, and Leonard jump on Web3 to talk about:

• BAD KARAOKE! "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)", Big & Rich
• Rob shares the songs that he sings to get banned at an open mic night!
• OPEN INVITIATION - We are recruiting for younger IoT Coffee Talkers to replace us!
• What is up with wireless (cellular and Wi-Fi) services in Las Vegas!?!?
• Old Fashions make Leonard's mouth run endlessly. It's terrible!
• Pete kicks off our CES 2025 recap with an edge AI slant
• The immense "Okay-ness" of incremental. It's really not a bad thing
• Rob shares his strange picks from CES 2025 - It's a such a must miss you can't miss it!
• CES, the great hype and techno nonsense generator!
• The illusion of progress and how we go backwards when we think we are going forward
• AI, the augmenting technology that gets us to 95%
• What happened to the Rabbit and the Humane.AI Pin?
• Where is the high margin GenAI workload?
• Progress is iterative (the same thing just a little better)
• Rob and Olivier launch a new venture to create AGI using Visual Basic, the 1995 version
• The agentic SaaS catastrophe

 
It's a great episode. Grab an extraordinarily expensive latte at your local coffee shop and check out the whole thing. You will get all you need to survive another week in the world of IoT and greater tech!
