Although there's lots of corporate bullshit in what is written in the article linked below (namely, the stuff about self-driving cars), some insights do really standout.

"For leaders steering their organizations through this turbulent transition, what lies beyond the spreadsheet? It’s everything that won’t fit in a cell: the skills that refuse to be tallied, the open-ended problems with no reliable precedent, the intangibles—trust, taste, and the subtle dimensions of quality and experience—and the conviction to press ahead even when every metric says “wait.” Manage only what you can measure, and you surrender the most valuable ground to rivals who cultivate what can’t be counted. Amar Bose, the sound and electrical engineer who founded the Bose Corporation, proved the point: while others worshipped spec-sheet numbers, he zeroed in on how music sounded to people in real rooms—a quality no existing metric could catch—and in doing so, he rewrote the rules of the audio industry.

Directionally, the prescription is simple. Back wildcard bets with fuzzy ROI, reward teams that reframe problems and lean into the unknown, and rotate talent through roles that confront uncertainty across R&D, new markets, and complex customer, partner, and policy interactions. Carve out slack time and engineer cross-team collisions to spark serendipity and idea recombination. Treat those pockets of planned ambiguity not as liabilities, but as strategic assets."

Harvard Business Review · What Gets Measured, AI Will AutomateIn the age of AI, what gets measured gets automated. As models grow more powerful, any task that can be turned into data—from spreadsheet analysis to therapy sessions—is increasingly within reach of automation. The underlying playbook is clear: define the task, feed it data, attach rewards, and apply compute. As AI slashes the cost of measurement, even minor activities become economically viable to automate, expanding the reach of AI into nearly every industry. What remains defensible are tasks defined by ambiguity, creativity, or uncertainty—places where outcomes can’t be easily quantified or where human judgment still prevails. For leaders, the challenge is to manage both the measurable and the unmeasurable, investing not just in automation, but in the intangibles—taste, trust, vision, and adaptability—that AI can’t yet replicate.

Apparently a court might make Google sell off their browser, Chrome, as a separate business.

Which would be nice, but I don't get why anyone would buy it? They can't start charging a subscription to run Chrome browser.

Can you really make a business from adverts on the homepage?

A browser is a strict money-loser, with no profit or business model. Ask Mozilla.

If someone bought it, they would surely go bust, then when happens to it?

🚨 Using Outrage as a Negotiation Tactic – A Smart Move or a Costly Mistake? 🚨

In negotiations, offence can be wielded as a weapon—provoking anger or indignation to push an opponent into a corner. From Napoleon's diplomatic barbs to Trump's confrontational style, history is full of figures who have used calculated outrage to gain leverage. But does it really work?

When we started recording podcasts, Sean Martin and I put writing on pause for a bit—but now it’s back, not just in our individual newsletters but also in our event coverage. I enjoy writing, and I plan to do even more with my Musings on Society & #Technology newsletter here on LinkedIn.

That said…

Here’s my final article (#4) from the ITSPmagazine Podcasts coverage of ThreatLocker’s Zero Trust World 2025 (#ZTW25). In this piece, I reflect on the intersection of society, cybersecurity, innovation, and disruption, inspired by the final keynote from Reggie Fils-Aime, former President and COO of #Nintendo.

"The Disruptive Edge: Innovation, #Cybersecurity, and the Future of a #ZeroTrust Society."

Throughout our coverage, we tackled the evolution of cyber threats, the dark web, supply chain security, #cybercriminals tactics, and now, in this final piece, we turn our focus to the bigger picture.

From Reggie Fils-Aime’s insights on disciplined, disruptive innovation to Danny Jenkins’ closing words on embedding security into everything we build, the event left us with one key question: Is innovation moving too fast for security to keep up, or are we finally embedding security at the core of progress?

For centuries, innovation was slow. Then came the Industrial Revolution, and today, we live in an era of hyper-acceleration, where disruption isn’t a choice—it’s a given. #AI, #automation, and cybersecurity threats evolve faster than we can regulate or adapt. But is this pace making us stronger, or is security still an afterthought?

🔹 Are we innovating responsibly?
🔹 Are we embedding security into progress?
🔹 Are we disrupting for the right reasons?

Huge thanks to #ThreatLocker for bringing us together in Orlando for these critical discussions and to the incredible speakers who shaped our coverage.

As Danny Jenkins put it best:
"Security isn’t a feature you add later—it’s the foundation of everything we build."

A more plausible explanation lies in financial incentives tied to office occupancy. Many companies benefit from tax breaks or subsidies linked to maintaining high occupancy rates in commercial buildings, which would otherwise lose value if left underutilized.
