Another interesting skills move from @SalesforceUK @ZahraS_B @Benioff
.@Salesforce is bringing its education mission to the UK. At today's #AIforce it's revealed plans for free Slack Enterprise for HE & FE students with a new initiative to promote exposure to business-grade AI that's workplace-friendly. @WhoStu has the story bit.ly/4ilAcNc

Needed to be said!
SI, SI, SI! Sigh!!!! @WhoStu can't wait until our next Monday Moan. He's here with a Mid-week Meltdown, caused by the AI / SI performative shenanigans at the White House yesterday: bit.ly/4dckYHo

Genuinely transformative use case, despite initial appearances perhaps… @salesforce @Benioff @ZahraS_B
With AI about to destroy our jobs, recruitment specialist Adecco Group decided it needed AI to help it free up time for more conversations with its clients candidates. @WhoStu explains how a routine @Salesforce use case turned into a global change program: bit.ly/4xXw36G

This. A thousand times, this!!!
Any media outlet that uses "SI" even a single time should lose every reader immediately and permanently and put all properties they own up for rent the next morning

You say ‘potato’, I say, ‘what a moron!!’. Now, which tech vendor will be first to cave in to this cretinous lunacy?
Trump tells the UN he is officially changing the name of Artificial Intelligence to "Super Intelligence" and says all US government documents will now be changed to refer to "SI"

Fair warning to all tech firms - if any of you pander to him on this, don’t bother calling me or any reputable tech journalist/analyst ever again. Besides, it’s only a matter of time before he renames it American Intelligence, surely?
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP

Excellent week at Dreamforce. Lots of content, good conversations, much to think about, especially with the noises off going on around AI. Congrats to @Benioff and team for another good event! On now to 2027- my silver jubilee year, I think. @salesforce @ZahraS_B @Dreamforce

.@Salesforce CEO @Benioff walked on stage yesterday to explain how the UI is undergoing a revolution. @WhoStu was there to find out why he's pitching an architectural layer cake, and banging one more nail in the ‘SaaSpocalypse coffin: bit.ly/4dzoL1t

Crazy headline, but some interesting pricing thoughts @Benioff @salesforce @SalesforceNews
Is there a tokenomics crisis? @WhoStu explains how @Salesforce is helping customers with a predictable model on cost, and why providing the right pricing options to match the needs of customers is critical to encouraging agentic transformation initiatives: bit.ly/4zOz4bP

When horizontal vibe coding didn't deliver, Ohalo Genetics joined the @Salesforce 'Ohana'. @WhoStu explains why Ohalo now opts for platform buys for horizontal needs, but still has room to do its own thing when it comes to verticalization: bit.ly/3V5zcU6

Enough with the ruddy SaaSpocalypse!!!
Will @salesforce's Claudeforce tie-up with Anthropic be the final nail in the SaaSpocalypse coffin? @WhoStu argues that a major new axis between Salesforce and Anthropic might just change the narrative once and for all: bit.ly/4c9EEez

It seems like only yesterday we were wowed by ChatGPT. But, as @WhoStu points out, time flies when you're looking for enterprise ROI from AI investment! With @Salesforce’s #Dreamforce only weeks away, we must stand by for the biggest transformation yet: bit.ly/46m0eZR

Grim stats herein…
Who is really in charge of contracts? Who thinks they are? Who do others think is? 77% of respondents in a recent poll said that only a few people in their organization know who actually owns contracts. @WhoStu shares this major global study from @Workday: bit.ly/4ilfaPa

Our @jonerp's left his keyboard and ventured off on something called a 'vacation'. So this week @WhoStu is in the writing seat. Here are his highlights from the last seven days, including, of course, your whiffs: bit.ly/4hqkDnw
