Last week I returned to University of Canterbury for the STEM careers day. My fellow UC alumnus Scott came along and together we gave students what they want most: pizza. Chatting to today's students makes the future of STEM look put-your-sunglasses-on kind of bright.
Scott (left, wearing a white t-shirt) and Max (right, wearing a blue t-shirt) stand in front of a table with two posters advertising PDF editor Lumin. One says "connect the docs. edit PDFs from anywhere." and the other says "love data? talk to us!"

I don’t see why everyone is so adamant that Google is losing the AI race. Google developed and released transformers (the T in ChatGPT) back in 2017. I have no doubt the same technology is already being applied across Google Search and Google Workspace.

It was a joy to host our Vietnam team here in NZ. I am looking forward to visiting Ho Chi Minh City this week!

Last week work in the cloud came down to Earth. Our Vietnam team came all the way from Ho Chi Minh City to Ōtautahi Christchurch for some old-fashioned in-person team bonding.
