Yesterday, UiPath has announced that it's opening up its orchestration layer to any coding agent. @alyx.diginomica.com talks us through what this could mean, why Claude Code and Codex go first, and why the real argument is about which layer of the stack is actually worth owning: bit.ly/4uOaioR
Just had the most incredible factory tour and discussed everything from data to cameras to ethernet cables to observability. Also, robots are brilliant.

As Prince sang, sometimes it snows in April. Wondering if he was in Scotland when he wrote it.
Even in a world where LLM never existed this is solid mentoring

NEW ARTICLE! NEW ARTICLE!! Ever wonder ~why~ so many Western stories about samurai all tell you a story about someone who really, really, really likes honor? Where did that come from? And why is it so pervasive? What are samurai movies really about? medium.com/@docseuss/wh...

Had a really good chat with Mark Collier about the importance of the work done by @pytorch.org and why membership has to be earned, not bought. Very lucky to have spoken with some incredibly smart people at KubeCon. Massive props to the @linuxfoundation.org PR team for doing an amazing job too.

AI is data and most companies have a massive data health problem. Proud of this work with Alyx exposing some hard truth that shouldn’t be hard at all
Alyx MacQueen@alyx.diginomica.com · 4mo agoI believe the people who most need honest, independent research about enterprise data are the practitioners living inside the problem, not the vendors selling solutions to it. Today, @maureenb2b.bsky.social and I published our Enterprise Data Health Study. This is the start, not the finish.

diginomica@diginomica.com · 4mo agoIndustry benchmarks: 93% plan to deploy AI agents within 2 years.
