In this livestream, Frank and Andy talk about the recent round of layoffs hitting technology companies. 

Stu Ainsworth joins them in an impromptu discussion of layoffs, mental health, and empathy. 

Stu, who was previously a guest on the show, was recently laid off from SalesForce. If you're looking for a Site Reliability engineer, then look no further than Stu.

In this Data Point recorded live from Penn Station, Frank talks about moderating a panel discussion for Disruptive Technologists in NYC to talk about NeuroTechnology.

He also reaches out to those impacted by the Microsoft layoffs.

Note that BAILey is a bit salty about the Sting concert.

In this episode Frank interviews, Jack Tompkins, partner and founder of Pineapple Consulting Firm , a company that turns data into visualizations, allowing their clients to make more informed strategic choices.  

Jack has now taken the analytical, financial, and partnership skills he's honed over his career and offers them to small and medium-sized businesses that know how powerful data can be, but don’t have the internal resources to turn their data into a powerful business asset. 

Due to a scheduling conflict, Andy was not able to be on this episode, but fear not dear listener: There's an Andy only show coming up!

In this episode, Frank and Andy reflect on the year that 2022. It was quite the year for all of us here at data driven media, both personally and professionally.  

You'll hear Frank and Andy go down a few rabbit holes around AI creativity and it takes them about an hour until the first Expanse reference.

I'll cut them some slack since it's the holidays.

In this livestream, Frank and Andy recap reinvent, the big AWS conference in Las Vegas. They both take a look at the AWS ecosystem from their heavily Azure centric perspective. 

However, in the end, data science is based on maths. And Maths is the ultimate platform agnostic platform.

Wow! Say that ten times fast.

Frank is out at the big AWS show in Las Vegas.

Apparently, having some seventy thousand attendees in one place wreaks havoc on Wifi and Cellular signals.

As such, the stream drops out right after Frank talks to the guy at the AWS Green Grass booth demo. Such a pity.

Now here's Frank live from the Expo floor at AWS Reinvent in Las Vegas.

In this recent livestream, Frank explains his excitement about speaking at the upcoming AWS re-invent. The audio gets a little choppy.

I tried to clean it up, but there's only so much I can do. I think I need more GPUs.

Andy is currently in Seattle attending the PASS Summit and I will be headed to AWS re:Invent this year!

In this fascinating discussion, Frank sits down with author, poet, and AI enthusiast about the nature of creativity, particularly in light of recent innovations in so called "generative AI."

The episode ends with a powerful reading from his most recent book "What Makes Us Human," in which an Artificial Intelligence answers some of life's biggest questions. He co-wrote, in part, with the GPT-3 model and Jasmine Wang, an actual human.

Listen in for a fascinating chat on philosophy, artificial intelligence, and creativity.
