What's your strategy for balancing business books with inspiration?
I suggest not reading business books or limiting myself to a few seminal ones (Marketing Imagination, by Theodore Levitt; Competitive Strategy, by Michael Porter; Crossing the Chasm, by Geoff Moore). I would avoid most business books as they are used to sell consulting. READ BIOGRAPHIES — Royal Little's "How to Loose $1000,000,000 and Other Valuable Advice". There are many others.

How can you use your Product Marketing experience to start your own business?
Great ideas, passion, and identifying market needs all sound good, but the real issue is understanding the ecosystem and competitive environment. Millions of people on Etsy sell CNC or laser-etched products, but the only people making money are those selling CNC or laser-etch systems. Product/Market Fit, interviewing prospective customers, and getting to MVP takes time and much revision. Successful start-ups are typically founded by people with years of experience slugging it out daily in a given market. They were frustrated with their former company for their mistakes in serving the customer and truly identifying their pain. Yes, read Steve Blank's "Start-up Manual," but lead with your personal experience.

Consumer behavior infects the IC market
Electronic Business
New semiconductor business models need to emerge in the advent of the "consumer-era". The consumer era is typified by short product cycles, market segment fragmentation and a flood of products at the sub-$200 price point.

Cornami, Inc. CEO Walden C. ( Wally ) Rhines will provide a keynote at 9/9 Kisaco Research event on next innovation wave in generative AI: Private LLMs. The rise of private Large Language Models (LLMs) represents a significant next phase in the growth of generative AI, as organizations seek to leverage advanced AI capabilities while maintaining control over their data and customization needs. Private LLMs enable companies to build proprietary models fine-tuned to specific industries, processes, or use cases without relying on third-party cloud services, ensuring data privacy and compliance. As generative AI becomes more integral to business operations, especially in sectors like finance, healthcare, manufacturing, government, and law, where data sensitivity is paramount, private models provide organizations with greater flexibility and security. This trend aligns with the growing demand for specialized, domain-specific LLMs tailored to unique workflows and datasets. Major tech companies along with some extraordinary new startups are leading the charge in facilitating private LLM adoption. OpenAI, for example, offers enterprise solutions allowing businesses to customize and deploy GPT models on-premises or within dedicated cloud environments, ensuring tighter control over data. Microsoft, a key partner of OpenAI, has integrated Azure OpenAI Service to provide businesses with private deployment options. Additionally, Google and Meta are focusing on developing LLM platforms such as Google Cloud's Vertex AI and Meta's LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI), which allow enterprises to fine-tune models on their own infrastructure while leveraging advanced capabilities for text generation, summarization, and more. This shift towards private LLMs is part of a broader industry movement towards democratizing AI while addressing concerns over data sovereignty, security, and model ownership. By empowering businesses to deploy generative AI models within secure, customizable environments, Cornami, Inc. is positioning itself as an enabler of the next wave of AI-driven innovation.

Looking forward to seeing the latest (tech) and greatest (people) at IMTS - International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. American manufacturing continues to surge despite economic obstacles and global instability, which inspires my confidence in the sector positively exploding when those headwinds are reversed and become tailwinds. I can't wait to reconnect with both longtime and new friends and acquaintances, discover wonderful manufacturing innovations, and meet the companies and people behind them. #Americanmanufacturing #manufacturing #IMTS2024 #technology #techtradeshow #manufacturingtradeshow #robotics #automation #data #digitaltransformation #industry40 #investinginmanufacturing #madeinusa #madeinamerica

📚 Holiday weekend reading: “Plurality.” This philosophical approach applies open technologies to foster diverse collaboration and coordination and solve our societal challenges. Technology can and will bring diverse viewpoints together with the transparent debates needed to come to coordinated solutions. These open technologies today encompass the powerful capabilities in our innovation systems today: open source #AI models, permissionless #blockchain, community #web3tokens, interoperable #metaverses, among the many public goods enabled by emerging technologies. Our social relationships provide the universal values and effective direction for such innovations to impact our world towards positive sum growth. “Plurality” is the central subject of a new book by Microsoft’s internal economist Glen Weyl and Taiwan’s former Minister of Digital Affairs Audrey Tang. That book collects ideas in a donation supported ebook.
