100% agree here!
If you learn how to draw something by watching a video on YouTube, then draw something and sell it, does the owner of the YouTube video deserve a cut?
Expecting AI companies to pay for training material freely available online is missing the point entirely.
James Cameron says the AI copyright debate is backwards: "You're a model already."
Humans learn like AI models do — we absorb, emulate, iterate.
But we don't get sued for our influences. Only for what we output.

I usually hate surprises... but this one was nice.
Thanks to RETHINK Re Retail for naming me a Top Retail Expert (TRE) for 2025!

Third convocation.
(First one as an instructor, though...)
Congrats to all Schulich students graduating today, but especially to those who put up with me for an entire term!

Why aren't more people talking about that last episode of #TedLasso ?!?
Ted's conversation with his mom?
Ted's conversation with Jamie?!
Coach Beard's speech to Nate?!?
Wow.
What a consistently incredible show.
Happening in Toronto right now: @OpenAI founder @sama, interviewed by @Shopify founder @tobi. (Presented by #ElevateTechCA)
Not a coincidence: it's happening in the same room as @karaswisher and @profgalloway filmed their live episode of @PivotPod a few years ago!

I'm not saying this is the worst #interview I've ever watched...
Wait, no, that's exactly what I'm saying. The absolute worst.
Say what you will about @ElonMusk, but the man is clearly intelligent, and to go after someone like him without proper preparation is just foolish.

Breaking from @WaltDisneyCo 's Shareholder Meeting: a Moana live-action film is coming.
What can I say, except, you're welcome...

I watched this last night -- wow!
This film was incredibly well done -- worth a watch!!!
(I'm predicting another Oscar nomination for @TaronEgerton )
@TaronEgerton stars in #Tetris—the game you couldn’t put down, the story you couldn’t make up.
Now streaming on Apple TV+

Like, a physical paper? I can't even read them anymore... Ink on my fingers and way tougher to skim the headlines. Digital, my friend!!! :)

My thought process when I saw the trailer a few weeks ago...
Start of the trailer:
"They're making a movie about TETRIS? That's going to be so ridiculously boring..."
At the end of the trailer:
"I'm VERY excited to watch this film!!!" 😂

I have yet to NOT laugh when I watch this clip, and I must have seen it three dozen times...

A 10% raise when inflation is 2% is fantastic!!
A 10% raise when inflation is 15% means you're taking a pay cut.
Context is critical.
Focus on a) if you are being rewarded for your results and b) whether or not you're getting ahead.
The answer to both should always be YES.

I would take a particular glee in sawing off the bottom to get to the ice cream.
The taste of Ben + Jerry's combined with the taste of victory... Delicious!!

Okay, this is well-done...
(But I'm embarrassed to admit I deciphered the entire braille message before I realized the person holding the sign was dressed as Daredevil, which of course makes this 1,000x funnier.)

They started last year.

Such a ridiculously bad idea...
