Not that anybody cares, but to weigh in on the #MJvsLebron debate: no one in the 53 years of NBA history I have lived through has carried the sense of inevitability during crunch time that Jordan did. LeBron doesn’t even come close. And I hated the Jordan Bulls.

Once the old world stalwarts that are Oracle’s bread and butter dry up, it’s hard to see a rosy future for a company that is being steamrolled by Salesforce’ momentum with younger, faster-growing companies.
Attending #OOW18 this week, and can’t help but notice the contrast when compared with last month’s Dreamforce conference. Fewer people, much less energy, much drier content.
It's been over a year since I tweeted anything. How's a fella gonna get in trouble like that? Clearly I should be more controversial.

Question: when Cloud Computing wins the Preakness, do any Silicon Valley stocks experience significant gains?
One more: Toyota selects NVIDIA Drive PX for its autonomous vehicles. Not an innovation, but significant reveal during #GTC2017 keynote.
Here it is: NVIDIA is open sourcing its Xavier AI supercomputer for autonous vehicles. #GTC2017
Oops, spoke too soon...one more #GTC2017 announcement coming...wait for it...
Final #GTC2017 announcement: GPU Cloud, registry of containerized accelerated computing tools. Fun for programmers!
Another NVIDIA innovation: the personal DVX, your own AI supercomputer for $69,000. #GTC2017
NVIDIA's second announcement at #GTC2017, its new Tesla V100, promises huge advances in AI and high-performance computing.
NVIDIA's Project Holodeck, announced today at #GTC2017, is going to change the way people work. Mind-blowing stuff.

You can always count on @neiltyson to cut through the BS. AI is not going to work out well for us--no matter what path it goes down. xitter.cf/neiltyson/status/83477…
Time to behave, so when Artificial Intelligence becomes our overlord, we've reduced the reasons for it to exterminate us all.

Just an amazing win by the Pats tonight, but WTF is up with Michael Strahan carrying the Lombardi Trophy to the podium? Sacrilege!
