Welcome to Orchestrate All The Things. I'm George Anadiotis and we'll be connecting the dots together. Stories about technology, data, AI, and media and how they flow into each other, saving our lives. This is an AI-generated narrative of my latest article. Orchestrate All The Things. Owning tech, data, media, AI, writing, and content. On AI-generated content, writing, new, old, and broken media, platforms, models, and audiences. I have been covering topics related to data, analytics and data science, AI and machine learning, innovation, graphs, as well as a wide array of technologies such as blockchain, cloud, observability, IoT, open data, social media and software engineering. The connection between data,

analytics, data science, graphs, machine learning and AI and their importance soon became obvious to me. Over time, these technologies became my focus. When I was given the opportunity to have my byline appear in the mainstream media, I took it. I have engaged from the likes of Gary Marcus and Andrew Ng to emerging thinkers and innovators across multiple domains. My work resonated with people, including editors, which is why I got invited to work with more media outlets too. Even though I've worked with some great people in media, I was never under the impression that it's a thriving, smoothly operating industry. I think that the media industry is getting harder and harder to navigate,

and it doesn't look like the rise of generative AI will help. You may have seen the reports about AI-generated content on the media, for example. I had seen signs of this before it broke in the mainstream. The, in-shitification, of content is real, and it will get worse. I maintain that, content, and, writing, are not the same thing. But I hear the frustration of many writers and content creators. I also use social media and content platforms, and they can work just as well or even better. But I never really had an effective strategy for building and managing my own platform and audience. Enter Posse. Posse is an abbreviation for publish, on your own site, syndicate elsewhere. It's the practice of publish, on your own site, syndicate elsewhere.

It's the practice of posting content on your own site first, then publishing copies or sharing links to third parties like social media or content publishing platforms. Posse lets creators retain control of their content while enabling discovery and interaction to happen where the audience is. Today I'm launching the Orchestrate All the Things newsletter, as well as some new ways to connect and share my work. Stories about how technology, data, AI and media flow into each other shaping our lives. Analysis, essays, interviews and news. Plus audio and video. Many of my pieces have a technical focus. Most also examine business perspectives and use cases, while others are socio-technical. Some pieces are analyses on emerging themes,

picking them up early, featuring expert comment, or offering alternative takes. Others cover breaking news, typically also featuring the people behind them plus some analysis. There are some book reviews as well. The Orchestrate All The Things podcast is where you can find my conversations with with people who bring interesting news and views to the table. Going forward, you will be able to find AI-narrated versions of my articles there too. If you are more of a visual type, Orchestrate All The Things has got you covered too. AI-visualized and narrated versions of my articles will also be available on Instagram, Pinterest,

TikTok and YouTube. Expanding to new platforms is a conscious effort to reach new audiences. We've reached a time when my friends ask me about ChatGPT and I see articles about AI in lifestyle magazines. It hardly gets more mainstream than this, and that audience needs to be reached in a different way. I've been using AI apps for a long time. I also experimented with some new AI models and applications. I think AI is fair game for things such as transcription, summarization and generating audio or video narratives from text. I understand why some people use it for idea generation, and why others shy away from AI generated images, but I digress. The most important thing remains what to write about and how to do it. I won't commit to frequent updates. What I can commit to is thoughtfulness, and a couple of articles already in the pipeline. On the latest developments in AI,

the pause, x.ai and whether, scale is all you need, on my, what's new in AI, work with O'Reilly, and on writing the Personal Knowledge Graphbook.
