Věštec a historik Filochoros, pes na Akropoli a Venuše viditelná ve dne

Psi na Akropoli nesměli. Co však dělat, když pes leží na oltáři Dia Ochránce domu? Pozorný věštec si všimnul, že Venuše je zrovna v plném lesku, a vyslovil závěr. Stalo se v Athénách někdy kolem roku 300 před n. l.

In the current B2B technology landscape, the difference between a transformative tool and an expensive decoration is not the technology itself—it’s how you use it.

It’s telling that 81% of B2B tech buyers feel purchase regret, even after intensive buying cycles spanning an average of 17 months. As Gartner found, “The product is less important than the buyer’s ability to evaluate, purchase, and adopt it. The product is a means to an end, a vehicle to an outcome.”

How to transition nontechnical teams to use GenAI

AI can now help write your kids’ bedtime stories

As a new father, Jose Gonzales was disappointed to find so few picture books featuring characters who look like his daughter. “She’s biracial,” he says. “A lot of the popular children’s books have a white, blue-eyed, blonde girl as the main character.” And books that did feature biracial kids were too often focused on diversity as a subject, rather than telling the story about a kid that, say, wanted to be an astronaut, and just happens to be biracial.
