something has happened to my LI timeline LinkedIn completely screwed up in terms of showing activity per post. anyone else seeing or experiencing the same thing?
Big news for marketers: The new LinkedIn app makes it easy-peasy to do magical things with content on your mobile devices. Definitely worth a try.

a few thoughts: - Libra is not about crypto or blockchain - the repo market hiccup is not about too much regulation - even if banks are registering record profits, they are in a much more dire situation that most realize - CBDCs will change banking more so than most realize …see more
two things that have or will have a greater impact on financial services and banking, which many do not fully realize: - the battle over strong encryption. (back doors or weak encryption fragilises banking transactions) - proposed US legislation for data portability & API interoperability in big tech. (these ideas will find their way into financial services & banking) #banking #banks #fintech #disruption #financialservices …see more

by far the most interesting thing i learned this week is that aggregate bank ROTE has not recovered from pre 2008 highs &i stagnates at 10%. a group of banks have, the astute digital & innovation leaders, but the main pack has not. and this even with QE, favorable treatment from c-banks and return to profitability. also, most banks claim too much regulation is to blame. this is rather damning. a majority of banks the world over are walking zombies and will not survive long term and/or would not survive a severe economic downturn. the banking landscape has already changed drastically, even though it can be claimed fintech startups have failed to disrupt at scale or tech has been hyped too much (crypto, blockchain, defi, AI, chatbots...) or disruption is only skin deep. fair pushbacks but misleading. #banking #banks #fintech #innovation #disruption #financialservices …see more

Ignore the headline: here is a clip of political activist Lawrence Lessig explaining why the current system of campaign financing is corrupt and has to be dismantled; and why this issue is not political but fundamental to the well being of political parties. BTW, I'm a huge fan of The Joe Rogan Experience -- the best podcast bar none, imho. Only he can get such a wide variety of guests and have the respect to listen and have a real conversation. Very inspiring if you are thinking of launching a podcast and looking for examples of what makes for high quality content. #podcast #Lessig , …see more

We need a sustainable media business model -- handouts won't fix the problem. Tech companies should be the ones offering the media industry a sustainable business model -- instead they further weaken the industry. #journalism "No, tech companies shouldn’t fund journalism" https://lnkd.in/eSQP6Nn via @cjr …see more

Can a #bootstrapped #entrepreneur have her last laugh over a #VC -Funded one? Keep this cartoon in mind.
When GTP-3 was first released by OpenAI , it was used to generate some rather realistic articles. But soon after was used to write code, create a Figma plug-in that allows for UI design via a simple written description, and even was used in an A/B test for headline writing. So, while it may seem like a neat word-based tool now, I suspect graphic design and marketing messaging development is going drastically change in the next 5 years, if not sooner. #AL #ML #artificialintelligence #machinelearning #figma #openai #futureofwork #design #UX #UI …see more
