We’ve had a thunder-and-lightning trio of days here in Bend, Oregon, and lost power on two of them (so far). We were relatively prepared – emergency lights, flashlights, candles, etc., thanks to my great wife Deb.

But to dive into my inevitable analogy, the storm fronts of AI that many have been buffeted by in the past 2-3 years have yet to impact many others – at least, not directly.

YET.

But the subtle, “hidden” impacts are likely to become less subtle as the stormy days of innovation and change continue on to the horizon.

If all you hear is thunder, the senses can become dulled. Even the lightning flashes of that new model or this mind-blowing new approach… well, anything can become the “new normal,” can’t it?
