Cloud Computing InsiderAgentic AI Playbook Spam: Why "Proven" Agentic AI Frameworks and Strategies Are Not WorkingIn this video, David Linthicum breaks down the sudden explosion of "agentic AI" playbooks, frameworks, and branded platforms now pouring out of the consulting industry. Every big firm wants to look like it owns the future of autonomous work, so the market is being flooded with glossy diagrams, maturity models, and "fast paths" that promise cheap, repeatable success—sometimes with language that feels close to a guarantee. But agentic AI is not a plug-in. It's an architecture, and architecture only works when it matches your processes, data quality, controls, integration realities, and operating model. When frameworks lead wi...

Dave Linthicum Is Not AIWhy 'AI Agent Marketplaces' Are the Next Big ScamAI agents are the new buzzword in enterprise tech, but the real question isn't "can we build them?"—it's "can we actually sell them in a way enterprises will trust and fund?" This video, from a Dave Linthicum-style vantage point, cuts through the marketing gloss and treats agents as what they really are: autonomous software systems wired into messy, mission-critical environments. We unpack what an AI agent actually is, how it differs from a simple chatbot or workflow, and what it takes architecturally to move from a cool demo to a production-grade capability. From there, we tackle the...

Cloud Computing InsiderBig Cloud's Default Trap: How Apple, AWS, Google, and Microsoft Capture Your DataBig Tech says it's "backup," "sync," and "convenience"—but what happens when your computer quietly starts moving your personal files into the cloud by default? In this episode, David Linthicum breaks down a growing industry pattern: technology providers designing defaults that automatically capture your data, route it into their storage platforms, and make that choice feel inevitable. We start with the Microsoft Windows 11 upgrade experience, where many users discover Desktop, Documents, and Pictures being pushed into OneDrive through folder redirection and persistent prompts—often without a clear, informed decision at setup. From there, we connect the dots to Apple's iClo...

2024-12-2023 minCloud Computing InsiderHow Public Cloud Providers Are Fumbling the AI OpportunityThe rapid growth of AI workloads presents both an opportunity and challenge for public cloud providers. While the overall cloud market is projected to reach $2 trillion by 2030, with AI driving significant growth, cost considerations may limit cloud providers' ability to capture this opportunity. Infrastructure costs for AI workloads, particularly those requiring specialized GPU resources, are substantially higher in public clouds compared to traditional data centers and colocation facilities. This cost differential is especially pronounced for inference workloads, which could represent up to 90% of AI compute by 2030 and can be up to 75% cheaper when run on-premises.
