My god. Sickeningly unethical. Email directive from Bari Weiss to 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon: “Can we make the protesters look more violent? […] The other thing was, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”

🚨 BREAKING: Trump has a complete MELTDOWN on Meet the Press. Kristen Welker presses him on his wild California election conspiracies. Trump calls her “crooked” and “stupid,” calls the press crooked, calls Meet the Press crooked, and throws a tantrum about how unfair everything is. Then he dramatically storms out mid-interview like a toddler who lost at recess. Classic Trump: zero answers, all insults, instant exit. Thank you, Kristen Welker — this is how you handle him. 🔥

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President. Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that.

This is a devastating interview. Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good. Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

To all my #ciochat HigherEd folks, what timing, with finals happening for many. time.com/article/2026/05/08/…

Common Control Planes Will Become Standard for Agentic AI Just announced at #IbmThink  One of the biggest challenges in enterprise AI right now is not building agents. It’s managing them in production. As enterprises move beyond experimentation, they’re deploying AI agents across different clouds, frameworks, platforms, and operating environments. That creates exactly the kind of complexity you would expect: fragmented orchestration, inconsistent security, uneven governance, limited observability, and far too much glue code holding everything together. That’s why a centralized control plane for agents is such a smart move. IBM appears to have recognized this with watsonx Orchestrate. It looks like a move toward a common layer for orchestration, governance, security, and operations across heterogeneous agent deployments. I’m designing many of these architectures for enterprises right now, and this issue comes up every time. We almost always end up solving it with a hodgepodge of technologies that were never really designed to work together as a unified operational model for agentic systems. That approach may work in the short term, but it does not scale well. It’s expensive, brittle, hard to govern, and increasingly difficult to secure. My view is that common control planes will become standard equipment for most enterprise agentic deployments. The market is moving beyond the question of how to build intelligent agents. The bigger question is how to manage large numbers of them across complex, mixed environments without creating operational chaos. That’s the real value here. Enterprise AI success will not come from intelligence alone. It will come from reducing the complexity of heterogeneous AI deployments behind common control planes. Looks like IBM got the memo. #AI #AgenticAI #EnterpriseAI #IBM #watsonx #CloudComputing #AIOperations #Governance #Security #Orchestration #DigitalTransformation Manage all your AI agents in one place with watsonx Orchestrate ibm.com/new/announcements/ma…

. @smerconish Scott Galloway a great guest, thoughtful and logical perspectives

I’m afraid that’s right. AI token costs are going to rise quite a lot, because agents can create value so easily/quickly. But it’s still much cheaper than human labor. So there is plenty of available budget to “hire AI” when you look it that way.

.@smerconish You are conflating 2 separate questions, Should Iran get a Nuclear Weapon and Is this war justified at this moment in time. You also leave out all the innocent lives being lost. for 50 yrs Iran has been weeks away from having a bomb, why now?

Thats not how i was taught math, percentages, and statistics. Literally just making things up with false logic

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

The “API is the UI.” It is indeed. As agents do more and more interaction with our software for us, agentically, they must use APIs. The API, for AI, is literally the UI it’ll be how work gets done. The real issue: Agents will disintermediate tech firms from their customers.

Companies fail by over-relying on AI, neglecting human creativity and empathy. True business success hinges on balancing technology with the irreplaceable human touch. #BusinessStrategy #AICreativity #HumanElement

Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”

Enterprises aren't adopting new tech as fast as vendors expect. Legacy systems, regulations, and culture often block adoption. There's a huge gap between tech providers' vision and enterprises' reality. #TechAdoption #AI #Enterprise

JUST IN: Renee Nicole Good, 37, has been identified as the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Her mother, Donna Ganger, told the Minnesota Star Tribune that her daughter “was probably terrified” when she tried to drive away and that she was “not part of anything like that at all,” referring to protests against ICE.

This could wind up being the most-watched newsmagazine segment in television history!! Congratulations to the Ellisons and Bari Weiss!!!
