Gen Z slang is rife with new words like "unalive," "skibidi" and "rizz." Where do these words come from — and how do they get popular so fast? Linguist Adam Aleksic explores how the forces of social media algorithms are reshaping the way people talk and view their very own identities.

#87 How to Successfully Integrate AI into Your Business, with Tim Leers (Global Generative & Agentic AI Lead) 1:07:28

לפני 8 ימים1:07:28

1:07:28

Send us a text What happens when AI hype collides with enterprise reality? Tim Leers, Global Generative & Agentic AI Lead at Dataroots, pulls back the curtain on what's actually working—and what's not—in enterprise AI deployment today. We begin by examining why companies like Klarna publicly announced replacing customer service teams with AI, only to quietly backtrack months later when quality suffered. This pattern of inflated expectations followed by reality checks has become common, creating what Tim calls "AI theater" – impressive demos with minimal business impact. The conversation tackles the often misunderstood concept of "agentic AI." Rather than viewing it as a specific technology, Tim frames agency as fundamentally about delegated authority – the ability to trust AI systems with meaningful responsibilities. However, this delegation requires contextual intelligence—providing the right data at the right time—which most organizations struggle to implement effectively. "Models are commodities, data is your moat," Tim explains, arguing that proprietary business context will remain the key differentiator even as AI models continue advancing. This perspective challenges the conventional wisdom that focuses primarily on model capabilities rather than data infrastructure. Perhaps most valuably, Tim outlines three pillars for successful enterprise AI: contextual intelligence, continuous improvement (designing systems that evolve with changing business contexts), and human-AI collaboration. This framework shifts focus from technology deployment to sustainable business value creation. The discussion concludes with eight practical lessons for organizations implementing generative AI, from avoiding the temptation to build proprietary models to recognizing that teaching employees to prompt effectively isn't sufficient for enterprise-wide adoption. Each lesson reinforces a central theme: successful AI implementation requires designing for change rather than building rigid systems that quickly become obsolete. Whether you're a technical leader evaluating vendor claims or a business executive trying to separate AI reality from fantasy, this episode provides the practical guidance needed to move beyond the hype cycle toward meaningful implementation.…

#86 What’s Next for Kubernetes? KubeCon 2025 Recap with Nick Schouten 1:03:20

לפני 5 weeks1:03:20

1:03:20

Send us a text Welcome to the cozy corner of the tech world! Datatopics is your go-to spot for relaxed discussions around tech, news, data, and society. In this episode of Data Topics , we sit down with Nick Schouten — data engineer at dataroots — for a full recap of KubeCon Europe 2025 and a deep dive into the current and future state of Kubernetes. We talk through what’s actually happening in the Kubernetes ecosystem — from platform engineering trends to AI infra challenges — and why some teams are doubling down while others are stepping away. Here’s what we cover: What Kubernetes actually is , and how to explain it beyond the buzzword When Kubernetes is the right choice (e.g., hybrid environments, GPU-heavy workloads) — and when it’s overkill How teams are trying to host LLMs and AI models on Kubernetes , and the blockers they’re hitting (GPUs, complexity, cost) GitOps innovations spotted at KubeCon — like tools that convert UI clicks into Git commits for infrastructure-as-code Why observability is still one of Kubernetes’ biggest weaknesses , and how a wave of new startups are trying to solve it The push to improve developer experience for ML and data teams (no more YAML overload) The debate around abstraction vs control — and how some teams are turning away from Kubernetes entirely in favor of simpler tools What “ vibe coding ” means in an LLM-driven world, and how voice-to-code workflows are changing how we write infrastructure Whether the future of Kubernetes is more “visible and accessible,” or further under the hood If you're a data engineer, MLOps practitioner, platform lead, or simply trying to stay ahead of the curve in infrastructure and AI — this episode is packed with relevant insights from someone who's hands-on with both the tools and the teaching.…
