GPU power is advancing so fast -- and companies are willing to spend so aggressively that they'll only rent the newest model GPUs -- that previous-gen GPUs are effectively worthless. That means data center economics don't work, because you can't recoup the cost of installing GPUs before they become un-rentable. https://lnkd.in/gagATgG2

As leaders, we’re often forced to confront uncomfortable math. Here’s one that deserves more attention: -> Product returns can cost up to 65% of the product’s value. -> Warranty replacements usually cost a fraction of that. Yet many merchants still default to refunds because it feels faster, safer, and avoids short‑term customer friction. But in the long term? It quietly erodes margin and trains customers into high-cost behaviors. The real unlock isn’t operational heroics—it’s clarity. When customers clearly understand: -what’s returnable, -what’s covered under warranty, and -for how long… …support teams move faster, costs go down, and customer trust goes up. Returns and warranties serve different purposes. Treating them as interchangeable is the real risk. Full breakdown in the first comment. #leadership #businessoperations #ecommerce

Bruce Shields from Carhartt joined us on the most recent episode of The Frictionless Experience podcast, and he gave Nick Paladino and me a masterclass in how data and design actually come together. Here are some of the biggest takeaways: - UX maturity is a spectrum. Carhartt started with “UX = design.” Today, it’s about testing, personalization, and optimization at scale. - Data before design. Wireframes now get modeled against revenue goals before a single creative decision is made. - Confirmation bias is real. Early testing was used to prove assumptions. The shift came when Carhartt reframed “failed” tests as wins that brought them closer to the truth. - Benchmarks change the game. Two years of homepage interaction data turned into predictive models that can forecast component performance. - The metric to watch. Conversion rate between category pages and product detail pages is one of the most reliable predictors of revenue. - Clicks aren’t the enemy. An extra click that gives users clarity is better than a shorter, confusing journey. - Segmentation matters. New customers and loyal repeat buyers need completely different experiences. - Culture counts. A low-ego, high-curiosity environment made it possible to embed testing and data into everyday decisions. Every one of these points could have been its own episode. Big thanks to Bruce for bringing so much depth (and for making me jealous of Carhartt’s framed jackets).

Your PMM role is changing: How to build human+AI workflows that define what's next That's what I'll cover on April 1 at Product Marketing Alliance's Product Marketing Summit in Denver. I will show HOW I guide AI live using various AI platforms. Your launch campaign workflow could connect positioning, messaging, content, and sales enablement in one flow. Your sales enablement workflow could build pitch decks, dynamic sales prep dashboards, and interactive ROI calculators. This becomes possible when you move from using AI to building with it. The PMM's job is changing. Trailblazing PMMs are building AI teammates trained on their expertise, connecting them into workflows across functions, and deciding how humans and AI work together. They're writing the new job description themselves. You'll see real workflows for product launches and sales enablement, and a tool that helps you identify which workflows to build and which AI teammates to connect. You'll learn: ► How to find workflow ideas and decide which are worth building for PMM work ► How to design workflows that create new value, not just speed up existing processes ► How to evolve your role from AI user to builder and orchestrator Looking forward to learning from an insightful line-up of speakers on April 1-2. Come join us. See link in comments for more info and to register.

Utah GTM leaders...we need to get in a room :) Too much is changing with AI to figure this out alone. So tomorrow we’re pulling people together with Silicon Slopes. Just real talk on what’s working and what’s not. Yes, there’ll be food (Aubergine Kitchen) Yes, a Silicon Slopes founder will break down AI (David Elkington) Yes, a best-selling author will share insights from his new book Freemium and on practical AI. Dave Boyce But the real value? The conversation. Leaders talking to leaders about how we adapt GTM in this AI era. It’s open, it’s chill, and it’s public. Bring a friend. Link in the first comment.
