IMHO, if you're sitting in presentations all day, you're doing it wrong. 😄

I **really** like this post from @dries@indieweb.social - it explains 2 AI implementation approaches that I’ve been thinking about lately but haven’t found the right words for. Dries calls them “outside in” and “inside out”.

My default thinking is often “outside in” - probably because I’m a bit of a control freak for some (many?) things.

If you build AI solutions - this post is well worth your time.

Great example of using AI on an organization-wide scale responsibly. 🤝🤖

@palantir@mastodon.social explains how it did the difficult work of crafting policies around AI usage. 📋✨

It sounds like @dripyard@drupal.community themes are more than just skin-deep - there's some serious code involved to ensure they work without any dependencies other than #drupal core. 💻⚡🎨
