I’ll be giving the closing keynote at ThingsCon 2025 in Amsterdam on Friday December 12th.

Thank you Iskander Smit and crew for inviting me!

The working title I gave them: “Back to BASAAP”

“BASAAP stands for “Be As Smart As A Puppy” – something I originally wrote on a (physical) post it note back when I worked at Nokia in 2005 or 2006. For the past 20 years I’ve been exploring metaphors and experiences that might arise from the technology we call ‘AI’ – and while a lot of us now talk to LLMs every day – they still might not… B… ASAAP…”

Very pleased that I’ll be sharing the stage with old friends like James Bridle, Usman Haque and Kars Alfrink – and meeting new ones I’m sure.

The theme and line-up looks great – hope to see you there!
