Philosophy Mondays: Human-AI Collaboration
Today's Philosophy Monday is an important interlude. I want to reveal that I have not been writing the posts in this series entirely by myself. Instead I have been working with Claude, not just for the graphic illustrations, but also for the text. My method has been to write a rough draft and then ask Claude for improvement suggestions. I will expand this collaboration to other intelligences going forward, including open source models such as Llama and DeepSeek. I will also explore other moda...

This Friday I will be meeting with some of the senior management from a major branded retail chain in the US to talk about how the web and mobile are impacting their business. In preparation, I am thinking about key relevant trends. Here are some that are top of mind:
Reaching people via mobile as they are at or near a store (for loyalty, specials, etc).
Ability for people in-store (again via mobile) to share their experience, comparison shop, and even place an order from the retailer itself or from a competitor.
Social discovery of products to purchase via Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook and others person-to-person vectors becoming more important relative to traditional advertising and marketing.
Rise of group purchasing / daily deals.
Merchandising (or is it really attention routing?) via celebrities and others with an existing audience.
Growing interest in customized experiences and differentiated or even unique products.
Would love to hear from others what I should be adding to this list of trends impacting retailers both online and offline (realizing that with mobile the notion of “offline” is really beginning to break down).
