Just had the pleasure of seeing the second version of Coldplay's song from the Viva la Vida album, "Life in Technicolour". Its part of the following album from Coldplay called "Prospekt's March" (remixes and a few new songs).

The well known song Viva la Vida (it is the second song below) is the 7th title on the album with the same name. But the first song on the Viva la Vida album is called "Life in Technicolour" and is a song I really like a lot.

Coldplay released "Prospekt's March" at the end of November
The first song on this album is called Life in Technicolour II, similar to the first version from the previous album but longer and unlike the first version Coldplay are singing. The videoclip however is just great: the way the blond kid looks at the girl next to him when the music starts, the look on peoples faces, the explosions, hair blowing in the wind, reading '****ing hell' on the lips of the guy filming. The whole Punch and Judy approach is clever, with the devil that was often removed from such shows as it was seen as being inappropriate for children. Coldplay is obviously far worse than the devil in this version in view of the looks from the audience 😉 I'm happy to have purchased and as I have listened to it so many times going to work I've lost count...

The ONHT Framework for Intermediate users

This Intermediate Guide for the ONHT (Objective, Needs, How, Trajectory) Framework transforms you from someone who uses GenAI into someone who thinks with GenAI by adding the missing cognitive functions that current GenAI lacks. The framework works through three critical pillars – Empathy (understanding all stakeholders), Critical Thinking (challenging assumptions), and Human in the Loop (active partnership). Master these patterns and you'll be solving complex problems others can't even approach, becoming indispensable by designing interactions that produce exceptional results rather than just functional outputs.

The ONHT Framework: Beginners Guide

Stop getting generic AI responses. Learn the four-letter framework that transforms vague requests into precise results. The ONHT framework: Objective (what problem you're solving), Needs (key information that matters), How (the thinking approach), and Trajectory (clear steps to the answer), teaches you to think WITH AI, not through it, turning "analyse customer feedback" into board-ready insights. Real examples show how adding context and structure gets you from Level 1 basics to Level 3 mastery, where AI delivers exactly what you need.
The difference? Knowing how to ask.

The ONHT Framework: GenAI Prompting Solutions That Actually Work for People

GenAI tools are transforming work, but most people get poor results because they don't understand how to communicate with AI built on structured data. This guide is a series of articles that teaches the ONHT framework—a systematic approach to prompting that transforms vague requests into exceptional outputs by focusing on Objectives (what problem), Needs (what information), How (thinking approach), and Trajectory (path to solution). Master this framework and develop an expert mindset grounded in human-in-the-loop thinking, critical analysis, and empathy, and you'll excel with any AI tool, at any company, in any role.

The reliability & accuracy of GenAI

I question the reliability and accuracy of Generative AI (GenAI) in enterprise scenarios, particularly when faced with adversarial questions, highlighting that current Large Language Models (LLMs) may be data-rich but lack in reasoning and causality. I would call for a more balanced approach to AI adoption in cases of assisting users, requiring supervision, and the need for better LLM models that can be trusted, learn, and reason.
