“You’re telling me up to HALF of the energy that powers a data center is being used just to cool the computers?!” ⚡️ Valvoline is playing role in fixing that. Which is super important as more data centers come online to support America’s AI ambitions. If you’re like us, you might’ve only thought of Valvoline as the place you take your car when you’re a thousand miles overdue for an oil change. These days, they’re doing a lot more than just ensuring your car continues to run smoothly. They’re also ensuring that data centers operate more efficiently by innovating on the approach to keeping computers cool. Super cool experience getting to see how a multi-billion dollar company drives innovation that has a global impact, right here in our back yard. Our full episode with Valvoline drops tomorrow. It’s a bit different from our typical focus on startups, but equally important to shed some light on the innovation happening at the large corporate companies that call KY home as well.

When asked for advice on pitching, Dr. Elijah Jensen had a few great pieces of advice: practice, pitch solo, and know your audience. A smooth pitch takes rehearsal, especially if you’re co-presenting—either designate a single speaker or be meticulously prepared with your roles. Keep your pitch concise and know your audience. Tailor the content depending on who’s in the room; for example, engineers will want technical insights, while finance professionals are more interested in the business model. A successful pitch balances what matters most to each listener, showing that you know how to connect with any crowd.

When asked about the challenges faced as an entrepreneur, Cindy Sparks shared the weight of responsibility that comes with working for yourself. “If you sulk for a week, that might mean layoffs—there are real consequences for not showing up every day,” Cindy emphasized the importance of building strong systems, routines, and strategies to help her team bring their best each day and stay aligned on a shared vision. Unlike a corporate environment where the vision is already set, Cindy noted that entrepreneurship demands creating that direction from scratch and ensuring everyone is focused on the same goals, every single day.

When asked about the challenges faced as an entrepreneur, Cindy Sparks shared the weight of responsibility that comes with working for yourself. “If you sulk for a week, that might mean layoffs—there are real consequences for not showing up every day,” Cindy emphasized the importance of building strong systems, routines, and strategies to help her team bring their best each day and stay aligned on a shared vision. Unlike a corporate environment where the vision is already set, Cindy noted that entrepreneurship demands creating that direction from scratch and ensuring everyone is focused on the same goals, every single day.

In a twist no one saw coming (except the infrared drone), the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office used their new tech toy to find Henry Harris, a suspect lying in a ditch 100 yards from his mother’s house. Harris bolted after police arrived for violating a Domestic Violence Protective Order, which was put in place for assaulting and stealing from his mother (real stand-up guy). Karma came in the form of Zeus, the latest addition to the sheriff’s office—a drone with infrared capabilities perfect for hunting down suspects at night. Once deputies got close, Harris led them on a foot pursuit through rough terrain and barbed wire fences, only to be tackled by a deputy and placed under arrest. Next time you think about running from the law, remember: they literally have infrared got drones. How would you go about escaping Zeus?  #DroneZone #KentuckyTech #CaughtInTheAct

We’ve teamed up with @hnsckr for their Fireside Convos, and their last event was incredible! We dived into aging and longevity, discussing if aging should be considered a disease. We covered everything from reactionary medicine to the need for a shift towards preventative healthcare. These Fireside Convos are always enlightening and packed with amazing people. Until next time! #conversation #aging #technology #discussion

GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 has just passed the Turing Test with flying colors. This test, which measures whether an AI can mimic human conversation well enough to fool a human, has been a THE benchmark for AI progress since the ‘50s. Alan Turing, or anyone else from that era, would likely be fascinated by this breakthrough, seeing it as a moon-landing-esque achievement in technology. However, he’d also be horrified, realizing we’ve created machines capable of flawless human imitation and potential deception. #Ai #ChatGPT #TuringTest #ArtificialIntelligence

Well, folks, it looks like McDonald’s AI drive-thru test with IBM has hit a red light. After a year of trying to get computers to take your Big Mac orders without a hitch, the fast-food giant has decided to pull the plug. This supposed tech marvel was meant to revolutionize your fast-food pit stop but ended up being more of a bump in the road. So, while your friendly human drive-thru attendant gets a breather, don’t celebrate too hard—this victory is as fleeting. Sure, human workers, enjoy this momentary win against the rise of the robots. IBM’s AI might have tripped over its own digital feet, but don’t let that fool you. This hiccup is just a minor speed bump on AI’s relentless highway; the tech titans will be back, better and probably with fewer glitches. The march towards automation is inevitable, and this setback is nothing more than a cautionary tale. So, while McDonald’s re-evaluates its AI ambitions, remember: the future is still very much automated, even if it has to pause for a McMuffin. #McDonalds #Ai #ArtificialIntelligence

Donald Trump claims electric vehicles (EVs) are a “radical plan” threatening American freedom. But Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear isn’t buying it. Beshear argues that political posturing doesn’t stack up against the concrete benefits of job creation. And Beshear has good reason to brag. The EV sector has injected nearly $12 billion into Kentucky, promising over 10,200 full-time jobs. With the state’s largest-ever economic development project underway, Beshear’s and the Bluegrass are betting big on EVs, confident they’ll drive past any political potholes and keep Kentucky’s economy buzzing. What do you think: Are EVs the future or just another political battleground? #Kentucky #ElectricCars #Tesla #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #AndyBeshear

Apple will be dropping a bombshell at WWDC 2024: they’re teaming up with OpenAI for iOS 18, says Bloomberg. Get ready for your phone to be smarter than you are. iOS 18 is getting an AI makeover with tools embedded in Safari, Photos, and Notes. Plus, Siri’s getting a major upgrade with a more natural voice and generative capabilities, meaning that Siri will finally be able to do something.  This isn’t just an upgrade—it’s Apple saying, “Hold my beer.” Expect AI-generated transcripts, turbocharged Safari searches, and a “smart recap” that gives you a summary of missed notifications. iOS 18 is set to redefine what your phone can do.

When asked for advice on pitching, Dr. Elijah Jensen had a few great pieces of advice: practice, pitch solo, and know your audience. A smooth pitch takes rehearsal, especially if you’re co-presenting—either designate a single speaker or be meticulously prepared with your roles. Keep your pitch concise and know your audience. Tailor the content depending on who’s in the room; for example, engineers will want technical insights, while finance professionals are more interested in the business model. A successful pitch balances what matters most to each listener, showing that you know how to connect with any crowd.

The multimedia revolution has transformed everything—from how we deliver information to how we approach the games we play. When Mitch Barnhart first became the athletic director, the focus was on facilities. Now, while facilities are still important, they’re expected rather than a key recruiting factor. In today’s NIL landscape, recruiting, communication, and fan engagement have all shifted dramatically. The pageantry of putting on a game has become a full-blown show. 📷 Listen or watch now using the link in bio! #Universityofkentucky #athletics #sports #sharethelex

Let’s talk about parking. It’s the Achilles heel of many developments. In the suburbs, parking is often free, but it drags down returns and drives up costs for urban developments. Structured parking can cost up to $25,000 per space, and subterranean garages double that. Remember—it’s expensive to park because it’s expensive to build. @rossboggess #parking #lexingtonky #development #sharethelex
