The document discusses three key ways that ideas can be improved:
1. Idea evolution - adapting and learning from the original idea over time through iterations.
2. Combining - bringing together different ideas, technologies, people and approaches to create new combinations that were not originally envisioned.
3. Experimenting and testing - piloting ideas in the real world, talking to potential customers and experts, and using data from experiments to learn what works and refine ideas. Running small, cheap tests is emphasized over lengthy planning.
The summary captures the main message around how ideas can evolve, be combined creatively with other elements, and improved through real-world experimentation, as discussed in the document.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Editor's Notes
Company White water rafting, survival training, fishing & canoeing. Fine in Summer, but in winter when it was dark and cold – tourist wanted as much to do with him as, a modelling agent would want to Quaizmodo. So, he travelled the world and thought that he would hold a ice art exhibition. However, day before the exhibition the tempraturesunually rose and all the art melting. Being a quick witted fellow. Bergvist decided to hold a seminar on how to make ice art. What he found is that a number of the guest started making igloos and talking about wanting to spend a night in an igloo. So, he chucked on the ice scuplture idea as so the ice hotel was born. 33,000 vistors now visit the Ice Hotel every year and 11,000 guest stay over night making Bergvist very successful in the process.
Evan Williams is an entrepreneur that founded 2 of the top 10 internet sites. Blogger and Twitter. What is interesting about both start ups is that his initial plan or “guess” were different to the final business. Pyra Labs which become blogger was initially a project management software company, a note taking feature of the software was spun off at blogger. Odeo was a podcast company that he realised as going no where, his guess was wrong, he through decided do a brainstorm session that resulted in twitter.
