?? Is AI a Game-Changer or Just a Costly Experiment? ???? Businesses are pouring BILLIONS into AI, but how many actually know if it’s paying off? Most organizations invest in AI without measuring its real impact in $$—and that’s a problem. That’s why in this episode of Security Wala, I sat down with Todd Smith, CEO of Opnbook, to uncover the truth about AI’s business value and ROI. ?? What we discussed: How to measure AI’s real financial return (ROI) and avoid common investment mistakes. - Why most businesses misunderstand AI adoption—and how to fix it. - The hidden risks of AI security, governance, and compliance. - Is AI making companies money, or are they just following hype? - Where AI’s real value lies in the next 5 years. ?? If your company is investing in AI or planning to, this episode is a MUST-WATCH. ?? Watch now: ?? https://lnkd.in/e3Tu-NN8 ?? What do you think—does AI actually deliver business value, or is it just another tech trend?

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” That quote by Steve Jobs has always struck a chord with me. It’s a reminder that bold ideas — the kind that truly change the world — come from those who dare to believe that anything is possible. Almost a year ago, I embarked on a journey that feels less like starting a company and more like answering a calling. Together with Todd Smith and Michal Ashby, we founded Opnbook — a company built on the principle of radical transparency. We didn’t choose the name by accident. It reflects a commitment to openness, honesty, and challenging the conventional ways of doing things. For many months, our team has been working in stealth mode, obsessing over every detail, driven by a belief that what we’re building will leave a lasting impact. And while we’re still at basecamp, looking up at the climb ahead, I know in my heart that we’re onto something that could reshape the future. Opnbook isn’t just about building another product. It’s about reimagining what’s possible. It’s about solving problems that matter and pushing boundaries in ways that inspire us every day. The goal isn’t to disrupt for the sake of disruption — it’s to create something so valuable for our planet, that the world simply can’t ignore it. To everyone who has ever been part of my journey — your belief, ideas, and unwavering support have meant everything. Thank you. And to those who are curious about what’s next — stay tuned. We’re just getting started. This is a post for the crazy ones who see the world differently, and have the audacity to build something new in support of a better, and brighter future. Here’s to building something extraordinary. JG

We’re on the verge of 1,000 followers, but this isn’t just a milestone—it’s a movement. AI, Cloud, and HPC are consuming massive resources. Companies keep throwing more hardware, more power, and more money at the problem. But scaling should mean efficiency, not waste. That’s why we built TAHO: *Run AI workloads faster—without adding infrastructure *Cut compute costs by up to 90% *Autonomously optimize performance across hybrid environments If you’re already following, you’re ahead of the curve. Know someone who should be? Tag them or send them our way. The future of compute efficiency is here: https://opnbook.com/

AI is incredible, but its energy consumption is a serious challenge. Just looking up one thing can use as much energy as a 100-watt light bulb running for an hour ?? AI data centers are power-hungry and water-intensive—some consume energy on the scale of small towns. But where there’s a problem, there’s an opportunity for innovation. That’s exactly what TAHO is here to solve. What are your thoughts on AI’s environmental impact? #AI #Sustainability #Innovation #EnergyEfficiency #Technology

First of all Zain Kahn absolutely wins LinkedIn today with this flawless post. That said, we at Opnbook are asking a bold question: Can we get more videos of cats making burgers—without spending billions (or trillions, since that’s actually the plan) more? The answer? Yes. With TAHO, AI can scale and develop at a fraction of the cost.

More GPUs. More data centers. More energy. More cost. More waste. But what if scaling didn’t require more? AI, Cloud, and High-Performance Computing workloads are pushing infrastructure to the limit. Companies keep throwing hardware at the problem—driving costs higher, straining energy grids, and barely keeping up. ?? TAHO changes everything. Instead of adding more, it makes what you already have more powerful. * Run AI, Cloud, and HPC workloads faster—without adding new hardware. * Cut infrastructure costs while reducing energy waste. * Deploy instantly. Optimize autonomously. Scale seamlessly. More compute. More efficiency. More results. Without the waste. TAHO is the next evolution in AI & Cloud efficiency. Ready to see it in action? ??

Todd on the pod alert! Kammil M. and Todd Smith dive into how to measure AI’s real value in business—a great listen for anyone navigating AI investments. It’s a great reunion between two old friends who worked together in Facebook’s pre-IPO days, now catching up on the future of technology. Check it out??

AI is hitting a limit. Compute bottlenecks, rising costs, and infrastructure strain are slowing progress. Enter TAHO—a software breakthrough that removes inefficiencies: * More performance from every watt—without new hardware. * Optimizes AI training & inference for lower costs and better efficiency. * No complex setup, no manual tuning, just results. ??
