- The elves aren’t happy. Santa has reduced head count by 50% by replacing them with AI Agents and Robots. The elves have turned to crime - cybercrime. The hacker elves are trying to steal Santa’s data! Luckily Santa uses Teleport - The Infrastructure Identity Platform! fandf.co/4oQdCwd
- Santa has some of the most sensitive and valuable information in the world! 🔴 Santa knows if you’ve been naughty or nice 🔴 Santa has access to every home in the world 🔴 Santa owns a world leading personalisation engine 🔴 Santa runs an unmatched global logistical operation
- If your identity systems are fragmented or use risky long-lived permissions, take some advice from the man himself and check out Teleport. fandf.co/4oQdCwd Thanks to Teleport for securing Christmas and for supporting this post! ✨

- Important life lesson. Don’t take on every challenge someone sets you!!! Yesterday someone said “you’ll never get a room of nerds up dancing” … of course, I did. And it was brilliant! Then someone said “we have to drink the remaining bar tab”… so of course, I tried!

- Reposted by Hannah FoxwellConversations about AI can be so divisive. There are still a lot of "nope" people and let's be honest, a lot of their concerns are valid. But we don't get better by shutting down those conversations. This is the meetup for you if you want to be able to have better, more informed, conversations.
