Hey Creators, I haven't been posting daily like usual because I am just hella busy these few days up until Christmas. Landed a new contract for the holidays and let me tell you...it has to be a better way. So, I haven't forgotten you all...just totally swamp. So, swamp I haven't even been down the AI rabbit hole! I'll be back online Sunday perhaps.

(my article posted in another community, figured I'd better share it here too!) AgentOps isn’t just another buzzword—it’s the new frontier where automation stops being brittle scripts and starts acting like living systems. Think of it as the operational backbone for autonomous AI agents: the folks who keep the gears turning, the policies enforced, and the workflows humming without chaos. Instead of static, rule‑based bots, we’re talking dynamic, context‑aware agents that can negotiate, adapt, and execute across enterprise systems. And someone has to wrangle them. That’s AgentOps: the “air traffic control” tower for fleets of autonomous AI workers. Big players—Salesforce, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle—are already rolling out agent platforms and waving the AgentOps banner. Translation: this isn’t fringe anymore. It’s becoming a strategic priority, and the demand curve is only pointing up. --- 🧰 What You Need in Your Toolkit 1️⃣ Foundations First - 📚 Computer science, software engineering, data science basics - 🔑 Algorithms, data structures, lifecycle thinking - 🤖 Bonus: AI/ML, NLP, reinforcement learning 2️⃣ Technical Muscle - 🛠️ Platforms: IBM watsonx, Microsoft Power Platform, Salesforce AI, Oracle Fusion AI - 💻 Languages: Python, Java, JavaScript - ☁️ Cloud fluency: AWS, Azure, GCP 3️⃣ Ops + Analytics Mindset - 🔍 Monitoring, debugging, troubleshooting distributed workflows - ⚙️ Hybrid automation: RPA + AI orchestration - 🛡️ Governance & compliance awareness 4️⃣ Credentials & Badges - 🎓 Degrees in CS, IT, or data science - 📜 Certifications in AI, ML, cloud, RPA - 🏅 Vendor‑specific training (IBM AgentOps certs, etc.) 5️⃣ Human Skills (Still Matter) - 🧩 Problem‑solving & critical thinking - 🗣️ Communication across devs, data scientists, stakeholders - 🔄 Adaptability in fast‑mutating tech stacks --- 🌍 Why This Matters Enterprises are pouring billions into AI agents.

Hey Creators, I didn't notice that Eleven Labs can do music now! Move over Suno...Eleven Labs is the new AI kid in town for music generation. I guess I had been so focused on the voice stuff that I hadn't noticed they added a music generator to their platform. I will have to check it out to compare to what Suno does.

Hey Creators, I experimented with animating a multi-image photo to see what the AI would do and I think Grok wins this one. The first Kling one came out so wrong. The second one a little better but Grok still wins. The 1st video is Grok, the second is Kling. The hands in the Kling one appears distorted. Grok was free but Kling ended up costing me 100 credits because I had to run it twice because the first generation was totally messed up and weird.

I’m so excited! The album of songs I wrote to accompany the release of my latest novel, Hidden Crowns, dropped today on Spotify. I originally wanted to create a theme song for the book but I kept going and ended up with 20 songs that coincide with the story chapters. The story is factionalized but the Royal 5 Princes is actually based on a real Prince I know, I just broke him into 3 different people to protect his identity and the other 2 are remnants of other men I’ve dated. Aww the powers of storytelling! But I love these stories because they are based on some of my real travel adventures over the years. And the songs turned out quite lovely. I’m excited about this project. The book will be coming out this holiday season. Inshallah! 🙏🏼🤞 I’m using the artist name Natti-Z, songwriting credits are under my legal name by law. Publisher is under Pretty Posh Music. Producer credits go to my NatAIverse empire! Enjoy! Here’s the link to the songs: https://open.spotify.com/track/0Tqu7bYP7ic28HfTrMCwW0?si=u9gnrFtATjiuegZQ4NgI_Q
