Microsoft CoPilot and Gen-AI (with Daniel Laskewitz)
Former member of our Podcast team and Microsoft Cloud Advocate Daniel Laskewitz is now our guest. A great opportunity to check with him the status of Gen-AI at Microsoft. Before we dive into details with Daniel there are some very interesting tech items to discuss. We start with an article on the Verge telling us about how Microsofts Dall-e can filter out specific prompts that could let Copilot generate controversial images (https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/10/24096451/microsoft-blocks-terms-that-could-let-copilot-generate-controversial-images (https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/10/24096451/microsoft-blocks-terms-that-could-let-copilot-generate-controversial-images)). Local Gen-AI with RAG is something we have been looking at for a long time. Specifically with privacy heavy data (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/what-is-retrieval-augmented-generation/ (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/what-is-retrieval-augmented-generation/)). A big topic that Microsoft also implements at scale. Further Gen-AI features that Microsoft delivers can be found in the new partnership that is out there with Mistral AI (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-mistral-ai-announce-new-partnership-to-accelerate-ai-innovation-and-introduce-mistral-large-first-on-azure/ (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-mistral-ai-announce-new-partnership-to-accelerate-ai-innovation-and-introduce-mistral-large-first-on-azure/)). It really unlocks new Large Language Models to be used by developers.
All-in-all a fun episode to listen to, with some great Gen-AI updates from Microsoft.

Autonomous driving starts with one great vehicle (with Finn Lorbeer)
Our guest is Finn Lorbeer (Director of Engineering at MOIA). With him we find out why one great performing autonomous car can master autonomous driving. This opposed to a fleet of cars that are 'semi'-autonomous. There are some great examples of traffic jams caused by deadlocked autonomous cars (either stand-alone or with each other).
Our podcast is not complete without tech updates and in this episode we discuss the gadget guide of 2023 (which turns out not to be so innovative) and how AI can help Formula 1 to guard 1000's of track violations in one race (a digital referee of sorts).

Audiobook: Quality for DevOps teams
Published 11 Apr 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] This means picking up where the human -driven approach of TMAPHD started off and extrapolate that message even further. To go from, there is actually people working in your processes, towards, here is how you enable people to become awesome at delivering value to users. Empower the team, they build it, they run it. That is the main idea of bringing people together from various backgrounds into one team. This approach is called DevOps, a combination of the words development and operations. Keep in mind that DevOps is supposed to be a truly cross -functional way of working. In DevOps, all competences that are needed to go from the very first ideas to the actual implementation of, a part of, an IT system have to be present. […]
