Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #206 where we have a chat about all things IoT over a cup of coffee or two with some of the industry's leading business minds, thought leaders and technologists in a totally unscripted, organic format. Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

This week, Rob, Marc, Pete, Leonard, Eric and Dimitri jump on Web3 to talk about:

* BAD KARAOKE: "Black and Blue", Van Halen
* How a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut
* Big GenAI news of the week! Meta Llama 3. Does it matter?
* Why TinyLMs will be a bigger deal than LLMs
* How to capture 80 percent of IoT value without all that fancy AI stuff...
* Did you know that bridges get hit all the time? You wouldn't now without IoT
* TinyML is burning the other end of the AI compression candle
* The tragedy of Green Earth washing. Do we really care?
* AI at the edge is making it easier to get that 80% business value of IoT
* Profit is a good thing. There isn't enough of it in a world of speculation
* The worship of the techno Messiah and the rise of techno feudalism
* What is IoT value?

It's a great episode. Grab an extraordinarily expensive latte at your local coffee shop and check out the whole thing. You will get all you need to survive another week in the world of IoT and greater tech!
