Welcome to IoT Coffee Talk #208 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, Jan, Dimitri, Stephanie, Pete, Leonard, Steve, and Marc jump on Web3 to celebrate the 4th ANNIVERSARY of IOT COFFEE TALK and to talk about:

* BAD KARAOKE: "Beat It", Michael Jackson (with Steve Lukather & Eddie Van Halen)
* The IoT Coffee Talk origin story

* A trip down memory road - the first 10 episodes of IoT Coffee Talk
* GenAI shaming
* Why YouTube constantly picked photos of Stephanie for our YouTube thumbnails
* Rick's prediction that IoT Coffee Talk would die after a few weeks.... uh.
* Generative AI and Copilots/Duos, etc. - the enterprise cybersecurity nuke
* What would education look like with generative AI? Bueno or no bueno?
* Congrats to Rob with Caroline's graduation!
* Congrats to Charlie Key and Losant for making it on the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IIoT!
