Last night I launched my new training product.

I'm running an early adopter special. Follow, like, and DM me I'll pass it to you.

This thing is a huge value bomb of 6+ years working with AI both through my own AI tools, but also in high-stakes enterprise environments.

If you have managers saying "we need to use AI more" but no guidance, this is for you. You'll look like the AI rockstar on your team in no time.

@jessethanley @Jason Tachikawa!? I’m sure I can’t afford an All In event, but having one that close to where I live… after what feels like a decade following Jason’s work, would be cool. 😎

Too fun. Paladin and necro cards from Diablo 4. Created with new ChatGPT image gen.

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

Just replayed the Diablo 4 main campaign and the Vessel of Hatred expansion campaign.

Ready for Lord of Hatred. 🙌

@T_Zahil I wonder if the pricing changes of the API will help. Cheaper reads, more expensive writes. May lead to less automated content. Might not.

I’m hopeful. We’ll see. But I’ve mostly moved on from here too.

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

@Jason I’m in.

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

I couldn't disagree more. AI will become an intelligence layer that make software smarter and more capable.

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.

Almost nobody understood what he said.

Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Not tech startups.

The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.

The businesses that actually run the physical economy.

They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.

Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Software is dead.

The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.

AI ends the contract.

The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.

But customized by whom.

The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.

Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”

That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.

Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.

Let them fight.

Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.

Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.

It collects where the brain meets the business.

Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.

Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.

Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.

That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.

You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.

33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.

Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

I recorded a voiceover for this one: https://t.co/9wgaPjJHq9

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

Everyone wants to skip to agents.

Most people at work haven’t learned to get a chatbot to draft a decent email yet. Can’t get a useful summary out of a meeting transcript. Can’t tell when the model’s bullshitting them.

And we’re pitching them autonomous agents.

We’re skipping reps and wondering why nothing sticks in the org.

Will the AI/robotics companies be taxed at such a high level that this becomes possible?

Or are they going to produce the goods and services for free? how do they cover costs?

What will incentivize exploration into new products and services?

Maybe some day this could happen, but this is like a 100 year change. If that.

IMO obvisouly. I'm just some schmo on the internet.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

@OmriBuilds And the willpower to keep showing up every day to build it.
Then there's that wall right before you're about done with it and you start doubting yourself.
What a crazy rollercoaster ride isn't it?

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

I made something Chamath. Launched it yesterday.

This is great advice. Even the best of us can run into that resistance beast Steven Pressfield describes in his book the War of Art.

From here on X it looks like everyone is creating but it's such a small number of people who do.

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

@landforce Oh yea, I'm the "* Engineer", bow down before me!

😜

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

@TeslaModelDoge Don, don, don... don-ki... lol

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

Palmer gets it.

It's especially happening in the AI space.

The hype is pushing people to create things that don't work for the worker/business.

As someone who works in one of the largest enterprises in the world the struggle I see staff trying to make it work is real.

So I launched some training I think helps solve that gap. Launched it just yesterday.

The first area a business can win with AI is also one of the easiest - give your staff the tools to solve their day to day challenges. Those tiny wins stack up.

[Chad Thiele @ChibiChaddeus]

@IDerech Oooh, that’s coool. Nice shot.

And I didn’t know it was actually called the blue hour. Thanks.
