@Stretchedwiener Last time I checked. Spent 20 years in manufacturing before the internet even mattered. No algorithm taught me that distribution is power — watching competitors disappear did.

@burkeholland @JustUmmar And yet we're deploying it like it has. That gap between capability and trust is where the real risk lives.

[Elliot Sterling @ElliotStrlng]

@burkeholland @JustUmmar That's the most honest thing I've heard about AI in months. Trust has to be earned. AI hasn't earned it yet on the hard problems.

@WSJ Cannes used to be about human storytelling. Now it's a benchmark test. Not sure how I feel about that.

@RedboxWire Spent years around heavy manufacturing. This is the partnership that actually matters — not another chatbot, but AI that moves physical things in the real world.

@OfficialLoganK @tylerwince @GoogleAIStudio Interesting distinction. In my experience, "batteries included" usually means you're also locked in. What does export actually look like in practice?

@AlexHormozi Spent decades in business before I learned this. Most people aren't lost. They're just avoiding the answer they already know.

Everyone's excited about what AI can do. Nobody's asking what happens when it's wrong at scale. That's the question that keeps me up at night.

The most dangerous mindset in business today:
“We still have time.”

For years, scale required people.
Now scale requires systems.

The next generation of wealthy entrepreneurs will be built on leverage, automation and AI.

@Ggudman1 People mocked blockchain for years.
Now it’s slowly becoming part of critical digital infrastructure.

@Twin_Sunsett @zephyr_z9 People talk about AI models.
Very few talk about the supply chain behind them.

[Elliot Sterling @ElliotStrlng]

The internet rewards people who move fast and learn publicly.

Most businesses don’t need more employees.

They need better systems.

I’ve seen companies spend months discussing problems that AI can solve in 15 minutes.

AI won’t replace ambitious people.

But ambitious people using AI will replace everyone else.

The biggest advantage in business today isn’t capital.
It’s speed of execution.

Most people still use AI for entertainment.

The real opportunity is replacing expensive workflows with simple systems.
