[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Was really fun to engage in a high bandwidth chat with Brad. I'm a huge fan!

[Brad Porter @BradPorter_]

A while back @jeffawilke told Jeff Bezos his ideas could destroy @amazon and then rebuilt the org to absorb them.

We discuss this in the first episode of Deployed. Also cobots vs. humanoids, lights-out factories, and why the biggest data problem in Physical AI hasn't been solved. Link below.

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

A great example of the thinking leaders of every organization will be doing in the months and years to come. Time to re-invent management science.

[Basis @trybasis]

We're sharing more about how we're building Basis 👇

@mitch_troy on what Basis is doing to prepare for the AGI era and why we're launching the Atlas, our internal agents team

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

He inspired me at senior management meetings as he pushed 100 executives to become better leaders and stewards of precious resources.

I still have the baseball he signed for me during one meeting. I'll regard it fondly for the rest of my life. Thank you, Larry.

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

The world just lost an incredible leader in Larry Bossidy. He was my most important mentor as I was forging my own views on leadership and general management. From the moment I interviewed with him to the day I left Allied Signal for Amazon six years later, Larry taught me.

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

He arranged 1:1 meetings several times a year to discuss what I was learning as I was leading a manufacturing plant, operations team, or business. He grilled me during intense business reviews that masterfully balanced trust and scrutiny.

The Re:Build Manufacturing story is just beginning

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Love this reminder that even if AI writes most of our code someday we humans will still need to understand computer science.

[CodeAI @codeorg]

250+ CEOs just dropped an open letter in the @NYTimes with one big ask: make computer science and AI a required part of K-12 education.

This is about opportunity, not just tech.

Let’s unlock it for every student. → https://t.co/ApczRoJRby #Unlock8 #CSForAll

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Really enjoyed my conversation with Joubin Mirzadegan!

[Grit Podcast @KPGrit]

In Episode #219 of Grit, @jeffawilke joins @Joubinmir to discuss his time shaping Amazon’s consumer business, hands-on leadership, and the need to adopt, inspect, and refine process mechanisms.

Check out @mattbeane's new book #TheSkillCode. Matt’s decades-long curiosity about human work positions him perfectly to offer this thoughtful and well-researched guide to skill development in this age of generative AI. The Skill Code is a wake-up call for every organization.

[CodeAI @codeorg]

AI can make a teacher’s life easier! Today, @OpenAI’s @sama demoed our new prototype that creates customized @codeorg lesson plans on the fly and explains programming concepts in multiple languages. Just a peek under the hood of the innovation to come! 💻

[CodeAI @codeorg]

Today's must-read: @FortuneMagazine on how @codeorg is reinventing ourselves by incorporating AI to make teachers' lives easier and to give students "superpowers" to be even better coders! https://t.co/CxiKW4Cwui

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Every teacher and leader who wants to learn more about AI should take a look at these...

[CodeAI @codeorg]

Just released: Fantastic short videos on how AI works — from chatbots to generative AI — in terms anyone can understand at https://t.co/Idy15G8cOK plus a free professional learning series for teachers to use AI in their classroom: https://t.co/qioeDnIIWv #ai101

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Congrats, Brad and team!

[Brad Porter @BradPorter_]

Very excited to announce we've raised an additional $30M in our Series A, led by @sequoia. @khoslaventures and @MayoClinic also joined in the round, further filled out by @neo, @CalibrateVC, @1984Ventures, @FuelCapital and @MVPventures!

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Love "we're just getting started!"

[Governor Josh Shapiro @GovernorShapiro]

This is a big deal — and this investment will create at least 300 new jobs in Westmoreland County.

We’re just getting started.

[Jeff Wilke @jeffawilke]

Really meaningful to be back in my hometown to announce Re:Build Manufacturing's investment.

[Brian Rittmeyer @BCRittmeyer]

Jeff Wilke, chairman of Re:Build and a Pittsburgh native, said it’s time to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. and Western Pennsylvania after nearly four decades of decline.

Yet another example of new models outperforming existing math models...this one from the 1830's!

[Noa Rappaport @nrappapo]

Our new @NatureMedicine study aims to improve our understanding of obesity & its impact on health. Although useful, classical BMI misclassifies ~30% of people. To capture the heterogeneity of obesity, we developed blood-omics-based biological BMI (bBMI). https://t.co/1epgOuPghI
