@DarioAmodei @chrissyfarr There must be more transparency between AI capabilities and society. What will be the communications platform for which we can see updates that are in real time? Learning about the possibilities of human extinction over some researcher’s resignation is not the way.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.

This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.

Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇
Bookmark it for later

How the World of Work Will Change Over the Next 20 Years - Interesting but the focus should be on readiness. https://t.co/8JGMY7FBLA

[Big Brain Business @BigBrainBizness]

Jeff Bezos on why too many ideas can destroy a company, and the discipline that built Amazon's inventive edge:

"Jeff, you have enough ideas to destroy Amazon."

That's what senior executive Jeff Wilke told Bezos after just one year of working together.

Bezos was confused. He pushed back: "What do you mean?"

Wilke was a manufacturing expert. He explained it simply:

Every new idea Bezos released created a backlog. Work piling up, adding no value, creating distraction instead.

The fix wasn't to stop having ideas. It was to control when they came out:

"You have to release the work at the right rate that the organisation can accept it."

So @JeffBezos changed how he operated.

He started keeping lists, holding ideas back, and waiting until the organisation had the bandwidth to absorb them.

But then he flipped the problem entirely.

He asked: "How do I build an organisation that's ready for more ideas?"

His answer was structural: get the right senior team, give leaders real executive bandwidth, and build a company capable of running multiple bets at once.

And there's a benefit he didn't expect. Slowing down made the ideas themselves better:

"If you are releasing the ideas through time, it forces you to prioritise them better. You end up sharpening the ideas better."

The constraint becomes a filter. The ideas that survive the wait are the ones worth acting on.

The result? Faster execution, less distraction, and better ideas.

Jensen Huang: "People with really high expectations have very low resilience."

"I think one of my great advantages is that I have very low expectations. And I mean that.

Most of the Stanford graduates have very high expectations. And you deserve to have high expectations because you came from a great school.

You were very successful. You're top of your class.

Obviously, you were able to pay for tuition. And then you're graduating from one of the finest institutions on the planet.

You're surrounded by other kids that are just incredible. You naturally have very high expectations.

People with very high expectations have very low resilience. And unfortunately, resilience matters in success.

I don't know how to teach it to you except for I hope suffering happens to you. And I was fortunate that I grew up with my parents providing a condition for us to be successful on the one hand, but there were plenty of opportunities for setbacks and suffering.

And to this day, I use the phrase pain and suffering inside our company with great glee. And I mean that. Boy, this is going to cause a lot of pain and suffering.

And I mean that in a happy way, because you want to train, you want to refine the character of your company.

You want greatness out of them. And greatness is not intelligence.

Greatness comes from character, and character isn't formed out of smart people.

It's formed out of people who suffered.

And so if I could wish upon you, I don't know how to do it. For all of you Stanford students, I wish upon you ample doses of pain and suffering."

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Change has never been easy. It takes persistence and determination, and requires all of us to speak out and stand up for what we believe in. As we honor Dr. King today, let’s draw strength from his example, and do our part to build on his legacy.
